[Linux] Packaging for multiple users

[saik0]

I'm trying to package StarMade for Arch Linux. I've got http://files.star-made.org/StarMade-Starter-v9.jar in /usr/share/starmade and http://files.star-made.org/build/starmade-build_20130628_230434.zip unpacked to /usr/share/starmade/StarMade. I can run the starter and start the game launch UI, however when I try to launch the game in single player I get an java.io.FileNotFoundException /usr/share/starmade/StarMade/server-database/index/.lck does not exist.

Is there any way to specify the user data path to someplace outside the game data path? Ideally each user could have their own $HOME/.config/starmade dir for savegaves, ships, etc.

You shoould try out the pkgbuild I made in the AUR. (I just updated it to v9)

But by default the user path should be /home/$USER/StarMade.

Thanks, but I was asking if it\'s possible to make a global install from the zip while still have user configs at some arbitrary dir

I don\'t think it\'s possible at the extent you are trying to accomplish, I could be wrong though.
