force NWNSync to reload the server content?
« on: December 09, 2021, 08:25:36 AM »
I’m having issues on Linux (ubuntu) with NWN running in steam.   NWN crashes when trying to enter Dvergheim.   Since I can log in on my iPad and enter with no issue, and the PC version does not crash if I exit Dvergheim with my iPad and then relog from PC outside Dvergheim. I think the easiest might be to reload the server resources on the PC.  Not sure how to force that to happen.   

Oddly enough, I had been to Dvergheim before and no issues.

Any advice?

You could try deleting all the sqlite3 files in your nwsync folder. (I would, however, copy them to a backup folder first.)

It's more likely that the problem is either:

1) Your display settings need to be turned down.

2) Or you might have a slightly old version of the main game and need to update it through beamdog or steam.

I have redone the NWNSYnc, but not yet tried to go back to Dvergheim.   I’ll report when I do.

As a fellow tux user, I'll cut it down to the point.

You won't be able to load into Dvergheim running the game natively, your only hope if you need to go there/pass through there (which is not necessary unless you're a dwarf) is to use Proton

The problem is related with some texture meshes having names longer then 64 characters and the only way to fix it would be to adjust the files on the server side, which is sadly an Herculean task.

Yeah, last time I could go to Dvergheim on linux was when it had a different tileset.

OK, thank you.   I suppose I can switch to iPad anytime I need to pass through.   Maybe the last time I went I was playing on the iPad then …

You could easily run it through proton without much problems, although I would just use it for getting in and out of dvergheim when it's needed

No promise here, but I flagged this in our last dev meeting and moved it to the bug section as their might be something we can do to fix that on our side, but I can't give you any ETA or anything more than we'll attempt to fix it for now.

I noticed the comment  in the latest test hak updates for fixing dwarf city bugs for Linux, so I loaded it up and went to the test server.   It still crashes when I try to enter Dvergheim

Can you collect some sort of crash dump and share that?

Even though I still had some issues on the test server, I heard that it was working for others.  Now that the latest has been published to the RP server, I can get into Dvergheim while running Linux!  yay!
