A couple of things:

I would strongly recommend delcaring and using a WINEVERSION. There is really no reason not to, and it will make sure that the game works on as many systems as possible. Check out some other scripts and you will see. It takes only a couple of minutes to add it in and test. I cringe when I see scripts without that. hahaha. :)

Also, exit should be followed by a 0 like:

exit 0

You also need to add eval_gettext for translation purposes to user-facing messages. Check out the Wiki's scripting documentation for more information:

Hi,

In addition to what Ronin said,

- Your script lacks POL_Debug_Init to activate embedded debugger support;

- Before POL_SetupWindow_browse it's recommended to use cd "$HOME" or just cd for short, to set the default browsing directory; That's just an extra safety, because sometimes you can be surprized by the default directory...

- POL_SetupWindow_wait "Please wait" "$TITLE" is probably useless, because POL_Wine_PrefixCreate, which is the next statement taking some time, will already display a waiting message and override yours;

- POL_Wine start /unix "$APP_ANSWER" avoid start /unix if you can. See the lengthy explanation in the Wiki;

- POL_Shortcut_Document "$TITLE" "$PREFIX/Matrix Games/Close Combat III/Manuals/MANUAL.PDF"

I doubt this path is correct, if the game installs below "Matrix Games", the parent directory should be "drive_c", not "$PREFIX". In any case, while the POL_Shortcut_Document semantics should be better defined in future versions of PlayOnLinux, for the time being I suggest using absolute paths to remove any ambiguity, so most likely "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Matrix Games/..."

Regards,

Pierre

Please use the standardized translation key in this case:

POL_Wine_PrefixCreate

If you want to enforce the use of a specific version of Wine, you must pass the version to POL_Wine_PrefixCreate:

POL_Wine_PrefixCreate "$WINEVERSION"

That's all for me, with those changes I think your script can be added to the repository :)
