NWNX VaultSTER ALPHA

[JeroenB]

I am glad to announce the newest release of the NWNX VaultSter plugin!

This version is released in an Alpha stage and can thus still contain errors. Please use this topic to give me some feedback about problems you encounter and successes you have. Additional features might be added during later developments. But compatibility with this release will be ensured.

Unfortunately it couldn't be avoided to make this version incompatible with the previous release of VaultSter. So before upgrading to this new version make sure the rest of the world you link to do so too! Crashes may occure otherwise!

To save people having to traverse to the download page to get it here's a direct link: http://www.nwnx.org/index.php?id=download

Can't wait to play around with it myself :)

Does this version have linux support?

Just wondering as I saw a post from Dec where vaultster linux support was mentioned


Thanks,

greenbean

[JeroenB]

Yes, in the same package also a linux version (with sources) is included.

[greenbean]

great

Are there any CoPaP servers running this version? I would like to know who else is using it.

Cheers,

Jeroen,

How long until this goes into beta stage and is declared reasonably stable?

Unfortunately I havent got any replies on the behaviour of the new Vaultster, so either it works great, or nobody has tested it yet (which is more likely ).

I am pretty sure though that this new version is as stable as the old version.

I am going to test the linux version next week.

so fingers crossed

[teleri]

I have it implemeted but no one to connect with as of yet

[JeroenB]

I have tested the plugin today with Sindol, a friend of me (and a well known DM on Avlis). We were successfull in sending over character files between our servers. I made some code changes which I will release soon:

* fixed 10093 error message bug
* fixed bug in search for latest character file

[JeroenB]

More testing resulted in few other bugfixes. The windows plugin is now stable and I will release it as Beta soon. The Linux part is still no correct and needs some more attention.

* fixed creating empty directory bug
* fixed client id in NWScript vaultster_inc file

I am new to scripting and am having problems geting the portal working. The plugin is loaded per the log file so I know the problem is in my scripting. The profiler is saying that portalpc is being called when onuse is acitvated but nothing happens. I dont even get an error. I am using the script you have in the documentation.

void main ()
{
object oPC = GetEnteringObject();
int ret = PortalPC (oPC, "nwn.someserver.org");
if (ret == VAULTSTER_OK) {
SendMessageToPC (oPC, "Portalling...");
DelayCommand (1.0f, ExecuteScript ("CheckStatus", oPC));
}
else
SendMessageToPC (oPC, "Failure with portalling.");
}

Of course I am changing the nwn.someserver.org but thats all I am doing. Need some help please.

You must make a little fix in the vaultster_inc script. In the PortalStatus function you should at -1 right behind id, in the first SetLocalString function call. That will fix it.

But I will post a new Beta version soon which contains more bug fixes.

well hello to you

Im triing to set up vaultster in a lan, but the server receiving the character file always crashes, I get this error:

AppName: nwserver.exe AppVer: 1.6.5.0 ModName: nwnx_vaultster.dll
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 000049fc

Im using the examples provided in the doc, changing only the host and correcting the bug in the previus post.

The conf in the sending server is this:

IP: 192.168.2.102

The vaultster log is:

Port 5121 is open both UDP and TCP in both machines

When i enter the transition i can read in the box
Portalling...
Hold on
Hold on
(5 or 6 times)

then the ActivatePortal works (it offer me use a character of my account in the receiving machine) but the original character file is not copied

Excuse the lenght of the post, and my bad english, but Im quite newbie so probably I am missing something but I have no clue of what it is.
