Hi necrose99,

Ok the problem is that you started from a very old script, so lot of what you copied is deprecated style...

You can check in the tutorial what current scripts should look like.

cd $REPERTOIRE/tmp

The use of $REPERTOIRE is deprecated, use $POL_USER_ROOT instead

rm *.jpg

No script will be accepted with rm not using absolute paths anymore. Anyway, this is totally useless, just remove it

POL_SetupWindow_InitWithImages

Obsolete statement, just use POL_SetupWindow_Init
Also it should be followed by POL_Debug_Init to enable the embedded debugger support.

POL_SetupWindow_install_wine "$WORKING_WINE"
Use_WineVersion "$WORKING_WINE"

#set the prefix
select_prefix "$REPERTOIRE/wineprefix/$PREFIX"

Obsoleted by POL_Wine_SelectPrefix and POL_Wine_PrefixCreate

#set the Program Files variable
POL_LoadVar_PROGRAMFILES

No longer necessary, $PROGRAMFILES is automatically set

POL_SetupWindow_message_image "Please note that this game requires a subscription.\nThis script will only install EverQuest II,\n it will not give you a paid subscription.\n\nDo not install shortcuts with the installer.\nThose shortcuts will break EverQuest II\nand correct ones will be setup later." "Note about subscriptions/shortcuts" "$PLAYONLINUX/themes/tango/warning.png"

POL_SetupWindow_message_image is no longer supported, use POL_SetupWindow_message instead.
And all user oriented messages must support localization mechanism

POL_SetupWindow_download "Please wait while EverQuest  is downloading" "Downloading" "$DOWNLOAD_SITE"

use POL_Download instead

wine ./EQ_setup.exe

You should use POL_Wine wrapper instead of directly calling wine, so its output is correctly logged

POL_SetupWindow_message "Press forward only when installation is fully complete." "Confirmation of Installation"

Such user interaction shouldn't be necessary anymore, worse case if the installation is non-blocking use POL_Wine_WaitExit here

POL_SetupWindow_auto_shortcut "$PREFIX" "everquest.exe" "$TITLE" "$TITLE.png" ""

Use POL_Shortcut instead

Set_WineVersion_Assign "$WORKING_WINE" "$TITLE"

Per-shortcut Wine version is no longer supported, just remove that statement

clean_tmp

Not necessary anymore

POL_SetupWindow_Message "EverQuest Veil Of Alraris has successfully installed.\nClick forward to close the window." "Installation Successful"

The use of "Success" messages at the end of scripts is deprecated, because it will be displayed even in case of non-fatal error, and then followed by a PlayOnLinux screen telling some error happened. Just remove it.

I just mearly used the eq2 script you have up , both will install to same prefix or main wine ok

Altar of Malice @EQ2 installer script , POL_SetupWindow_Message "EverQuest THE DARKENED SEA installed.\nClick forward to close the window." "Installation Successful"

(new expansion/s added to patcher) 

however directx , corefonts dot net/mono..., and ie8 or 9 et wanted, https://www.playonlinux.com/en/app-740-EverQuest_II_Sentinels_Fate.html nerer version/s of wine (seem to work fine ie >=1.65

so long as you have the few deps asked for , https://forums.daybreakgames.com/landmark also.... seams to work just fine in fact it saves much bother and space to put most the soe games in same container.

though since landmark basicly thesame instaler + a few wine tricks can get all three to run. 

Sony Online Entertainment is no more, now Daybreak as it was spun off.

i just used this but obiulsly the scripts have no dynamic refactor, 
spike-pentesting we got witchcraft to rewite/refactor bash---Ebuilds for gentoo...(build them, etc)  (mudler) (github) anyhow its so much perl.... used to perl4 made me wana shoot my eyes out. but obiously no auto-grpper to update the older scripts (too much programing head hurting) anyhow users can string together the patches ,mentioned if they like. anyhow my pentester quality ebuilds ... or simple sciprts.
