The forum

Hello,

This is my first try of a playOnLinux Script, I choose to try to install my personnal favorite game, the first X-com : UFO - Enemy Unknown.

The installation seem to be correct, but not the execution. I'm sure that soùe expert eye could tell me the newbie error i've made :)

For the record the dosbox config is a recovery

# DOSBOX CONFIG
cat <<_EOFCFG_ > "$WINEPREFIX/playonlinux_dos.cfg"
# This is the configurationfile for DOSBox 0.74. (Please use the latest version of DOSBox)
# Lines starting with a # are commentlines and are ignored by DOSBox.
# They are used to (briefly) document the effect of each option.

[sdl]
#       fullscreen: Start dosbox directly in fullscreen. (Press ALT-Enter to go back)
#       fulldouble: Use double buffering in fullscreen. It can reduce screen flickering, but it can also result in a slow DOSBox.
#   fullresolution: What resolution to use for fullscreen: original or fixed size (e.g. 1024x768).
#                     Using your monitor's native resolution with aspect=true might give the best results.
#                     If you end up with small window on a large screen, try an output different from surface.
# windowresolution: Scale the window to this size IF the output device supports hardware scaling.
#                     (output=surface does not!)
#           output: What video system to use for output.
#                   Possible values: surface, overlay, opengl, openglnb, ddraw.
#         autolock: Mouse will automatically lock, if you click on the screen. (Press CTRL-F10 to unlock)
#      sensitivity: Mouse sensitivity.
#      waitonerror: Wait before closing the console if dosbox has an error.
#         priority: Priority levels for dosbox. Second entry behind the comma is for when dosbox is not focused/minimized.
#                     pause is only valid for the second entry.
#                   Possible values: lowest, lower, normal, higher, highest, pause.
#       mapperfile: File used to load/save the key/event mappings from. Resetmapper only works with the defaul value.
#     usescancodes: Avoid usage of symkeys, might not work on all operating systems.

# captures: Directory where things like wave, midi, screenshot get captured.
#  memsize: Amount of memory DOSBox has in megabytes.
#             This value is best left at its default to avoid problems with some games,
#             though few games might require a higher value.
#             There is generally no speed advantage when raising this value.

[render]
# frameskip: How many frames DOSBox skips before drawing one.
#    aspect: Do aspect correction, if your output method doesn't support scaling this can slow things down!.
#    scaler: Scaler used to enlarge/enhance low resolution modes.
#              If 'forced' is appended, then the scaler will be used even if the result might not be desired.
#            Possible values: none, normal2x, normal3x, advmame2x, advmame3x, advinterp2x, advinterp3x, hq2x, hq3x, 2xsai, super2xsai, supereagle, tv2x, tv3x, rgb2x, rgb3x, scan2x, scan3x.

#      core: CPU Core used in emulation. auto will switch to dynamic if available and appropriate.

#    cycles: Amount of instructions DOSBox tries to emulate each millisecond.
#            Setting this value too high results in sound dropouts and lags.
#            Cycles can be set in 3 ways:
#              'auto'          tries to guess what a game needs.
#                              It usually works, but can fail for certain games.
#              'fixed #number' will set a fixed amount of cycles. This is what you usually need if 'auto' fails.
#                              (Example: fixed 4000).
#              'max'           will allocate as much cycles as your computer is able to handle.
#            
#            Possible values: auto, fixed, max.
#   cycleup: Amount of cycles to decrease/increase with keycombo.(CTRL-F11/CTRL-F12)
# cycledown: Setting it lower than 100 will be a percentage.

Edited by Sckizo

Cf. French version

check_one "7za" "7za"
POL_SetupWindow_missing

Both check_one and POL_SetupWindow_missing are obsolete statements since PlayOnLinux 4.1.2 (June 2012); However PlayOnLinux checks for the presence of 7z at startup, so just drop those redundant statements.

TMP_DIR=/home/papa/.PlayOnLinux//tmp/

Don't hardcode PlayOnLinux/PlayOnMac state directory anywhere, use $POL_USER_ROOT instead

GAME_FILE="ftp://ares:ares@tele500.abandonware-france.org/fichiers/jeux/1994-1995/jeu-00216-ufo_enemy_unknown-pcwin.7z"

Don't know the legality of this, that looks complicated

POL_SetupWindow_download "Downloading $TITLE" "$TITLE" "$GAME_FILE"

According to comments in the code, in scripts your should use POL_Download instead

POL_SetupWindow_wait_next_signal "Installation in progress..." "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Games/$INSTALL_DIR/$TITLE"

All user-oriented messages should support localization. However for the default waiting message, just use

POL_Wine_WaitBefore "$TITLE"

7za x "jeu-00216-ufo_enemy_unknown-pcwin.7z" -otmp_ufo

If you use POL_System_7z instead of 7za, you'll get error management for free: if some error happens during decompression, the script will display an error message and abort (since PlayOnLinux/PlayOnMac 4.1.4)

POL_SetupWindow_detect_exit

This statement does not really make sense, since you didn't start Wine
