The forum

I have big problem for patching the game for the downloader.

Patching latest 1.20 patch
Orginal patch is a found http://ubuntuone.com/0X7xY9HU099mXDP1VWyWx7
Im also shared the setup.exe file http://ubuntuone.com/7SrgDOZ2kHoku9BTFhWgHV
with md5sum is 9a48a4a599f29119d19fbce5a80a9ef7
but i can not this download working. it downloading file but says not found.

The installation program may be the fact that it does not recognize all of the files. which may be required. orginal setup files are setup.exe patchw32.dll patchinfo.str and PATCH.RTP  how can i put this all into that download program. if im put all files tar-package. How to unpacking files in program. Is there POL_unzip script???

RedFactionPatch120.tar.gz
http://ubuntuone.com/4ZL4Hugqm7qSZybothTp0Q
md5sum: 5c4d4499d24549709211e8c7b8448867

if im using a playonlinux terminal and install patch. its working.

    POL_Download "http://ubuntuone.com/7SrgDOZ2kHoku9BTFhWgHV" "9a48a4a599f29119d19fbce5a80a9ef7"

Your problem is probably that it will create a local file called 7SrgDOZ2kHoku9BTFhWgHV in the current directory, so you may want to add a

mv 7SrgDOZ2kHoku9BTFhWgHV RedFactionPatch120.tar.gz

right after the download. The next POL_SetupWindow_wait statement is useless though, it happens too late, and if placed before POL_Download the message will probably only show a faction of second before being overwritten by POL_Download own messages (to check - but anyway it's redundant with POL_Download progress bar).

To answer your question, there's POL_System_unzip, POL_System_7z, POL_System_tar, POL_System_cabextract and POL_System_unrar, but right now they don't provide much functionality over the plain tool (just some error handling: if the tool reports an error, the script is stopped).
There's also POL_System_ExtractSingleFile, that expects a 7-zip archive and uncompresses only a single file, but displays a nice progress bar.

Other than that:
- again, start /unix is most often useless
- == does fnmatch()-like matching in Bash, strictly speaking if you want to check strings equality you should use = (you don't notice the difference until the right argument contains joker characters).
- a good practice in writing install scripts is to delay creating the virtual drive ("prefix") as much as possible to lower the probability to leave unused half-initialized virtual drives around if the script is interrupted (by an issue or otherwise). It requires to reorder a bit the script:

* presentation
* questions to the user (installation mode, file path in case of local mode)
* download in a temp directory (in case of download mode)
* virtual drive creation
* installation of dependencies
* installation of the program
* shortcuts creation

Thanks for answer. I try make a better script. Now im testing only patch script. Its faster.

You're welcome, I just hope it helps :)
