Glad to help, I am working on an expanded version that allows you to setup for opengl and directx. Do you have anything you would like to see out of the script, maybe a function?

So new to POL, used this script to "install" MOP. What I did was point it to the already installed Wow folder on a separate drive, but it errors out in POL when creating the shortcuts. I tried to modify the script to point it to the correct Launcher and correct Wow.exe, but no luck.
Any ideas?
Edit: Meant to add the errors:
Error in POL_Shortcut Binary not found: /media/shared/World of Warcraft/World of Warcraft Launcher.exe Have you installed the program to the default location?
Error in POL_Shortcut Binary not found: /media/shared/World of Warcraft/Wow.exe Have you installed the program to the default location?
The /media/shared/ is the path to the install Edited by sprice |

let me make sure I understand whats going on and I have a couple questions.
So you already have an install you are using (/media/shared/) and when you used the script it will not create the proper shortcuts.
Does it create any shortcuts at all?
Is /media/shared/ your default PlayOnLinux area where it stores your program installs?

That cannot work POL cannot guess what you are pointing. He is looking for a setup program |

Getting back into Linux, and new to PoL. Glad I found it and this site. d16174l4n63l: That script is amazing! Took advantage of WoW's Pandaria trial, and let your creation do its thing. I've never seen WoW run that well on Linux before! With that, I do have a couple questions: - After the install, I logged in to the game and played for a bit (to test). Logged out, and PoL is still running with Please wait while WoW: MoP is installed, and the loading circle just keeps going around and around. NEXT is grayed out, so I can only hit CANCEL. I'm guessing this is also why I have no WoW shortcuts? EDIT: Figured out how to make shortcuts -
CONFIGURE > choose your virtual drive, and then click on MAKE A NEW SHORTCUT FROM THIS VIRTUAL DRIVE > select the .exe from the list of icons.
- During the trailer, and the 'choose your realm/character' screen, the audio is very choppy and distorted. However, once you get into the game, it's fine. Is that a bug, or is there a fix?
Thank you again, for the script! Edited by Syrinx |

Hi i used : cmd.exe /c pathtoexternalprogram To trick POL and allow importing program. You can look at my script here: http://www.playonmac.com/en/topic-9718-script_Jade_Dynasty_and_other_Perfect_World_games.html

@Syrinx - Agent tends to be the villian in your first point. Worst case scenario once your install is done you can Tools -> Close All PlayOnLinux Software this should kickstart it up.
So far as the sound it's a case by case basis. Known bug as far as I know, and as I understand this is due to all the close ups and a suspicion that even though your character is created, WoW is still loading up the other styles behind the scenes.
Note: I can neither confirm nor deny that answer.
I should be done soon with my second iteration which allows people to make more choices on install, such as if they want to put up with the OpenGL mess or not, as some day they might actually fix it. 8)

d16174l4n63l: Thanks for your reply. I can live with the sound issue. Like I said, most of the time it gets reset (back to good), once I enter the game, or I do something to call a new sound, like talk to a NPC.
I do think I have one more issue though: low framerates. Like 4-8fps. I've been Googling a lot on this, and I keep seeing the OpenGL tag. Would your new script help with that, or am I way off base here?
I originally thought it was due to running Compiz, but I have done a fresh install of Linux Mint 13 (32 bit - MATE), and didn't install it this time around. My system specs are:

That is the modification I have been working on, is giving the directx opengl choice.
Have you turned your graphics settings down?
Also try this
-----
Click on your WOrld of Warcraft shortcut in the PlayOnLinux window -> select configure -> on the arguments box add
-opengl
Start wow.
-----
If that helps then we're on the right track. If not I have a few other things we can do to make it all work. Intel can be about as wacky as ATI at times with running wow. Just reply back and we'll keep working on it.

Also, when I looked at my FPS, they were at 4.
Also, I assumed it was your script settings, or PoL's - but yes, the graphic settings were already set to low. On my toon's cape, I can see the definitive lines between the color shades (as opposed to a fluid gradient). I hadn't touched anything in the setting menu. Edited by Syrinx |

okay, so we remove the -opengl from that box I talked about in my last post.
If you haven't done so already install Direct X 9
Highlight your WoW Icon -> Configure -> Install Packages tab -> select d3dx9 -> install
Once that is done start wow and see what happens.

Hey! So sorry it's taken forever to reply.
In the meantime, I did a complete uninstall/reinstall of PlayOnLinix, and using your script, re-downloaded/installed WoW:MoP.
Once that was done, I installed d3dx9
Logged in, made a test character* and I'm still at 4-7 fps.
*The face pics on the side were all a black silhouette, except for the glowing eyes (Undead).
Also, with the choppy/distorted sound issue - I've also noticed this when doing other things, like YouTube videos. The first few moments is all garbled, and then it's fine. Maybe something wrong in my sound settings?

@Syrinx that may be a possibility so far as sound. I am looking into more performance issues that I can handle with the installer.
@joshuabeatdown the isntaller freezes or does it crash out?

Flat out fails for me, on BodhiLinux 2.0 (Based on Ubuntu 12.04), I have the dvd media mounted with "mount -o exec /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom" and after choosing the installer, it crashes with an error stating:
"Failed to extract required files from an archive. Please try again.
Please click the link below for more information or contact Customer Support if the problem persists.
Error code: BLZPTS00008"
The error code takes you to: https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/BLZPTS00008
So what am I doing wrong, or what is broken here?

That is strange, I've done the CD's and it worked well enough.
Though are you sudo mounting it. Do the same command but start it with sudo, tell me the results.

sorry, I was using sudo to fire off the mount in the first place.
Same issue whether I attempt to install from a sudo mount, or a userspace mount

Worst case the script does support the digital downloader from Bliz.
