I have made this script for install Rise of Nations (without expansion). I will publish the expansion script soon.
I post here to ask you if it works, if it's written OK, etc.

This is wrong

TYTUL="Rise of Nations" 

you musn't use TYTUL, it is only Title in Polish language

#cabextract is needed to extract DirectX archives
check_one "cabextract" "cabextract" 

You don't need this as cabextract i POL's dependency

select_prefix "$HOME/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Rise_of_Nations/" 

This should be written otherwise

echo "\\"dsound\\"=\\"native,builtin\\"" >> $REPERTOIRE/tmp/RON/dx.reg

you can do

cd "$REPERTOIRE/tmp/RON"
echo "\\"dsound\\"=\\"native,builtin\\"" >> dx.reg

#this is more personal, I don't like the blue-Windows background color every time the game is loading
echo "[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\\\Control Panel\\\\Colors]" >> $REPERTOIRE/tmp/RON/dx.reg

echo "\\"ButtonFace\\"=\\"192 192 192\\"" >> $REPERTOIRE/tmp/RON/dx.reg
regedit $REPERTOIRE/tmp/RON/dx.reg 

Is this required to run the game?

really? http://www.playonmac.com/en/dev-documentation-1.html
Perhaps "then" should be in new line, in my script it's in new line, I don't know why it's in the same when I posted here. =S

fixed, I got confused

#cabextract is needed to extract DirectX archives
check_one "cabextract" "cabextract" 

You don't need this as cabextract i POL's dependency

fixed

select_prefix "$HOME/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Rise_of_Nations/" 

This should be written otherwise

I don't understand. I see it in documentation. http://www.playonmac.com/en/dev-documentation-5.html

echo "\\"dsound\\"=\\"native,builtin\\"" >> $REPERTOIRE/tmp/RON/dx.reg

you can do

cd "$REPERTOIRE/tmp/RON"
echo "\\"dsound\\"=\\"native,builtin\\"" >> dx.reg

fixed

#this is more personal, I don't like the blue-Windows background color every time the game is loading
echo "[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\\\Control Panel\\\\Colors]" >> $REPERTOIRE/tmp/RON/dx.reg
echo "\\"Background\\"=\\"0 0 0\\"" >> $REPERTOIRE/tmp/RON/dx.reg
echo "\\"ButtonFace\\"=\\"192 192 192\\"" >> $REPERTOIRE/tmp/RON/dx.reg
regedit $REPERTOIRE/tmp/RON/dx.reg 

Is this required to run the game?

Not, It's to not see the blue screen while loading the game

No, just do short

[ "$PLAYONLINUX" = "" ] && exit
source "$PLAYONLINUX/lib/sources"

I don't understand. I see it in documentation. http://www.playonmac.com/en/dev-documentation-5.html

I think this must be clarified but for know it's better to use POL's REPERTOIRE so it would look like

select_prefix "$REPERTOIRE/wineprefix/Rise_of_Nations/"

echo "\\"dsound\\"=\\"native,builtin\\"" >> $REPERTOIRE/tmp/RON/dx.reg

you can do

cd "$REPERTOIRE/tmp/RON"
echo "\\"dsound\\"=\\"native,builtin\\"" >> dx.reg

fixed

No you didn't fix that

Now is it fixed? http://pastebin.com/m4165482

echo "\\"dsound\\"=\\"native,builtin\\"" >> $REPERTOIRE/tmp/RON/dx.reg

you can do

cd "$REPERTOIRE/tmp/RON"
echo "\\"dsound\\"=\\"native,builtin\\"" >> dx.reg

fixed

No you didn't fix that

why not?

Yes, now it's fixed.
1)Here is one more thing that i don't like

mkdir $REPERTOIRE/downloads

for such things there is $REPERTOIRE/ressources directory so no need to create another

2)In heading of script there is also no
# Distribution used to test:
# Author:

3) you don't need this

PREFIX="$HOME/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/Rise_of_Nations" 

just use WINEPREFIX variable

4)You could also take all the paths in quotes like e.g this

cd $REPERTOIRE/tmp/RON/dxcab_tmp/

could look like this

cd "$REPERTOIRE/tmp/RON/dxcab_tmp/"

Second case is better because when space occur in name then in first case command won't work as it should

Edited by NSLW

1) I didn't known. fixed!
2) Really matters the distribution? Wine is the same for all, but fixed
3) ok, fixed
4) fixed in most, I think.

Ignore the blank lines you see... PasteBin hates me.

damn invisible characters and damn DOS format!
