Yeah, the new version has started crashing NWN on a regular basis, I had to stop using it.

The reason for that crash it people use different nwmain.exe version. The function I hook either moved to a different address (I only do a very simply check for that) or uses a different calling convention which breaks it too.

I use that function to add stuff directly to the combat log, so I don't have to use fake tells. You can disable this - and thus preventing the crash - if you check the option in the compatibility tab of the options dialog.

HGX has timers and flags now. What about something like a counter?

Was thinking about displaying how much damage absorption is left for cleric gate spell.
HGX already counting the incoming damage. The player would have to provide info about max damage absorbed (something like counter=3150) and damage resists

Below 50% of max counter changes to yellow, below 10% it goes red

Not sure why but my HGX is listing respawn timers for all the monsters and has them all listed in my party combat listing while I solo. Is this normal? Version 04-09-12 1.15pm 2.0.0.18061

Michael was it in Hades? I think it might be when enemies fight each other they get added as for the respawn timer I don't know if it does that for anything it thinks is in your party and dies or not.

Where are you soloing? I'd imagine many lower-level creatures aren't in the creature XML data file.

[Michael Buble]

thanks for the reply. It was in URO on the 1st couple of maps and I was soloing with a caster. Actually didn't really need HGX running with my Pariah there but it's just habit to click on it to launch NWN.

Hiya Vichya

2 things . . . (don't take that as a "hands on hip like a chicken"

1) my summon's Kill count isn't right ,it only updates like every 20-30 kills. This is NOT a complaint ,just a heads up

2) you updated my Ubrous public file . . . why ? Did I do something wrong ?

I have to investigate the first issue.

I only changed the line endings from unix to windows style (\n to \r\n) and added the UTF-8 XML encoding tag.

[Michael Buble]

Tried to find this but didn't see it. What's the process to move the middle box over to the top left instead of the middle?

Thanks!

I sent you a PM to see if you can help me figure out why I can't DL the start file to get it running.

Update 2012-04-28:
-bugixes

-export statistics reports with "!echo #export"
--report will be named current.html and placed in the reports folder
--this is just a preliminary solution and will be replaced
--report will get a better look once I get some CSS work done

-statistics are saved every 10 seconds and reloaded at the start of the next game to prevent losing a lot of data when NWN crashes (this does not fully work yet)

-filter option added for statistics
--you can now not only filter a specific enemy (e.g. "!echo #stat.vs pit")
--but also filter against all paragon levels with a preciding "*" (e.g. "!echo #stat.vs *pit" will show the combined statistics against all kinds of Pit Fiends, including Aspirants and other paragons.

[Salek]

Using !echo #stat.vs XXX is very nice in general. I am using it a lot to see if I did the "right things" to certain bosses/mobs.

Would love to have a "copy THIS damage" which copies the damage of the actual view into the clipboard

Keep up the good work,
Salek

Update 2012-05-05:
-the copy buttons now respect filter settings (like !echo #stat.vs *pit)
--filter settings don't apply for chat commands (!echo #copy ...)
-unchecking the Check for updates checkbox in the options dialog works now

[Vichya]

Update 2012-05-14:
-added confirmation dialog for clearing stats
-KVing mobs will only work int a 6 second window after casting KV
-fixed a bug that could result in crashing
-the window that shows the immunities of enemies now has a 3rd tab for mages
--it shows healing type and the best damage types to use of all mobs that are present in the area and have been active for the last 6 seconds
--the maximum number of mobs it displayes is limited to 8
--it will only show the highest paragon level of a mob that is present (e.g. if both Elite Aspirant of the Eight and a Pit Fiend are active it will only show the elite)
-added controls to the statistics window
--clicking on a player name switched to the detailed view for that player
--clicking on the arrows in the detailed view shows the previous or next character

I have heard reports of several people who experienced crashes with the recent version. I can't reproduce it and there is no entry in the logs.

So I've uploaded a new version with some of the features of the last update deactivated.
