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.

Is this what you are looking for?
Install Diamond Edition, Original Edition + 1.69 Update + NWMovies

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: http://home.roadrunner.com/~nwmovies/nwlinux-beta.tar.bz2 and optionally http://home.roadrunner.com/~nwmovies/cursors.tar.gz and http://home.roadrunner.com/~nwmovies/nwmovies/nwmovies-latest.tar.gz

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"

export XCURSOR_THEME=nwmouse

./nwmain $*

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?

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