[BUG] Fresh install of Barotrauma server throws missing directory error in debug console

[veridical]

User Story

As a server owner, I want set up a Barotrauma server.

Basic info

• Distro: [Ubuntu 20.04.4]
• Game: [Barotrauma]
• Command: [debug]
• LinuxGSM version: [v22.1.0]

Further Information

When starting a Barotrauma server for the first time, the following error message shows up in the debug console: https://pastebin.com/q8PmFDpM. It seems the /home/btserver/.local/share/Daedalic Entertainment GmbH/Barotrauma directories are missing. I have a workaround below.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install the Barotrauma server using the install LinuxGSM documentation.
2. Run ./btserver start. This will end up failing.
3. Run ./btserver debug to view the error message.

Expected behavior

Server starts with no issues.

Workaround

To get the server up and running, I did the following:

1. Inside /home/btserver/.local/share/ add the following directory structure: Daedalic Entertainment GmbH/Barotrauma
2. Start the server. It should be successfully started now.

@veridical Can you confirm that this symlink is necessary? For me, mkdir -p "~/.local/share/Daedalic Entertainment GmbH/Barotrauma" works fine. Maybe for some reason, like mods, this simlink is recommended?

Confirmed! No symlink is needed. I will update the workaround. Thanks for checking!
