If the game is installed with movie support (NWMovies), there is a way
to skip various movies, especially the five introduction movies at the
start of the game: create a skip file (${HOME}/.nwn/nwmovies.skip) and
list the movies (case-insensitive, no extension) you wish to skip. The
following are the introduction movies, at least in the Diamond edition:
AtariLogo
BiowareLogo
WotcLogo
fge_logo_black
NWNIntro
Although there is mention of skipping movies by adding options to the
${HOME}/.nwn/nwn.ini) file under [Display Options], these do not work.
There is a known issue due to the use of NWMovies. As written in
the NWMovies README file:
The main menu music does not work after starting NWN w/ NWMovies.
Entering the game, and backing out to the main menu, the music
works. Known issue, no known cause, nor resolution.
NWN may show a black screen when at the resolution of the monitor if
it uses xrandr. This is possibly only present with multiple monitors
under Zaphod mode. Set SDL_VIDEO_X11_XRANDR=0 in the environment
prior to running nwn to work around this.
If the resolution is higher than what the actual monitor provides,
SDL12COMPAT_MAX_VIDMODE can be set in the environment to fix it. For
example, SDL12COMPAT_MAX_VIDMODE=1920x1080 for 1920x1080 maximum
resolution.
If the game window appears shifted upwards a few pixels, disabling
decoration of the window should fix it. Also, to remove a possible
flicker upon start, raise the layer for the window. For example with
Fluxbox, add the following to ${HOME}/.fluxbox/apps:
[app] (class=nwmain)
[Deco] {NONE}
[Layer] {2}
[end]
