How do you interact with NWNX ?
Do you like the graphical window that pops up when you start NWNX4_GUI.exe ? Do you like the old school style of NWNX4_Controller.exe ? Or are you one of those who just install NWNX once and then forget about it (service mode) ?
I'm curious.

All done via a desktop shortcut...
I've altered the properties to specify the parameters I want, and the GUI pops up with all the pre-sets 
Cheers

With nwnx2 I set up a command line in .bat and left it on the desktop. I found having the .bat open in notepad was a very easy way to quickly edit the params and save and run the .bat again. Much more tedious to edit them in the small boxes in a icon's properties 
Since nwn2's server doesn't respect as many params yet, i've just been use the ini file settings for most of it.
I do especially like the nwnx4 gui's ability to stop and restart nw server. It just saves that much more time in the debug loop...

| I just installed NWNX4 last night, and am running it using GUI. I like the ability to specify the parameters through the shortcut. So far so good, good job Papillon on this. Just like NWNX2, really straight forward and easy to install & setup with MySQL. |

Currently I use -interactive mode because it's fastest for testing plugin tweaks, etc, but will be switching to service mode once we go live with our PW's beta in a couple of months.

Good plan.
I'm using -interactive now, but it's not like I need that window. I just want the server up and running with the chosen settings

I only started using NWNX4 over the last couple of months. The two PWs I'm working on are in there infancy, so I don't have any "regular" use of NWNX. Once things are semi-stable, I think I will be using the windows service. Time will tell.

Service mode has received surprisingly few votes. Anway, it is always interesting to see how people are using NWNX.

Service mode is nice for remote/automatic server reboots, but the lack of any indicator (like that nice GUI) that lets you know everything is up and running has made it "second-rate" in my opinion.
