Good think you got it to work this time!

Actually with AMD/ATI cards, the open-source 'radeon' driver is usually a better deal than the fglrx driver. You might lose some performance (usually not with relatively old cards) but you will gain a lot in compatibility and stability.

Out if curiosity, are you using the ./play.it scripts or Ganni1987’s archive in the end?

The open source Radeon driver is what I ended up using in the end - the problem was I didn't clean out the proprietary ones properly and I think bits were hanging around, preventing the Radeon driver from using 3D acceleration.

.. and it was your .deb package I ended up using (is that what you mean by ./play.it scripts?) - so at the end of the day your package was all good - all I had to do was change the video driver.

Thanks again
Has anyone tried playing this in anything other than 800x600 resolution? If I try this, the screen shrinks and ends up mostly being cut off. Anyone else seen this / have a solution? Thanks...

I usually play this game in 1280×1024 (the native resolution of my screen) without any problem.
Could you share a screenshot of your issue? It might help understand what’s going wrong for you.

Been a while since I fired up the game but I was playing it at 1920x1080 without issues on Nvidia drivers. Maybe you have a scaling setting to do first? As vv221 suggested, posting a screenshot would help :)
Hello,

I'm trying to install this on a different PC using the links provided on http://wiki.dotslashplay.it/en/games/neverwinter-nights

The 'without movies' support, as I did originally (which is working great BTW. - and I sorted out that video resolution thing - it was just me being silly)

anyways, when I run the script to build the package, I get this - any ideas? I've tried downloading that file a couple of times - didn't help.

Also - I had to install innoextract as a dependency as well - might want to add that to the guide...

Thanks,


timw@jupiter:~/games/NWN$ sh ./play-neverwinter-nights_gog-2.0.0.15.sh

Can you check the integrity of the nwclientgold.tar.gz file with md5sum?
md5sum /home/timw/games/NWN/nwclientgold.tar.gz
You should get:
0a059d55225fc32f905e86191d88a11f nwclientgold.tar.gz
If not, you will have to re-download this file.

Hi,

I get:

timw@neptune:~/games/nwn$ md5sum nwclientgold.tar.gz
c00d8d6cdfaf2a3e7e6a58961276d434 nwclientgold.tar.gz

I've downloaded it several times now - always with the same result.

The file seems OK - I can extract the contents fine and everythings looks OK (as far as I can tell anyways)...

If you want to give it a try with your file, run the script with the option '--checksum=none', it will bypass this check.

Actually I hacked your script to use the new checksum, and it worked.

I don't know - maybe that file has changed?

It doesn’t seem so:

I don’t know why you don’t get the same result I got here.

I get the same:

timw@neptune:~$ curl http://nwdownloads.bioware.com/neverwinternights/linux/gold/nwclientgold.tar.gz | md5sum
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed

But then if I download and apply md5sum:

timw@neptune:~/Downloads$ md5sum nwclientgold.tar.gz
c00d8d6cdfaf2a3e7e6a58961276d434 nwclientgold.tar.gz

That’s strange indeed… I’ve no idea what’s going wrong here.

timwebster9: timw@neptune:~/Downloads$ md5sum nwclientgold.tar.gz
c00d8d6cdfaf2a3e7e6a58961276d434 nwclientgold.tar.gz
How are you downloading this? Definitely strange that you are consistently getting that other checksum. Seeing as curl seems to work for you on a different partition (or a different folder at least) try:
curl http://nwdownloads.bioware.com/neverwinternights/linux/gold/nwclientgold.tar.gz > nwclientgold.tar.gz
MD5 (nwclientgold.tar.gz) = 0a059d55225fc32f905e86191d88a11f

OK that gave me the 'correct' result.

I get the other value just downloading it with a browser.
