Hi everybody!

I am completely new to PlayOnLinux, but in order to get most of my GOG collection up and running, I jumped right into creating my own script to install the GOG version of "Space Quest 1 - 3". I would be very happy to get a review, so I can improve on the script and hopefully get it approved! :-)

Best regards!

Hi MindLikeWater,
Well, the script is very similar to the Space Quest 4+5+6 one, so if it works (can launch the games, read the docs,..) I don't have any comment about the script ;)

Regards;
Pierre.

Ok, I submitted the script the script. But now I wonder: where and how can I upload the image files?

Hi,
I took care of pushing the gfx to the right places, and the script is now validated :)

Hey petch,

thanks alot! I am really happy, now that I have the complete Space Quest saga up and running in a neat fashion on my Linux system! :)

I just have some final questions, so I understand the whole process of writing and submitting scripts better:

1. Would there have been a way for me to upload the pictures myself through the website? Or is this a "manual" task that only team members can perform?

2. What is the correct way of updating a validated script?

3. What is the purpose of the line "POL_SetupWindow_SetID 1972" in which I had to enter the script number?

4. And finally: I wondered, would it be possible / desirable to have the installers for SQ 1 - 3 and SQ 4 - 6 to put all games into a single wine prefix, called e.g. "SpaceQuestCollection_gog"? In the sense that both installers first check if this prefix already exist, and if so, use it instead of creating a new one?

Ok, so much for that! Now I will check which other games I have around, and maybe start the next script. ;-)

Best regards!

1. Would there have been a way for me to upload the pictures myself through the website? Or is this a "manual" task that only team members can perform?

Quote from MindLikeWater

They have to be downloaded to an FTP/S server, in the right place and under the right name, this is currently a manual operation.

2. What is the correct way of updating a validated script?

Quote from MindLikeWater

The system is currently lacking, only maintainers can update validated scripts.
So one way would be to require the script to be temporarily "unsigned" so you can edit it, then re-sign it. Not very friendly to users.
Another is to post some updated version in the forum, say in this very thread, and then a maintainer (probably me) will take care of the update.

3. What is the purpose of the line "POL_SetupWindow_SetID 1972" in which I had to enter the script number?

Quote from MindLikeWater

It's a small addition, at the bottom left of the window during installation you should now see a blue (i) icon that when clicked leads to the script page. Nothing critical.

4. And finally: I wondered, would it be possible / desirable to have the installers for SQ 1 - 3 and SQ 4 - 6 to put all games into a single wine prefix, called e.g. "SpaceQuestCollection_gog"? In the sense that both installers first check if this prefix already exist, and if so, use it instead of creating a new one?

Quote from MindLikeWater

Actually the PlayOnLinux policy is rather the other way around, one prefix per program, so the prefix can be independently tweaked or removed; But since GOG bundles the games, it's not really possible to do that.

Cheers,
Pierre.
