The forum

Hi all,
I've been working on a POL script for the GOG.com version of King's Bounty: The Legend. I took inspiration and code from the existing POL script for KBL and Gothic 2 GOG.com script.

The script installs nicely KBL, the game starts. I am able to view the logos, select a character, see the story intro but then the graphics get mingled right when starting to play the map:


I've tried with wine version 1.7.15, 1.7.6 and 1.4.1, with WinXP and Win7.

Hi,
Maybe you're experiencing some driver issue.

About the script, right now it contains lots of unused statements:

#return = local path to scaled image
get_image() {
        URL=$1
        wget $URL --output-document="$REPERTOIRE/tmp/leftnotscaled.jpeg"
        convert "$REPERTOIRE/tmp/leftnotscaled.jpeg" -scale 150x356\! "$REPERTOIRE/tmp/left.jpeg"
        echo "$REPERTOIRE/tmp/left.jpeg"
}

Unused code, not to mention that those days we prefer hosting images on the server rather than use ugly code in scripts. When the script is ready, just provide some link to a copy of the scaled gfx and I'll put it on the server.

#return = path to game.exe
get_gameexe() {
        cd $WINEPREFIX/drive_c  && find . -name kb.exe
}

Unused code

#set properties and forget
install_configuration(){
        Set_GLSL On
}

Unused code

install_directx(){
...

Unused and totally outdated code, use "function" scripts to install DirectX

POL_SetupWindow_wait_next_signal "Setting configuration properties" "$TITLE installation"
#install_configuration
#POL_Wine_Direct3D UseGLSL
POL_SetupWindow_detect_exit

Since this call is commented out, you can remove all that

#install_directx
#POL_Call POL_Install_d3dx9
#POL_Call POL_Install_d3dx9_36

Dead code

POL_Call POL_Install_d3dx9
POL_Call POL_Install_d3dx9_36
PoL_Call POL_Install_d3dx10
PoL_Call POL_Install_d3dx11

last two commands don't work because the case is wrong (must be POL in uppercase). So if installation works as-is, you didn't need them

POL_Shortcut "kb.exe" "$SHORTCUT_NAME" "gfw_high.ico" "" "Game;StrategyGame;"

Third parameter is the name of the file to get from the server, so a local filename doesn't work. If you get the right icon you don't need it.

Regards,
Pierre.
