@PoDE : that UI is amazing - the ultimate playtester, i guess.

@Bs : don't forget you have to *hold down* right-click for 'a second' for the menu to drop (i think shift-rightclick makes it drop instantly). I don't have a Mac, but the timing should be adjustable in Options. you'll get BASH when right clicking on a chest ..

I had had problems playing on a Mac Mini due to driver issues that were likely caused by the last Bootcamp update. This thread has information on how to update the nVidia drivers on a Mac Mini even though the standard nVidia update scripts won't work on the Mac Mini.

Hello,

Does anyone have a good list of Add-Ons and/or Haks that work on a Mac install of the OC, with or without MothB/SoZ installed (such as listed here: http://social.biowar...2/index/3173142)? I have all 3 campaigns working on my Mac, but I'm now interested in mods, but don't want to screw up a working installation with stuff only really capable of working on the Windows version.

Thanks,

Steve

Both my OC Makeover and MotB Makover should work on the Mac. The next version of my King's Festival campaign (hopefully releasing sometime this month) will also be fully Mac compatible.

Since there is no Mac version of the toolset the things you would need to avoid are things that require you recompile scripts or edit the campaign.cam file. You can safely edit 2da files with textedit, so that does not require the toolset. Most stand-alone campaigns should be compatible.

I have two questions about the MAC version. First, is it cross compatible with the PC version? My friends and I want to play, they have Macs and I have a PC and I'm concerned that we won't be able to play with eachother, similiar to Civ V. Second, where can I buy a copy of NWN 2 Platinum for a Mac? Thanks in advanced.

I believe it is as long as you and your friends are all patched to 1.23 and you have the same expansions installed.

You can't because there isn't one. The MotB and SoZ expansions were never released for the Mac. You have to buy the Windows versions and either run them under Bootcamp or go through some effort to get them running on Mac OS X.  Due to the lack of a Mac specific Bioware SocialNetwork forum, I started one here for Mac users.

@Kaldor: thanks for the info.

@King Japhar: I've had good luck installing the Windows versions on NWN2 and expansions under Wineskin on the Mac.

[Steve Barracuda]

I've been trying to eit my Hots file on Mac OS 10.6 o bypass the Authorization Server, but it doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know if NWN2 uses a special Hosts file in the installation files that I can edit? With the Authorization Server down, it really annoys logging in and out of a PW.

[Kaldor Silverwand]

Have you tried editing the /etc/hosts file and adding in a 127.0.0.1 entry for nwmaster.bioware.com? The instructions I found online are:

... edit your hosts file found in Windows\\System32\\drivers\\etc folder (on Mac this is the /etc/hosts file). Add these lines to stop the game contacting the master server.

0.0.0.0 nw2master.bioware.com
0.0.0.0 nwn2.master.gamespy.com
0.0.0.0 peerchat.gamespy.com
0.0.0.0 nwmaster.bioware.com127.0.0.1

Haven't seen the need to try it myself since the delay is pretty brief.

If you are running NWN2 using Wineskin though then it may not be the Mac /etc/hosts file that is being used. Check with the Wineskin folks.

Been testing out NWN2 on Mac OS X Lion and haven't had any problems.

One thing to note though is that because Lion creates a recovery partition Parallels requires a simple work-around to get working after the Lion install. Also the Bootcamp installer no longer supports Windows XP or Vista. So if you want to set up a Bootcamp partition to run the NWN2 Toolset you will either need to use Windows 7 or just exit the installer when it asks for a Windows CD and boot off of the Windows XP CD to install XP on the partition manually. It works.

I hope somebody is watching these posts! After playing for years, I suddenly have a new problem. The dialog box slipped down and now covers the top of the quickbar. It's a pain as I have to keep clicking the quickbar to get it out from underneath. I tried pulling it up, but it won't budge. Any suggestions? I'm going to put this in another thread if I find one just in case...

Thanks,

Karen

In the Aspyr/Neverwinter Nights 2/ui/default/ folder there is a file guisettings.ini. The first section in my file looks like this:
[messageboxreport]
xpos-1024=689
ypos-768=114

Maybe you can change the ypos-768 setting in your file to move the dialog box back up to where it was. Strange that you cannot drag it by its edge though.

Regards

[Frosty44]

Thanks Kaldor! Mine says the same thing. Which one do I change and to what?

I have no idea how it happened - it's really weird!

[Kaldor Silverwand]

If your default values are the same then the actual location of the window must be being saved somewhere else. Maybe in the save files. But that I do not know.

Have you tried changing your screen resolution?

And, just to make sure, you have tried both dragging the message box from its upper edge and its lower edge, right? Because I think there is a minimum message box height setting, so if it is already at the minimum dragging up on the lower edge won't work, but dragging up on the upper edge should. If you can drag up on the upper edge, then you should afterward be able to drag up on the lower edge.

Regards

[Frosty44]

Thanks again! I'll give it a try - I never thought of pulling the top of the box up like that. I did try changing the ypos-768 setting but it didn't help - maybe I didn't change it enough.

[Frosty44]

Kaldor, thank you so much - it worked! I pulled the box up all the way and then was able to pull it up from the bottom.

Thanks again!

Can anybody give me a link to a no cd hack for mac 1.23? My disk is has seen a lot of wear lol and is getting scratched. I'm also looking for a level limit remover for MOW - I heard there was one but only found a pc version.

Thanks!

[Ranger Solo]

Hi Frosty!!

FOR MoW there is only the PC version. However, it can be used. You just need to unzip it and then move (place) the files in their correct location. As for the noCD patch issue for the Mac. As far as I know. There isn't one. For the PC yes but none for the Mac.

Thanks Ranger Solo!

I am having a strange problem. I am running the fully patched version from the App store + both expansions. My dialog window shows up in a place I dislike. I try moving it but whenever I enter a new area the window goes back to the default location. Is this normal? Having played in windows, once I moved the dialog window the or any other part of the UI would stay to where placed. In the MAC version they constantly move back to the default location.

I've tested this on my system and have the same issue, so it looks like a bug. Maybe changing the values in the guisettings.ini file by hand will allow you to relocate it. That file should be in ~/Library/Application Support/Neverwinter Nights 2/ui/default.  The message dialog settings (for 1024x768) look like this:
[messageboxreport]
xpos-1024=
ypos-768=

[cliff_g]

hmm can't seem to find that file in the App store version

[cliff_g]

I have discovered this can be moved by editing the x and y position of default chat.xml

If you want to buy the current MacUpdate promo bundle (https://www.mupromo.com/) (NWN 2, Tech Tool Pro 6, and several shareware programs), as I just did, you will get a version of NWN 2 that does not need the CD. (Since you need to download the software (4 GB for NWN 2, 1 GB for TTP and/or about 150 MB, IIRC, for the shareware. The three aforementioned can be downloaded separately.) You will have to pay $50, but it might be worth it to you, especially if you want TTP (itself normally $100) or some of the shareware. The bundle is a huge discount off the software individually. Anyway, that is an option.
