The amount of support work multiplies by a lot when you have so many game wrappers.

They can be split in generic and specific parts probably.

The workload was greatly reduced by moving all major functions into winewrap.shlib - changes there only need to be made once, and then I can apply it to all wrappers with a single command. Aside from that, I have a set of scripts to speed things up even more, whether it's updating start scripts or documentation or whatever. Also 'sed' is very useful for things like that :p

The biggest hassle now when updating everything is having to go over all of the release posts with the new file sizes/SHA256 hashes/update info. I have a script to take care of much of that too but it's still a lot of copy+pasting... I'm tempted to move all the file size/checksum info into a single post to make it easier.

You can replace it with Gitlab (wiki or pages), and just keep links to there from the posts here. Manually editing the forum is way too tedious.

I agree with shmerl on this one, be it GitLab, a personal website or anything like this, it will be easier to maintain as the collection of supported games keep growing.

Indeed and keep in mind that when GOG overhauls the forum, all posts might go the way of the old PNs too.

I am planning to eventually move it all somewhere else, both for ease of updating & because I'm thinking of creating wrappers for more than just GOG games. Don't know when that'll be though.

How exactly do you use these? I mean, I need a step by step as I am a luddite.

Simply put the game installer files alongside the wrapper files in one directory, then run the <game>_wine.sh script (preferably from the terminal so you can see when it's done & if any errors occur).

When it's done there will be a directory containing the game, wine, prefix and a start script - you can then simply run the start script to play. More information can be found in the release notes in the wrapper's "docs" directory.

Are you going to do The Longest Journey? That one is hard to get to work right. Really hard.

Can you put up a video of the entire process? I am really uncomfortable with this without knowing what it will look like.

I cannot enter your GOGmix "adamhm's Linux Wine wrappers", for some reason GOG gives me Error 404, not found.

Yeah, I didn't notice that until recently.

All wrappers have received another framework update. Also, all wrappers using Proton (MOHPA, Risen 3, Saints Row 3, Saints Row 4, Sam & Max series, Shadow Warrior 2, Still Life, Total Annihilation, The Witcher 3) have been updated to use Proton 3.16-3.

In addition there are a couple of special releases today:


GOGWrap generic Wine wrapper

SteamPlay Menu

Edit: The current versions of both of these can now be found here
