CFT: games/nwndata and games/linux-nwnclient ports
in [Ports]
|
From: "Sean C. Farley" on 10 Apr 2010 19:04 I have found a bit of time to update the games/nwndata and games/linux-nwnclient ports to more recent versions along with Diamond support. The list of changes--I think I listed them all--for each port is as follows: games/nwndata (versions are original 1.29_3 and Diamond 1.61): - Install from the data files directly from the Diamond DVD, if provided. A Diamond install includes the Shadows of Undrentide, Hordes of the Underdark and Kingmaker expansions. The port version is 1.61 when using the Diamond DVD. games/linux-nwnclient: - Update client to v1.69 which is the final release from BioWare. - Remove ARCH requirement for i386; let the install of the Linux base determine if the port is allowed or not. - Detect if the original or Diamond game files were installed in games/nwndata to install the appropriate client. - Add an option to install the NWMovies/BinkPlayer patch to play in-game movies for the Diamond client. This includes a rewritten script (from Perl to shell) to remove the need for Linux Perl to run it. The script includes a method to skip movies, especially the intro movies, as noted in pkg-message. Default to off. - In the nwn script, remove dead links in and rebuild ${HOME}/.nwn. This allows moving between the original and Diamond editions without confusing (resulting in segmentation faults) the client. - Set SDL_AUDIODRIVER to dsp by default to remove warnings from SDL concerning audio setup. - Disallow core files as these are commonly seen when the game exits. Fortunately, the segmentation fault does not affect play nor the configuration files. I do realize there are other editions of the game, but I lack copies of them as well as time to test them even if I did. I am sorry about that. It is fortunate that archivers/p7zip exists else an install of wine would be required to extract the Kingmaker expansion pack. If something in base can also do it, please let me know.
