@JinksonFox: What are you talking about? Using the gog:// protocol in the source array is the proper way to do it. It has zero disadvantages compared to using no protocol at all. With no protocol, you would *have* to manually copy the source files into the PKGBUILD directory, and with the protocol you can still do that. But what you can *also* do now, is to define a custom DLAGENT in /etc/makepkg.conf. You could define a dlagent that uses lgogdownloader for such URLs, but personally I prefer to use the following dlagent for hib:// and gog:// URLs which finds the files in my ~/download folder and subdirectories thereof: http://pastebin.com/raw/Brz8THUG

cybrid: I also attempted to try to see if I could do anything with the gog:// URIs to no avail. What I eventually ended up doing was using lgogdownloader just to download the neverwinter_nights_diamond_edition folder to my system, I put a quick and dirty HTTP server up (nginx), and then I moved that folder into the HTTP directory, modified the PKGBUILD to point to the local http sources, and then it got me on my way. I ran a makepkg on that modified PKGBUILD and installed with sudo pacman -U. Whoever decided to use the gog:// URI for source files created a world of headache for anyone attempting to use this package. Luckily, it's still less of a headache than trying to set up NWN for native linux without something like this.

I've been trying to install this via yaourt. I'm getting the following error: ==> Building and installing package ==> Making package: nwn-gog 2.0.0.15-4 (Fri Jun 17 19:42:26 CDT 2016) ==> Checking runtime dependencies... ==> Checking buildtime dependencies... ==> Retrieving sources... ==> ERROR: Unknown download protocol: gog Aborting... ==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build nwn-gog. ==> Restart building nwn-gog ? [y/N] I have installed lgogdownloader, but this doesn't seem to have helped.

Hi, thanks you very much for this work! I have ported your package to Nix package manager: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/10981. Some improvements you may want to take back: 1. https://github.com/abbradar/nixpkgs/commit/4280ca3c306d4db5b9ca3a0347c162887db764c4#diff-45aff6716b2938a16657fb52cbb27449R12 (-m option to avoid extracting tmp/) 2. https://github.com/abbradar/nixpkgs/commit/4280ca3c306d4db5b9ca3a0347c162887db764c4#diff-45aff6716b2938a16657fb52cbb27449R74 (bigger list of things to remove) 3. https://github.com/abbradar/nixpkgs/commit/4280ca3c306d4db5b9ca3a0347c162887db764c4#diff-b184132934e6bdd2abad00398ba25aabR20 (video scaling by default, overridable)
