Wine version : 1.1.23
Distribution : Fedora
Distribution Version : 11 (32 bit)
Graphics card : Nvidia, GeForce 9xxx
Drivers of the graphics card : 185.18.14
Icon for the game:
For script go here Editado por: NSLW

Hi NSLW,
I've got a suggestion for your script: I see that it depends on icoutils which isn't a dependency of POL itself. So shouldn't you add the check_one and POL_SetupWindow_missing couple of commands to warn the user if the icoutils aren't installed ?
Bye

Hi Ghostofkendo,
wouldn't that check cause installation break?
I don't want to stop installation just because iconutils is required for extracting icon and if there is no iconutils then the only result will be not having nice icon for the game

Indeed, using these commands would stop the installation if icoutils aren't installed.
Since you'd prefer to avoid quitting the installation only for that, I would suggest to just add a little warning message at the beginning, telling the user to install these utils before running the script if he wants the icon.

Thanks :) Already done that.

Just a last little note: in your warning message, you wrote "iconutils" instead of "icoutils" ;-) Editado por: Ghostofkendo

Indeed :p Thanks for pointing that out.

Just tried this script, the installation works (although it seems to crash after it's finished). It then asks if I'd like to patch, it downloads the patch then the patch gives a crash message of it's own - "NotImplementedException Not Implemented".
I'm guessing patching worked at the time this script was written?

At the time the script was written I used Wine 1.1.23. Script uses Wine 1.1.40 which may contain regressions which may cause your errors. You can change the script so it will use Wine 1.1.23 again. You must change
CHOSENWINEVERSION="$LATESTVERSION"
to
CHOSENWINEVERSION="1.1.23"
I won't do it for now because there is successful test report in AppDB for Wine 1.1.40.

I had some difficulty with this installation. The Patch was causing the screen to go black, so I reinstalled without it. Then I had problems with the audio. Sound was fine through the logos and then disappeared with the intro movie. I corrected the issue by running winecfg against the wine prefix. As soon as winecfg opened, it complained about missing an audio config (...sorry about the vagueness, didn't think to record the dialog). It then helpfully offered to correct the gap. I said yes and then exited without changing any parameters. Game now works.

I installed Supreme Commander and I can play it, but if I change the resolution or try to patch it I get a black screen when I load the game. I tried changing the script so that it uses the version of wine it was written for and it still does the same thing. I'm running SUSE 11.3 64 bit with KDE 4.6 and I've tried letting playonlinux do it's automatic update and downloading the patch and telling it where it is.
I also have not been able to play Forged Alliance. It will install but won't load when I try to play it.
Thanks

I just tried your script (first time POL user, but unix admin veteran of many, possibly too many seasons ;-) and I couldn't enter the DVD code because of the font size bug (POL had installed the mscorefonts though), weird.
All the best, hoover
