#
# CHANGELOG
# [Dadu042] (2019-10-24)
#   First script. Game do not run once installed.
#
# KNOWN ISSUES:
#  - Wine amd64 3.0.3, 3.21, 4.0.2, 4.15: game does crash when launched (nothing appear). Tried: install quartz, gstreamer mpeg, rename MPEG files to disable these, NoCD.

#  0034:err:gstreamer:unknown_type Could not find a filter for caps: "video/mpeg, systemstream=(boolean)true, mpegversion=(int)1"
# sudo apt install gstreamer0.10-qapt
# sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras
# No success

# rename the folder 'Data/Video' to something else. -> Game crash also.


# Ideas to improve this script: select archive, then decide if extension is RAR or ZIP or 7Z...
