Game Launcher problem in OpenSUSE

[exin]

Hey there, I got what I think might be an interesting problem I could use some help with.

I have just installed the game on a PC using OpenSUSE 12.1, since well... I do tend to avoid microsoft branded products. (They are icky... and come with baggage...)

In order to run CKII which is a game made for Windows mostly, I did have to use the WINE program, which emulates Windows. So far no problems, the installation went smooth and without any problems.

So here is my thing: the game when started from ck2.exe works just fine, no problems. But if I try to start the game with ck2game.exe I get no response. This means I cannot access the game launcher, which in turn means I cannot enjoy the lovely mods made by the community, which kinda makes me sad :

That' s my problem, and hopefully there is someone around here who can give me a helping hand or tip.

Can't you start the exe with parameters?

-mod NameOfModfolder

That should work as it worked with past clausewitz games.

So in order to avoid the Launcher I have to do something like this: 'ck2.exe -mod CK2Plus' ? Basically being able to play only one mod... I am not that good at Linux things, only recently ported to Linux, so still have way too many things to learn...

Also, by doing this kinda makes the game not work properly...

You can do that for shortcuts on your desktop. Just make a shortcut of the CKII.exe for all the mods and add "-mod NameOfModfolder" on the end of the target part.

Hey again, I am coming up with another question.

Is there a way to change the folder destination of savegames? If you install in both Linux and Windows CK2, let's say on partition D, it will also create a folder on C, for savegames and profiles. Can I modify the destination of that folder? So that savegames save in the game folder instead?

In the main CK2 directory create a file called "userdir.txt". Inside that file just put a ".". Then your saves will goto the CK2/Saves/ directory.
