DragonMage Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 GIMME A BREAK!! I just scoured the Bioware page this morning and nothing.. Going home after finals, and I find this good news.. sigh... What a time to have finals.. Anyway.. time to download then play.. I hope my windows save games are compatible. Hmm.. just found out that most of the stuffs needed are around 2 Gigs. I guess I will wait until I installed Mandrake 9.1 before I try this, I don't have the hd space right now (my second hd is not connected yet), but as soon as 9.1 Final is out, I can install 9.1 into my second hd then play NWN hehehehe :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyv Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 You don't need a windows install! http://icculus.org/~ravage/nwn/ has a tool to extract the data off the cd's Yay for Ravage :!: 8) Doh spoke too soon again. The files need to be version 1.29 so that won't work. Apparantly there is talk of someone releasing a linux installer that patches to 1.29 but there isn't one yet.

ezroller Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 FINALS?!...man...I'm weeks away from those. I wish I had those done already. Looks like I'll be playing NWN now too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero0w Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 So we still need to wait for an update patch for the Linux installer.... I'll hold off grabing a copy until then :D . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravage Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 Apparantly there is talk of someone releasing a linux installer that patches to 1.29 but there isn't one yet. who said that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted March 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 So we still need to wait for an update patch for the Linux installer....I'll hold off grabing a copy until then :D . No you don't. You just need to download a zipped up patch archive. I can hook you up if this link doesn't work: ftp://alienhazard:isgay@punkrocker.serveh...x-patch1.29.zip Here's what to do: * Install using ravage's installer. (for me I put it in /usr/local/games/nwn) * cd /usr/local/games/nwn * wget ftp://alienhazard:isgay@punkrocker.serveh...x-patch1.29.zip * wget http://icculus.org/~dolson/files/patch.key * wget http://nwdownloads.bioware.com/neverwinter...129beta2.tar.gz * unzip nwn-linux-patch1.29.zip * rm -rf miles/ * tar zxvf nwclient129beta1.tar.gz * sh fixinstall * chown -R dana.dana * * chown dana.dana /usr/local/games/nwn * su dana * ./nwn <-- that runs the game. * ./dmclient <-- that runs the DM client. :) If it crashes on you, you'll have to do this: * cp miles/* /usr/local/lib/ * cd /usr/local/lib * rm libmss.so.6 libmss.so * ln -s libmss.so.6.5.2 libmss.so.6 * ln -s libmss.so.6 libmss.so * ldconfig or some other method of making it realize the miles libraries are there. It works for me on Debian after I did that, but I messed around with this for hours. :( Mandrake 9.0 worked no problem though. :) Hope that works for you. I'm gonna go through those steps again, just to be sure they are correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 Anyway, since I cannot wait and I don't have that much space in my linux partition, I did a trick I read from slashdot, which is to symlink the directories needed instead of copying them (thank goodness I put my NWN in my FAT32 drive). And behold.. it works!!! It's still not perfect.. (it is beta after all). What I want most is to use the 1024x768 resolution at at least 75 hz refresh rate (maybe 85 hz if possible). And the way to adjust the sound effects and voices.. but other that that.. it rulez!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOlson Posted March 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 I use 1024x768. Works just fine. It's running at whatever refresh my desktop is running at (I have no clue). The volume levels are fully adjustable for me... Not sure what you've done wrong... Maybe your config files aren't writable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero0w Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 Dolson, I found another approach to patch NWN to 1.29 on Linux, this requires WineX, however: http://nwn.bioware.com/forums/viewtopic.ht...&forum=72&sp=45 Bioware should solicit more help from the Linux community, as a Linux installer is already available now despite what the official Linux client page claimed otherwise. Perhaps Ravage may consider to crank out an update program himself too. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
