My post to a thread in Development should really have been a post in TechSupport with a link, so I'm doing that now.

My question:

'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.

Thx's for the tip, I'll look into this.

Cool, you're right. The issue isn't the path or separators, doesn't matter whether they're forward or backslashes. This is what wxWidgets file functions (used instead of Win32 API, just in case NWNX4 ever gets ported to Linux) return anyway.

I think the issue right now is that the character file is still locked by the game program, NWN2. So, we're gonna need some sort of delay between deletes and edits to the files for the plugin to work.

I'm having a somewhat different issue with the character plugin. When I attempt a SetBaseSkillRank() operation, I get an error thrown by BicFunctions.exe which hangs the server till it's acknowledged, but does not crash it.

This is on Microsoft XP, SP2 - using NWNx4 1.08

Error signature is:

Hello folks

Please check out this beta release of the NWNX4/Character plugin:
http://www.nwnx.org/index.php?id=65

It should fix many issues, but please post any further issues in this thread so we can see what's cracking.

Thank you

Questions about this plugin and NWNX4.

I use this plugin for my PW to let the users destroy their own character files and it works like a charm.

I noticed that there are SetWing and SetTail options also, but for the life of me I cannot get them to work.

Using some debug statements I can tell the scripts make it to the BIC command to modify the bic, but no wings. Is this not working / or not working anymore?

Thanks
Laurna

Having the same problem here. BicFunctions.exe crashes when something is tried.

I have the tail and wing issue - it will not set them for me. It does not work in my module, or on the module it came with.

Here is from the txt file:

I'm running a heavily modified BicFunctions.exe, an early version of which was sent to KFW. Works fine.

You may need an older version of OEIShared.dll in the directory of the EXE file, or you need to recompile it for the latest version.

That is beyond my ability. If you could email me with it or post it I would be most grateful Dragonsbane777@gmail.com

I'm having problem with SetTail as well... I use this to call it:

SetTail(oPC,type);
BootAndUpdateCharacter(oPC);

And I get this message in the txt:
