Description Alexander Jenisch 2004-08-27 17:24:50 UTC
the gold edition of never winter nights does not seem to need any special extra programs to be installed, but has some zip files, which need to be unpacked. one could use those instead of downloading the whole stuff or copying an windows installation over.
Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2004-12-30 01:45:25 UTC
so what you're saying is that the Gold edition basically has the huge nwresources129.tar.gz tarball on it in a bunch of zip files

please attach the output of 'tree <gold disk>' ... we need to know the layout of the dvd in order to support it via the cdrom_get_cds() interface
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2004-12-30 01:46:31 UTC
erm, the provided URL seems to have all the info we need
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2004-12-30 01:51:52 UTC
what is this 'nwclientgold.tar.gz' the page talks about ?  is it a drop in replacement for regular nwclient, or is it an addon tarball ?

Directory listing 4 CDs + release tarball

NWN Gold is a 4 CD set containing the original and SoU.

Attached is a find of each disc and the nwclientgold.tar.gz.  The client inside is v1.32.7054 for comparison to the standard install client.

This is the North American Gold release. I believe the European is different (bundled discs/packages instead of new release media?)

Sorry, I did try hard to find the dup, put i was looking for the name of the package that broke, namely games-rpg/nwn-data  which this bug no surprisingly didn't mention. It doesn't even mention games-rpg/nwn , so I hope that by my listing it here it will help others search for it :)

Just for the record of anybody else browsing this, I posted a lot of info on Bug 178859, CD Toc's, INI dumps, Zip Toc's, just incase my ( australian/new zealand ) version of Gold is different to others, or you need to know which zip files to use ( as by the look of it, other editions of the CDs use zip files too ).

Another Question: If I have the 4 CD Gold set and the /seperate/ HoU disk, then how do i use this?, do we need to have flags to indicate which  combinations of disks we have?
Comment 9 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-08-18 00:52:47 UTC
reopen...
Comment 10 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-08-18 01:13:15 UTC
