Hi everyone, recently i could manage to make this game works, suddenly i decided to make an script and well here i am. I based my script on Raziels one for NFSUnderground2 so i think it needs some corrections spite it works fine (at least for me) so chek it out.

Oh! i didn't know, and i couldn't find a way to add them without winetricks, how should i do?

Thanks a lot

You can write some POL_Call scripts :)

But before, make sure that ie7 and d3dcompiler_43 are really needed (especially ie7)

Fore corefonts, why don't you simply use POL_Wine_InstallFonts ?

Thanks a lot now i'll try to fix it and yes, according to what i've read on wine website its recommended to install it.
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=20659
(i added some more mentioned below in the website and combined all of them, finally it worked)

I was reading the documentation but i don't know how to call ie7 and d3dcompiler_43 with POL_Call could u explain it a bit better or point me to the correct guide?

Sorry for my ignorance i'm doing my best :)
Thanks again!

There are no ie7 and d3dcompiler_43 POL_Call scripts

You need to make them if you want to use them into POL

Oh! so, a solution could be adding this script http://www.playonmac.com/repository/?script=369 as a function on my script? is there a way to call this script that has already been done?

Are you sure that your script REALLY needs ie7 ?

Recipe that worked for me in Ubuntu 12.10 with POL 4.1.8 and Wine 1.4.1 is dotnet20, mono26 and running command runas /user:[hostname]\\administrator to exec before running the program. The command is necessary to run program as administrator to avoid update error. Enjoy!
