Have the devs listened to my prayers?

It seems ryzom has become even more linux friendly in the week I've been gone, with the client now updating itself automatically. Is this the devs doing, has wine 0.9.31 rerouted ryzom's patch commands properly, or have I accidently stumbled on a special setting in wine?

By the way, updated installer sort of, it includes a readme file now and is a bit cleaner. If people would please tell me whether it works or not I could get to work on a more friendly version.

Thank you for making that installer, Maryen.

Aye, thankyou for the installer script, maryen . I'll post detailed feedback on the long-standing linux thread.

didnt run it, but seems to work.
only one thing you may want to change "~/.wine/drive_c" to "~/.wine/dosdevices/c:" as thats they path wine is taking to find C drive (and at least for me, it's not under ~/.wine/drive_c

in friendlyer version , check wget's exit code, allow user to put in location where to download that installer (and if it's there, allow user to overwrite/resume or use already donwloaded one). and maybe use makeself ?

great work so far

actually i've got a new version up, I changed the directories for the generic installer like you suggested. http://rapidshare.com/files/18190776/Rally_v1.1.tar.gz

As for the wget stuff, i'm not entirely sure how to do that yet, but I'll look it up. I've added a way for you to use a installer you've already downloaded, rather than having the script download a whole new one. Any suggestions are very welcome.

This new installer has an ubuntu mode added to it, to install on Ubuntu Edgy systems. It doesn't do much right now (installs wine 0.9.30 for the installation part of the script, then installs 0.9.31 for the user to run the game.) Next version, the Ubuntu installer will have the patch ryzom command removed from it, because ryzom is now patching itself properly on wine 0.9.31, hopefully this is an act of the devs .

The new installer acts more like a regular bash command.

The format is 'sh rally.sh [install/uninstall/--help] {tags}

These are the tags:

--no-download : tells the script to use the installer located in your scripts folder, rather than downloading a new one.
--no-delete-installer : tells the script not to delete the downloaded client installer at the end.
--ubuntu : uses distribution specific commands for ubuntu to get and install the versions of wine necessary. Will do even more than generic install later.
--current-wine : tells the script to use the current version of wine installed rather than downloading and installing a preferred version. Only matters when used with the --ubuntu tag.

thanks to katriell for the guide which this is based off of!
