Obtaining and Installing NWNX

At the time of this writing, the current version of NWNX is 2.6.1.0. You can download the latest version of NWNX2 at:

http://www.nwnx.org/index.php?id=download

Make sure you also download odbc2_0924.zip

       hashset_100.zip	 
       functions_110.zip	

And the profiler if you like: profiler_160.zip

Note: These are the latest versions of these plugins. They may change, but all are listed on the dowload site given above.

Installation is fairly simple. After decompressing the archives, copy the following files to your NWN server installation directory:

NWNX2.exe
madCodeHookLib.dll
nwnx-module.dll

These should be from the plugins and not from the main nwnx install:

functions.dll
hashset.dll
odbc.dll

In addition, you can copy the following file into the same directory if you want to run the profiler:

profiler.dll

While the profiler is extremely helpful when troubleshooting issues with script run lengths, it can also increase lag if run all the time. NWNX will automatically load it if it is in the directory. If you do decide to keep it there rename it to something else, such as profiler.dll.hold, so that it does not get loaded. Rename it back and reload your server when you need to use it.

You'll also have to copy of the .erf files over. These are:

aps2.erf              
hashset_nwnx.erf
functions_include.erf

Stash these files in the /erf directory beneath your server root directory.
