## Scripts description



These scripts are intended to simplify packing, launching and distributing

Windows games and programs using Wine. In other words, these scripts are for 

creating portable Wine applications. But they also can be used for other purposes. 

These scripts will work on all Linux distributions with GNU standard utilities and bash 

shell installed.



## start.sh script description



All script settings (variables) are in the settings_run file.



To change prefix architecture to 32-bit change PREFIX_ARCH variable

to win32 in settings_run file.



Script can be launched with --debug parameter to enable more output. This

helps in finding problems when application not working.



Script automatically uses system Wine if there is no wine directory

near the script or if GLIBC version in the system is older than 2.23.



Script automatically creates new prefix during first run and it uses

files from game_info directory. Script is not inteded to work with

already created prefixes.



Script creates documents directory to store games settings and saves.

And so removing prefix will not affect game saves/settings most of the time.



Script automatically recreates prefix if username or Wine versions changes.



Settings file name and game_info.txt name depends on script name.

For example, if script is named start-addon.sh then it will use

settings_start-addon file and game_info-start-addon.txt file if it exists.

If there is not game_info-scriptname.txt file then script will use standard

game_info.txt file. So you can make copies of start.sh script with different

name and they will use different settings and can launch different exe

files.



## tools.sh script description



Tools.sh script can be launched with these arguments:



	--cfg - run winecfg

	--reg - run regedit

	--tricks - if used without additional arguments then run winetricks GUI.

		It can also be used with additional arguments, like:

		./tools.sh --tricks d3dx9 corefonts.

	--kill - kill all running processes of specific Wine prefix

	--fm - run Wine filemanager

	--clean - remove almost all unneeded files from directory

	--icons - create application icons on Desktop and in applications menu

	-- remove-icons - remove created icons

	--help - show available arguments

### game_info



## game_info directory



This directory is required for script to work properly. At least, never

remove game_info.txt file and data directory.



Other directories and fiels are not strictly necessary and can be optionally

removed or not created.



## Directories/files description:



* game_info.txt - information about the game

* data - directory containing game files

* dlls - libraries and other files intended to put into system32 directory

* tweaks - directory containing tweaks for help to run game

* additional - specific files (for example, settings for games or fonts)

* patch - same as additional but is for system / app files

* regs - tweaks for registry

* exe - executable files in .exe (mostly, installers of different programs)

* msi - executable files in .msi but is in silent mode (mostly, installers of different programs)

* sh - scripts that will be executed during prefix creation

* icon - game icon file, tools.sh use it for desktop file



## WINETRICKS:



* winetricks_list.txt - list of components to install using winetricks



During prefix creation winetricks will automatically install all components

and apply all tweaks from winetricks_list.txt file. Write names of components

and tweaks in first line, separated by a space.



For example: d3dx9 corefonts xact dxvk win8.



If winetricks is not installed then it will be automatically downloaded.



## Directories description:



### data directory



Put game files here.



## dlls directory



Put here ibraries and other files intended to put into system32 directory



Script will automatically copy them to windows/system32 directory. And also

it will automatically override them to "Native" and will register them

using regsvr32.



You cat put here not only dlls but also files with any other extensions.



## exe directory



Put executable .exe files here (for example, installers).



Script will automatically execute all files from this directory during

prefix creation.



## msi directory



Put executable .msi files here but is in silent mode (for example, installers).



Script will automatically execute all files from this directory during

prefix creation.



## regs directory



Put registry files here.



Script will automatically import all reg files from this directory during

prefix creation.



## sh directory



Put custom shell scripts here.



Script will automatically execute all scripts from this directory

during prefix creation.



## fonts directory



Put custom fonts here.



Script will automatically import all fonts files from this directory during

prefix creation.



## sh/everytime directory



Put custom shell scripts here.



Script will automatically execute all scripts from this directory

each time the game/application launches.



## additional directory



Put any custom files/directories there. The names of directories should

be the same as the name of directories you want to copy to. For example:



The content of game_info/additional/prefix/drive_c/Windows/Fonts directory

will be copied to prefix/drive_c/Windows/Fonts directory during prefix

creation.



The content of game_info/additional/documents/Domcuments_Multilocale/My Games/Fallout4

directory will be copied to documents/Domcuments_Multilocale/My Games/Fallout4

directory during prefix creation.



## patch directory



same as additional option but that is for system copy exemple that help for rewrite registry or install app exemple PhysX.



Etc.
