wisotool 20100530 has been released

Dan Kegel today released wisotool 20100530.

wisotool is a handy winetricks-like script for automatically installing games from .iso or .mds files copied from your own dvds (or, if the game is freely downloadable, it will download it). Just like winetricks, it is intended to make testing Wine easier, but might be useful for people who simply want to install games. Unlike winetricks, wisotool is quiet by default; it doesnt ask any questions (except, for now, it prompts for the root password so it can mount the .iso file; later it will use fuse instead).

Wisotool currently supports 60 games and/or benchmarks (see list below). Please consider contributing support for your favorite game, its not (too) hard. Im especially interested in recent or beta games; ideally wisotool would support (worthwhile) games on the day they are released.

Changelog :

  • Added new verb half_life_goty (Half Life: Game of the Year edition)
  • Add draft verb codmw2 (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2)

  • Remove helper macros from Morrowind, use button names instead of text to internationalize

Pseudopackages:
load Load a disc into the iso cache
load=KEY Load a disc with given key; only works from commandline at moment
------------------------------------------------------
If the game is not marked with {download} or {loaded} in the menu,
you have to insert its disc and give the 'load' command before you can
choose that game in the menu. If the game has multiple discs, you have
to do this for each disc.
------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------
If the game has an install key, you have to enter that when loading the
first disc. (You have to do that from the commandline, e.g. sh wisotool
load=XXXX-YYYY-ZZZZ.)
