HOWTO: Installing Neverwinter Nights Platinum

[Elvish Legion]

Check out http://dreunoctem.com/

I used to play there a bit

[Elvish Legion]

How do I change the resolution? It tries to resize my screen and I get mode not supported...is it in the config.ini?

[leech]

It is in nwn.ini. It is line 8 and 9.

I'm having problems with this method. at the end of install process i get the following message:
"Testing for ImageMagick convert
convert not found!
convert is a part of the Image Magick tools, used here to make the nwn.iso a Linux friendly nwn.xps
Skipping image conversion"

i get it with both the diamond edition(when it works) and the platinum edition. when i load neverwinter nights, i just get prompted for my keys, and it never gets any farther. it just keeps prompting for the keys over and over again. any suggestions?

Have you tried installing Imagemagick? I always thought it was installed by default. 'sudo apt-get install imagemagick'

no didn't install Imagemagick, but in anycase i got Neverwinter nights installed and working, but it runs kinda slow. my previous problem was i just installed it in the default location which for some reason you don't have permissions to edit files, so i just changed the install location. also text on the game seems to be kinda mis-aligned...do you think Imagemagick would correct this or would this be a problem caused by my graphics card(ati 9200 128MB AGP)?
*note*
I am in the process of migrating from windows, so please be patient with me.

[leech]

Well, I would install imagemagick anyhow, since it's used by a lot of things.

As far as the text goes, I don't know, I don't have an ATI card, though I do know if you don't have certain fonts installed, you will get no text at all. Make sure you have msttcorefonts installed.

( sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts )

Worked great until I got to the part where it needed the cd key... apparently I lost the manual but was able to hold onto the box/cd fold out book. perhaps it will turn up around the same time I find where I backed up my old characters...

I'm getting this error message when the script tries to access disk 2 on my cdrom drive:

Cannot read "/media/cdrom/disk2.zip".
Please check that disk 2 is in /media/cdrom
Press Enter to continue.

I've got two dvd/cd drives, I've tried changing the path to cdrom0 and cdrom1, doesn't work. Nautilus displays the contents, but that's just it.

Any ideas?

Does anyone have the install script saved that they could mirror for me? It seems the install-nwn.sh has been removed from the host, and I need to reextract the game For some reason, installing from the Bioware download pack isn't working for me, but the script worked great last time I did it. Hopefully someone kept it around...

Thanks!
