Ok, so because a troubleshooting attempt earlier, I saw that this script is painfully out of date, and most of the POL commands are no longer used. I decided to write a new script.

This script works GREAT on Linux. Like, everything works. And I get a super clean game, as well. It really does run smooth. 

Mac, however, I cannot fully test. Here is the thing:

When I check code quality, it says that there are errors, but when I run the script checker, I get:

So I think its good, and that the script checker on the site is giving a false positive.

Here are some of the Icon resources. I only have 2. I dont have time to make left.jpg right now, but Im sure that we could totally re-use left. and top. from the old rFactor script.

petch - would you be able to help facilitate this? I dont have FTP access. :)

I think code quality is computed only once a day, sadly (http://www.playonlinux.com/en/issue-1925.html)

But if you want an old school manual review:
$TITLE doesn't match script name, which will break bug reporting. I'm not sure + is allowed in script names either, see how Notepad++ script is called "Notepad", mmmh...

ok. can you make that change for me real quick? Im just getting ready to step away from the computer, and will only be available via wifi on my phone. :)

Ill make sure to keep that in mind for later on.

Called it "rFactor 12", to avoid name collision with existing script

I tried the install script on the mac. The demo works ok but I can't activate the full version.

Here is what I did during installation:

TOBe - Hey. Dont copy, and paste your response from your bug report to the forums. One or the other. :)

Like I stated in your bug report, this has to be your computer not opening up your web browser, because I could do it absolutely fine.

Also, you know you can just go to their site and activate, without even clicking the ACTIVATE button in the games menu?

BUT, that notwithstanding, I simply clicked it and it came up. Can you install chrome and check to see if it pulls it up in there?

Even though I couldnt test the game, your original issue was that you couldnt click the activation screen. Since I created the script, this is possible, at least for me.

Try to install chrome, just to test it to see if it opens. It should with no issues. If it does it with chrome and not safari, then there must be a problem with the way its making calls to the web browser of the system.

Sorry, about the double post.

As before the purchase button opens up the browser (safari, chrome and firefox) just fine, but the activate button does nothing. I also tried with chrome and firefox as the system default browser as well without luck.

Could you point me to the site where I can activate, I'd be happy to do so if it worked.

Thanks heaps for your assistance.

Can you post a screenshot of the screen that shows the activate button? I think we are getting confused on which screen we are talking about. hahaha.

But yeah. post a screen shot of that window with the activate button so I can see if we are even looking at the same thing.

It's basicly this dialog I am refering to: http://rfactor.net/web/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/launcher-300x144.png

Ok. Thats the one that I was talking about. Let me test it out a little bit more, and I will report back later. :)

Thanks for doing that. It cleared up a few things for me. Wrong screen.

Allright. Let me know if there is anything I can do.
