Neverwinter Nights™ Kingmaker SetupUnfortunately, the premium modules are only available as a Windows installer on the Diamond DVD, so we must use Wine to run it. A registry patch is required to tell the installer where NWN is installed. The installer is linked (or copied) to the NWN directory so it won't try to install the Windows patch which would break the Linux installation of NWN.
1. Install
Wine.
Code:
[color=#FFFF00]sudo apt-get install wine[/color]
2. If present, remove (or rename) wine configuration directory.
Code:
[color=#FFFF00]rm -fr ~/.wine[/color]
3. Run winecfg then cancel, to create configuration directory.
Code:
[color=#FFFF00][b]winecfg[/b][/color]
4. Link drive letter to nwn directory (must be current working directory).
Code:
[color=#FFFF00]ln -s $PWD $HOME/.wine/dosdevices/n?:[/color]
5. Create registry patch.
Code:
[color=#FFFF00]cat nwn.reg nwn.reg[/color]
[color=#FFFF00][b][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE?Software?BioWare?NWN?Neverwinter][/b][/color]
[color=#FFFF00][b]"Location"="n:
"[/b][/color]
[color=#FFFF00][b]EOF[/b][/color]
6. Apply registry patch.
Code:
[color=#FFFF00]regedit nwn.reg[/color]
7. Link (or copy) KingmakerSetup.exe to nwn directory.
Code:
[color=#FFFF00]ln -s /media/cdrom/KingmakerSetup.exe [/color]
8. Run KingmakerSetup.exe to install the Premium Modules.
Code:
[color=#FFFF00]wine KingmakerSetup.exe[/color]
9. Remove obsolete files.
Code:
[color=#FFFF00]rm -f KingmakerSetup.exe nwn.reg 'premium/uninst Neverwinter Nights(TM) Kingmaker.exe'[/color]
