Evidemment, il sont pas capables d'extraires les données du CD Windows alors il faudra se débrouiller autrement :(
Pour moi ca ne sera pas un problème, et je pense que pour ceux qui acheterons la version de tuxgames n'auront aucuns problemes eux aussi.
Pas de video ? rien a battre.
Les prochains expansion packs dispo aussi sous Linux ? Parfait !
En gros, une très bonne nouvelle s'ils avaient donné une data. :D |

This will be the central location for information about the Linux Client.
For those of you joining us late, the Linux client was not released with the Windows version. The Linux server was released shortly after the Windows version. As to why, the Mac and Linux versions of the game are being co-developed and our focus was on the Windows version for the June launch. Currently Linux version is in full development.
What we can't give you right now:
- an exact completion date
All we can estimate is that we expect the Linux Client to be available for download in Winter 2002 (December 21, 2002 - March 19, 2003).
What we can give you:
- Linux client screenshots
- an assurance that the Linux client will be released
- a web page for the Linux Client where all updates will take place
Current Status:
[Jan 17 2003] Lots of Linux Client bug fixing happened this week. Things are moving along smoothly and we just have a few more big things to work out before we can proceed to the next step. The significant news item this week is that we currently do not have a movie player for the Neverwinter Nights Linux Client. At this time, we do not want to delay the release of the Client for a movie player, so we will continue to look for a solution after release.
As promised, here are the answers to a number of questions about the current and future status of the Neverwinter Nights Linux Client.
Neverwinter Nights Linux Client Public Beta:
There will be a Public Beta of the Neverwinter Nights Linux Client, but it will have the same restrictions as the Neverwinter Nights Linux Client Installation. You will need both the game resources and a CD-Key.
Neverwinter Nights Linux Client Installation:
There are 2 things you will need for the Neverwinter Nights Linux Client, aside from the Linux Client executable:
- the game resources
- a CD-Key
You will need to get the Neverwinter Nights game resouces from one of two locations. You can either get them from an existing Windows installation of the English 1.27 build of Neverwinter Nights, or from a Neverwinter Nights Linux Game Resource download that will be available from several mirror sites. Either way, instructions will be provided with the downloads. Why must it be this way, you ask? It is because there is no feasable way to get the game resources from the InstallShield cabinet files on the Windows version CDs.
You will have to purchase a copy of the game to get a valid Neverwinter Nights CD-Key. Of course, with this purchase you also get a lovely Neverwinter Nights mapkin, a spiral-bound game manual, and three plastic-coated aluminum-reinforced W1nd0z3 brand coasters.
Neverwinter Nights Linux Client Update and Beta Release Timing:
Neverwinter Nights Linux Client Updates and Betas will be released at the same time as the Window version Updates and Betas, barring any unforseen Ninja attacks.
Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide & XP2 - Linux Client:
Since the executable for Neverwinter Nights will be the same, with or without any expansions installed, we plan to release Linux Client versions of both Shadows of Undrentide and XP2 for download at the time of their shelf date. We have not resolved the game resource installation issue for Linux at this time. We will know more closer to the release date of Shadows of Undrentide.
