The World of Avlis

Nice! :) :prost:
*re-stealths*

Hi. What a long thread.
I'll try get online now. :)

Well into a well

Since when is wireless an upgrade to wire? And is it WLAN, cellphone kind of wireless? >_> (I'd much rather have 10Mbit wire than 500Mbit wireless myself. :) I don't think latency(delay) will pose much problem in NWN. But Wireless transmission will have some order of magnitude higher dropped and out...

I save or backup the cd-keys. That's the important bit of Neverwinter Nights, it's always annoying to type in and especially in my case because they used a font where '0' 'O' and 'D' all look the same on the stickers. Actually, I think I would save all the .ini files, because I have my server list i...

I voted

...and last? :-)

*dares you all*

For instant master server timeouts, add this line to your /etc/hostsThe tip was originally for windows, setting it to 0.0.0.0, but that is a valid address on *nix (and guessing MacOS X too)

(a suitable iptables rule works too)

This is videomodes.c source to build vidmode.so plugin/hack to NWN. /* * Linux LD_PRELOAD wrapper for Neverwinter Nights * * Allows custom windowsize of nwn when running in windowed mode. * Use at own risk, written by Joel Forsberg.

Linux tweaks? Well, that prompted me to clean up my nwn startup script, and it's got a log rotator even if you don't use any of the plugins. Everything after a # is a comment, and if you look trough it, you can see some commented stuff I only use when testing freshly compiled drivers. It might be a ...

I've run the native linux client since it and I got some tweaks/addons to get it to use any resolution in windowed mode. With borders removed I find it much better than fullscreen mode.

(Bit short on time atm, because of assignment and exams coming up next week.)

Actually, I don't have Ubuntu. So any instructions I give about that is likely to have some mistakes. But if you want ubuntu I suspect ia32-libs is what you want. I'm not sure how much that package installs though. To get the native client running for Fedora (or CentOS too I'd expect) generic proces...

The linux binaries work fine, but you'll need some 32-bit libraries on a otherwise 64-bit environment. I'll return with some more detailed tips shortly.

That way it is the first thing others can try when encountering similar problems.

Just direct them to the Alpha FAQ, and have them actually read it in full.

Yes!! Hooray! And congratulations!

Ashan: Does it also work for you if you put an invalid ip? If so, it would be better to use one of those in your instead of 0.0.0.0 in the example above. 0.0.0.0. is special and goes to wherever the system (or network driver) decides the default route is (and therefore results may vary). For me it w...

Here's some extra log processing snipplets to save logs and rename them into ISO 8601 date format for easy sorting. Maybe you find some of it useful too? Prior running neverwinter, start with clean empty logs. rm logs/nwclientLog* touch logs/nwclientLog{1,2,3,4}.txt then I'd add a '&' after nwmain s...

Neat quirk for windows, buf for linux (and I suspect mac too) 0.0.0.0 still a valid address that resolves to localhost. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_route however: ping 0.0.0.n where n is any number 1,2,3, ... 255 does result in 'connect: invalid argument' error message. And indeed, applying...

Let's see if I voted on the winnar. :-)

Haha Oz, wasn't me! :)
And thanks for voting my little ganoom! :-)

S_N did already vote here.

Grunt can jump me at any time!

(How is this different from before?)

^_^ *cheers for grunt*

It might actually stay NOT raining in Elysia for 5 minutes!! :D

Only now, visitors will only have a fifth of the previous probability to experience non-precipitating weather. ;)

Is that the Gnomish Machine Time?

I don't know the world either so well, so it might be fun to team up, provided my char, RP and timezone match somewhat. (I have a lvl6 char as my highest and playing a L4 druid now, live in Sweden UTC+1, during summer +2)
