NWN2 OAS: CD key widget

HEEGZ · Post by **HEEGZ** » Mon May 07, 2007 9:59 pm

I'm not sure what functionality the DM wands will have, or if we even have one in the DM client yet. However I noticed AL reference the public CD key in another post of his. How hard will it be to create a widget that pulls the CD key info from a player (and GSID as well if possible). We need this info to keep track of applicants on the OAS and I'd like to have a widget made for importing and testing as soon as possible. If someone could enlighten me, or even make one it would be much appreciated. I'll try to find out more about the DM client/DM wand later this month as I have time to test out 1.05 DM client. Thanks,

Nate

Something that gives a DM a player's public CD key when targeting them IG should be trivial to script, I can have an erf for the OAS for one in fairly short order. As for a generalized system for the main ACR release, I'm not sure what is the best way to approach it- certainly the logging scripts should be tracking this information once they are in, I'm not sure of their status currently.

There is no "default DM wand" yet, though- integrating systems like level validation, wealth analysis, spawn point control, etc, is a big job. I believe there was intrest in incorporating the DMFI wand/UI interface, (would save us a ton of work, and it has seemed very popular)- though we've not dug into testing it yet, as I've heard reports that it is going to be integrated into the DM client by OE with a future patch.

I can see about starting a "player info widget" though.

The DMFI is the way we want to go (I think I even read that OE was going to integrate it into NWN2).

Download it. Install it. We can easily extend the UI to include CD Key reporting.

Awesome news thanks. I had also heard someone mention that OE is going to use DMFI for the official DM client. I think GF said it's got the UI from DMFI in it already. I really need to crack the client open again and get back up to speed on what is available now. Glad to hear getting the CD key info is going to be an easy thing to do, thanks.
