ActorEditor is inaccessible unless the appimage is extracted

Hyperion noted:

Right in-game scenario editor is Atlas (-atlas option). Well, appimages have exactly one payload application but that could also be a shell script passing args to pyrogenesis unless there is an option -editor in which case it would run ActorEditor or in case of -h, --help print the readme.txt in binaries/system.

Something like this should work:

#!/bin/bash

# The purpose of this custom AppRun script is
# to allow symlinking the AppImage and invoking
# the corresponding binary depending on which
# symlink was used to invoke the AppImage

HERE="$(dirname "$(readlink -f "${0}")")"

if [ ! -z $APPIMAGE ] ; then
  BINARY_NAME=$(basename "$ARGV0")
  if [ -e "$HERE/usr/bin/$BINARY_NAME" ] ; then
    exec "$HERE/usr/bin/$BINARY_NAME" "$@"
  else
    exec "$HERE/usr/bin/ippserver" "$@"
  fi
else
  exec "$HERE/usr/bin/ippserver" "$@"
fi
