Title: Beez is here!
Post by: Beez on April 13, 2008, 09:07:35 pm
Hi all.
I'm Beez.
I have an important question:

Whenever I attempt to download the .rar files that are needed to play the game, it just downloads as a .php
How can I make it so they download as the .rar files that they are supposed to be?

Are you using a Mac or a PC?  That might help us help you  :)

Actually, it makes no difference, Shiff.

Beez, what you're probably doing is right-clicking on the provided links and selecting "save as".  Just click on the link.  Because the site is dynamically loaded, it takes you to a php page which fetches the file.  When it prompts you for what to do with the file, that is when you save it as appropriate for your system.

hehe, hang on, are you left handed?  Some people who are left handed have the normal click as the right click, and the options/menu button as the left click

Post by: Beez on April 13, 2008, 11:24:58 pm

What -exactly- happens when you try to download the files?
Does a box pop up giving you the option to save the file or open it directly?
And if that box does pop up, does the file name that it displays have the .rar or .php ending?

Also, have you changed the default settings to change what happens when you click on links?

i have free download manager, so that pops up and asks where i want to put it
in free download manager, it says the name of the item i am downloading, and it always ends with a .php on those links
Title: Re: Beez is here!
Post by: darkstorme on April 14, 2008, 12:00:16 am
Ohhh.  You may wish to disable that, then.  Download managers sometimes don't look beyond the first file (the PHP) to find the second.

My compatriots have it; DownThemAll  (http://www.downthemall.net/)works fine with this sort of link (as it's one of the context radials on the standard download pop-up for Firefox), but many other download managers won't.

Title: Re: Beez is here!
Post by: ShiffDrgnhrt on April 14, 2008, 04:22:24 pm
NWN the Original but you need the Expansion Packs
Title: Re: Beez is here!

Title: Re: Beez is here!
Post by: ShiffDrgnhrt on April 14, 2008, 04:25:36 pm
That works, its what I got.  I comes with the Expansions.  Just make sure you updated it to version 1.68

another question
dont know where to put this, so im putting it here

when i try to play the game, all i get is a black screen and the mouse image that is supposed to show up
i get the black screen right after i start up the game, in the area where you can click play and exit and all that
could you tell me how to fix that?

From the downloads section:

Quote
You need this file along with the All In One (or everything below if you downloaded the haks separately). Extract the archive using a program like WinRar (http://www.win-rar.com/) and place the file into your Neverwinter Nights\\tlk folder. If this folder does not exist, create it.

So yeah, just create the folder...

Can you give us a complete system breakdown?  Graphics card, processor, OS type, etc?  That can help - otherwise, it's difficult to tell you what the problem is.

Also, the BioBoards (http://nwn.bioware.com) are usually a good place to look for NWN-related issues.
