Check out our new website for updates and the NWNX forum: www.nwnx.org ! The Neverwinter Nights Extender (NWNX) is a solution that adds new functionality to the dedicated server. It dynamically loads libraries into the server that can perform various tasks, like ODBC database connectivity. You can create your own NWNX module starting with version 2.5 and do things that you can't even dream of in NWScript.
About the ODBC interface: Unlike other persistence systems, the Avlis Persistence System (APS) and the underlying NWN Extender 2 read and write information from database servers like MySQL or other products on the fly and make information stored in the database available in real-time.
You can edit the default port by opening up the client and starting a multiplayer game. Under the advanced tab you will find the host port.

For some reason after the server crashes it is reloading on a different port (5122) rather than 5121. Is there a setting to make sure it always loads to 5121?

Perhaps an ide to actualy mention in the documentation that you need XP2 to import the aps2.erf file. I spent time installing nwnx2 on my server and did all the preperation with making dp and dp access. setting up tables and everything just to find out that the god dam erf need XP2 to be used in my PW. No where in the documentation is this mention with one word. Is demand for XP2 final ? or are there ways around it ? If not what about nwnx and nwn-ff ? Do this need XP2 ? if not do they both use MySQL ? whats the diference about all this three. grr ;)

Do you actually need mySQL to run this?

Hi I use MS-SQL for work and understand it very well. My-SQL only does some things different and its pretty easy to learn if you already know SQL. Having said that, as NWNX uses an OBDC connection all the functions should work okay. This is providing the nwnx dll files do not use something special when they call the sql database. From what I have seen all scripts in NWNX are very simple and should work straight away. There may be a few update commands and the like that are not the same between MS-SQL and My-SQL. So I guess just set up a test module and give it a go with MS-SQL and you might only have to change a few NWN scripts. As for me, I just learnt to use MySQL. Althugh i miss the other features MS-SQL has.

actually DrDread, MySQL is the same if not better than MS SQL not to mention its free. Besides, if your using the odbc you shouldnt have to worry about a change UNLESS MS uses something other than standard SQL.. would figure since they dont go by any standard and just do whatever they want w/o regard to anyone or anything elseI have read of a place where humans do battle in a ring of jello - Teal'C, SG-1 _________________________ I have read of a place where humans do battle in a ring of jello - Teal'C, SG-1

Im dying for a MS SQL version of a recompile. Everyone I know is dropping using this for now because we all have MS SQL of various versions and aren't about to drop down to MySQL or Access easily but it might be inevitable. Wheres a good place to MySQL for Free/Low price , havn't looked into it in years.

Big question (may have been answered elsewhere) Has multiple sql logins been addressed? Would love to have several small worlds using a diff database with this.. but, w/o a source rewrite (if not already implemented) is there something out there??I have read of a place where humans do battle in a ring of jello - Teal'C, SG-1 _________________________ I have read of a place where humans do battle in a ring of jello - Teal'C, SG-1

One question, How would I go about using the Hard Core rules with this database program. I want the persistance but I would also like the HC Rules as well. how would I go about doing that?
