Hello everyone!

Two of the members have seen their ranks being modified:

Berillions

Although Berillions got the scriptwriter status for a few days, the related announcement hasn't been made yet. It is done now :-)
A great thank to him.

MulX

For everything he has done for PlayOnLinux since the beginning of the project, MulX just got the administrator status. This status is mostly symbolic because he already had administrator privileges for quite some time.
MulX is the one to be contacted if there is a problem and I'm not available, since he has almost the same access rights than me.

Congratulations to you two!

Hello everyone!

Those of you who wander the forum may have noticed topics about several scripts for Steam games. The scripts were in test stage for a long time but are now ready for daily use. These scripts configure the following games:

- Half-Life 2
- Half-Life 2: Episode 1
- Half-Life 2: Episode 2
- Half-Life 2: Lost Coast
- Portal
- Team Fortress 2
- Counter Strike: Source

This last script is only an update of the previously available script for Counter Strike : Source with, in addition, a few bug fixes.
Compared to a standard installation, these Steam scripts bring an even easier installation as well as better performances, because we did select the best suited version of Wine for each game.

I want to thank in particular Obi1-46 for his graphic work (that you can see in the installers) as well as BlondVador, Panzer, Obi1-46 (one more time) and everybody else for their very exhaustive tests that allowed me to improve the scripts, and NSLW for pointing out a careless mistake of mine.

From now on, you will find these scripts directly in PlayOnLinux's "Install" menu.

A few screenshots:


Have fun .
