NWNX4Character Question

[Urlord]

I followed the instructions including setting the ServerVault constant in the nwnx_character script. When I run the demo module:

It will print the base skill bonuses.

It will not print the bic file name.

When setting Abilities to 50 or Lore to 100, the character is booted, but no change when I log back in.

When using the Delete Character lever, I get booted but character is not deleted.

I thought is was the ServerVault constant so I double checked it. Here it is from the script:
const string SERVERVAULT = "D:/games/nwn2/Servervault/";

I did compile all scripts and save the module before restarting.

Any Clues?

I just checked the nwnx.txt log and saw this:


* NWNXGetString: Function class 'CHARACTER' not provided by any plugin. Check your installation.

Don't I have to register the PlugIn with NWNX4 some where?

Okay - The instructions call to copy the xp_character.dll and BicFunctions.exe files in the base nwn2 install folder. I moved them to my nwn2\nwnx4 folder and at least they are being recognized now. But I am getting this error:

Loading plugin xp_character.dll: Error 14001. This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

I grabbed vcredist_x86.exe from Microsoft and ran it, but that hasn't solved the problem.

Here is the nwnx.txt log file:

I think this should have been in the Tech Support forum.
Please move it in you want to.

Well it appears that this is nothing to do with my server configuration. It has to do with the way the plugins were compiled.

I believe I read that kungfoowiz is not available at the moment. If that is true, could another Plugin Developer grab the source for xp_server, xp_character and xp_time, recompile them correctly and make them available to us. Otherwise, they should be removed until this is fixed to cut down on frustration. Just my opinion.

So now I wait!

I kinda hope that this issue will be fixed soon, in the meantime, you can find some of them here :

Just test and tell me if it does the trick.
(as I couldn't tell for plugins always work on one's computer where one builded it)

[Urlord]

I haven't tested the functions in the module yet, but the plugins registered properly with your newly compiled versions:

Tested in the module and confirmed that these build work.

Carter is DA MAN!!!

That sounds promising. I've got the versions linked above, and the nwnx.txt file is recognizing them ok. However, I still am not having any success calling the ResetServer() function from within the game. It boots everyone off, but doesn't reset the server. Anyone else run into this problem? Our server is running Windows Server 2003, in case it's relevant.

I had the redists loaded which you apparently don't need anymore. Try redownloading the plugins and they should work fine.

I'm getting the following in my xp_character.txt file when I try to execute a DeleteCharacter() call:

* Plugin initialized.
* Plugin GetString( psFunction = GETBIC, psParam1 = C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/My Documents/Neverwinter Nights 2/servervault/MobiuSRIT/*.bic, nParam2 = 0 )
* C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/My Documents/Neverwinter Nights 2/servervault/MobiuSRIT\mobiustest.bic = GetBICFilename( C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/My Documents/Neverwinter Nights 2/servervault/MobiuSRIT/*.bic )


What's curious to me is the "\" in the path where mostly "/" are used. But, that bic file IS the correct bic for the character that executed the call.

[kungfoowiz]

So, the issue is that DeleteCharacter( ) is bugged?
I haven't tested the plugins under NWN2 1.10 / NWNX4 1.08 yet. They'll probably need tweaking for it.

Any luck to see a function to change hair ?

Heya

Nyet. Can you try out this test plugin to see if it runs without having to download the Visual Studio runtimes. Once this problem is sorted then more features may be added.
