REQUIREMENTS:
- Latest NWN2 Patch (1.04)
- Latest NWNX4 Version (1.07)
DESCRIPTION:
The ERF file included in this package (Rowells_PW_kit.erf) and the
module file (Rowells_PW_Module.mod) contain all the scripts and
objects necessary to create a very basic Persistent World.
Included in this ToolKit:
- Rowell's FairPlay Chest
- Rowell's Bashable Door
- Rowell's Banking System
- Rowell's Bank Vault for Items
- Rowell's Faction System
- Rowell's Quest System
- Rowell's Discovery System
- Rowell's Database System (using the NWNX4 add-on, can access both SQLite and MySQL Databases)
This toolkit relies heavily upon the Neverwinter Nights Extender
(http://www.nwnx.org/) by Ingmar Stieger. You can download the
latest version of this excellent addon by visiting:
http://www.nwnx.org/index.php?id=nwnx4
The included file (nwn2.db) is a SQLite Database file that works
well with NWNX4. You can download the SQLite files for free from:
http://www.sqlite.org/download.html
Many scripts in this toolkit rely on Database actions to store
persistent data. Player, Character, Item, Area, Faction, Calendar,
IP Address, Public CD Key, Loot Drop and Locations are some of the
information that gets stored.
Once a piece of information is loaded from the database, it is stored
in a Local Variable, to minimize Database hits. Updates are made to
both the Database and the Local Variable.
This is a work-in-progress. There are still things to be done. There
are also many bugs in NWN2 which may cause some scripts to behave
somewhat varied from what is expected (with the Faction System,
for example). The Tradeskill system is not functioning; it is merely
a barebones start of something more to come.
All of the tables are created by the toolkit, which means that
as far as populating data, there is little to do. The scripts will
create any tables that are missing from the database; you do not need
to pre-make them.
You *MUST* be using the latest NWN2 Patch (1.04), and the latest NWNX4 version (1.07) in order for this toolkit to work.
Latest Changes:
- Changed Kill-Creature quests to give credit to all Party members, not just to the PC that killed the creature.
- Added several smaller fixes to improve data usage.
- Added a Text File that admins can use to create all the tables in a SQLite database.
- Packaged just the changed files to the Toolkit to a seperate ERF file.
