Hi everybody!

After more than 300 lines of code, more than 1 week of work, we are happy to announce that you can now make a custom Wine build and allow other members of the PlayOnLinux community to benefit from it.


Why we offer this kind of service
At least two reasons. This has been requested for a long time and... even if the Wine team improves performance on each new release, for some games/software you have to use a version of Wine which was compiled with some patches (e.g.: Command and Conquer 3 Kane Edition was available in PlayOnLinux long before it was fully supported by Wine. And for this game, we had been using a patched Wine, but in the past it was really hard to implement this in PoL).


Another nice piece of information is that every registered user on this site can make a request for free!


So I'm sure that you've now only one question, "where I can post my request?"
Well, wait just a second because all remaining information is on the forum, here!

Hello,

I have the pleasure to announce you that the script for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is operational and finally available on PlayOnLinux.

For reminder, the history of this game takes place 5 years after the first opus with one Russia in full civil war and the American invasion in Afghanistan.
You will go to fight under the features of three characters different as Gary " Roach " Sanderson, Joseph Allen and James Ramirez.

HI everybody

Today, a new plugin for your favourite software is available. This plugin will allows you to install all PlayOnLinux scripts without internet access !
Indeed, we had worked on numerous solutions for people who don't have internet on their computer. But these solution was partial, they were efficient only for a few scripts

Never the less, Internet access is still needed for downloading wine version

But how does it work ?

For the beginers

You just need to download the plugin here:
http://www.playonlinux.com/script_files/plugins/OfflinePlayOnLinux_0.1.pol
Then, use PlayOnLinux settings menu to install it and configure it in beginers mode
This method is easy, but you will need to have at least an access to the internet to download all our scripts.

For the advanced users

You can run your own PlayOnLinux scripts server
This server can be used for your own computer, or to share scripts through a whole network, without having access to the internet. It works on all python-compatible operating system. I tested it on Linux and Mac OS X

To install PlayOnLinux scripts server, download both of the following files
http://repository.playonlinux.com/PlayOnLinux_Server.tar.gz
http://repository.playonlinux.com/PlayOnLinux_Scripts.tar.gz

The first archive contains the scripts server, the second contains all our script database. It is updated everyday.
You have to extract these file in the same directory

Then, run the server by typing the following command in a terminal

If all is ok, you should read

To ensure that the server is well running, browse http://localhost:8050/. The message PlayOnLinux Server is running ! should appear, confirming you that the server is running

The next step is to install Offline PlayOnLinux on all the clients. Use the expert mode. This mod will allow you to specify another adress than the official script server (http://repository.playonlinux.com)

Don't hesitate to contact me if you need help to configure this tool

Hi everybody,

After being away for month, I'm back and I decided to strike hard for my return. Now, PlayOnLinux has StarCraft II Wings or Liberty script in his repository.

StarCraft II : Wings of Liberty features the first of three fully featured single-player campaigns, kicking things off with the terrans. Humanity's representatives in the Koprulu sector have been through a lot since they first left Earth centuries ago and have adapted to a variety of hardships while subjected to dictatorial rule, zerg invasion, and protoss cleansing. Despite these struggles, they’ve still managed to cultivate heroes, advance their technology, and-- most importantly -- survive.

Hi everybody,

Today, PlayOnLinux open its bug trackers

Some indications

- It supports differents projects (PlayOnLinux software, website, scripts)
- It is designed to work with the scripts. PlayOnLinux might have a crash manager integrated to this bug tracker in the future
- No need to re-register if you have an account on PlayOnLinux' website
- Every language are allowed. However, you will get a better support in French or in English

Why do we code our own Bug Tracker

I spent time searching an adapted bug tracker. I wanted it to be integrable to the website (for the scripts, and to allows members to have a single account). Redmine was pretty adapted, but it's coded in ruby, so it is difficult to install on debian, and it needs new apache extensions which take resources
For the moment, the bug tracker is simple, but it might be enough for a start
