Adds POL_SetupWindow_SetID, since petch's update seems to have been missed.

Also add POL_Wine_InstallCDROM, to hopefully support DRM protection (no guarentees---I can't test this since my CD doesn't have DRM, and Wine probably doesn't support it anyway, but it's a slight bit of future-proofing.)

Complete overhaul of the script---none of the current POL_Calls are necessary, and replace Media Player Codec Pack and VLC with POL_Call POL_Install_DirectShowFiltersFix, as well as update to Wine 1.8-rc1, removal of temporary directory. Also switched to PNG format for top installer image, since the JPG has a black background.

Could an admin please inspect my update from July 31? The update is necessary for the script to function properly, due to some changes with the Media Player Codec Pack installler.

Yes, I am aware of this. My copy is the DRM-free version, which doesn't require the disk to be inserted for the game to run. If it allows you to install it, there are ways to avoid the DRM systems, but these are probably not strictly legal wherever you happen to live. I believe that GOG.com sells DRM-free versions of games, and their installer would probably allow you to run the game. See the very bottom of this page: http://wiki.playonlinux.com/index.php/First_Use

I dont have this game, I cant help. But the installer script includes huge amount of different overrides. That's not good. Wine shouldnt be in that bad shape. You set 1.6.2 as the basic wine version but I would suggest you to try 1.7 series or 1.7-staging. Consider the fact that 1.6.2 has been there around 2 years with no updates. No bug fixes. But development version gets every 2 weeks a new release.

I'm sorry, but this game needs DirectX, and I'm pretty sure that the full DirectX 9 is better than Wine's implementation. I'll run some tests, though. As for Wine 1.7.x, I have tried it, and it doesn't fix any problems. And, last time I checked, my method was the only one which did not result in a completely silent game. Without both the codec pack and VLC, there is no sound except button clicks. Without WMP, it would try (and likely fail) to install it itself, since WMP is packaged with RCT3. Wine is not perfect, and that is precisely why PlayOnLinux and its scripts are necessary. Many scripts draw in lots of overrides, and the more complicated the game, the more there usually are. I will, however, run some tests without native DirectX and Wine 1.7.47.

I've tested the script with Wine 1.7.48-staging and no DirectX dependencies. The game begins to start OK, then exits leaving a blank white window open. The dependencies seem perfectly necessary to me, but if you would like to buy the game and perform tests yourself, I would be glad for any results you receive. Thank you.

You can open a bug report about it for wine-staging to get it fixed.You can use POL and wine-staging to do that. Here is the bug tracker https://bugs.wine-staging.com/enter_bug.cgi

I' m sorry, but I can't wait around for someone to fix this. DirectX is a huge library, and I'm sure is still being actively worked on by WineHQ. Wine was deliberately designed to be compatible with native components, and so that is what I will stay with for the time being. You are welcome to report the bug yourself, but I don't think it will be accepted, since PlayOnLinux is involved. See https://www.playonlinux.com/en/topic-11583-Is_WineHQ_anti_Playonlinux.html In any case, PlayOnLinux is meant to be a system to get programs working, not a testing ground for Wine.

The original bug report is submiting it to winehq bugzilla, not staging. It's not the same thing

I have simplified the script and cleaned it up considerably, and have used eval_gettext to support translation. Here are also the two icons for use on the website and for the installed program icon:

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3-22x22.png

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3-48x48.png

The top.png and left.png images are included in the script with POL_GetSetupImages.

Also, contrary to the information provided on my RCT3 disk, the CD is NOT required to be placed in the drive for the program to run. I was also not prompted for a CD key when installing.
