What a cool game :-) Unfortunately, the install program doesn’t seem to be very reliable… I don’t think it’s setting the file date stamps correctly, which caused me problems when I tried to upgrade to version 1.31 using the patch MacSoft just released.

If only MacSoft had followed Apple’s guidelines and made it a drag-n-drop installation. Still, never mind. If you’re having the same problem with the 1.31 patch that I was, then go to the terminal and enter

cd /Applications/Neverwinter\ Nights
touch -d "May 8 2003" dialog.tlk
touch -d "Feb 7 2003" patch.key
touch -d "Feb 7 2003" data/patch.bif

then run the update installer. In my case, it thought it had finished after updating just patch.bif; if this happens to you, just run it again (or click “Continue”). If all goes well, it should have updated the files listed here. The dates on the dialog.tlk and patch.key files were still wrong when I’d finished, but it seems to have updated them.

Just in case you want to check, here are the MD5 sums of the files I have after installing the patch:

md5 -r dialog.tlk patch.key data/patch.bif nwm/Chapter[1-4]* nwm/Prelude.nwm Dedicated\ Server.app/Contents/MacOS/Dedicated\ Server Neverwinter\ Nights.app/Contents/MacOS/Neverwinter\ Nights

at a Terminal prompt.
