Hello.

SOmeone made an extraordinarily good linux installation guide, it -just- worked. there was a 64 bit guide as well. and i know some well say: just use POL, but no, i want native. someone here had a perfect guide, and someone posted a download to a pack of files he had taken from the bioware downloads. It was about 6.8 mb, only because as he stated: thats the only difference. I am afraid i have lost this package, and i would very much like to see it again.

Please give me some help if anyone remember.

thank you for your time.

Installing the gog version is a little different than that. I modified the diamond-dvd PKGBUILD for arch to work with the GOG version. (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nwn-gog/)

I recommend:
mkdir /opt/nwn
innoextract -e setup_nwn_diamond_2.0.0.15.exe
mv app/* /opt/nwn
mv /opt/nwn/nwncdkey.ini ~/mygognwnkey.ini
tar -zxvf nwclientgold.tar.gz -C /opt/nwn
tar -zxvf nwclienthotu.tar.gz -C /opt/nwn
tar -zxvf English_linuxclient162_xp2.tar.gz -C /opt/nwn
cd /opt/nwn
./fixinstall
chown -R root:root /opt/nwn
chmod -R o+r /opt/nwn

get: [url=http://home.roadrunner.com/~nwmovies/nwlinux-beta.tar.bz2]http://home.roadrunner.com/~nwmovies/nwlinux-beta.tar.bz2[/url] and optionally [url=http://home.roadrunner.com/~nwmovies/cursors.tar.gz]http://home.roadrunner.com/~nwmovies/cursors.tar.gz[/url] and [url=http://home.roadrunner.com/~nwmovies/nwmovies/nwmovies-latest.tar.gz]http://home.roadrunner.com/~nwmovies/nwmovies/nwmovies-latest.tar.gz[/url]

I think nwusers in particular is a great addon, it makes it so all your save games, user mods, and other changes to base data go in ~/.nwn instead of into your base install path.

tar -jxzf nwlinux-beta.tar.bz2 -C /opt/nwn
./nwuser_install.pl


Copy the following into a new file /usr/bin/nwn (or /usr/local/bin/nwn):
[code]
#!/bin/sh

# Create user directory if it doesn't exist
if [ ! -d "$HOME/.nwn/" ]; then
mkdir $HOME/.nwn/
fi

cd "/opt/nwn"

exit $?
[/code]
(Comment out or erase any parts that don't apply, depending on which of the nwlinux modules were applied)
chmod +x /usr/bin/nwn






I should mention that you probably want to delete/rename the copy of SDL that's shipped with it. Alternately you can remove ./miles from the preload path.

It is not, It was a short, brilliant guide on this forum with it's own download link to a .7z file.

I was having terrible time trying to setup NWN in Linux finally found this guide that worked for me:
robotbutler.org/article/13

Does any of this work with intel graphics?

This?

Will Check it out, thank you so much :D

If it's any help I compiled this patch with a series of fixes included for modern Linux distros.
