deletechar plugin - crashes server

Has anyone else experienced the occasion server crash when someone uses the deletechar plugin? I don't see anything posted on this and was curious if others are experiencing the same thing.

I have an NPC conversation where people can go up and delete their own characters. Works most of the time. It seems as though the characters that crash the server don't get deleted either.

BTW - what happened to the oringal information on the Deletechar plugin?

The possible explanation is that deletechar plugin check character name from game and file to see what delete. So it have to loop through all files in folder, open them, read them and compare FirstName + LastName with the ingame name, that could be very very slow (and unrealiable too) and maybe thats why it crash. I suggest to use nwnx_system if linux or my NWNX Files, but that have disadvantage that you have to get the file name to delete yourself then.

Could someone email me the plugin? I'll see if it's possible to fix the crash with a small hack to the DLL (without source, it's unlikely, but not impossible). Otherwise, it shouldn't be too hard to reimplement from scratch, but my todo list is long. Smile

Using nwnx_files I wrote this:

#include "nwnx_files"
#include "nwnx_funzioni"

void main()
{
int Ret;
object oPC = GetPCSpeaker();

string pname = "servervault/"+GetPCPlayerName(oPC);
string cname = GetBicFileName(oPC)+".bic";
DelayCommand(1.0,BootPC(oPC));
ActionWait(2.0);
Ret = FileDeleteFile(cname,pname);
if (!Ret) SendMessageToAllDMs("ERROR: Il pg non e' stato cancellato");
}

In nwnx.txt I read this:
* Loading plugins...
* Plugin files is loaded.
* Plugin resetplugin is loaded.
* NWNX2 activated.

And in nwnx_files.txt:
* Request to delete file: servervault/Energia/michele.bic.
> File suceesfully deleted.

Howewer file is not deleted! (I'm using Windows Vista)
