I have tried installing the NWN Linux server V1.29. The install went
fine, the fixinstall ran perfect, but I can't get any modules loaded!
HELP! I tried chaning all the modules to lowercase letters only. I
have two modules that don't have spaces or caps and neither will load.

I am incredibly frustrated with this. Could it have something to do
with Bioware's site being down right now?

Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

I also have trouble however getting it to load any module with a space
in the name, and if you mistype a module name, it will always tell you
that it can't load after that, and you must restart the server.
I haven't installed the Linux server yet (hopefully next week), but this is
a bit of general advice.
You should be able to rename the module using an "_" in place of the space.
Linux should have no problem there (I have a script that does this for my
OGG and MP3 files for the same reasons).
The other alternative, if you can specify the module name from the command
line is simply quote it. I have no idea what the name of the binary is, or
./nwserver "The Super-7331 module"
should do it.
If you have any probs, or linux questions, feel free to shoot me an email.

Hello,
I have installed standalone NWN server on Linux.
I did everything what they ordered in readme.linuxserver.txt
I had run fixinstall and there was no problem.
But now, when i try to load a module (from nwn or modules subdirectory) I
get "Unable to load module" error.
Required files were transfered from Win installation of NWN to Linux
directory by smbclient, which (according to the man) transfers everyting in
binary mode...
i have no idea, what else I could do.
Please, help.
Marcin
It was a classic case of having autoselect file type on the upload and
the files being transferred as ASCII instead of Binary. OOpps.
