	I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

I don't get how they do it, given the technical limitations. They do it with kludged together bits of code and lots of inventivity.. The Aurora toolset was a very powerful coding environment and with the right commands you could dump lots of stuff in text files... Now on Linux you can dump text into any file including stuff like named pipes, or another process... And if the text file you dump is carefully built, through Aurora code use, SQL transactions towards a MySQL instance you now have a way to make some MMO-Lite experience into NWN.

Is this your polite way of telling me there's an actual use for non-Windows PCs?

Well you can do it with Windows, but it's even more kludgy and compared to Linux it requires lots of knownledge in Windows Admin, and at that time it needed a W2K Server or Advanced Server to safely run wthout any crash... and W2K Server was not widespread and had a hefty cost. And honestly, when NWN1 was released 20+ years ago we Windows 2000 was barely there, most people were still with W95 or W98 and you couldn't really expect those to stay up, under load, for weeks without a crash to DOS. Now with a modern Windows Server, I'm sure you can use ether WSL or Powershell scripts and do what was done in Linux at that time. Edit : now consider that before Obsidian crapped on NWN with NWN2 and all the failed promises, I was preparing an infrastructure at home based on a PC ( Linux ) to run the World and a Sparc Server 20 for the database. ( Solaris 8, Sybase ). Obviously, without builtin database hookups and without a Linux Standalone server it never went beyond the stage of hoarding the hardware.
