Can there at least be a different kind of error when raze.pk3 isn't found? I placed (a symlink for) it in ~/.config/raze/ and couldn't figure out why it can't find any games unless i'm in directory with it.

This is a misunderstanding. These two lines with and without an asterisk do very different things. Without an asterisk it will add the given directory and with an asterisk it will add all subdirectories of the given directory but not the directory itself. This is entirely by design because users may have a directory which has subdirectories for all games but the contents of that main directory are not supposed to be scanned

Detection on Linux is probably less tested than other platforms, unfortunately. When I get a chance, I'll boot in to Arch Linux and see what I can find from my Steam library.

Running on linux, globs * seem to work weirdly.

Code: Select all

SteamApps/common/Shadow Warrior Classic/gameroot/classic/
finds both Shadow Warrior and Wanton Desturction but

Code: Select all

SteamApps/common/Shadow Warrior Classic/gameroot/classic/*
finds only Shadow Warrior.

For long time I couldn't figure out why Raze tells me "Unable to find any game data. Please verify your settings." if i run it anywhere except for ~/.config/raze, turns out i had to add

Code: Select all

Path=$HOME/.config/raze
in addition to default

Code: Select all

Path=$HOME/.config/raze/*
, otherwise it wouldn't find the raze.pk3
