Basic Host Requirements

[[Category:Technical Manuals]]
== System Requirements ==
ALFA strongly recommends that all game servers run a 64-bit OS for the operating system that runs nwn2server. A 32-bit OS does not provide enough address space for many modules to function reliably when hosted by nwn2server.

If nwn2server is hosted in a virtual machine, ALFA recommends that either [http://www.vmware.com/ VMware] or [http://www.microsoft.com/hyper-v/‎ Hyper-V] be used for the virtualization infrastructure. Both of these products have both been validated and are functional in production use for live servers.

Specifically noted, VirtualBox should not be used or the game will not function properly, on account of bugs in VirtualBox's timer handling (often manifests as perception not working over time or other time-based systems in the game malfunctioning).

It is preferred that the Windows version (Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2 or higher are recommended) used to host the game server be a version that supports acting as a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) host, typically Professional (or higher) editions. Server editions also include Remote Desktop Protocol host functionality. RDP provides a superior remote administration experience as compared to VNC.

The recommended memory size to allocate to a game server instance is 4GB. This may be adjusted based on the actual memory consumption of a module, but 2GB provides plenty of headroom for most of our servers.

== Prerequisites ==
* [http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26347 Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package MFC Security Update]
* [http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8328 Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)]
* [http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784 Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013]
* [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968929/en-us Windows Management Framework Core] -- For operating systems older than Windows 7. Only need Windows PowerShell 2.0.

= NWNx4 =
ALFA uses [http://www.nwnx.org/index.php?id=nwnx4 NWNx4] to host all of its live servers.

While this document cannot replace the documentation provided with NWNx4, a brief explanation can be offered: NWNx4 is an application which runs alongside the nwn2server application, communicating with, running processes for, and altering the data within to achieve functionality which cannot be created without such means.

The NWNx4 application works with a number of community-generated plugins-- libraries of functions and hooks, which are either called from the NWN scripting language or which intercept standard functions or functionality to correct bugs-- which are required for the proper function of [[ALFA Core Rules | ALFA's core ruleset]].

Download the files from ACR.
* [https://github.com/ALandFarAway/ALFA-Base-Resources/tree/master/Server_Files/nwn2server%20directory nwn2server directory] -- These files go in the same folder as nwn2server.exe.
* [https://github.com/ALandFarAway/ALFA-Base-Resources/tree/master/Server_Files/nwnx4%20directory nwnx4 directory] -- These files go into your NWNx4 folder.

NWNx4 is configured through the nwnx.ini file, which is plain text and contains help text to describe the function of each setting, which is installed to the NWNx4 install directory. Once configured, a server is run through NWNx4 by running one of the NWNx4 executables. The started application will also start nwn2server.

== Currently Used Plugins ==
=== Server Folder Files ===
* '''NWNScriptJIT.dll''' -- NWScript JIT support, C# script support
* '''NWNScriptJITIntrinsics.dll''' -- NWScript JIT support, C# script support
* '''AuroraServerNetLayer.dll''' -- bug fixes
* '''NWNScriptCompiler.exe''' -- The script compiler should be somewhere in %PATH%, but it can be placed in the server install directory too. Needed for the content patcher to automatically recompile modules on updates (required, or else the module could break after a content patch).

=== NWNx4 Folder Files ===
* '''NWNx4_Hook.dll''' -- Allows script hooking in the first place.
* '''NWNScriptCompiler.exe -- Required to allow the content patcher to recompile a module. Take from AdvancedScriptCompiler\NWNScriptCompiler.exe on the ACR repository.
* '''xp_AuroraServerNWScript.dll''' -- Script improvements, C# support, allows workarounds of engine limitations.
* '''xp_bugfix.dll''' -- Bug fixes
* '''xp_craft.dll''' -- Customization of items during live play
* '''xp_mysql.dll''' -- Allows communication with SQL databases
* '''xp_objectattributes.dll''' -- Allows the modification of creatures during live play
* '''xp_ServerVault.dll''' -- Allows vault reads / writes to occur without stopping the main server process
* '''xp_srvadmin.dll''' -- Allows scripts to carry out server administration actions.
* '''xp_system.dll''' --
* '''xp_time.dll''' --
* '''MySql.Data.dll''' -- MySQL client library for CLR scripts.

As MySql.Data.dll is sometimes regarded as a remote assembly by Windows, you newer versions of windows may need to unblock the assembly. To do this, right click, pick properties, and then on the General tab, look for an Unblock button. If there is one, click it; if there is not, it's not being so regarded.

=== Configuration ===
* AuroraServerNWScript.ini
*: <code>AllowManagedScripts=1</code>
* xp_craft.ini
** Set the database directory to proper location of the Campaign Database on the machine
* AuroraServerVault.ini
** The text within the configuration file explains how to configure the plugin. If this configuration fails, players will be unable to see their vaults.
** Typical configuration is to set LocalServerVaultPath=C:\NWN2User\servervault , RemoteServerVaultPath=C:\NWN2User\remotevault , SpoolPath=C:\NWN2User\servervaultspool. All three of these can be anywhere, so long as it is clear to anyone doing maintenance what they are ("remote vault" is where bics will be downloaded to for verification, "spool" is where saved bics will be staged for upload, and "local server vault" is the directory from which characters will be played).
** The text within the configuration file explains how to configure the plugin. If this configuration fails, the server will default to inappropriate settings (such as PvP, download server, or custom GUIs) or requiring the module to be started manually after nwn2server.exe stops.
** Remember to ensure that the directories specified in the config file exist! They have to be created manually (except for the LocalServerVaultPath which is automatically created by nwn2server.exe, though it can be manually created safely). If the directories don't all exist, the vault won't work correctly and players will not be able to log in.
* nwnx.ini
** The ACR requires a temporary directory to run. It can be anywhere that the user who runs the NWNx4 process can write to. It is set in nwn2temp
* DatabaseConnector.ini
** DatabaseConnector has only one setting in it, which should look something like:
*** CommandLine=-batch -L 3306:127.0.0.1:3306 -x -a -T -2 -noagent -N -i C:\NWNX4\ssh.ppk alfa@sql.alandfaraway.org
*** C:\NWNX4\ssh.ppk is the private key that you're specified for this server.
**** To create a key pair, use [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html PuttyGen] to create a new key with all of the default settings.
**** Save the private key to your NWNx4 directory, and specify that location in the command line
**** Use [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html PuTTy] to connect to alfa@sql.alandfaraway.org (as an HDM, you should have credentials for this) and edit (pico is the Linux command) .\alfa\.ssh\authorized_keys to add the public key to the bottom. Then, run (Windows+R) "<file location of putty> alfa@sql.alandfaraway.org -i <file location of your public key>" -- you will be prompted asking if you want to cache the public key from the server you're connecting to. Pick "yes" and close the connection.
* xp_mysql.ini
** Set the database credentials up as per standard for the central server. TA, IA, or tech team can help provide credentials. Use StandardQueryLog.txt (formerly xp_mysql.txt) to troubleshoot database connectivity or query problems.
** Set server = localhost to use the DatabaseConnector managed tunnel (all servers should generally use this). If a Linux sshfs VM is in use instead, set server = linuxhost where linuxhost is the address of the Linux VM (this method is deprecated).

If running multiple servers on one machine, the above configs need to change slightly. In DatabaseConnector.ini, change "3306:127.0.0.1:3306" to "3307:127.0.0.1:3306" and in xp_mysql.ini change "localhost" to "localhost;port=3307".

: ''"More so than other elves, moon elves are drawn to a variety of paths. They have a great love of music and make excellent bards. Moon elves do not possess the depth of reverence of the Seldarine the sun elves do, nor the bond with nature of the wood elves... moon elves are enamored of magic, and a great number take up the wizard's arts."'' -- [[Races of Faerûn]]
'''Moon Elves''', known as '''Teu-tel-quessir''' in their own [[Elven]] language, are the most common subrace of the [[Elf|Elves]] of [[Faerûn]].

== Features ==
Moon Elves are medium sized creatures, with a [[Favored Class]] of [[Wizard]]. All Moon Elves share the following racial features:
* +2 [[Dexterity]], -2 [[Constitution]].
* [[Hardiness vs. Enchantments]] grants a +2 bonus on saving throws against mind-affecting spells.
* [[Immunity to Sleep]] renders them immune to all sleep spells and effects.
* [[Keen Sense]] allows Elves to apply their full [[Search]] skill even when making a passive search.
* [[Low-Light Vision]]
* [[Skill Affinity]]: Elves gain a +2 racial bonus to [[Listen]], [[Search]], and [[Spot]] checks.

== Description ==
Fair skin, sometimes tinged with blue, and hair of silver-white, black, or blue distinguish Moon Elves from their cousins. Their eyes are typically blue or green, with gold flecks. Humanlikes colors are somewhat rare. Moon Elf males tend to stand between 5' (152.4 cm) and 6'6" (198.12 cm), with females averaging 5" (12.7 cm) shorter.

=== Outlook ===
Moon Elves are more impulsive than the other elves, and dislike remaining in one place for any significant amount of time. Most moon elves are happiest when traveling, especially across the expanses of untrodden wilderness that still survive in Faerûn. This is probably the single greatest reason why they are so much more friendly and accommodating to other races than many other elves. They do not isolate themselves from the human lands behind impervious defenses. Moon elves have watched humankind for much longer than their sun or wood elf kin, and they know that nonelves aren't as foolish and unimportant as most other elves think. They feel that engaging promising human realms such as [[Silverymoon]] and instilling elven values and cultures in these young lands is a better way for the elven race to survive and thrive than hiding away and avoiding all contact with ambitious, grasping humans.

They are drawn to adventure through sheer wanderlust. They desire to see and do everything possible during their long lives. Like their allies the [[Harpers]], moon elves believe that a single person of good heart who stands up to injustice or evil can make a big difference. The typical moon elf adventurer tends to be a wandering protector of the common folk, not a dungeon-plundering slayer of monsters.

== Characters ==
More so than other elves, moon elves are drawn to a variety of paths. They have a great love for music and make excellent [[Bard]]s. Moon elves do not possess the depth of reverence for the [[Seldarine]] the [[Sun Elf|Sun Elves]] do, nor the bond with nature of the [[Wood Elf|Wood Elves]], but [[Cleric]]s and [[Druid]]s are not uncommon among the subrace. Many Moon Elves prefer stealth over strength, and often choose to become [[Ranger]]s or [[Rogue]]s instead. Like all elves, Moon Elves are enamored of magic, and a great number take up the [[Wizard]]'s arts.

Moon elves share a natural affinity for arcane magic with the Sun Elves, although they tend to be more impulsive with their spells. Unlike their more disciplined kin, moon elves frequently pursue two or more paths at the same time, combining the study of magic with the arts of the swordmaster or the [[Rogue]]. Their favored class is [[Wizard]].

* Drow possess [[Spell-Like Ability|Spell-Like Abilities]]:
** [[Darkness]] 1x/day
** [[Light]] 1x/day
** [[See Invisibility]] 1x/day

== Description ==
: ''"Drow are, on the whole, sadistic, destructive, and treacherous."'' -- [[Races of Faerûn]]
Drow typically have skin that resembles polished obsidian, stark white or pale yellow hair, and blood-red eyes. They tend to be smaller and thinner than most Faerûnian elves.

=== Outlook ===
Drow view themselves as the rightful heirs to Faerûn, and still remember the perceived injustice of their exile to the Underdark. They hate other races and either wish to make war upon them or view those others with contempt and tolerate them only as necessary for trade or temporarily military alliances. Even among their own kind, drow are cruel and suspicious. They are arrogant, ambitious, sadistic, treacherous and hedonistic. From birth, drow were taught they were superior to other races and should crush those beneath them. Children who resisted and showed kindness or love were brutally punished, so as to beat the instinct for cruelty into them.

Most drow on the surface are evil, and worship [[Vhaeraun]], though the rare outcasts and renegades have more neutral attitudes. There are even groups of good drow who worship [[Eilistraee]] or other deities not of the traditional drow pantheon.

== Characters ==
Drow characters are rare on ''A Land Far Away'', outside of Underdark events. They require special permission to play, are treated hostile by PCs on the surface, and are typically treated as kill-on-sight by NPCs.

== Notes ==
=== Differences from D&D ===
* Drow have a favored class of Wizard, regardless of gender.
* Rather than blinding drow for one around, the sun imposes a penalty on most rolls. Unfortunately this happens even at night in NWN2.
* Instead of the spells faerie fire and dancing lights 1/day, Drow in NWN2 receive see invisibility.

=== Differences from NWN2 ===
* Playing a Drow is restricted in ''A Land Far Away'', and requires the approval of the server's HDM. Drow are typically found in Underdark campaigns, or by extraordinary situations.

Creating RP Spells

[[Category:Technical Manuals]]
This document covers how to add simple, dummy RP Spells to ALFA. An RP Spell is a spell that has no mechanical effect outside of a DM session.

To help with the quick generation of spells, we have created the [http://www.alandfaraway.info/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=197&t=48938 Quick Spell Generator] tool. This GUI simplifies the experience slightly so that you don't have to do hexadecimal math or know the valid choices for certain columns.

== Creating the TLK Entry ==
To edit TLK files, you'll need a third party program. In this example, we'll be using [https://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn2/other/tool/nwn2-tlk-editor NWN2 TLK Editor]. You will need to open ALFA-Base-Resources/tlk/alfa_acr02.tlk with the program.

* Enter '16778568' and hit ''Find Ref''. Scroll down to the next empty entries.
* In the Quick Spell Generator tool, on the ''Text'' tab, copy or type the spell's name, and click ''Clean for NWN2''. Copy the text from that box to the empty 2DA line.
* Do the same for the spell's text. The text can usually be copied from SRD, cleaned, then put into the TLK file. Failing to clean the text results in boxes instead of valid characters.
* Note the two lines you used in the last two steps. You will use them in the Quick Spell Generator. You do not want the StrRef column number. Instead, click on the line, and you will see something like: "StrRef = 1352 0x548 16778568 0x1000548, StrSize = 1194, SndRes = N/A". From this string, you want the first long number, e.g. 16778568.

== Creating the spells.2da Entry ==
: ''See also: [[spells.2da]]''
Each spell in ''Neverwinter Nights 2'' is stored as a line in the spells.2da file. This line contains information about how the spell should function, what script is used by the spell, and who has access to the spells. See the spells.2da page for specifics on what each column means.

Use the Quick Spell Generator to do the following:

# Find the last entry in ALFA's spells.2da file, and set the ID to one after it.
# Set the ''Name'' column to the TLK line of the spell name created above.
# Set the ''SpellDesc'' column to the TLK line of the spell description created above.
# Set the ''ImpactScript'' column to 'acr_s0_rp'.
# Fill out all the information (again, see spells.2da for specifics about each column).
# Use the ''Output'' tab to ''Regenerate Output''.
# Copy the line in the text box to the bottom of ALFA's spells.2da].

'''Server Admin Remote Scripelets''' are tools to access [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerShell PowerShell], [[NWScript]], and other useful tools.

Only those who have server admin access, as defined in SQL, may use the following commands.

== General Commands ==
{| class="wikitable_standard leftLastColumn"
! Command
! Example
! Description
|-
| <code>#sa '''rs [scriptlet]'''</code>
| <code>#sa rs $s.GetTag( $OBJECT_TARGET );</code>
| Run a PowerShell/NWScript scriptlet. The $s object can be used to access NWScript functions, like $s.SendMessageToPC($OBJECT_SELF, 'Message');. The $sql object (an ALFA.Database) can be used to make database accesses. The $CreatureAI object can be used to interface with the creature AI system. See ''Remote Scriptlets'' below.
|-
| <code>#sa '''runscript [scriptname]'''</code>
| <code>#sa runscript 010_kill_all_pcs</code>
| Run a script by name.
|-
| <code>#sa '''getglobalint [var]'''</code>
| <code>#sa getglobalint ACR_IMPORTANT_VARIABLE</code>
| Read a variable. <code>'''getglobalint'''</code> may be replaced by getglobalfloat, getglobalstring, getmoduleint, getmodulefloat, getmodulestring, or getmoduleobject.
|-
| <code>#sa '''loadscript [C# Script DLL Path]'''</code>
|
| Load a C# script assembly and call its main function.
|-
| <code>#sa '''boot [accountname]'''</code>
| <code>#sa boot FoamBats4All</code>
| Boot a PC by account name (insensitive).
|-
| <code>#sa '''dumpvars [object]'''</code>
| <code>#sa dumpvars #module</code>
| Dump variables on an object (by hex object id, tag, #module, #self, or #area).
|-
| <code>#sa '''dumpareas'''</code>
| <code>#sa dumpareas</code>
| Dump a list of areas in the module.
|-
| <code>#sa '''dumpareaobjects [area]'''</code>
| <code>#sa dumpareaobjects #area</code>
| Dump objects in an area (area specified by hex object id, tag, #module, #self, or #area).
|-
| <code>#sa '''runupdater'''</code>
| <code>#sa runupdater</code>
| Run the ACR_UpdaterScript.cmd batch file in the NWNX4 installation directory (if it exists).
|-
| <code>#sa '''jump [object]'''</code>
| <code>#sa jump 010_wp_bg_docks_start</code>
| Jump to an object (by hex object id or tag).
|-
| <code>#sa '''compilerlog'''</code>
| <code>#sa compilerlog</code>
| Show last module recompilation log file.
|}

== Remote Scriptlets ==
The <code>#sa rs</code> command is rather powerful, able to accomplishing anything on a server, with enough technical knowledge. [[NWScript]] functions can be called by using <code>$s.'''[FunctionName]'''( '''[Parameters]''' );</code>.

=== Special Words ===
Placing these in your scriptlet will provide a special target or value.
{| class="wikitable_standard leftLastColumn"
! Command
! Description
|-
| <code>$CreatureAI</code>
| Refers to the AIServer object.
|-
| <code>$OBJECT_SELF</code>
| Refers to you, or what you are currently controlling.
|-
| <code>$OBJECT_TARGET</code>
| Refers to the currently selected target. A target can be defined by right clicking them, as you would as a player.
|-
| <code>$OBJECT_INVALID</code>
| An invalid object.
|-
| <code>$s</code>
| The scripting environment. This can be used to reference NWScript constants and functions.
|-
| <code>$sql</code>
| References the SQL database object, for calling queries.
|}

=== Useful Commands ===
Below are some commands used by HDMs, as well as a description of what they do.
{| class="wikitable_standard leftLastColumn"
! Command
! Description
|-
| <code>#sa rs $s.ClearScriptParams(); $s.AddScriptParameterObject( $OBJECT_TARGET ); $s.AddScriptParameterInt( 0 ); $s.AddScriptParameterInt( '''[X]''' ); $s.AddScriptParameterInt( 0 ); $s.ExecuteScriptEnhanced( "ACR_Items", $OBJECT_SELF, 1 );</code>
| Alters an item's price by '''[X]'''. For instance, a value of -1283 would adjust the item's value by negative 1283 gold. The total price must be a 32 bit integer (-2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647) as must the amount to adjust by. Going beyond these values will corrupt the item and either cause it to be destroyed or cause instability in the server.
|-
| <code>#sa rs $s.ApplyEffectToObject( $s.DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, $s.EffectDamage( '''[DAMAGE]''', $s.DAMAGE_TYPE_MAGICAL, $s.DAMAGE_POWER_NORMAL, $s.TRUE ), $OBJECT_TARGET, 0.0 );</code>
| Deals '''[DAMAGE]''' damage to the currently selected object.
|-
| <code>#sa rs $s.CreateItemOnObject( "'''[ITEM_RESREF]'''", $OBJECT_SELF, 1, "", 1 );</code>
| Creates a single item with ResRef '''[ITEM_RESREF]''' on the currently controlled character.
|-
| <code>#sa rs $s.GetResRef( $OBJECT_TARGET );</code>
| Returns the ResRef of the currently selected object.
|-
| <code>#sa rs $s.NWNXSetString( "OBJECTATTRIBUTES","SetWingVariation","",$s.ObjectToInt($OBJECT_TARGET), 16 );</code>
| As an example, this would provide wings of ID 16 to the currently selected object. With tweaking, this command could set a hair style, or head variation.
|-
| <code>#sa rs $s.SetCollision( $OBJECT_TARGET, 0 );</code>
| Turns collision off on the currently selected targets.
|-
| <code>#sa rs $s.SetWeather( $s.GetArea( $OBJECT_SELF ), 0, 0 );</code>
| Make it stop raining in the current area. Change the last parameter to 0-15 to indicate the strength of rain, with 0 being none and 15 being stormy.
|-
| <code>#sa rs foreach( $object in $s.GetItemPropertiesOnItem( $s.GetPlayerCurrentTarget( $OBJECT_SELF ) ) ) { if( $s.GetItemPropertyType( $object ) -eq 21 ) { $s.RemoveItemProperty( $s.GetPlayerCurrentTarget( $OBJECT_SELF ), $object); } } $s.DeleteLocalInt( $OBJECT_TARGET, "ACR_NLD_DAMAGE_PENALTY" );</code>
| Strip the damage penalty properties from a targeted item.
|-
| <code>#sa rs foreach( $object in $s.GetItemPropertiesOnItem( $s.GetPlayerCurrentTarget( $OBJECT_SELF ) ) ) { if( $s.GetItemPropertyType( $object ) -eq 82 ) { $s.RemoveItemProperty( $s.GetPlayerCurrentTarget( $OBJECT_SELF ), $object ); } }</code>
| Strip on hit cast spell (like, say, a subdual item's unique power) from a targeted item.
|-
| <code>#sa rs foreach($object in $s.GetEffects($OBJECT_TARGET)) { $s.RemoveEffect($OBJECT_TARGET, $object); }</code>
| Remove all effects from the selected object.
|-
|<code>#sa rs $s.ClearScriptParams(); $s.AddScriptParameterInt(999); $s.AddScriptParameterString(""); $s.AddScriptParameterInt(0); $s.AddScriptParameterString(""); $s.ExecuteScriptEnhanced("ACR_Quest", $OBJECT_SELF, 1);</code>
| Send the details about all infestations currently on the server to the DM channel.
|-
|<code>#sa rs $s.ClearScriptParams(); $s.AddScriptParameterInt(2); $s.ExecuteScriptEnhanced("ACR_Candlekeep", $OBJECT_SELF, 1);</code>
| Send the details about all areas and their connecting transitions to the DM channel.
|-
|<code>#sa rs $sql.ACR_SQLQuery("SELECT pwdata.Name, pwdata.Tag, pwdata.Value, characters.ID, characters.Status, characters.PlayerID FROM characters JOIN players on players.ID=characters.PlayerID JOIN pwdata on pwdata.Name=characters.Name WHERE pwdata.Tag=players.CDKey and pwdata.`Key`='ACR_DTH_LOCATION' and characters.ServerID='10' and characters.Status=characters.Status|1;"); while($sql.ACR_SQLFetch()) { $object = $s.CreateObject(64, "abr_pl_co_so_pccorpse", $sql.ACR_StringToLocation($sql.ACR_SQLGetData(2)), 0, $sql.ACR_SQLGetData(1)); $s.SetLocalInt($object, "ACR_CID", $s.StringToInt($sql.ACR_SQLGetData(3))); $s.SetLocalInt($object, "ACR_PID", $s.StringToInt($sql.ACR_SQLGetData(5))); $s.SetLocalString($object, "ACR_PSO_NAME", $sql.ACR_SQLGetData(1) + "_" + $sql.ACR_SQLGetData(3)); $s.SetFirstName($object, $sql.ACR_SQLGetData(0)); }</code>
| Place all known corpses into play, if they failed to spawn on server startup.
