| Summary | 0002189: please consider adding /usr/share/games/vcmi as a data lookup path | ||||||||||||
| Description | Vcmi stores static game data in /usr/share/vcmi which is totally correct from an XDG point of view. But the FHS (filesystem hierarchy standard) specifies /usr/share/games as the base directory for static game data. So it would be great if vcmi could add /usr/share/games/vcmi as an additional directory to look for game data after having looked in /usr/share/vcmi. That way, Debian could store static game data in /usr/share/games/vcmi without deviating from vcmi upstream in its lookup path. This would be convenient for Debian as most other games in Debian store their static game data in /usr/share/games as well because of the FHS. | ||||||||||||

I just added /usr/share/games/vcmi lookup dir here: https://github.com/vcmi/vcmi/commit/8180e4d5c5ba9ecd6ba36d8f15af10736b2fa8a3 [^] Please report back if it's work as intended! |

I cannot confirm that it works. I just built latest git HEAD and I see that lib/VCMIDirs.cpp adds: ret.push_back(bfs::path("/usr/share/games") / "vcmi"); And I have my data in /usr/share/games/vcmi but when I start vcmi I get: Error: Heroes III data was not found! |

@josch It's won't work if you run it from "bin" in build directory. I intentionally made VCMI ignore all system-wide data when both binaries and "config", "Mods" directories are together. This way I can be sure that game installed from repository is not interfere with development. See "IVCMIDirsUNIX::developmentMode". |

That makes lots of sense. But then I don't see why your commit shouldn't work and I guess you can close this bug report. :) |
