GhostOfKendo, tu as fait une erreur dans ton script ligne 119. Tu as mis deux fois 4/4 au lieu de 3/4[...]4/4.

Hi!

I have had PWI installed without any errors or bugs on this computer before, but it is uninstalled right now. Last night I thought I should install it again, and of a sudden I found myself on this page! =)
So I thought I should give your script a go, without having to do so much myself.

I am installing the game right now, and it seems that the download location is dead, take a look at your code (line 115):

POL_SetupWindow_download "$LNG_DOWNLOADING_CLIENT" "$GAME_NAME" "http://www8.onrpg.com/perfect_world_international/Perfect_World_International.exe"

I think this link would be a good substitute:
http://pwi-ns.perfectworld.com/clients/pwi_Downloader_v166_XP.exe

However, the installer divided into parts are not dead links, so i am installing with those right now.

Thanks to this community for a good program!

Hi again!
The game is installed and patched! No problems at all with your script.

But when I should play the game it failed. =(
However, some small changes in winecfg (running from POL) and it got going.
Installing this mod: http://pw-forum.onlinewelten.com/yaf_postst3238_Perfect-World-Resolution-Pack--Download.aspx and I had my native resolution. I will soon reinstall Ubuntu 9.10 on this computer (the update from 9.04 to 9.10 was not flawless). I will then try your script with a fresh install. =)

EDIT: Actually, the water was also buggy. =/
But I'll post here again when I have installed on a fresh installation. =)

EDIT2: Well your script is 6 months old. The information on the AppDB page has most likely been updated pretty much since then, now it seems to be "later is better", not using 1.1.22 (which is not even mentioned on PW's AppDB page) . They also recommends some settings:

Wine configuration:
Windows -> "Windows XP"
Allow Pixel Shader "enable"
Audio only ALSA

Regedit configuration:
Add "Direct3D" key to HKEY_CURRENT_USR -> Software -> Wine
Add the following String Values to the Direct3D key:


DirectDrawRenderer "opengl"
Nonpower2Mode "repack"
OffscreenRenderingMode "fbo"
PixelShaderMode "enabled"
RenderTargetLockMode "auto"


Install DirectX 9 with WineTricks:
Open a terminal and use:
wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricksAfter that:
Run winetricks with:
sh winetricksAnd install the DirectX9 package from the list.

If you have performance issues, switch off Compiz. In the Perfect World Settings, disable the option "Soften" if your game is slow.

They also recommend to let wine emulate a virtual desktop, even if the game will run anyway. I have not done very much in POL before, but I'll think I'll try to update your script a little so we can get this in to the repo. However, I'll probably fail big so someone might have to write the update anyway. ;)
