Dedicated Server

[Psychomancer]

Is is possible to run a dedicated headless server on linux for NWN?

[Tesseract]

Yes, the executable in the game files is called "nwserver-linux".

Nice! but could that be used with an anon steam CLI login on a headless ubuntu box? or would it require a full desktop gui to setup and config including steam login....

These packages, contrary to being hosted by NWNX, do not contain NWNX:EE. If you need nwnx:ee (Linux only), get it here: https://github.com/nwnxee/unified/releases

If you wish to run a nwn:ee dedicated server with nwnx:ee on Windows, you can do so via Docker (or use Docker in Linux as well): https://nwnxee.github.io/unified/#autotoc_md172

see http://neverwinternights.info/dedicatedserver.htm for the command line options. They are the same for NWN v1.69 and NWN:EE

NWN:EE is DRM-Free and can be started without Steam. You will *not* need a CD-Key to run a dedicated server (you will however need a valid CD-Key if you want to log into it).

Also, you will need a dedicated IPv4 address with proper port forwarding to host a dedicated server. There is no IPv6 support.

Fantastic!! I'll post back once I confirm this works :)

Did it work? Also, did you need an additional copy with a separate key code to get it to work?

Running a dedicated server does not require an additional CD-Key.
