I must be retarded because none of this is working. Granted I don't know much about computers, but I thought I had enough to do something this simple. I have the same path as you so, I don't know why it isn't working.
I think automator is my problem, not quite sure how to use it. Is this how it should look when I'm making the app?

Interesting... I've never played with Automator before. I'm still new to OSX, it's only been a few weeks since I got this macbook. So, I had approached this as I would in linux or bsd, just using the terminal. However, after looking at your screenshot and playing with Automator a bit, I think I figured out what your trying to do.

You only need to use the "Run Shell Script" action, get rid of the Finder action you have there. You can type something similar to the following, in the text box where it says "cat" in your screenshot:

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Sony/Project1999
/opt/local/bin/wine start eqgame.exe patchme

This is what I used in Automator then saved it to my desktop. Of course, our paths to the eqgame and wine executables might be different, so you might need to make changes.

Let me know how you get on with this... hope it helps

It says workflow failed. Can you take a screenshot of your to see what I'm doing wrong? Or alternatively can you tell me what I would have to do in terminal?

Here's a screenshot of the app I made with automator, pretty much identical to yours, except for the changes I noted above.

Make sure the paths are correct for your machine. When you run yours in Automator, what errors are you getting in the log at the bottom?

Dude I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, like I said I'm not very computer savvy. When I click get info on the actually file the path is: "/Users/loopholbrook/Desktop/Neverquest.app/Contents/Resources/drive_c/Program Files/Sony/EverQuest" is somehow that the wrong path? I've tried everything I can in automater and it's not working. The error says no such file or directory, so -_-.
