What happens if I remove NWNX from my server?
« on: March 24, 2015, 09:56:48 am »


               

I am working on a module that uses "1) nwnx and plugins 2) overrides 3)nwnplayer.ini configs..." but the module does not use HAK. Is a special module like no other. I am working to put it in the nwn vault. I would like to make available a version "offline" of My module in nwnvault in other words: I would like to make easy accessing my module.


 


I would give only the *.mod file and everyone could play it in nwn client: Menu > "New Game" > Other Modules > My Module > "Start Game".


 


My module is NO-HAK so I don't see problems in create one HAK pack because my module will needs to download. Could I store all things from override in a hak pack?


 


What things I'll lose removing nwnx (I would say about bugs because I have NWNX_PATCH plugin I am using C. Patch Project)?

Well, obviously you will loose every bit of functionality coming from nwnx and related plugins. A text search in the script editor will quickly reveal how much your mod depends on nwnx. For the bugs corrected by nwnx_patch, looking at the CPP documentation will tell you what you gain/loose from using it or not.


 


You can indeed create a hak holding the files in your override folder.

I'm thinkin about substitute: nwnx database --> Bioware DB


 


And remove OnClientEnter(and other scripts) persistent actions


 


make it only a Offline campaign without persistent locations

All feasible indeed. If you intend to use the Bioware DB, you'll want to ensure that it remains clean, however. Just so you know, SDBF is a simple external tool to manipulate the DB, it works very well and it's free '<img'>
