Message to the scripters and future scripters: Seeking icons for the games
Sunday 4 May 2008 at 14:55 (0 comment(s))
Hello everybody,
Since last versions, we included in "Install" a scripted games' list with icons.
But since we don't own every game, we need you, our POLian friends, to extract the games' icons in order to complete the list and make PlayOnLinux more convivial.
If you want to help us, get icons from the CDs only (you can extract them from the .exe files). Once it's done, follow these instructions (which will save a lot of our time) :
Once done, host them as you can and send us the link (to Tinou or Zoloom) .
Thank you to send icons of yet scripted games only
Thanks all for your help!
PS: We are also seeking screenshots of your favorite games (yet scripted of course) of seize 200x150, as well as a small description of the game (in English).
Thanks once again,
Have a good day with PlayOnLinux

Citation:
- Seize 22x22 (reduce the icon if necessary)
- The format doesn't matter
- The icon's name must be exactly the same as the script's (example: Age Of Empires 2 : The Age of kings)
Once done, host them as you can and send us the link (to Tinou or Zoloom)
.

Hello,
Here is a news to announce the creation of a new plugin for PlayOnLinux: Wine Import.
It allows you to import the Wine's prefix into PlayOnLinux in order to add (in PlayOnLinux) your applications previously installed.
To test it, go to the download page :-)

Problem with PlayOnLinux 2.7 and the Ubuntu/Debian repository
Friday 2 May 2008 at 14:16 (1 comment(s))
Hello,
It seems that our script for the repository added a development version of PlayOnLinux under the name of 2.7 version.
PlayOnLinux couldn't run. In order to avoid any problems, we released a stable and functional 2.7.1 version for everybody (not only Ubuntu/Debian users).
Sorry for the users that yet did the update to 2.7 and sorry for the PlayOnLinux's packagers
Have a good day

PlayOnLinux 2.7
Friday 2 May 2008 at 0:20 (0 comment(s))
As planned, here is the PlayOnLinux's 2.7 version
What's new:
The plugins manger will allow you to add features to PlayOnLinux such as scripting ones. You will find some plugins on the download page. .pol is the plugins' format.
Any member who knows the PlayOnLinux's script language (feel free to read the documentation, available in English since few days, in order to discover this language) can create a .pol package (which can be both an offline game installer or a plugin).
If they interest us, they can become official.
Existing scripts at this day:
Script Creator, by Zoloom, version 0.2
Dosbox support, by Tinou, version 0.1
Wine Look, by Tinou, version 0.1
So the .deb packages don't exist anymore and are now incompatible with PlayOnLinux
Note: Think to enable a plugin after installing it.
- A proper and up-to-date changelog
- Big bugs fixed for the languages different from French and English
- The main interface's menus allow to access directly to each different tabs of the options menu
- Colors are back in the IRC chat
Good evening

- The main interface's menus allow to access directly to each different tabs of the options menu
- Colors are back in the IRC chat
PlayOnLinux 0.2: thanks Zoloom
Here is his news:Citation de Zoloom:
Hello everybody,
The POLScriptCreator's 0.2 version is out, in late (because of exams) but better late than never. I announced it as a major version, it's more or less true. It implements the first version of the assistant, which allows you to really make a script without knowing anything to bash.
The assistant
This assistant is going to be more "design" and more complete (tab system, more options, etc...) in a near future. It's currently able to create scripts to install a game with CD(s), with a client to be downloaded on the net as well as with a installer stored localy, on your hard drive. It's usable but remains still perfectible.
What's new
- When saving your script, the default directory is now your home directory (i.e /home/user) instead of the path to POLSC.
- The functions' windows disappear when the function is added the the source code.
- "Total steps number" field added for the "presentation" function
- Generally, the different windows' sizes were enlarged
- A new system for files opening (faster and more respectfull of the encodage)
- The online help links to the new scripters' documentation
- The "new script" assistant
- Undo/Do again function added but not yet very powerful
I need your opinions about the assistant (things to add, to fix) it will help me to know what the scripters want precisely.
Thank you for your fidelity,
Have a good day on PlayOnLinux

PlayOnLinux 2.6.1
Monday 28 April 2008 at 23:42 (0 comment(s))
PlayOnLinux have been released some new version of PlayOnLinux without writting news on the English web site, we are sorry 
This is not a change log yet, but Tinou is currently writting one.
This is a summary of change since last news.
So since the version 2.2.1 :
In the 2.3 we have rewritten the setup window and some bug were corrected.
2.5 & 2.5.1: it's the first integration of an IRC client in PlayOnLinux
The web navigator lynx is replaced by some lines in python (thanks Diablo150)
Russian translation improved
And ... some bug fixed.
2.6 & 2.6.1: it's a implementation of colourized nickname in IRC, and a reverse change for security. In an other word the 2.6 make a colour of each nickname in IRC and due to a vulnerability this function was removed (nickname with | .
Some novelty in the IRC client (such as date, sound, colour, stability ...)
The option panel has been remade.
PlayOnLinux is pretty easier to configure. You can enable a lot of new settings (such as Offline mode, Default web browser, auto-login into IRC, default pseudo for IRC)
The about box has been remade.
You can download the last package build for your distro on the download page.
http://www.playonlinux.com/en/download.html
Information for Mandriva and Fedora user :
The rpm package for mandriva and fedora was in version 2.5.1 for a least one week, I have break my computer (not serious but I can't currently build package).

PlayOnLinux's localization: Looking for some help
Wednesday 16 April 2008 at 17:03 (5 comment(s))
After the French, the Spanish and the Polish, we are going to open new localized sections of PlayOnLinux's website.
In order to do it quick but well, we are looking for some motivated peoples who would help us to translate the website and/or moderate the future new localized forums.
About these next localizations, the main ones we would like to add are:
- Russian
- Italian
- Japanese (Yes, you read well, even Japanese, nothing could afraid us
)
- German
But other languages aren't impossible, such as:
- Portuguese
- Chinese
- Swedish
- Czech
- Dutch
- etc
For instance, an Hungarian-speaking section is already started and should be opened soon.
So, if you speak fluently one of these languages and English (or French at worst), and if you want to participate to PlayOnLinux, to help Linux's users to play Windows games or just to take part to a great international project, feel free to contact us.

Coming soon: PlayOnLinux's documentation
Monday 14 April 2008 at 19:20 (0 comment(s))
Hello,
You maybe yet noticed the new section in the main menu at the top of the page?
You aren't dreaming, awaited for months, the PlayOnLinux's documentation was released yesterday. Sadly available in French only for the moment.
But don't worry, the English version won't last. So, this week end, you should be able to write POL's scripts for your games independently of your previous Linux, bash or Wine knowledges' level
Keep an eye on the news during the week.
