How to use nwserver command line?

The Neverwinter Nights dedicated server is driven by command-line options. This tool assembles them for Linux (nwserver-linux) or Windows (nwserver.exe); the options mirror nwserver's built-in help. Each option's default value is not officially documented: leave "—" to omit it.

  1. Choose Linux or Windows and enter the exact module name (placed in the modules folder).

  2. Set name, port (5121 is the usual one), slots, levels and passwords.

  3. Pick the rules (PvP, ELC, ILR, difficulty…) or leave "—" to keep the module's behaviour.

  4. Download the script, make it executable (chmod +x) and run it from the server's bin folder.
