Howdie folks,
I have just reinstalled my good old NWN games (NOT through AUR, that proved a major pain and didn't work, so good oldfashioned way: Copy loads of stuff from the disk...) and it works like a charm, maximum graphics settings and all
BUT: No movies. Now, I read up on that and just can't work it out. I have binkplayer already installed (from back when I tried the AUR package) and if I call a movie outside the game with binkplayer it plays just fine. But NWN itself won't, it just skipps right through them which I can tell by the brief change of desktop size.
Now, I checked nwmovies.log and this looks to me as if nwmovies is trying to use mplayer instead of the bink movies, which seems odd.

Binkplayer is there, right in the nwn folder. Any ideas?

I remember getting it to work, but that was more than a year back, so no useful information to add. As I recall the script does some checking to figure out what to run, you may want to play with the script itself (the movie one).

I am not great at tweaking scripts, but this one seems to try and play it easy for me. There is this part here:
# Simple way to disable a specific movie player.
# Uncomment the player you want to disable.
$mplayer = "";
$plaympeg = "";
# $binkplayer = "";
and as you can see I took the liberty to uncomment everything BUT bink, and now it does not find ANY player:
./nwmovies.pl AtariLogo >> nwmovies.log 2>&1

ERROR: No movie player located, not playing anything.
I DO now have the "Movies" button in the game, so that could be considered one step in the right direction, but it does not necessarily make me happy...
binkplayer is in /usr/bin and I symlinked it the games directory... DOH! Nevermind. nwmovies.pl is looking for "./BinkPlayer" where binkplayer is named "./binkplayer" by default. That's it, solved. Thanks!
