Total Clueless and Total Noob

[Rami_Ahmed]

Okay. So. Yesterday I downloaded NwNx2.
I'm a total noob at scripting, I have an PW with a mate who also is a noob at scripting. Our Pw is running fine and all, but of course, everything would be better with a DB. So I dl'ed NwNx2 after I heard a lot of people talking about it...
The problem is, I understand NOTHING of the Database. I (Hope) I have it installed correct, I have the aps_onload on my pw and the aps_include in. As it said in the ReadMe, Now i downloaded NeX respawn/Death/log system, which is very nice, but it said something about writing something to a Database Table. I know I sound stupid and I hope someone will take the time to help. How do I acces the table? And what table? I've searched the Forum at bit and found someone who said that you had to make your own table, so my question, how do I do that?
I'm seriously stuck at a 0 and need a lot of REALLY basic help. If someone can take the time. Please do help.
[Edit] And one more nooby question, when I dl'ed the Zip pack with the Database, it had a LOOOOT of files. What am I supposed to do with all those files?

[Rami_Ahmed]

I've been searching forums and websites for something, I looked at "Alot of Questions" and followed up there, I did what it said in the Readme's but the DB isn't working.
The problem is really that I have no clue on what I'm doing.

I think your best option would be to learn a bit about databases at this point. While this may seem like a trivial suggestion, it is really the best I can offer right now. Without basic understanding of what a database is, what tools exist, and how it can be used, you will not get far with the database plugin of NWNX.

One idea would be to get a basic book on MySQL, as this database is of moderate complexity, is free, and probably has the most books and online tutorials written about it.

Btw, try the demo module that comes with aps/nwnx first. If it does not do what it should, post the log files (logs.0 folder) and your nwnx.ini here.

Well... Thank you for the reply, Papillion... I've been searching the net for something on Database's but couldn't find anything that I understood really...
I'll post my log here, even though I can't see what it should reveal:

Ohh and one more thing... I don't 'have' an Nwnx.ini in my NwN folder... It says that i should copy it into the nwn folder, but i dont have the file nwnx.ini in the nwn folder, i tryed copying the one from the Zip which i downloaded and put it in the NwN folder, but that didn't help.

As a happy ending I can say that this is all past and everything is working fine now. I guess no one really cares but just if people are still reading this ...

Cool
