| + | ===== Configuring Linux to Run NWN Diamond ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Add 32 Bit Support on 64 Bit Linux ==== | ||
| + | NWN Diamond is 32 bit, so to run it on a 64 bit Linux system, you may need to add the 32 bit architecture support (Until I did that, I was getting getting "./nwmain: No such file or directory"). | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 | ||
| + | sudo apt update | ||
| + | sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5 libstdc++6:i386 | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Install NWN Diamond Dependencies ==== | ||
| + | The NWN Diamond executable (nwmain) need the following libraries: \\ {{:getting_started:how_to_play:using_nwn_diamond:linux_20190402-175929.png}} \\ | ||
| + | libm.so.6, libpthread.so.0 and libc.so.6 should be installed with the 32 bit support. \\ | ||
| + | libmss.so.6 is in your miles_linux folder and will be found when running the "./nwn" script. \\ | ||
| + | libGL.so.1, libGLU.so.1 and libSDL-1.2.so.0 may need to be installed: | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | sudo apt install libgl1:i386 | ||
| + | sudo apt install libglu1-mesa:i386 | ||
| + | sudo apt install libsdl1.2debian:i386 | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Run NWN Diamond ==== | ||
| + | The script to launch the NWN Dimaond executable (nwmain) with the needed parameters is "./nwn". But first, you may need to make them executable: | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | chmod 755 nwmain nwn dmclient | ||
| + | ./nwn | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | And if all is good, the game should start, enjoy! \\ | ||
