Wolfenstein (version 2009) is available

Tuesday 24 August 2010 at 23:29

Hi everybody,

In this game, you’ll still run the show as OSA stud B.J. Blazkowicz, but the mission stakes have been raised a great deal for Wolfenstein. Instead of only plodding along in a boring, normal dimension, Raven has built the storyline and gameplay of Wolfenstein to take part in a parallel dimension—known as the Veil—as well. In terms of the game’s story, the Veil is the key to the Nazis’ ability to make super weapons that would accelerate their bid for world dominance.

WineBuild Requests!

Wednesday 18 August 2010 at 22:57

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!

Using PlayOnLinux scripts offline or sharing scripts on a network is now possible !

Wednesday 11 August 2010 at 0:45

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.playonmac.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
python PlayOnLinux_Server.py
If all is ok, you should read
Ready to start the server ! Listening on port 8050
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
