Hello everyone!

Two of the members have seen their ranks being modified:

Berillions

Although Berillions got the scriptwriter status for a few days, the related announcement hasn't been made yet. It is done now :-)
A great thank to him.

MulX

For everything he has done for PlayOnLinux since the beginning of the project, MulX just got the administrator status. This status is mostly symbolic because he already had administrator privileges for quite some time.
MulX is the one to be contacted if there is a problem and I'm not available, since he has almost the same access rights than me.

Congratulations to you two!

Hello everyone!

Those of you who wander the forum may have noticed topics about several scripts for Steam games. The scripts were in test stage for a long time but are now ready for daily use. These scripts configure the following games:

- Half-Life 2
- Half-Life 2: Episode 1
- Half-Life 2: Episode 2
- Half-Life 2: Lost Coast
- Portal
- Team Fortress 2
- Counter Strike: Source

This last script is only an update of the previously available script for Counter Strike : Source with, in addition, a few bug fixes.
Compared to a standard installation, these Steam scripts bring an even easier installation as well as better performances, because we did select the best suited version of Wine for each game.

I want to thank in particular Obi1-46 for his graphic work (that you can see in the installers) as well as BlondVador, Panzer, Obi1-46 (one more time) and everybody else for their very exhaustive tests that allowed me to improve the scripts, and NSLW for pointing out a careless mistake of mine.

From now on, you will find these scripts directly in PlayOnLinux's "Install" menu.

A few screenshots:


Have fun .

Hi,
     
To answer the many questions, assumptions, questioning.

Yes the server that hosts the Wine versions for PlayOnLinux and DirectX (and some other files) is offline and you are getting this message "Wine packages website is unavailable".

We are currently looking for a solution to this problem and hope to return as soon as possible to normal.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

EDIT by Tinou : The problem will be solved very soon. Please be patient.

Following a change of environment building packages for Wine WineVersion, this versions have been updated:
- Wine 1.1.27
- Wine 1.1.28
- Wine 1.1.29

This update concerns the support of the GSM library, which is an audio compressor.
Unless you want to use this functionality in these versions of Wine, you do not need to re-install.


Wine version 1.1.29 (and probably the following) (will) uses the external library (libmpg123) to decode mp3 files (from changelog and configure script).
This library is not currently available in the build environment used.
Support decoding of mp3 files will probably may no longer work.
The installation of this library involves a loss of compatibility with distributions released before 2008 (Mandriva 2008.0 for example). Currently all distributions out since 2006 are compatible.

If the lack of MP3 support is a problem, unsupport certain distribution is also a problem. So I choose the support a maximum of distribution and leaves mp3 not supported
If he really need the mp3, there will be 2 packages, one with mp3 support but limited in distribution and package without supporting mp3 but working on more distribution

PLEASE: Run this program in console and paste the output here with the entire name of your distribution (only if nobody have post for your distribution, or if it's not the same output).
http://mulx.homelinux.net/pol/version.bin (binary (chmod +x version.bin && ./version.bin))
http://mulx.homelinux.net/pol/version.c (source code)

Thanks.

UPDATE: Ok thanks for every people that post their libc version provide by their distribution. You can always post, but I have found that I search.

What changes does Wine 1.1.29 (What is Wine?), the latest development version, bring about:

- Improved Gecko integration by using Wine's network layers.
- Use of external libmpg123 for mp3 decoding.
- Support for JPEG and PNG formats in WindowsCodecs.
- Many regression test fixes for Win64 and Windows 7.
