[SOLVED] Unable to load a module under Ubuntu.

Japualtah

Ok, not giving up, so started from scratch thanks to Sherincall information (thx mate).
This is the step by step process I followed to install the linux server (success) and host a module (failure so far)

1° # Download NWN dedicated package
mkdir ~/nwn && cd ~/nwn
wget https://nwnx.io/nwnee-dedicated-8166.zip
unzip nwnee-dedicated-8166.zip -d .

# Run it once to create the user directory
cd bin/linux-x86 && ./nwserver-linux
# Link to user directory for easier access
ln -s ~/.local/share/Neverwinter\ Nights/ ~/nwn/userdir

2° Copy my testmod to the modules directory, you can see it's there with full permissions
thierry@AltheaServer:~/nwn/userdir/modules$ ls -l
total 20
-rwxrwxr-x 1 thierry thierry 20373 mai 15 16:39 testmod

3° Start the server
Neverwinter Nights Server
Build:8166
Copyright BioWare Corp 1998-2004
Registering crash signal handlers.

Server: Loading...
Working Directory For Game Install Is: /home/thierry/nwn
Working Directory For Your Resources Is: /home/thierry/.local/share/Neverwinter Nights
Server: Running...

Server: Loading module "testmod"
Server: Unable to load module

Just for information, here's my nwn.ini file
[Alias]
HD0=/home/thierry/.local/share/Neverwinter Nights
MODULES=/home/thierry/.local/share/Neverwinter Nights/modules
etc.

and the directories permissions:
thierry@AltheaServer:~/nwn/userdir$ ls -l

I hope this is more clear ;-)

Edit: module loaded.
No clue why, we've been working for hours without success, went to eat, showing my SO what a shit all of this is, firing the server, typing 'load module testmod' and got "module loaded".
Don't know why, will never know.

Don't know whether to be happy or disgruntled.

Ok, I know what happened, make sure to sit down before reading any further!

The module file has to be named "yourmod.mod" and launched with the parameter "-module yourmod" without the ".mod" suffix.
If you omit the ".mod" after your module name in the "modules" directory, the server will not launch it.

One day wasted on that, so goes life!

Hi, thanks for the help. I have encountered the same problem with official campaign modules. Do i need to rename those too?
The old Stand-alone linux server was looking also into nwm/.
This new version seems don't recognize this method.
