    Add -dmc to the end of a shortcut of nwmain.exe outside the " "

    Lose the quotation marks in the Target prompt. It should just be "D:\Games\Beamdog\00000\bin\win32\nwmain.exe -dmc" as an example with no quotations.

    Hey Zandelar. There should be a space after " and before -dmc.

    Hope that helps. :)

    How do you do this on a Mac?

    If you have Steam, one thing you cooooooould try is adding NwN:EE to Steam as a Non-Steam game and adding the " -dmc" in the target field properties there like this;





    I mean it's a shot in the dark and a temp fix until someone can specify.

    Hmm.. don't have Steam. Yeah, I know nothing about Macs really, asking for a friend.

    Well they can set up a temp account or something just to see if it works. If they want to that is. I'm in the same boat though, I have noooo idea how Macs work. xD

    Yeah, this is not ideal.

    We're going to add a button to Beamdog Client very soon that will allow you to launch the DMC. Until then, you can launch it on the Terminal: 
    $ open /Applications/Games/Beamdog\ Library/00829/bin/macos/nwmain.app --args -dmc
    (Adjust path to fit your install - try "Open Game Location" in BDC.)

    A small shell script could be written, made executable, and and aliased to the Desktop for convenience.

    Excellent, thank you.

    So I did the -dmc addition to the shortcut target (windows 10 computer). The DM client opens, and I get to the point where I can start to create a DM avatar, but then when hitting the play button, it doesn't create it. Any thoughts on that?

    Never mind. My nwn.ini file was trying to direct to a non-existent folder.

    On the Mac, if you're familiar with Automator at all, you can create a one-step Automator app that will launch just like a standalone DM client app. See this screenshot: https://d.pr/i/OArYjw

    This is the shell script you see in that screenshot:
    open /Users/evan/Beamdog\ Library/00785/bin/macos/nwmain.app --args -dmc

    (You will need to change the path, as the path above has my Mac's user name in it)

    Just save the Automator action as an app, and you can even give it a NWN icon and place it in your Applications folder. I keep it there, and named it "NWN DM." Double clicking it launches the DM client.

    Is there any plan to actually add DM button as in 1.69? And not from their launcher, but when you start the game exe file?
  • LeonidaspoaLeonidaspoa Member Posts: 5
    I downloaded NwN:EE from Beamdog and into C\owner\beamdog library. In Bin\win32 there is no nwmain.exe. Where else would I find it?

    Thanks for raising this. Given the other recent multiplayer-related modifications to the launcher, one hopes restoring the DM client as a launcher option is considered doable.
