I wrote this script on Ubuntu 12.04, however I think it should work on Mac also, I'd like someone to test it out if they could. I already submitted it and am waiting for a signature, but did not check the box for mac because I really don't know if it will work, and I have just updated it to fix a bug I noticed. it now seems to work flawlessly.

NOTE TO USERS WITH UBUNTU UNITY: This actually applies to ALL full screen wine apps, but before running the game, press Alt+F2 to bring up a command launcher and type 'gnome-shell --replace' (without the quotes), wait for it to change to gnome shell, then run the game. When you are done with the game/full screen wine app, press Alt+F2 again and run 'setsid unity'. You could use 'unity --replace', but 'setsid unity' works better from my experience.

Description
Command And Conquer Tiberian Dawn is a real-time strategy-combat game developed by Westwood Studios. Focusing on the global conflict between the fictional Global Defense Initiative and Brotherhood of Nod organizations, Tiberian Dawn puts the player in complete charge of fast paced military operations utilizing a wide variety of troops, ground vehicles, base installations, air strikes, and production facilities.

This is the classic Command And Conquer, patched by Nyerguds to work with Windows XP (and Wine :P).

I should also note I will be attempting to make scripts for all C&C games not currently on the site, the next will be Command And Conquer : Red Alert, which EA also released as freeware :D However I can't promise a time line for when I make them, it depends on when I have time.

I just updated the script to follow the guidelines better, I believe I am totally following the guidelines now, if anyone sees any problems with my script please let me know, I don't want to work on any new scripts until my first one is 100% correct. There are some things I don't follow on purpose, because I can't, like the way I handle downloads, I added comments explaining why we need to handle them this way.

I can personally say this script works perfectly fine. Thanks for your effort! Off to play some retro games

So is there something I need to do for this script to be validated or something? Do you not like the download links I have? They are more reliable than mediafire, but is it because the downloads open in the web browser? Just let me know and I'll try to fix whatever it is that's keeping this from being validated and added to Playonlinux.

Hi!

Thanks,
works as expected, OS X 10.9.2 PlayOnMac 4.2.2
