 Posted: Mon Aug 08, 2005 19:44 Post subject: NWNX Server Questions |
 |
|
Heres some questions I would like answered before considering using this program. Any help with these is greatly appriciated.
1) Would a module that has been running on nwserver (the program that comes with NWN) have any problems running on NWNx?
2) Do all the functions still operate correctly?
3) Do functions like Set/GetCampaignInt and the like still save to the to the same database folder as nwserver?
4) Is there a reload feature for when a server crashes? And if so, is it time based (and if so is it customizable)?
Thanks,
-xNTEx-

1) Its not nwserver VS nwnx. Its nwserver AND nwnx. NWNx is a wrapper for nwserver - meaning it goes AROUND nwserver, envelops it. Thus can read data from it as needed for its functions. And no, no problems.
2) Everything that works in your module now, will still work when using NWNx. NWNx merely EXTENDS the nwscript capabilities - it does NOT change nwscript itself.
3) Those functions will work as usual. NWNx does nothing to any of the native functions to nwscript.
4) NWNx for Windows comes standard with a reload feature. Yes, configurable.
I think the REAL question is: Why do you want to use NWNx?
Possible answers:
1) restart my server when it crashes
2) monitor server performance (NWNx plugin: profiler)
3) utilize an external database instead of Bioware's clunky foxpro database
4) and so much more! (see plugins for NWNx) |

Just wanted to make sure the mod would still run without changes.
Thanks for the reply. ^_^

Yes, it will restart automatically if you encounter a crash.
I'd like to see a "timed" function available that will automatically terminate the NWServer application (allowing NWNX to reload the module).
I have seen on the vault a plugin that will supposedly do this, btu it requires some supporting files that I cannot find anywhere =( |

Are you talking about the ResetPlugin? What supporting files do you refer to? The plugin functions as is, but if you want any timers or anything you have to script that yourself. Since we haven't been busy, it suffices for us to simply attache the script to an item and use it when we want to reset the server.

This is my module reload script:
| Code: |
//------------------------------a_restart-----------------------------//
void main()
{
object oTarget = GetModule();
string sModuleName = GetModuleName();
DelayCommand(3600.0, SpeakString("! Server will reload in apx 5 hours !", TALKVOLUME_SHOUT ));
DelayCommand(7200.0, SpeakString("! Server will reload in apx 4 hours !", TALKVOLUME_SHOUT ));
DelayCommand(10800.0, SpeakString("! Server will reload in apx 3 hours !", TALKVOLUME_SHOUT ));
DelayCommand(14400.0, SpeakString("! Server will reload in apx 2 hours !", TALKVOLUME_SHOUT ));
DelayCommand(18000.0, SpeakString("! Server will reload in apx 1 hour !", TALKVOLUME_SHOUT ));
DelayCommand(19800.0, SpeakString("! Server will reload in apx 30 minutes !", TALKVOLUME_SHOUT ));
DelayCommand(20700.0, SpeakString("! Server will reload in apx 15 minutes !", TALKVOLUME_SHOUT ));
DelayCommand(21300.0, SpeakString("! Server will reload in apx 5 minutes ! Please find a safe spot to log off!!", TALKVOLUME_SHOUT ));
DelayCommand(21480.0, SpeakString("! Server will reload in apx 2 minutes ! Please find a safe spot to log off!!", TALKVOLUME_SHOUT ));
DelayCommand(21540.0, SpeakString("! Server will reload in apx 1 minute ! Please find a safe spot to log off!!", TALKVOLUME_SHOUT ));
//DelayCommand(21600.0, EndGame (""));
//DelayCommand(21600.0, StartNewModule("AD_Roleplay"));
DelayCommand(21605.0, StartNewModule(sModuleName));
DelayCommand(21630.0, ExecuteScript("rp_adrp_restart",oTarget));
}
//------------------------------a_restart-----------------------------// |
Which used to work fine, but now it seems that OnModuleLoad isn't firing this script after the initial reset. Also, this doesn't terminate NWServer.
I D/L'd the reset plugin which seems perfect for what I want, but I found this in the Readme:
| Quote: | *Note in order to compile you must also have the NWNX code for the NWNXBase.cpp and NWNXBase.h
|
Now, it should be noted that I do not run a SQL DB for my module due to the fact that I am SQL ignorant.
It is the .ccp and .h files that give me pause as I do not think I have them, and I cannot find them anywhere.
Any help would be greatly apprciated ! |

Ok, so I found those pesky files located here: C:\Neverwinter Nights\NWN\src\NWNXdll
So now, all I need to do is this? | Code: |
//------------------------------a_restart-----------------------------//
void main()
{
DelayCommand(3600.0, SpeakString("! Server will reload in apx 5 hours !", TALKVOLUME_SHOUT ));
DelayCommand(7200.0, SpeakString("! Server will reload in apx 4 hours !", TALKVOLUME_SHOUT ));
DelayCommand(10800.0, SpeakString("! Server will reload in apx 3 hours !", TALKVOLUME_SHOUT ));
DelayCommand(14400.0, SpeakString("! Server will reload in apx 2 hours !", TALKVOLUME_SHOUT ));
DelayCommand(18000.0, SpeakString("! Server will reload in apx 1 hour !", TALKVOLUME_SHOUT ));
DelayCommand(19800.0, SpeakString("! Server will reload in apx 30 minutes !", TALKVOLUME_SHOUT ));
DelayCommand(20700.0, SpeakString("! Server will reload in apx 15 minutes !", TALKVOLUME_SHOUT ));
DelayCommand(21300.0, SpeakString("! Server will reload in apx 5 minutes ! Please find a safe spot to log off!!", TALKVOLUME_SHOUT ));
DelayCommand(21480.0, SpeakString("! Server will reload in apx 2 minutes ! Please find a safe spot to log off!!", TALKVOLUME_SHOUT ));
DelayCommand(21540.0, SpeakString("! Server will reload in apx 1 minute ! Please find a safe spot to log off!!", TALKVOLUME_SHOUT ));
DelayCCommand (21600.0, SetLocalString(GetModule(),"NWNX!RESETPLUGIN!SHUTDOWN","1"));
}
