getting .sh files that run a game using a wrapper to work
hey guys I installed https://github.com/bakustarver/rpgmakermlinux-cicpoffs and I can select it for use in steam compatibility tools but not on heroic so I went ahead and made a simple bash that runs the command
rpgmaker-linus --gamepath "/path/to/game" and it works fine but when adding this .sh file on Heroic as a Linux game it doesn't work the log error I get is Game Log:
./Run Game.sh: line 2: rpgmaker-linux: command not found
tried running with the explicit path to the command and it says directory not found
my best guess right now is flatpack issues ? anyone got any ideas

Make sure both your compatibility tool and the script itself are somewhere in
~/Games/Heroic/, otherwise Flatpak Heroic won't be able to see it
You can test your script by running
in the terminal & then executing your scriptgenerous-apricotOP•3mo ago
can I add a shortcut for the wrapper to a file in ~/Games/Heroic/ ? or do I have to move the entire installation there
on the wrapper website there is a way to change custom install
echo "$HOME/somedirpath/" > "$HOME/.config/defrpgmakerlinuxpath.txt"
I'm sorry I'm a bit new does this mean that I make a text file where I specify the install ? or do I run this command as is ?
You have to move the entire thing there, a shortcut will end up pointing to a (to the Flatpak) nonexistent file
Looking at the script, you only have to download the latest release and extract the
nwjs folder from there. The file that'd usually be rpgmaker-linux is nwjs/packagefiles/nvjsstart-cicpoffs.shgenerous-apricotOP•3mo ago
it still doesn't work because even when I put the wrapper in the heroic directory I think it's looking for dependacies and not finding them
/home/../../Heroic/rpgmaker-linux/rpgmaker-linux: line 463: strings: command not found
/home/../../Heroic/rpgmaker-linux/mkxp-z/mkxp-z.x86_64: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
will the app image version of heroic be the same and still have those issues ?
AppImage doesn't do sandboxing, so it'll work like you'd just run your script from the terminal. But that also assumes the rest of your system configuration is sane (notably that you have GPU drivers installed properly)

gotcha
If you're not going the Flatpak route, usually the native package for your distro is the best choice
You can use the AppImage, but you'll lose some features (protocol support, a desktop entry for Heroic)

I hesitate to use the native version just because I assume the flatpack version is pushed hard for a reason
Flatpak is the preferred version, yes, but the native ones still work

I think I'll probably keep the flatpack and since steam works will just add rpgmaker games as steam games and call it a day thanks a bunch for the help CommandMC
