Product Description:

This application is designed to enable owners of Macintosh Neverwinter Nights to automatically update their software to the latest available version, directly from the BioWare FTP site. Clicking the 'update' button will go and check to see if any newer versions of the software are available, and will download and install them for you.

This application also includes support for the Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark expansion packs - it will install the expansion packs from the data contained on the Windows CDs, and it will also update them from the BioWare FTP servers.

What's new in this version:

V.99 RC4 is a fix for an install issue that was introduced into v.99.3 This should fix the issues with the install problems and HotU.
This release (0.99 RC4) is a minor compatibility update. It includes the fixes from v.99.3 along with a fixed handling of installing HotU seperate from SoU (should one not have SoU for some reason.) And a revised install process that handles the directory change on the BioWare servers as implemented in 1.62.
Of note is that v.1.62 of NWN for HotU does not include the NeverWinter module updates, so the installer now installs the nwclienthotu.tar.gz linux update on install to get a functioning HotU install on the Mac. This file is only installed durring the initial install as it is needed for compatibility and to get a base running version of HotU from the CD. (the HotU CD is 1.59 and does not have the updated module files for Linux on it).

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

Mac OS X 10.3
Mac OS X 10.2

Additional Requirements:

Macintosh OS X 10.2.6 or higher
NeverWinter Nights (HotU and SoU optional)

auto-install from Platinum CDs? - Version: 0.99.4, 11/15/2004 06:39PM PST

I got the Platinum set which has both SOU and HOTU, but AutoUpdater only detects SOU.

Wow - Version: 0.99.4, 5/25/2004 08:24AM PST

Totally cool. The best feature of all is the Wide-screen support!

I use a 17" 1.5Ghz Powerbook and let me tell you.. It looks BEAUTIFUL in 1440x1024. =)

Downloaded and installed all updates just fine after not having logged on/played for many months.

Also installed Windows expansion packs (SoU and HotU) without a problem (though it stated that "Installation Failed"). Version used 0.99.3. I'm guessing this may have been fixed with 0.99.4.

Extremely minor complaint: UI doesn't always update properly. I've noticed text fields overwriting strings instead of clearing their backgrounds first on occasion.

Keep up the great work!
