Hello...
Today I decided that I wanted to make my own plugin to NWNX (for now just a "Hello World, [Arguments sent from NWN]"). Now I got the code done, my problem is compiling it. It does not have a makefile and I forgot/do not know how to create one.
--- "This is what I have done so far" ---
The name of the plugin is "SN". I added it in a sub-folder of the NWNX2 source (Got the linux source from here and overwrote with the latest from here) like the functions and db plugin.
I figured it would make great sense to use the configure command like this:
| Code: |
./configure prefix=/PATH/nwn/ --with-extraplugins="sn"
|
and it printed
| Code: |
[... A lot of system testing - All ok ...]
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating db/Makefile
config.status: creating mnx/Makefile
config.status: creating functions/Makefile
config.status: creating hashset/Makefile
config.status: creating sn/Makefile
config.status: error: cannot find input file: sn/Makefile.in
|
I decided to try make anyway. And it failed with this:
| Code: |
[... make of other plugins ...]
make -C sn
make[1]: Entering directory `/PATH/nwn/nwnx2/sn'
make[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/PATH/nwn/nwnx2/sn'
make: *** [sn] Error 2
|
I also tried (from /PATH/nwn/nwnx2/)
Yet it only lists a lot of variables without giving my makefile.

I haven't worked with the linux side of things for quite a while, but my first approach would be to copy an existing plugin directory, and one-by-one get rid of the files you do not need, and adjust the Makefile along the way... just a thought.
This works quite well on Windows, too  .

Well, this is how I made the initial part of the plugin. However the makefiles never seem to work, even when manipulated. I might not be doing them right though, so I was hoping there was an auto-generator.
Edit: Hmm do not know what I did wrong last time, but I have successfully managed to re-write a Makefile now

Alright, on to my next question about plugins.
When you start the nwserver, it remains interactive. Is it possible to send something to that process or otherwise use the native "command-side" commands? I am hoping to create an method to ban players in-game.
