First make sure that you have the following tools and libraries installed on your system:
innoextract , unzip , 7z , tar , unrar (to extract the game files)
For the nwmovies, nwlogger, nwuser and nwmouse tools, you will need the 32-bit version of these libraries, including their development headers (-dev or -devel packages):
elfutils glulibgl libstdc++5 libxcursor openal perl sdl_mixer SDL-1.2 libX11 zlib Use the package manager of your distribution to install them. On Ubuntu, development packages have the suffix -dev appended to their name, and you can install 32-bit versions of packages by appending :i386 to their name. For example, to install the 32-bit version of the sdl development libraries, you would have to type sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev:i386 .
In this guide, we will install the game in a folder named Neverwinter at the root of your home directory. Of course, you’re free to put it wherever you want.
First, create some folders that we will need during installation:
mkdir ~/Neverwinter mkdir ~/Neverwinter/nwn
Download these and puth them in the ~/Neverwinter folder you just created:
Note: There is a mirror of the bioware ftp site at:
Note: it seems like Bioware took down their FTP servers for good. Here are some actively maintained mirrors, courtesy of dotslashplay.it and lutris.net:
nwclientgold.tar.gz nwclienthotu.tar.gz English_linuxclient169_xp2.tar.gz Navigate to ~/Neverwinter and clone these repos:
cd ~/Neverwinter git clone https://github.com/nwnlinux/nwlogger git clone https://github.com/nwnlinux/nwmovies git clone https://github.com/nwnlinux/nwmouse git clone https://github.com/nwnlinux/nwuser
You need the setup files from GOG, plus the Kingmaker expansion pack (the «premium module reinstaller» in the extras section in your GOG library):
setup_nwn_diamond_2.1.0.21-1.bin setup_nwn_diamond_2.1.0.21.exe nvn_KingmakerSetup.zip Put them in the ~/Neverwinter folder.
To play movies, we need the BinkPlayer from RAD Game Tools. Download it here and extract it somewhere:
Finally, we need to write a custom patch file for the nwmovies tool. Open your favorite text editor and paste the following:
--- nwmovies_install.pl 2017-06-18 00:59:03.297013302 +0200 +++ patched.pl 2017-06-18 00:59:43.553680961 +0200 @@ -59,7 +59,7 @@ $gcc, $cflags, $x86_64, $ndir, $ndir, $ndir, $ndir ); do_exec($command); -$command = sprintf("%s %s %s -Wall -shared -g -I/usr/include/libelf -I%s/libdis -o %s/nwmovies.so %s/nwmovies.c %s/nwmovies_lookup.c %s/nwmovies_cookie.c %s/nwmovies_player.c %s/nwmovies_link.S %s -ldl -Wl,-static -lelf -Wl,-Bdynamic", +$command = sprintf("%s %s %s -Wall -shared -g -I/usr/include/libelf -I%s/libdis -o %s/nwmovies.so %s/nwmovies.c %s/nwmovies_lookup.c %s/nwmovies_cookie.c %s/nwmovies_player.c %s/nwmovies_link.S %s -ldl -Wl,-static -lelf -Wl,-Bdynamic -lz", $gcc, $cflags, $x86_64, $ndir, $ndir, $ndir, $ndir, $ndir, $ndir, $ndir, $ldflags ); do_exec($command);
Save it as libz.patch in the ~/Neverwinter folder.
To verify, make sure your ~/Neverwinter folder looks like this (type ls -1 ):
English_linuxclient169_xp2.tar.gz libz.patch nvn_KingmakerSetup.zip nwclientgold.tar.gz nwclienthotu.tar.gz nwlogger nwmouse nwmovies nwuser README.md setup_nwn_diamond_2.1.0.21-1.bin setup_nwn_diamond_2.1.0.21.exe
Unless specified otherwise, all commands are executed from the ~/Neverwinter folder you created before.
innoextract -e setup_nwn_diamond_2.1.0.21.exe --gog
This will create a bunch of folders in your ~/Neverwinter directory.
- Extract King Maker data files into kingmakertemp (excluding the $PLUGINSDIR folder, as well as exe and dat files):
unzip nvn_KingmakerSetup.zip 7z x KingmakerSetup.exe -xr'!$PLUGINSDIR' -xr'!*.exe' -xr'!*.dat' -okingmakertemp
cd game mv -t ~/Neverwinter/nwn ambient data dmvault hak localvault modules movies music nwm texturepacks premium chitin.key dialog.tlk xp1.key xp2.key cp ~/Neverwinter/support/app/nwncdkey.ini ~/Neverwinter/nwn
- Move over the contents of the nwlogger , nwmovies , nwuser and nwmouse folders into the nwn subfolder:
cd ~/Neverwinter mv nwmouse/* nwn/ -mv nwlogger/* nwn/ mv nwuser/* nwn/ mv nwmovies/* nwn
- Extract the Linux client files in this order and move over the King Maker game files:
tar xfv nwclientgold.tar.gz --directory nwn tar xvf nwclienthotu.tar.gz --directory nwn mv -n kingmakertemp/\$0/* nwn/ tar xvf English_linuxclient169_xp2.tar.gz --directory nwn
- Compile and install nwmouse, nwuser, nwlogger and nwmovies. You need to patch nwlogger_cookie.c so that gcc finds the sys/user.h header file. We will also apply the libz.patch patch that we created before:
cp libz.patch nwn/nwmovies/ cd nwn /bin/sed -i 's|linux/user.h|sys/user.h|1' nwlogger/nwlogger_cookie.c cd nwmovies patch libz.patch cd .. ./nwmouse_install.pl ./nwlogger_install.pl ./nwmovies_install.pl build ./nwuser_install.pl cp nwmovies/libdis/libdisasm.so lib/
#!/bin/bash # Create user directory if it doesn't exist if [ ! -d "$HOME/.nwn/" ]; then mkdir $HOME/.nwn/ fi # Uncomment to make SDL sound work on software mixers #export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=esd export SDL_MOUSE_RELATIVE=0 export SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0 # Hardware mouse cursor export XCURSOR_PATH=/opt/nwn export XCURSOR_THEME=nwmouse # Enable AA on NVidia cards # 3 = 1.5 x 1.5 super sampling # 4 = 2x2 super sampling export __GL_FSAA_MODE=4 export LD_PRELOAD=./nwuser.so:./nwuser64.so:./nwmouse.so:./nwmovies.so:./nwlogger.so export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./miles:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH #run the game, allowing for executable flags ./nwmain $@
Save it as nwn.sh inside the nwn directory and make it executable, like so:
cd ~/Neverwinter/nwn chmod +x nwn.sh
- Run the fixinstall script. It will rename a bunch of files and check file permissions. Look carefully at the output and make sure that all tests pass.
cd ~/Neverwinter/nwn ./fixinstall
- If you want to play movies, you need to put the BinkPlayer executables you downloaded into the nwmovies folder:
mv BinkPlayer ~/Neverwinter/nwn/nwmovies/ mv BinkPlayer64 ~/Neverwinter/nwn/nwmovies/ chmod +x ~/Neverwinter/nwn/nwmovies/BinkPlayer*
- Test the game by running ./nwn.sh . You will have to run it several times in order for the various nwlinux tools to intialize their configuration files.
You can now run the game with ./nwn.sh .
Optional: .desktop entry and icons
In this part we will create a .desktop entry so that you can run the game from your applications menu.
[Desktop Entry] Categories=Game; Comment=A Forgotten Realms CRPG Exec=$HOME/Neverwinter/nwn/nwn.sh Icon=nwn Name=Neverwinter Nights NoDisplay=false StartupNotify=true Terminal=false Type=Application
Save it as nwn.desktop and move it to /usr/share/applications/ :
sudo mv nwn.desktop /usr/share/applications/
Next we’ll create icons to go with your shiny new desktop entry.
First we will convert the .ico provided by the GOG installer into the more usable png format:
cd ~/Neverwinter mkdir icons icotool -x -p 0 game/goggame-1207658890.ico -o icons
Then we’ll install them into the system’s icon folder:
sudo mv icons/goggame-1207658890_6_256x256x32.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/nwn.png sudo mv icons/goggame-1207658890_7_48x48x32.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/nwn.png sudo mv icons/goggame-1207658890_8_32x32x32.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/nwn.png sudo mv icons/goggame-1207658890_9_16x16x32.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/nwn.png
Finally, we update the icon cache:
xdg-icon-resource forceupdate --theme hicolor
