Hello.
I just wondered if the only documentation about POL is the one under the "Documentation"-link at the top of this page. Do I have to read sourcecode to be able to find all the functions?
In some scripts you install DirectX 9 with this super-mega-hidden function:
POL_Call POL_Install_d3dx9_aug2009 I couldn't find a word about it in the script functions reference. Too bad it is so well hidden when it could save ya' so much work.
Is there any else awesome feature I've missed?
Anything not mentioned in the reference?
Oh and by the way, why is there an empty folder called "ressources" in my .PlayOnLinux folder? Gets re-created if I removes it..
I seriously thinks POL needs a Wiki so we could gather some information for newcomers to use.

I guess this is an old version? Or is it an alternative/easier version?

I think it's complete documentation.

It's Tinou's next and latest invention to integrate winetricks with POL and to have cleaner code. It appeared after writing documentation, that's why you can't find it there. These functions can be founded here. After introducing these functions winetricks shouldn't be used in scripts anymore

I don't think so, but there is an Easter egg in POL

It's the folder where all downloaded files should be stored. If the script requests a file then it checks first if it's in resources and if not then it downloads it. It's pure save of time and bandwidth.

I think it's really outdated and someone should clean that up from internet.

Since I got my question answered so good in this thread I thought I should keep 'em here.
I can use POL_Call POL_Install_d3dx9_aug2009 to install Direct3D 9 easy, is there any installer for nVidia's PhysX? And if I want to install WMP10 (which is in the repository), how do I call that installer?

No there is no installer for PhysX. The easiest way to install it is winetricks but you may be enforced to write POL Function which installs PhysX because Tinou banns winetricks.
Citation de Dr Phil: And if I want to install WMP10 (which is in the repository), how do I call that installer? You can only call scripts which are in functions section.
