Worms Reloaded now on PlayOnLinux

Sunday 19 September 2010 at 19:30

Good evening,

Worms Reloaded is the return of the world's most famous worms on PC. Same concept as ever: a few teams of crazed worm fighters give it all they've got in various arenas using a set of ridiculously powerful weapons. Learn to deal with the wind and the various obstacles standing between your target and yourself and join a fight of tactics and randomness.

Spam mail

Sunday 5 September 2010 at 23:03

Hi everybody!

Friday an evil user used the private message feature to send spam to more than 900 users.
Because we automatically send an e-mail (unless you have unchecked this setting in your profile) to inform you about your incoming private messages, you received an e-mail.

This user was banned for life on the same day, but this was just a "quick fix".
So last weekend, we worked hard to implement an antispam/flood system efficiently.
If someone wants to do this again, they will be automatically banned for one day after a few e-mails.


We are really sorry for this spam message and we hope that this doesn't happen again.

Sincerely,
The PlayOnLinux Team

2 Ubisoft games available

Friday 3 September 2010 at 23:16

Hi everybody,

Tonight, I bring you two great games: Assassin's Creed 2 and Prince of Persia - The Forgotten Sands.

Assassin's Creed 2:
The game is set in the 21st century, with player-controlled protagonist Desmond Miles escaping from Abstergo Industries with an employee, Lucy Stillman, after being forced to relive the genetic memories of ancestral assassin Altaïr ibn La-Ahad through a machine known as the "Animus". After escaping from Abstergo, Desmond enters a device which is more advanced than the original Animus, the Animus 2.0, and relives the genetic memories of ancestral nobleman Ezio Auditore da Firenze, who lived during the Renaissance period of the late 15th century in Italy.

PlayOnLinux 3.8.1 is available!

Friday 3 September 2010 at 15:10

Hi everybody!

PlayOnLinux 3.8.1 was released this morning.
[box title=New_PlayOnLinux_logo]https://www.playonmac.com/images/uploads/31.jpg[/box]


What's changed in the new release?


Bugs #30 and #31 were fixed.
Function introduced with PoL 3.7.7, for auto_shortcut was buggy in last release, now fixed.
Full rewrite of an internal function that installs a plugin shipped with PoL automatically on startup.
Plugin Capture was updated with the last version (2.1.1).
Translation was updated with the last available on Launchpad (synced the 2010-09-02).
And finally new tools appeared, playonlinux-cmd.

About translation


Many thanks for all translators, I don't know how to export the nicknames of people that made translations on Launchpad. With your help PlayOnLinux is now translated in a least 3 new languages such as Korean, Czech, Turkish...
You can continue to help by translating, the next release will be synced with the latest translations.

What is playonlinux-cmd?


This is a new tool to manage PlayOnLinux in scripts, this was requested on the bug tracker as a feature... and this tool is not yet fully finished.
Currently you can ask for an update of the script database, run already installed software and start the installation of an application.
There are some known bugs that I discovered just after releasing PoL 3.8.1. Currently you can't use this software if you have never run PlayOnLinux before (will be fixed in next release).
To force an update: playonlinux-cmd --update
To start an installation: playonlinux-cmd --start-install 'Sofware'
To run already installed sofware: playonlinux-cmd --run 'Software'

Please note that --start-install doesn't install silently but just directly opens the graphical GUI for the software that you request, so you always need to answer prompts.


We advise you update your PlayOnLinux version.

Capture 2: Record your software with PlayOnLinux

Friday 27 August 2010 at 22:03

Hi!

This new release of Capture comes with only one change: You can now record your software even if it isn't in OpenGL!
To use this new feature, a choice is offered when you start the plugin, then you have to choose what software to record. Recording starts automatically after five seconds. To stop capture, press SHIFT+F8.

This is an example:

This plugin is available in the Downloads section.

Note:
There is no sound when capturing and you get Theora/Vorbis files. You can add the PlayOnLinux logo like OpenGL capture.

Help PlayOnLinux by translating it to your own language!

Wednesday 25 August 2010 at 16:05

Hi all!

With the opening of the git repository, we have other great news!

You can help the project by translating strings displayed within PlayOnLinux to your language, and you can also review strings that have already been translated.

To translate, go to our translation page: https://translations.launchpad.net/playonlinux.
Note that a Launchpad account is needed.

Then, all your modifications will be imported into the main git repository before each new release.

EDIT: I've changed the name of the .po file (what you translate) on the git. So please wait a moment before translating. We need to wait for a sync with launchpad; it will happen in a few hours.

Apologies,
MulX

EDIT #2: Fixed, you can continue translating.
