flatpak-xonotic

A flatpak package for xonotic.

Building

First checkout the repo:

git clone https://github.com/casept/flatpak-xonotic     
cd flatpak-xonotic     

Install the needed runtime and SDK:

flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists --from gnome https://sdk.gnome.org/gnome.flatpakrepo       
flatpak install --user gnome org.freedesktop.Sdk 1.4      
flatpak install --user gnome org.freedesktop.Platform 1.4          

And build:

make     

Installation

Just run make install. This will install the game for your local user.

Running

In most desktop environments a xonotic menu entry will have been created under games. If that's not the case you may need to log out and back in again. If you still can't find the icon your DE might not be looking in the directory where flatpak places .desktop files. If that's the case you'll have to run flatpak run org.xonotic.xonotic to start the game.

Accessing save games/maps/etc.

For sandboxing reasons the game is configured to save user data to ~/.var/app/org.xonotic.xonotic/.xonotic instead of the usual ~/.xonotic. This directory will have the same structure as it does when the game is run from the upstream .zip file.
