Hi, I tried to install nwn and nwn-data-1.29-r4 from the 3in1 DVD. Trying to fix the install as explained at the end of the nwn emerge by running the _fixinstall_ script failed. Once this problem solved, trying to run the game fails with segfault, because a lot of files were not copied from the dvd. There is also some minor problems, I will detail these errors and attach a patch. First, running /opt/nwn/fixinstall at the end of games-rpg/nwn emerge fails like following : > # /opt/nwn/fixinstall > Checking for required files > > PASSED: ambient directory exists > PASSED: data directory exists > FAILED: music directory missing We must also copy the music/ folder from the cab archive on the dvd. Second, nwn is crashing with segfault, because it misses a lot of data/*.bif files. Instead of copying the data/xp*.bif files, we should copy the entire data/ folder. Third, from the ambient/ folder you're copying all the *.wav files : > mv -f App_Executables/ambient/*.wav ambient/ But, listing the cab archive on the DVD shows that there's also some *.WAV files. They will probably miss during the game. So we should also copy the entire ambient/ folder. Note that these *.WAV files will be renamed to *.wav at the end of the src_install phase by the for loop. Finally, near the end of the src_unpack() function, you do this : > # These files aren't needed and come from the patches (games-rpg/nwn) > rm -f data/patch.bif patch.key But in the installation guide from the bioware forums (see URL) we can read : > 5. With Both Expansion Packs (or NWN Gold with HotU installed) > > You should also make sure there are no obsolete Original NWN or > SoU patch files present by running this command: > > user @ host nwn $ rm -f patch.key xp1patch.key data/patch.bif data/xp1patch.bif I think you should add : > rm -f data/xp1patch.bif xp1patch.key I will attach the patch, and the list of files in the cab archive from the DVD. Thanks. Reproducible: Always
