I'm planning to download and install neverwinter nights in my ubuntu but i'm not really sure it is compatible with ubuntu, anyway here's the system requirements:
System requirements (edited)
2.2.x or better Linux kernel with glibc-2.x and X-Windows
733 MHz CPU
128 MB RAM
2.1 GB free disc space
Hardware Accelerated 3D Graphics card with 32 MB video memory
OSS Compatible sound cardcr

By the way my hardware specs are
ubuntu 7.04 feisty fawn
2.8Ghz CPU
1gb RAM
7gb free disc space
128mb VRam
soundcard has installed driver for linux

Does this game compatible with me?

[kopinux]

anong klaseng never winter nights yan? platinum ba yan?

isa yan sa tumatakbong games sa linux.

[warshak]

di ko lam eh...nkita ko kase sa demonoid...

[pinoyskull]

yang neverwinter nights ba na yan ay port sa linux o thru wine?

[warshak]

Di ko po alam Sir Pinoyskull

baka makatulong ito(eto yung full description niya sa demonoid):

This is a multiplayer roleplaying adventure game with a system based on TSR`s 3rd Edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons(R) rules. Set in a vast land of challenges and opportunities, you can change the destiny of the cities of Neverwinter and Luskan in over 25 single-player missions that will keep you playing for hours.

System requirements (edited)
2.2.x or better Linux kernel with glibc-2.x and X-Windows
733 MHz CPU
128 MB RAM
2.1 GB free disc space
Hardware Accelerated 3D Graphics card with 32 MB video memory
OSS Compatible sound cardcr

Installation instructions
These instructions are included on the ISO's (the emphasised part is mine):

Make sure you have the latest Graphics driver installed for your card. I can't say for sure whether or not this game will run with a generic X driver.

If you choose to not "burn" this image to disk and would prefer to just keep the .ISO images around, you can mount it to the directory of your choice (eg. /mnt/cdrom) with the following command:

1) mount -t iso9660 /path/to/NeverwinterNights1-linux.iso /mnt/cdrom/ -o loop

Obviously, you'll need to make sure 'Loopback device support' is enabled in your kernel if you choose to go this route. Statically compiled or as a loaded module is fine. If you have 'burnt' this image to disk, and it is no longer an ISO, mount the CD as you normally would.

2) cd /usr/local/games

3) tar -xjvf /mnt/cdrom/files-1.tar.bz2

Unmount the first image and then mount the second one

4) tar -xjvf /mnt/cdrom/files-2.tar.bz2

5) ln -s /usr/local/games/NeverwinterNights/nwn /usr/local/bin/nwn

Now you can start the game by typing nwn, IF your working directory is /usr/local/games/NeverwinterNights.


Note - Obviously, the CD key won't work for Multiplayer. You'll have to get one on your own if Single Player doesn't interest you.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-

If you are having problems saving games and settings, run the fixinstall script, and make sure there are no warnings. By default, the archive extracts with UID (User ID) 500. On current distributions however, the first user has UID 1000. This causes the file ownerships to effectively be mapped to root, so any given user account does not get write permission on them. To change the UID of a given file, use chown (as root). The command takes a username and a file or directory. (Like chown voidz0r readme.txt.) To apply recursively on whole directory's use -R (chmod -R voidz0r exampledir). For details, see man chown.

pang linux nga, masubukan nga :)

[kopinux]

pang linux yang neverwinter na yan, follow instructions nalang, tapos balik pag nagkaproblema.

matagal na rin ako hindi gumagamit ng wine, noong starcraft pa at call of duty ang pinapaandar ko noon.

[kopinux]

aba yayaman ka kung kaya mong paandarin ang mga online games gamit ang wine. pag aagawan ka ng mga internet cafe.

pano yung ganun? kung sakaling napagana wang online games like ragna at gunbound free pa rin ba yun?

[kopinux]

tatawagan ka ng mga internet cafe owners na install sa cafe nila yung mga free games na yun. para mag li-linux nalang sila. siyempre babayaran ka nila.

Hmm, where can I get the GNU/Linux version of neverwinter? Where did you download it?

Or maybe, where do you live? Or let's meet, Ill bring blank CDs in exchange for a copy :p

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned this yet: Wesnoth (http://www.wesnoth.org).
Parang Heroes of Might & Magic at Warcraft na pinaghalo. Sprite-based, pixel art, so medyo old school ang look. One of the best open source games ever.
Marami ding user-made multiplayer maps, meron cyang maps na tulad ng DOTA (makulit yung Defence of the Goblin version... hehe), etc.

[.::welemski::.]

Tremulous mga repapeps... ayos toh!

[neil_a]

How about DOTA using Cedega or any wine variants?
