Currently the NWN Linux Client supports English, German, French, Italian, and Spanish.
Important Notes Before You Begin
There are 2 things you will need in order to use Neverwinter Nights Linux Client, aside from downloading the Linux Client binaries:
The game resources
A CD-Key
1. Game Resources: You will need to get the Neverwinter Nights game resouces from one of two locations:
from an existing Windows installation of the 1.29 build of Neverwinter Nights (instructions below)
OR
from a mirror site hosting the Neverwinter Nights v1.29 Linux Client resources (instructions below)
2. CD-Key: You will have to purchase a copy of the game to get a valid Neverwinter Nights CD-Key. Of course, with this purchase you also get a lovely Neverwinter Nights mapkin, a spiral-bound game manual, and three plastic-coated aluminum-reinforced W1nd0z3 brand coasters.
Installing Using Downloaded Linux Client Resources
1. Download and extract the contents of "nwresources129.tar.gz". This file is available for download from these mirror site(s):
Fileshack
2. You need to be logged in to download the Linux Client binaries.
If you do not have an account, sign up for an account now! It's free and allows you greater access to all the BioWare sites.
3. Extract the contents of Linux Client binaries (nwclient129.tar.gz).
4. Play the Game. To run Neverwinter Nights, run ./nwn or ./dmclient from your install directory to run the player client or DM client respectively.
SDL Libraries
The Neverwinter Nights client uses the Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) library, see readme-SDL.txt for more details. You can download the SDL files for the Neverwinter Nights Linux Client below:
SDL Binaries (rpm , 176 KB)
SDL Source (tar.gz, 1.76 MB) |

You've got to patch the windows install to a certain level (v1.62 or something IIRC) then you can install the linux binaries.
Its not a small download, but if you have broadband you shouldn't have a problem.

lol an hour for 1.2gb. I wish I could get that sort of speed.
an ISO takes me like a week.
You don't need to download the game resources. Not if you have the CD or a windows installation accessible. You can just pull them.
The download for me was like 80mb or something.
