Neverwinter Nights Client For Linux

Neverwinter Nights (NWN) is a computer game set in a huge medieval fantasy world of Dungeons and Dragons. Neverwinter Nights puts you at the center of an epic tale of faith, war, and betrayal.

As a player, you are able to choose what skills and abilities you will develop as you voyage though the complex and dangerous fantasy world of Forgotten Realms. Be a deadly and dangerous Rogue moving through the shadows using stealth and secrecy, be a scholarly Wizard and wield powerful magic against your enemies, be a hulking Barbarian whose lust for battle is matched only by his terrible rage, be an armor-clad Paladin who protects the innocent and vanquishes his foes, be a crusading Cleric who heals the sick and defends the helpless... be all this and more.

Neverwinter Nights allows you to create your own worlds. This revolutionary game will come with all the tools needed to construct your own unique lands of adventure. The Neverwinter Nights Aurora Toolset allows even novice users to construct everything from a quiet, misty forest or a dripping cavern of foul evil, to a king's court. All the monsters, items, set pieces and settings are there for world builders to use. But do not stop there; construct traps, encounters, custom monsters and magic items to make your adventure unique.

But the Neverwinter experience is not just for one person- adventure with all your friends. Neverwinter Nights can be played online with up to 64 friends, all sharing in the adventure. You can organize and run your own adventures through the role of the Dungeon Master and control all the monsters, creatures and characters your friends meet as they journey on their quest. A powerful piece of software that is included with Neverwinter Nights, the DM Client, allows nearly unlimited control for running your own adventures for your friends.

Neverwinter Nights...endless adventure!

ini file setting additions/changes · Added new nwnplayer.ini file settings, so that red/green color blind users don't get killed by traps unexpectedly. · FriendlyColor=0,255,0 · HostileColor=255,0,0 · Added ability to turn off visible cloaks in the nwnplayer.ini file (set to 1 to enable cloaks, 0 for no visible cloaks). · Visible Cloaks=1 · Added in-game text swear filter nwnplayer.ini setting (set to 1 to enable, only supports English). · In-game Text Swear Filter=0 · Added new nwnplayer.ini file setting to always roll maximum hit points at level up for players (defaults to off). · Max Hit Points=1 · Added new nwnplayer.ini file setting to not display the hit points rolled on the level up summary gui (defaults to off). · Hide Hit Points Gained=0 · Added new nwnplayer.ini file setting to restore the remaining spell uses from the character file on log in to a "server vault" server. This option defaults to off. · Restore Spell Uses On Login=0 · Added new nwn.ini file setting to set how far into the distance grass should be rendered (default value 900.0, valid values range from 900.0 to 30000.0). Increasing this value will cause more grass to be rendered in outdoor grassy areas, but will also reduce game performance in these areas. · Grass Far Render Distance=900.0 · Added new nwnplayer.ini file setting to toggle on/off the file logging of creature deaths. · Death Logging=0 · Added new nwnplayer.ini file setting to reset the encounter level spawned by an encounter trigger every time that it spawns creatures. If this option is turned on, the encounter trigger will always spawn creatures based on the triggering player's level rather than potentially using left over spawned creature from an early triggering that was initiated by a much higher level player. · Always Reset Encounter Spawns=0 · Updated Get2DAString() scripting command 2da caching code to cache a number of 2das specified in an ini setting. · 2DA Cache Size=10 · Added new nwnplayer.ini file setting to log each script as it executes (defaults to off).

It should only be used for script debugging purposes (i.e. when you have a bad script that causes your module to lock up, checking the log file will let you know the last script that executed). · Enable Logging=1 · Added new nwnplayer.ini file setting to obtain script profiling data in the log file (defaults to off). Enabling this will degrade game performance. It should only be used to determine which scripts you need to optimize to improve the performance of your module. Note: "Enable Logging" should be turned off when profiling is enabled. · Enable Profiling=1 · Added new option to the nwtoolset.ini file to set the toolset CPU affinity on multi-core computers. If you have more than one CPU on your PC, then you can use this setting to make the toolset run on only one of the CPUs by specifying the number of the CPU (0-31). Setting "CPU Affinity=-1" will turn off CPU affinity (default 0). · "CPU Affinity". · The nwnplayer.ini setting for "Client CPU Affinity" now defaults to 0 (a setting of -1 will be converted to 0). If you need to disable this feature set the value to -2. · Feat Prerequisite changes (these may make some existing characters invalid in multiplayer games) · The Epic Dodge feat now requires 30 ranks of Tumble skill as a prerequisite, as per the description (feat.2da). · The "Dragon Shape" feat now requires Wild Shape 6x/day as per the description (feats.2da). · Fixed prerequisite for "Epic Weapon Focus Club" to be "Weapon Focus Club" rather than "Improved Critical Club" (feat.2da). · Weapon Specialization Club now requires four fighter levels to obtain (rather than one).
