Ok, i've reverted to the other approach, simplified the script, removed unnecessary dependencies. But the patch (needed for old versions) download is unreliable, and seems to be available practically nowhere. What should i do then ?

Script approved. When a file is hard to find for download, just let the user install locally if he can find it.

Installer was updated, https://github.com/medfreeman/RogueSquadron3DInstaller/blob/master/changelog.txt

Wine version updated to 1.7.28, fixed menu problem with strict draw ordering, removed detection of game path since installer now forbids changing directory in wine.

English:
The Death Star has been destroyed thanks to Skywalker's and Wedge Antilles' efforts. But the Empire is quickly regaining strength; Rogue Squadron is formed comprising the best pilots in the Alliance. Their current mission: stop the imperial threats over Alliance planets in twelve missions (plus secret). Their vehicles: X-Wings, A-Wings, V-Wings, the snowspeeder and, with the latest patch, even an Episode 1 Naboo Fighter!

Français :
Star Wars : Rogue Squadron est un jeu d'action sur PC. Vous jouez le rôle de Luke Skywalker. Avec vos équipiers, vous venez de détruire la terrible Etoile Noire, le repère des troupes de l'Empire. Mais, ce dernier est en train de rassembler toutes ses forces afin de porter une attaque massive sur les forces rebelles. Pour stopper cette contre-offensive, l'escadron Rogue est normé, qui rassemble les meilleurs pilotes de l'Alliance.

Sorry but what is http://ftp.oktopod.tv?
med_freeman
Sunday 5 October 2014 at 15:06
np It's just a personal ftp for now (one of the domains of my own company). Would you prefer to host the installer (it's 2.9MB) ?

Sorry I haven't seen it. You cannot redistribute those files, it's not legal. You must download it from an official source
med_freeman
Monday 6 October 2014 at 3:39
np. Are you talking about the manual ? Or the installer ? because i wrote the installer myself, so i guess it's an official source.
med_freeman
Monday 6 October 2014 at 3:43
The only thing not legal would be the official patch embedded inside the installer, so i could download it instead. What do you think ?

What is embeded inside the installer appart from the official patch?
med_freeman
Monday 6 October 2014 at 18:43
The icon, the left banner i made, the top banner i made, and dxwebsetup.exe. That's all.

Well you have to use the official installer. It's not legal to repackage it
med_freeman
Tuesday 7 October 2014 at 0:20
Ok. But it asks for the cd and doesn't contain any game file. So it's not really 'repackaging'. Anyway the original is a 16 bit installer, so it has to include POL_Call POL_Function_RootCommand "sudo sysctl -w abi.ldt16=1; exit", has to include explanations why the user has to do this, and is not user friendly at all. And the script becomes really big, since the game has to be patched with official patch, then unofficial, then nglide... Guess i have no choice..

Yeah that is the point. We just want you to make all things you do appear in the script, instead of "hidding" them in an unofficial installer. Security measures :)

Here's the new version ! Highly simplified, all is done by the installer instead of the script.

Please note that the "/nocdprompt" flag running the installer is only here to avoid prompting the user to enter the cd again since it's already done in POL, not any kind of copy protection bypass. thx

POL_Shortcut should not take "windows/system32/nglide_config.exe" as argument, but "nglide_config.exe"
med_freeman
Monday 29 September 2014 at 16:19
Ok, i figured that out, but POL won't detect it..
med_freeman
Saturday 4 October 2014 at 15:19
I was wrong, assumed that it would be the same result as in the graphical shortcut creation, where the executable wasn't found.

Why all those overriding functions?
med_freeman
Sunday 21 September 2014 at 13:50
The first three are needed to get values from wine system registry. To my knowledge there's only one available to get keys from user registry.
med_freeman
Sunday 21 September 2014 at 13:52
Since in need the game install path to copy the manual and mission fix, if figured it is the only way to do it. I prefer that over assuming the path will be the default one, even if 99,99% of people won't change it.

The next three concern 16bit subsystem. The game installer is 16bit, and in newer linux kernels (3.14 and older which have the 16bit part backported from 3.13, i.e: the default one in ubuntu 14.04) have 16bit support disabled by default. So these functions are here to check /enable it, or the installer won't run.
med_freeman
Sunday 21 September 2014 at 13:57
I prefered this over using the new 32/64bit installers found on the internet, since it seemed simpler, until i saw the result of POL_Call POL_Function_RootCommand.
med_freeman
Sunday 21 September 2014 at 14:00
Perhaps i'll make a new one with nsis because i don't think that the one found on the net sets registry keys automatically, and i would favor doing this in the installer to avoid over-complicating the installer.
med_freeman
Sunday 21 September 2014 at 14:01
edit : to avoid complicating the playonlinux script
med_freeman
Sunday 21 September 2014 at 14:05
Last one is to avoid explaining you have to set the game to glide and going to the hardware options in the game menu, since it soesn't work with D3D anyway if i'm not mistaken. The game is playable up to 7860x4320.

Sunday 21 September 2014 at 16:28
What would you suggest ?

Thursday 25 September 2014 at 15:10
fyi i'm currently making a new installer for the game with nsis, i'll update the script when finished and give you the url for the assets. thx
