1)not required
cfg_check
because deprecated

2)not required
# Include mandatory PlayOnLinux libs
if [ "$PLAYONLINUX" = "" ]
then
     # Display Error in console
     echo "Can't find PlayOnLinux libraries !"
     echo "Please check PLAYONLINUX"

     if [ "$ZENITYPATH" != "" ] ; then
          zenity --error --title="$GAMENAME PlayOnLinux Script" --text="The PlayOnLinux libraries can't be found \\! Please check the varaible PLAONLINUX \\!

It should be something like :
export PLAYONLINUX=/usr/share/playonlinux"
     fi

     exit 0
fi

because PlayOnLinux should show such errors

3) Why not to use wikipedia?
http://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/large/1174536160-00.jpg

4) Not quoted and contains "Program Files" which isn't in all languages
cd $REPERTOIRE/wineprefix/$PREFIX/drive_c/Program\\ Files/Empire\\ Interactive/FlatOut2

5) not required
if [ "$UNZIPPATH" != "" ] ; then
because unzip is playonlinux dependency

6) Wrong
if [ -e "$REPERTOIRE/wineprefix/$PREFIX" ]; then
First: -e is for testing file and not directory
Second: use it to know if you could ask about patch

7) quote all
$CDROM
and maybe other paths

Hello,

Thanks for your comments !

Everythings fixed : http://svn.zedroot.org/PlayOnLinuxScripts/flatout.2.sh

Only point about wikipedia: Can you tell me where can I make the search to found the cover ?
I've only found the page about the game with a logo, not the cover.

Can you tell me why is it so important to quote variables ?
( I'm nearly new with bash )

And finaly, my script that I post for validation is not up to date any more. How can I do to update it ?


Thanks for your reply, and hope to help playonlinux ! :)

1) why this?
ZENITYPATH=`which zenity`
UNZIPPATH=`which unzip`

Only point about wikipedia: Can you tell me where can I make the search to found the cover ?
I've only found the page about the game with a logo, not the cover.

2) Wikipedia link for game cover
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flatout2pc.jpg

3) Probably wrong
"$REPERTOIRE/wineprefix/$PREFIX/drive_c/$PROGRAMFILES/Empire\\ Interactive/FlatOut2"

It should be
"$REPERTOIRE/wineprefix/$PREFIX/drive_c/$PROGRAMFILES/Empire Interactive/FlatOut2"

Can you tell me why is it so important to quote variables ?
( I'm nearly new with bash )

Because sometimes path to cd rom can contain spaces and if you won't quote that then some commands may not work

And finaly, my script that I post for validation is not up to date any more. How can I do to update it ?

I rejected your script so you can correct it.

Okay thanks again for tour reply!

Let me make l'astre modifications, ans I'll update my script.

1) why this?
ZENITYPATH=`which zenity`
UNZIPPATH=`which unzip`

I had forget this and fix it before your post ;)
So it's fixed !

3) Probably wrong
"$REPERTOIRE/wineprefix/$PREFIX/drive_c/$PROGRAMFILES/Empire\\ Interactive/FlatOut2"

It should be
"$REPERTOIRE/wineprefix/$PREFIX/drive_c/$PROGRAMFILES/Empire Interactive/FlatOut2"

No, cause of the space. It's linux path, not windows path.

I rejected your script so you can correct it.

Thanks you !


I have fixed latest points, can you check please ?

No, cause of the space. It's linux path, not windows path.

If you use quotes then you don't have to use backslashes for spaces.

Ha ok !

Cool ! I've learn something ! :D

I've made the modification, I'm updating the script.

Thanks.

I've just fixed another bug that I've discover during creation of a new script.

Can you refuse (again sorry) my script to patch my script please ?

done

Thank you very much !

Script patched and waiting for validation ;)

I've got one more question:
Does this is required?
Set_SoundDriver alsa
Doesn't sound works with default Wine settings?

Hum... yeah it should...

I think I had try with OSS, and have not work.. But Yeah agree, I can delete this line.

On my side is done.

You can refuse my script to let me patch it, or you can do this if you want.
Let me know what's your choice ;)

Corrected and accepted. Thanks for the script :)

Thanks to you for your help !

Heum... is it possible to update the script ?

I'have found that a shortcut is missing to configure the game !
So the script miss a second line with POL_SetupWindow_make_shortcut:

Line 91:

POL_SetupWindow_make_shortcut "$PREFIX" "$PROGRAMFILES/Empire Interactive/FlatOut2" "FlatOut2.exe" "" "$GAMENAME Setup" "" "-setup"

Updated

Thanks ! :)

Could you tell me why the game icon don't appear in PlayOnLinux please ?
