 Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2008 6:40 Post subject: Need help writing my first plug-in. |
 |
|
I've just started learning C++, and want to try to make an NWNX plug-in. What I need it to do is when a player logs in, a certain set of BIC files are moved into their servervault folder. I wrote a simple copy function for testing to see if I could get it to work, but have been unsuccessful so far.
Here's the copy function:
| Code: |
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
SHFILEOPSTRUCT fileop;
fileop.hwnd = NULL;
fileop.wFunc = FO_COPY;
fileop.pFrom = "C:\\test\\test.txt";
fileop.pTo = "c:\\test\\test2\0";
fileop.fFlags = FOF_ALLOWUNDO|FOF_NOCONFIRMATION|FOF_NOCONFIRMMKDIR;
if (!SHFileOperation(&fileop));
{
printf("Copy Failed\n");
system("PAUSE");
}
}

I have read through pretty much every topic in this forum and tutorial1 and can't seem to figure out how to do this  I appreciate any help you guys can give me. |

Before we discuss code, maybe you could elaborate a bit on what you are actually trying to achieve ?
The BIC files are moved into the players directory for what reason ? Why haven't they already been there, or if they have been deleted, how ?

thanks for the reply.
The reason I want to move BIC files is because I want everyone to have the same characters available to them. I'm making a new type of server, and one of the things that it will require is for everyone to be able to choose from a set group of default characters. |

| As a general Win32 programming suggestion, you should look at CopyFile instead of SHFileOperation for this, in general. I would only use SHFileOperation if you are dealing with things that might be special virtual shell objects. |

| Thanks, I'll take a look at that. But can anyone tell me if it is possible to make this into an nwnx plug-in and lead me in the right direction to do that? |

I do not think this would work - scripts only fire after a player has already logged in, and this happens long after the BIC file has been chosen...

Yep - what would have to happen in your case is to hook the event that gives the message "connection attempt made by: xyz" in the server logs. At that point the server does some stuff before showing the player the list of characters. You could then move the bic files over before accepting the connection.
I don't know what you'd have to hook though. |
