Thank you for your answer. I didn't plan to intercept the call on the return way, but before the former GetLocalString is called. So I think it should be possible. What I have in mind is to avoid calling the original functions when NWNX is targeted: SetLocalString would only be used to set a record ...

@Papillon, in case you still look at this forum from time to time... I would like to also hook GetLocalString, instead of only SetLocalString. This way it would be possible to make a much more efficient system. There're some aspect with assembly language that I still have to learn (for instance to r...

Nop sorry, neither MSN or icq, just an e-mail

BTW, I registered on your Bioware guild

DrWatson on Win 9x ?? Don't know exactly for Win9x, I'm using XP. Btw, FastFrench, as you where one of the guys craving for the source code :-) ... when will you release your tool to the public ? You're right, I were probably one of the guys who were the most loudly begging for the code... so I und...

SlicerDicer, ATS Player Vendors are clearly useless without some kind of persistancy. And NWNX is probably the best bet to do it. As I very heavily adapted the former ATS (translated it into french and constantly trying to improve it), I don't know if it would be easier to adapt your code or startin...

I got this same problem a few months ago as I were coding my NWServer monitoring tool. As a solution, I always check for any DrWatson process and kill it before doing anything at all on the NWServer.exe process.

Originally posted by Papillon Also, I don't see how anything that Bioware may do would affect APS/NWNX. Oh, it probably won't probably affect APS/NWNX... will just affect me, as it may be a good enough solution that I could use to replace the @@@ tokens without giving up all monitoring tools I've a...

Well thanks for your answer Papillon. Great choice for Q1, MSVC is my favourite tool ;) For Q3, you clearly answered many time that you plan to release source code one day, but never seen any indication on when. So no idea if it has any chance to be before Bioware's PW support. Anyway I won't bug u ...

As I got no answers yet, I try asking again. Maybe I'll be lucky this time... 1/ (29/1, on NWVault) do you think that your system may be even more efficient than NWN local variables and should also be used to replace them (I think Bioware is really not good with optimization matters... just have to ...

Also, as you have found a way to communicate with NWN in the 2 directions, we could imagine other kind of extension for NWN, like better treasure or monster generation.

BTW, what language did you use to make the NWN extender ?

Hope you'll download the sources soon, so I can integrate it in my NWserver monitoring tool

To save position of char: what I do, it's a function that calls itself every 2 minutes, and update permanent position (with tokens for now, will move to APS as soon as the code will be available, looks really great) only if the PC is at least 10 meters (or < 0.0 = changed area) from his presiously s...

Thank you for the quick update with German and French support. Unfortunately I couldn't have a try for now, hope I'll find some time today to do that. Keep doing a great job, and please, post the source ASAP (cf my post on NWN Vault for the reason). Thanks for all, FastFrench Le bouchon Lyonnais ATS...

Thank you for you reply, if it's just to wait for initialisation to be completed, it's not a real problem. Did you allready fix it for the french version ? If not, here are the strings I suppose you're looking for. When NWServer starts, before any module is loaded: "Inactif, connexion hors service" ...

Even after a delay ?

Would be a bit restrictive not being able to have module-wide datas (which would reasonnably be read at load time).
