Thanks so much for the sneak peak! Very excited to see the API.
Quick question: virusman had added some really nifty NWNX functions for saving a placeable and its inventory (SQLSCOExec()/SQLRCOExec()) in a single blob, which l found really useful. Any idea if the new version of NWNX will have something like that for persistent storage?
Also, is there going to be a way to hook into the timer bar like the StartTimingBar()/StopTimingBar() functions from nwnx_funcsext?
@Glorwinger I don't know, hence the question mark! I haven't tried a bunch of old compilers. I just listed the compiler I compile on. Give it a shot and see what happens.
@Liareth I'm not finding a clear way to do that for ruby on Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit. GCC wasn't hard. Are you build with a 32-bit instance of Linux? I can spin up another VM quickly if so. Quick searches on Ruby don't seem like it's a simple task to have both 32 and 64 or even install the 32 bit option.
I just managed (after several hours of testing) to build all the plugins on Ubuntu 16.04 x64.
What I had to do was install Ruby 32bit. I used the rnv ruby package manager. If you already have x64 ruby installed, you might run into issues so uninstall that first or figure out how to have both installed. I couldn't have both with the same version installed at the same time...also you may run into issues if you install several different package managers for Ruby so beware.
(always do this first )
sudo apt-get update
(following instructions from https://rvm.io/ for the following basically)
@Whitegrave Beamdog is only doing the Linux version of NWNX for EE at this time. Not sure if they'll do one for Windows, or rely on someone in the community to figure that out on their own. The good news is that if you are using NWNX primarily for the additional scripting functions it provided, it *sounds* like some/much/most of that functionality is planned to be ported to the base game - so you may not have to wait for NWNX on Windows.
Thanks, Vanes, for helping with the correct version of ruby (I had to use gpg2 on ubuntu 16.04 BTW) EDIT: use version 2.3.0 not 2.4.2 as mentioned in vanes's post (the latter worked at the time but doesn't now)
Anyone trying to get it working with Ubuntu 16.04 (since it is the LTS version) be aware that you will the gcc-6-multilib and g++-6-multilib packages to compile, which are not provided in the default repositories. The following link details how to add the additional repos that contain them:
Be sure to grab the multilib versions if you are on x64 systems and need the i386 support (hint.. you do)
since these will not become your default toolchain you will need to use the following command to get cmake to make use of them:
CC="gcc-6 -m32" CXX="g++-6 -m32" cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../
oops.. had to edit as I forgot the versions in the cmake command
Forgive me for being ignorant. I am Returning to NWN after a long break, and am relearning a lot!
I had NWNX2 running to start and restart (if needed) my PW server. This morning I ran the update to the Head Start. Now NWN2 will not start the server. I believe I have gotten all needed files back in their place, and made sure the ini file was correct with module name and what not, since I know the update removed them.
I am wondering if it (nwnx2) doesn't work with the new update? I am running it on Windows 10. I can start the server manually with no issues.
NWNX needs to be updated for 8152. @Liareth will be providing that update in the next few days. I will publish a Docker Image shortly after that but the updated binaries should be available on the nwnx.io site.
I think all I previously used it for was to start/restart the server and keep it running if it crashed, and that was actually working before I updated to the latest version. At the very lest it started the server
Anyway, looking forward to whats coming up. Lots to learn for me, been away for several years.
Are there .so files available at nwnx.io and I just missed them, or is the only option at the moment to build from source? If build-only, does it matter if Linux is 32- or 64-bit, and is one preferred by the developers (or easier to install)?
If you run a 64 bit version of linux you will probably still have to add in the 32 bit library support. Nwnx itself is currently only 32 bit and the beamdog installer appears to only be available in 64 bit
So I would suggest a 64 bit linux with added 32 bit libraries
So I was finally able to get the binaries built for the new NWNX, but I don't see any information regarding a startup script - is there one? I tried modifying my old script, this time preloading NWNX_Core.so instead of nwnx2.so, but in the absence of docs, I'm completely guessing here. If any information about startup scripts and options (.ini) exists, I may have completely overlooked it. Anyone know?

Tried removing NWNX_Metrics_InfluxDB.so since it seemed to be the source of the error above. Now I get this one:
E [22:18:29] NWNX_Core: Failed to load plugin (NWNX_SQL.so) because 'Required config key missing or invalid: NWNX_SQL_USERNAME'.
F [22:18:29] NWNX_Core: The server encountered a fatal error 'Required config key missing or invalid: NWNX_SQL_USERNAME' during setup and must now terminate.

We just crashed hard. :( Sorry about that. But you can help us fix this! Please consider reporting this crash at http://redmine.beamdog.com with the relevant information attached.
So: both of these errors are referring to missing config keys (NWNX_METRICS_INFLUXDB_HOST, NWNX_SQL_USERNAME), but I can't see anywhere to input any keys, unless they're supposed to be environment variables.
Thanks. I'm assuming from this that all environment variables follow the same format: "NWNX_" + (plugin) + "_" + (config key).
I've managed to get basic SQL queries working and am now trying to convert a pre-'EE' module, which isn't exactly easy. Many gotchas along the way. This really needs better documentation. Willing to help with that, maybe I'll start compiling a 'for dummies' guide to NWNX if anyone's interested.
For those trying to convert, you're going to have to rewrite most aps_include functions in order to keep using the same basic persistence setup (GetPersistentString, Int, etc.).
With the new master server list showing the type of server hosting a PW or multiplayer game, I'd just like to point out that as I post there there is a 2-to-1 ratio of Windows server (13) to Linux servers (6) right now. Although we all know that number may fluctuate from minute-to-minute.
I just wanted to point this out since here since NWNX is only being ported (by Beamdog) to Linux right now. Perhaps priorities could be revisited since, based off this sampling today, there would seem to be around twice the demand for NWNX on Windows as there is for NWNX on Linux? Or, if nothing else, this sampling I hope just adds more fuel to the fire to get as much NWNX functionality into the base game as possible.
@Balanor To clarify, Beamdog is not working on NWNX: EE. I am. There is a bit of overlap because I'm consulting for Beamdog on NWN - and adding stuff to the base game when I have the time - but NWNX: EE as a project is driven by me in my spare time, not Beamdog. Windows support will likely end up coming from the community.
Thanks for the clarification Liareth. Trent also mentioned something like that today on the stream. I wasn't clear on that before, but I am now. At this point I'm mainly holding out hope for NWNX functions being brought to the base game anyway so any server can use them. Sounds like that could be happening, so I'll keep my fingers crossed...

And to get the SQL plugin to compile I had to install libmysqlclient (32bit) using the following (Thanks Garreatt):
sudo apt install libmysqlclient-dev:i386
Also to correctly get it to compile only using the 32bit libraries, you have to use the following lines when running cmake (thanks Niv):
cd ~/nwnx/unified
mkdir build && cd build
CC="gcc -m32" CXX="g++ -m32" cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../
make -j 8
Docker images and such are being shared and talked about on the NWNX discord.
EDIT: use version 2.3.0 not 2.4.2 as mentioned in vanes's post (the latter worked at the time but doesn't now)
Anyone trying to get it working with Ubuntu 16.04 (since it is the LTS version) be aware that you will the gcc-6-multilib and g++-6-multilib packages to compile, which are not provided in the default repositories. The following link details how to add the additional repos that contain them:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/746369/how-can-i-install-and-use-gcc-6-on-xenial
Be sure to grab the multilib versions if you are on x64 systems and need the i386 support (hint.. you do)
since these will not become your default toolchain you will need to use the following command to get cmake to make use of them:
CC="gcc-6 -m32" CXX="g++-6 -m32" cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../oops.. had to edit as I forgot the versions in the cmake command
I had NWNX2 running to start and restart (if needed) my PW server. This morning I ran the update to the Head Start. Now NWN2 will not start the server. I believe I have gotten all needed files back in their place, and made sure the ini file was correct with module name and what not, since I know the update removed them.
I am wondering if it (nwnx2) doesn't work with the new update? I am running it on Windows 10.
I can start the server manually with no issues.
I think all I previously used it for was to start/restart the server and keep it running if it crashed, and that was actually working before I updated to the latest version. At the very lest it started the server
Anyway, looking forward to whats coming up. Lots to learn for me, been away for several years.
So I would suggest a 64 bit linux with added 32 bit libraries

But you can help us fix this! Please consider reporting this crash at http://redmine.beamdog.com with the relevant information attached.Tried removing NWNX_Metrics_InfluxDB.so since it seemed to be the source of the error above. Now I get this one:
E [22:18:29] NWNX_Core: Failed to load plugin (NWNX_SQL.so) because 'Required config key missing or invalid: NWNX_SQL_USERNAME'. F [22:18:29] NWNX_Core: The server encountered a fatal error 'Required config key missing or invalid: NWNX_SQL_USERNAME' during setup and must now terminate. terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error' what(): Required config key missing or invalid: NWNX_SQL_USERNAME We just crashed hard. :( Sorry about that. But you can help us fix this! Please consider reporting this crash at http://redmine.beamdog.com with the relevant information attached.So: both of these errors are referring to missing config keys (NWNX_METRICS_INFLUXDB_HOST, NWNX_SQL_USERNAME), but I can't see anywhere to input any keys, unless they're supposed to be environment variables.
Anyone know?

You specify them as environment variables, as such: NWNX_SQL_HOST=127.0.0.1
I've managed to get basic SQL queries working and am now trying to convert a pre-'EE' module, which isn't exactly easy. Many gotchas along the way. This really needs better documentation. Willing to help with that, maybe I'll start compiling a 'for dummies' guide to NWNX if anyone's interested.
For those trying to convert, you're going to have to rewrite most aps_include functions in order to keep using the same basic persistence setup (GetPersistentString, Int, etc.).
I just wanted to point this out since here since NWNX is only being ported (by Beamdog) to Linux right now. Perhaps priorities could be revisited since, based off this sampling today, there would seem to be around twice the demand for NWNX on Windows as there is for NWNX on Linux? Or, if nothing else, this sampling I hope just adds more fuel to the fire to get as much NWNX functionality into the base game as possible.
