Rand returns a pseudo-random integral number in the range between 0 and RAND_MAX. RAND_MAX = 32767. So with that URL you're requesting the same range as normal rand.

This has more on the requests: https://www.random.org/clients/http/ whats crucial though is that the plugin receives a plain list of numbers and that those numbers are castable by atoi. You should probably avoid giving nwn negative numbers too, got no clue how it deals with those.

What does the NoReuse actually do? At what point does it start pulling numbers from the already generated .RND files before it pulls new ones from Random.org?

The plugin reuses the numbers it has internally before requesting more numbers, using the newest numbers first before the old.

NoReuse means it won't reuse the numbers it has in memory. So if you do this:

Ah so the plugin will go through it's list of numbers in the mean time while it's downloading a new .RND file? So if I set the NoReuse flag it will simply just use numbers from one of the other .RND files while it downloads one?

I hate to give you a hard time over this, because I understand the language barrier, but I'm not truly understanding what you mean by "memory". Do you mean numbers it still had left from a previous .RND file? or perhaps numbers that it uses outside of random.org to buffer internet recalls? or is it randomly selecting numbers out of the loaded .RND file and simply re-using the numbers within it while it's downloading another?

Memory = the number it has loaded, it loads 10,000 numbers and each time it runs out it requests a new set of 10,000. If reuse is enabled it'll also use the previous numbers after the new set is completed so the longer the server runs the less frequent the downloads are gonna be. It stores max 100 sets of random and it'll always start with the new numbers before moving onto the old. If its off it'll only keep one set loaded and when it loads a new one it'll delete the old, it won't reuse the numbers it already has.

The RND files is more like a fallback, it'll select a random (as per rand()) .RND file if downloading is disabled or if it failed to download a new set. The RND files are just txt files but I'm using another extension so it won't conflict with other files.

Its single threaded so it won't be downloading while doing something else. I could do it multithreaded I suppose but at the moment it runs fine for me so I don't think its necessary.

This is brilliantly well made, I'll have to send you some money in about 4 weeks, you got a paypal? I don't know what the value of USD is in Sweden, but it shouldn't be too bad.

Would anyone be so kind as to post a link to the latest 1.1? All the links on the web are dead atm Sad

https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=964767FB0C3A645B&id=964767FB0C3A645B!4553 (including the !4553 because the php link parse is arse)

The latest compiled should be in releases and if the plugin has a nwscript lib it'll be in the nwscript folder.

Thank you very much! Is it referred to as nwnx_weapons? I can't seem to find _cool in any of the folders.

I don't have the nwnx cool stuff anymore, however the functionality should be in one of those plugins. Weapons is the plugin to grab if you're looking to add focuses to weapons. Events has most of the events that cool has, nwnx lua offers functions although in lua that can do plenty of character related stuff.

If you specificity need cool then try asking around, someone is bound to have a working version of it. I'd ask Baaleos.

I ended up picking up Shadooow's version from another post. I just noticed it was 1.0 and wanted to make sure that there weren't any major stability issues/leaks between 1.0 and 1.1 - but everything is running good and smooth!

Thanks for the replies Terra!

Here's one of the versions which I believe is latest but I cannot guarantee. The original nwvault is dead and the new one doesn't seem to have it either:

Here's my info for nwnx.ini

Hello, I'm attempting to use the NWNX_Cool plugin posted on the vault:
https://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/other/nwnx-cool

Specifically, I'm attempting to replace caster levels using On Spell Cast event hook.

I've ran into two problems:
1. Setting the "cstrlvl" on the PC Object works, but it still isn't returning that value when the GetCasterLevel function fires.
2. Using Class-Feats results in a zero value being returned for the GetCasterLevel function while on the DM Client. Example: Casting Invisibility from the Assassin class feat gives an instantaneously vanishing invisibility.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

I've attempted to manually set the caster level to different values while using the DM Client. It still returned a zero for feat-based spells.

The whole point of replacing the GetCasterLevel return is to ~not~ edit every single spell in the game.
