Hello,

I'm just curious on how to make those bash scripts. I saw the simple tutorial for the basic structure for this on the french forums, but I realize that there are more commands that you can use on POL, than what was written.

Is there anyone who can help out in write at least a more thorough documentation for it? I don't speak french, so I have a hard time deciphering the writeups (yes, using google translate helps a lot, but it is still difficult).

Thanks

Yes, we have to do it.

It is one of the most important priority of POL.

How do you create those scritps for PlayOnLinux. I tired to make script.sh file but that didn't work. PlayOnLinux said it was the right format for the applications. I have to say though, I don't know anything about scripts. :-/

for example, I have the Oblivion script provided from this site, how would I make a script out of it for PlayOnLinux? I have tired making just a file called oblivion & oblivion.sh with gedit (text editor) *with everything from this link inside of it*
http://www.playonmac.com/en/script-47.html

and then I try to load it with PlayOnLinux, run an unoffical script, but it says it's the wrong format. Which format do I make for PlayOnLinux?


Sorry for my english,

check the begining of your script, it must begin from lines

#!/bin/bash
if [ "$PLAYONLINUX" = "" ]
then
exit 0
fi
source "$PLAYONLINUX/lib/sources"
cfg_check

please help to fix pb :(

Quote from m5it


AFAIK PlayOnLinux is only a GUI for Wine and it doesn't commit to better working Wine. You can search if there is bug for punkbuster on Bugzilla if there is, vote for it and if not, create it and then link it to AppDB Then you may have got chance that someone interested will help you to fix pb.
