Thanks! I've been running the chat plugin live since the last release. It seems to work great and I don't attribute any crashes to it. I'll update this evening!

The plugin link seems to have died. It worked on friday, but can't download now...

Is it possible to replace text in a string spoken in Party Chat?

I would like to add the Player's current location to all Party Chat messages but how do I change the text and still have it appear to have come from the Player in party mode?

[virusman]

Send another message and then suppress the original message.

I'm stuck on how you reissue a Party chat from a player. Reissuing a Shout is easy, I used SpeakString with TALKVOLUME_SHOUT

for a party chat, do I use this:

string sMsg = "[" + GetArea(oSender) + "] " + sMsg;
dmb_SendMessage(oSender, CHAT_CHANNEL_PARTY, sMsg);
SetLocalString(oPC, "NWNX!CHAT!SUPRESS", "1");

thanks

[virusman]

Yes.
But avoid endless loop (dmb_SendMessage calls chat script).

[seed]

it didn't seem to be calling itself. If it did I would expect to see the location appened to the Party Chat multiple times until the script call max was exceeded. It appeared to work correctly

Quick note to say thanks for the continued work.

The DMFI should support this plugin in the next version. So that you can do anything in the DMFI (UI based or UI Text entry based) via typed commands into the default chat bar plus suppress, server messages etc.

If your interested, the code should be up in the DMFI in the next couple of days.

Edit: I should state that credit for the NWNx Chat Support goes out to EPOlson who has helped with coordination between UIs, NWNx, TextMacro inputs, Listeners (before they were cut) etc.

I seem to be running into a problem with the 1.05 beta patch and this plugin. Logs show me the following:

ChatFunc found at 0x431bb0
RunScript NOT FOUND!
GetPCobjByOID found at 0x4505c0
* Hooking error.

Alright, found the new offset with some creative use of grep: 0x72f690 -- so code modification needs to increase the upper bound of the search from 0x700000

Update 1: seems to be further issues in that text isn't getting passed in. Researching...
Update 2: looks like the TEXT plugin callback isn't getting invoked. Reseraching...
Update 3: Okay, that last was user error... forgot to call init to set the spacer.

So it looks like the only actual change need (thus far) for 1.05 is to increase the upper range of the address search for the runscript hook.
