Neverwinter Nights - Problems
I just recently bought Neverwinter Nights at Best Buy earlier for $19.99 and started installing it. Once I got it to install I installed the patches and languages. Once that was done I entered the game. For some ODD reason when I pick the mode to create my character I get this message:
Could not load the Module
Could not unpack the module.
Can someone Please help me out with this problem?
What luck I have with games in Linux.
Thank you.

When you installed NWN, did you run fixinstall after you have all of the files installed? The other problem is that it could be a permission problem. NWN seems to think it is on a Windows machine and stores all of its information in the folder you installed it to instead of your home directory like most other games. I have chowned all of the files to be for my normal user on my machine. See if that works out for you.

I also installed NWN as my user since the 'root' install didn't work too well
How did you install? Did you use Ravage's installer?

I installed the game using Ravage's installer (I like the wallpaper).
This is what I get when I run ./fixinstall:
PHP Code:
linux:/usr/local/games/nwn # ./fixinstall

You are ready to run Neverwinter Nights.
The problem of loading the module still appears. What should I do?
-
Is /usr/local/games/nwn read/writtable to users? NWN does not support multi user environments (it doesn't make a ~/.nwn and runs everything from the install)

No. Ownership is to User: root & Group: root.

change that
chown -R users /usr/local/games/nwn
chgrp -R usergroup /usr/local/games/nwn
Or even easier, re-install with the installer as your user

When I do chown -R users /usr/local/games/nwn I get invalid 'users'. Same applies for chgrp.
How should I re-install the game? Sudo or Regular?

You don't use the string 'users', you should substitute your actual username (also substitute your primary group for 'usergroup').
Don't install using sudo -- you'll install it as root again, which doesn't work. If chown'ing doesn't fix it, then give your user write permission to /usr/local/games (so that your user can create the nwn subdirectory), then run it as your user without su or sudo or anything like that. Then remove the write permission on /usr/local/games.
Or, you could install it inside your home directory so you don't have to mess with permissions inside /usr/local, I think.

I've installed it in my home directory first and then moved it to /usr/local/games. It works now.
Thanks a lot guys for your help.
Oh if you see someone with the name Jehuty_Lnx that's me.
