Wrote my first install script for PlayOnLinux

I like to play games once in a while, but I don’t have Windows.
So like many other Linux gamers, I use Wine, but I like to have an overlay to keep things neat and organized, and thus I use PlayOnLinux.
PlayOnLinux comes with installation scripts so that the games will work right away without me having to fiddle around with a bunch of hacks to get it working, but as it turns out, the game I wanted to play (Civilization IV: Complete Edition) didn’t have an installation script that worked, so I decided to write my own and try to get it approved by the people at PlayOnLinux, and thus added to the software list of approved and signed scripts

It hasn’t been approved yet, but it’s getting there.
This is the script so far (fully working in this state).

Go to the link below for the newest development info
http://www.playonlinux.com/en/topic-10740.html

Another interesting thing to note, is that I am hosting the Civ IV patches myself that the script is downloading and installing, since I want to make sure that it’s always being hosted on a fast connection for everyone to use.

If anyone else need the patches for use outside of this script, you can download them below

Civilization IV Patch 1.74
Civilization IV – Warlords Patch 2.13
Civilization IV – Beyond The Sword Patch 3.19
