Fix AppImage GStreamer and GResource loading failures#3
Merged
Conversation
The AppImage crashes on startup with two issues: 1. GStreamer symbol mismatch: the bundled libmedia-gstreamer.so tries to load system GStreamer libraries built against a newer GLib (with g_sort_array from GLib 2.82+) than what the AppImage bundles. Fixed by setting GTK_MEDIA=none and clearing GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH in the AppRun hook, since the app doesn't need media playback. 2. GResource not found: UI template files aren't loaded, causing a crash when GTK tries to instantiate widgets. Added exe-relative fallback logic in main.rs so the gresource file is found even if the ADVENTURE_MODS_PKGDATADIR env var isn't set correctly. Also improved error reporting from silent .ok() to an eprintln warning. https://claude.ai/code/session_01X2YjHosc7qFY61uwzeRYND

Summary
GTK_MEDIA=noneand clearGST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATHin the AppRun hook to prevent the bundled GStreamer media backend from loading system GStreamer libraries built against an incompatible (newer) GLib version. The app doesn't use media playback, so this has no functional impact.main.rsso the.gresourcefile is found even when theADVENTURE_MODS_PKGDATADIRenv var isn't set correctly. The binary at<prefix>/bin/now looks for resources at../share/adventure-mods/relative to itself..ok()swallowing of GResource load errors to aneprintlnwarning, making future debugging easier.Test plan
