I posted this to the NWNX forum several days ago, but since I haven't got a response yet (and it's a fairly urgent issue as some features are broke now), I thought I'd post here in case any forum-goers here might have some insight to this pretty frustrating problem I'm having on our server machine:
-------------------------------------------------
I recently found that I have been running the old 2.6.1 version of NWNX. So on three machines that I have NWN installed (one with Windows 7, and two with Windows 8.1), I updated to NWNX 2.7 (beta) and updated from nwnx_chat-0.3.4 to nwnx_chat-4.0.1. NWNX and the chat plugin work great on these three machines, and fixes stuff with plugins like nwnx_funcs I never knew were broken until now.
Just now I recently tried to update NWNX and the chat plugin on our live server, running Windows 7, and the goddamn chat plugin now fails to load on *only* that machine. NWNX is running in Windows XP compatibility mode as administrator. I even tried the trick of copying the entire NWN folder from the working Windows 7 machine to the server, but the plugin fails to load every time with this in the nwnx log:

I also tried Terra’s nwnx_chat-0.3.5 and while the plugin at least loads, as soon as the module finishes loading, the NWNServer application crashes and the nwnx log looks like this with the error at the bottom:

Can anyone help me out with why these plugins are failing on this machine? Or if nothing else, can someone at least tell me what those errors mean?
