nwnx_resetplugin.dll and time advancement?
« on: January 23, 2013, 07:32:18 am »


               We have been using this plugin for a while. Recently I had to disable it temporarily. After which, time actually advanced on our module. Normally it is stuck on month 6, day 1, hour 13 (or something to that effect.) After disabling this, it actually advanced, which resulted in day/night cycles. None of our core systems depend on this (we don’t use shyan’s subraces or anything), and yet it aesthetically made for a much more dynamic (living/breathing) module.

Anyone know what is up with this?  I am not even sure it is related to the plugin, but there seems to be a correlation. I would very much like to see the time advance on our module during a restart. Especially with sky boxes, it really gives the module a whole new feel, and visually I quite liked it.
 
It’s a beautiful thing, and I would like to add some of that beauty to my module. Any help would be appreciated.

               Reset plugin can't be related to time advancement issues, but anyway, there is a new version, try this one instead:

               Thanks virusman. We use a number of other plugins too. Is it possible any other plugin may be causing this?

               Time advancement issues are related to the number of areas and server load (including scripts performance). It's a bug in NWServer code. There is a fix for this in NWNX Fixes for Linux, but nothing for Windows afaik.

               Thanks for the info virusman. If the fix does get ported to windows, I would happily use it.
