Be mindful that this is a very old 32-bit application. Documentation and support is limited.
[!IMPORTANT] Due to a bug in the current Pterodactyl Wings daemon (git issue here) your Wings daemon must be configured to use UID `1000`` when running this server. If not, then the server will crash upon opening. TLDR; The game expects the current user to exist as it uses it to build working directory paths, and by default the user created for the container has a UID of 1000.

This is a barebones server that does not include any content. All content must be self supplied. You can retrieve the official modules by purchasing the game and copying the data to your server. You may also consume player-made modules from various community websites, most popular of which is the Neverwinter Vault.
Official data can be transferred and used on the server, but you must own a copy of the game to get the data.
data/ directory.Files tab.data.zip archive to the server.data.zip archive into the data/ directory.Official modules will be found at: data/mod/
Custom modules are modules made my other players and distributed for consumption. They come in all shapes and sizes, and can be found readily on the internet. The most popular community for this is the Neverwinter Vault.
Assuming you are using the Neverwinter Vault, find the module you want to download. Download the corresponding files and upload them to the appropriate directories on your server. All custom modules (and custom data in general) live in the user directory.
The table below shows the different file types that you could potentially find in a custom module and in which directory they need to be placed. Some modules may deviate and require that some files be place into the override folder. Be sure to read the description of the modules and any README files to ensure these are place appropriately.
