change mods_path

[seeh]

because of the need to change the mods always when switch between 0ad ..26 and 0ad..27

i want switch the mods-path. its much more easy then enable / disable a bunch of mods all the time:

i tried use inside the user.cfg (chatGPT told me so)

mods_path

but it dosent work. any idea?

If you have multiple 0 A.D. install, you can put mods in binaries/data/mods instead of the shared location. This way you'll only have the mods there available. I'm not sure, but maybe the -writableRoot option changes the install location as well.

yes, good hint (for my a27), but in addition, unfortunately, it also looks in the old folder (my a26 is not self-compiled version at the moment), as before.

so it seems very good bestPractice if all version are self build.

# it reads
~/game/0ad/a27/a27build/binaries/data/mods/

but a27 also reads at ~/.local/share/0ad/mods/

=>Plan:

1. Empty special mods from ~/.local/share/0ad/mods/
2. and also start a26 with a special mod-folder

my a26 is a AppImage. my first tries open with separate mod folder was not successful :

~/Applications/0ad-0.0.26-alpha-2210110407-x86_64_0...81.AppImage ~/.local/share/0ad/mods2/

@seehYou might find this to be a satisfying solution:

HOME=$HOME/0adA27 ./0ad-0.0.27-rc1-27645-alpha-2305191528-x86_64.AppImage

 

Then you'll probably want to copy your existing config into the ~/0adA27/.config folder

ty. works

i did:

1. HOME=$HOME/game/0ad/026 ./0ad-0.0.26-alpha-2210110407-x86_64_0cdfe6000a403313b99d6ea006a92d81.AppImage

2. all Folder Structures was generated automatically great. TY very much. very helpful. Off course fresh empty, as the very first time

BTW the AppImage was copied inside ~/game/0ad/026 automatically becouse sadly appimagelauncher tool was installed here.

i forgot which i have used before. AppImageLouncher nervs a bit ask me two times something before i could start.

 

sudo apt remove appimagelauncher

and simly make the AppImage executable: chmod +x my.AppImage

i tried run the Appimage with the coreccted Home path (as above) as a alias from the terminal

alias 026game026 "cd ~/game/0ad/026; HOME ~/game/0ad/026 ./0ad-0.0.26-alpha-2210110407-x86_64_0cdfe6000a403313b99d6ea006a92d81.AppImage"

or

alias 026game026 "cd ~/game/0ad/026; HOME = ~/game/0ad/026 ./0ad-0.0.26-alpha-2210110407-x86_64_0cdfe6000a403313b99d6ea006a92d81.AppImage"

dont work. i using the fisch-shell

 

my problem/wish is i will start it with a single click or single command.

Isn't it because you left a space after HOME and before =

[seeh]

ty. works

kate ~/.config/fish/config.fish

alias 026game026 'cd ~/game/0ad/026; HOME="$HOME/game/0ad/026" ./0ad-0.0.26-alpha-2210110407-x86_64_0cdfe6000a403313b99d6ea006a92d81.AppImage'
