Toolset limits

[Legacy_henesua]

               roughly 50 is the HAK limit. I have hit it.

Can't imagine anybody needing more than about 50 or so regardless.

Easy to reach if you are adding content within the original haks opposed to what most PWs does .

You can avoid the palette limit by using nwnx_resman, which allows you to put them in a separate set of folders and call them up dynamically from ingame. Such resources will not show in the dm palette.

Hi,
Can anyone answer this question? Looking for clarification on resman usage. If you have more than one file type in the external folder do you have to put them in seprate subfolders, and if so, do you need to make a change to the ini to direct resman to those different sub folders? Could someone post an example please? And is this the same for linux and windows versions of the plugin?
Much thanks.
Laz

Sorry, I don't check this forum very often. Yes, they go in separate subfolders. Our resman folder is /tmp/nwn/res. Here's the dir:
[nwn@hub1 /tmp/nwn/res]$ dir
2da  ncs  nss  utc  uti  utp

Here's the relevant chunk of ini:
[RESOURCEMANAGER]
SourcePath=/tmp/nwn/res

[SQLITE]
*snip*

Included the SQLITE header just so you could see that there was nothing else below the SourcePath setting.

I think only the last 5 folders are for resman, though technically you don't need the nss (script source) for operating the server. I only use ncs, utc, uti, and utp personally; no idea why acaos put the others in there. It's kind of fun using that, combined with a simtools command, to upload and run scripts on the fly, while the server is running. '>

               Thanks for the clarification Funky, I might try that just to tidy things up a bit, however most things seem to work fine with them all just jumbled together in one folder (although not UTC, and NCS.) If I could get those other 2 resource types in resman too though, the 45k resource mod I am working on, which is currently slimed down to 16k, could go down quite a bit more. Whoosh... no more waiting 5 min for the mod to load between restarts I would imagine.

Too bad you can't use resman with the toolset. But hey... I just go get a cup of coffee or something while I am waiting for the mod to load.

               edit:

For whatever reason I am getting a completely different result from you Funky. When I put them in subfolders within the main resman external folder, it no longer works.

I am using the Windows version of resman though. Are you using the Linux version?

P.S. I was wrong about resman helping with mod load times.
