@ubervison Thank you!

I can not build nwuser too, it seems the problem is in glibc-2.33 and broken fakeroot: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/69572 Update to fakeroot-1.25.3-2 does not help.

The lib32-elf dependency and upstream URL were updated. However, I can't seem to be able to compile nwuser. If somebody is up to grok/fix a ten year-old makefile written in perl, I can happily give co-maintainership.

Please replace lib32-elfutils dependency with lib32-libelf, as the last don't provide lib32-elfutils anymore: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/commit/cce8eb82529145a34ba443a895a6c72ca752944f#diff-37538beb61ff63edebbf735dfcf39e5d732f49183d6beb097169d971875ca422

Also, upstream URL is https://www.gog.com/game/neverwinter_nights_enhanced_edition_pack now.

binkplayer is binkplayer-bin now, please update dependency.

Thank you for the script - it's working great! One thing: The nwn_KingmakerSetup.zip can be downloaded on GOG, it's called "premium modules re-installer" under "extras". If you put it in the same directory, there's no need to use the lgogdownloader!

I have re-organized the installation steps! And wanted to share this here, this is how I install this package now every time. Tested on 100% fresh Arch Linux installation.

--

1) Download the snapshot, and extract it like so: tar xvf nwn-gog.tar.gz

2) cd into the newly extracted nwn-gog directory

3) and place the downloaded gog setup files (from gog.com) into the same nwn-gog directory, so that yaourt doesn't have to download them again.

4) Install lgogdownloader and binkplayer via yaourt first. So you don't run into dependency issues later when executing "makepkg -si".

5) run makepkg -si in the nwn-gog directory, this will install all the dependencies automatically. I discovered just "makepkg" command won't do that.

6) install generated package with sudo pacman -U nwn-gog 2.1.0.21-4-x86_64.pkg.tar

--

That's all, no issues during the installation. The game is ready to play at this point.

  • You can start the game like so: sh /opt/nwn/nwn.sh

--

Some "fixes" I do to the launch script every time I install NWN via this package.

Edit the launch script like so: sudo nano /opt/nwn/nwn.sh

  • Disable the startup movies, get rid of the 1-2 sec delay at game launch (if you delete the movie files manually, game tries to find these movies - for as long this line is inside the script):

remove the ./nwmovies.so: from nwn.sh

  • Fix the in-game cursor (if your in-game cursor is a system/linux arrow. Instead of a fancy graphical NWN hand):

remove the ./nwmouse.so: from nwn.sh

--

Good to know when issues with Portraits:

Newly installed portraits display as WHITE boxes in-game? It is because the game expects any portrait-file names to begin with a lowercase letter.

cd into /home/user/.nwn/portraits and then run this command in this folder, it will give lowercase letter to all files inside that folder:

Copy-paste this command into the terminal: for i in *; do mv $i `echo $i | tr [:upper:] [:lower:]`; done

--

+ You should install ALL mods into `/home/user/.nwn` folder, mods like CEP, sounds, tlk, portraits whatever it is. Use this folder :)! I learned the hard way!

Thank you for the suggestions for the hosts file! I will add it in the *.install file.

I have disabled all movies which are located in root/opt/nwn/movies. Thank you so much for all of the help! One more to add:

WOTCLogo.bik

To bypass the long wait time when you press the Multiplayer button (master server) Do the following:

sudo su
echo '199.193.152.27  nwmaster.bioware.com' >> /etc/hosts
echo '198.23.165.35   nwn.master.gamespy.com' >> /etc/hosts

If I find the answers to direct connect from command line I will post the solution here :) so all of the info is complete! For flawless Multiplayer experience.

Take care, and thanks for great help.
