Game marked as silver on winehq.org.

Eve Online is a video game by CCP games. It is a player-driven, persistent-world MMORPG set in a science fiction space setting.

I posted code in simple code tag because "language=playonlinux" broke layout. I have no idea why.

SWEET! I love Eve. I have always wanted to play Dust, as well.

The only thing that I see right off the bat, is the VMS setting. You should ask the user, as if you dont specify, Wine can only use, I think about 128 mb, but if you specify that your card has 1GB, it will use it. Make it ask the user, but if there is a minimum MB limit, make sure you state that when asking the user to state their VMS size.

Other than that, it looks good. Same with all of the icons and everything.

Correct that, and then submit it in the Supported Software portion of this site by going there, clicking New Installer, fill out the form, and submit for signing, as per the sticky at the top of the page regarding script standards.

Cant wait to install this one. :) Guess I gotta get another account. haha

POL_SetupWindow_VMS asks the user how much video memory his videocard has, and writes that into the registry. It also caches the answer so the user is only asked once.
Its parameter is the minimal amount of memory required for the game, or whatever application is being installed. Its only use is, if the amount entered by the user is below that value, it also issues a warning.

Edited by petch

Oh. I thought that was just in there so that when it asked, it automatically just used that one.

We should really look into that feature request where you suggested to create a wiki to get started on getting a compendium of info on all of this in one spot.

So POL_SetupWindow_VMS was used correctly?
Also what you would say about using "start /unix", coz I cant understand why it is used in other scripts.

If petch says it was used correctly, then it was. His coding background far surpasses mine. :) Im learning, though. haha

As for the start /unix, Im not sure. I know who will, though. haha

@l0ser140: If the game requires a minimum of 128MB of memory onboard videocard, then that's correct.

start /unix is seldom necessary (personally I only experienced it once; I've been told it's also needed in some cases where CDROMs are involved, but I can't tell). On the other hand, it has the drawback of "detaching" the Windows programs launched that way, and they're not automatically killed if the install script is closed/aborted by the user.
So, as a general rule, don't use it unless you experienced that it is really necessary.


Personally I noticed that you do not use translation facility (eval_gettext) consistently, you should use it for all messages to the user, or some messages will never be translated.

Not a problem, but a tip: in sed syntax for substitution s///, the use of the slash character is purely conventional, you can use almost any other character. That can be useful when you already have slashes in the pattern or substitution texts, because then you don't need to backslash them (eg sed -n 's|.*<a class="win" href="http://content\\.eveonline\\.com/\\([0-9]*\\)/.*|\\1|p')

Well, I removed it from script.
How I can make changes in script which already waiting signature?
Source code page is blank.

Is the translation done automatically or something based on what uses (eval_gettext)? Just for my future reference when writing a script.

It uses GNU gettext mechanisms (https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/).
Basically this libraries allows to lookup for translation texts using the english text and the current "text domain" as a key.

gettext provides all the required parts:
- a function that can be used in the code to do those lookups at run time;
- tools to extract the english text 'keys' from those function calls in a separate file (.po), that can be enriched manually with the translation of each text, in the different languages;
- (tools to merge such files, etc.);
- a tool to compile those files in binary files (.mo) that allow for efficient lookups, for use by the translation function.

Translations are handled by a team of translators thru the Launchpad (https://launchpad.net/playonlinux).

All the repository scripts, at least, are in a single "text domain", that's why messages reused between scripts (including the "standard" messages) are immediately translatable with no effort, and should be highly encouraged.

Hm... I have a small problem:
By the fact game doesnt need to override to native msvcr90 library. This requires only by launcher and updater.
But when I use the following code global overrides overlap app's overrides and app doesnt work.
[code]POL_Wine_OverrideDLL "builtin,native" "msvcr90"
POL_Wine_OverrideDLL_App "launcher.exe" "native,builtin" "msvcr90"
POL_Wine_OverrideDLL_App "repair.exe" "native,builtin" "msvcr90"
[/code]
How i can just delete override which placed by installing vcrun2008?

I want to use wine builtin lib for game and native lib for launcher only.


add: well, I created POL_Wine_DelOverrideDLL() function. May be you will add it to your library? It may be necessary for some cases. (I'm too lazy to do pull-request on github)
And finally I cant make changes in script with waiting for signature status.

You can submit your Function as a Feature Request in the Bugs part of this site.

If Im not mistaken, all of that is in the registry, though, Im not sure where.

And yes, once you submit it, it means you are done with it. Afterward, if changes need to be made, only a scripter, dev, or admin can change it.

I created feature request with attached code.

So can you you give a signature or reject script that I already have submited. I need to make changes and its will finally ready.

Edited by l0ser140

Ill remove the sig, then just resubmit it when done. Just keep it in mind for the future. :)

The eve script, correct?

The eve script, correct?

Yup, "EVE online" title.
Also please check again script in first post. If all correct I'll submit it again.

Edited by l0ser140

Ok. I removed the sig. You should be able to edit it now. After you made the changes and tested, go ahead and resubmit.

Thanks sir. I made changes and resubmit script.

Submit it for signing. Lol. I cannot see it as of yet.

@DJYoshaBYD: I can see it, sending direction in PM

@l0ser140:

POL_SetupWindow_message "$(eval_gettext 'If shortcut is not created automatically, do it yourself.')" "$TITLE"

That's a weird thing to say in an automated installer ;)
Does the problem still happen? If so, it'd better be investigated, that sounds (smells?) fishy...
