I dropped Josh an email, checked out some out-dated websites, and researched the heck out of this thing, but there is, nowhere (especially not on the no-longer existing guild suggested here) any help with setting this system up. I spent the last year building an NWN server only to just now find out about NWNX and the Talus Speech system. I have done all the steps indicated, and I already had a mysql database set up because of the website my server box is running, but for the life of me I can't get the system to pick up speech. It recognizes player log ons and the like, but no speech at all. I am begging, at this point, for any help you can give.
I know this thread and "forum" is extremely outdated, but the threads on other parts of this proboards are still active which implies people are here, it's just josh that has fallen off the face of the earth. Any help is more than appreciated.
I'll keep an eye on these forums.

I managed to get the speech to show up finally, after a week of this, and a little luck with mySQL, but I am still unable to get the *help* or any emotes to work. Anyway, just giving an update. Thanks again if anyone is willing to help me.

I cant make any promises but I did send an email to Lanthar letting him know you would appreciate some assistance if he had the time. Again I cannot speak for him or if he is going to get involved but I did email him as a heads up.
Good luck!

Well, I first found NWNX. NWNX lead to the Talus Speech System, saying that I needed to install the speech system in order to get NWNX Chat to work. Then I found Talus and found that this is what the people who run most servers on NWN do.
I already had a mySQL running because my server box also runs websites and the forum for my server. That was a whole debacle to set up in itself, but I was lucky, it was already running in my case. So all I had to do was install according to the NWNX & Talus directions. The trickiest part was connecting to the mySQL database. It was a matter of editing the .ini files in a text editor. It's a series of settings like "for mySQL users, use these settings" that you have to edit and set according to your mySQL, username, password, and the like.
I also followed the directions of the Talus Listener. It was also pretty simple. I managed to load up my server with the "Talus Speech Setup" module, and load up NWNX and the Talus Listener program. Then I got the error that it couldn't find my database. I had to select from two pieces of hardware. I picked 2 the first time and was wrong, then picked 1 and it worked...well sort of. I still have to pick 1 ever time I load up the listener. Regardless, I got into the module and saw it pop up with my IP and that I had logged in. Anything I said popped into the window, though for the life of me I can't find a log file anywhere.
In any case, I was excited, so I rushed my little character up to the "Setup Talus Speech System" lever and clicked....and nothing happened.
I clicked all of the levers, and couldn't manage to get anything to work. I switched back over to my module, and as long as I run the Talus Listener program, I can now see speech in my module (again, no clue where the log is) but I can't get the emotes or *help* to work.
Since you were asking though, if you want a more definitive walkthrough I can attempt one. Let me know how it works out.

I will try to contact Lanthar at some point this weekend, but no promises as I am also very busy IRL. It might be next weekend. I can ask about this as well as a couple of other things I want to talk over but I need to have things prepared on my end.

Finally got around to checking that old email address First, which version are you using? 3.06b is available on the worldoftalus.com site in the script downloads section. There are rather complete instructions in the package.
