"Flash plugin not located" and "No reference to asset directory"

[mozai]

Describe the bug Two errors in ElectronMain when starting the linux unofficial-homestuck-collection

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Download unofficial-homestuck-collection-2.0.5.tar.gz
2. `tar xzf unofficial-homestuck-collection-2.0.5.tar.gz && cd unofficial-homestuck-collection-2.0.5
3. ./unofficial-homestuck-collection

Expected behavior Window opens, prompts me to find the asset pack, or maybe an error about the asset pack not found in an expected place.

Screenshots n/a but here's what I saw on stderr

I'm commenting to add that it doesn't work with the AppImage either, it produces a similar error

~/.config/unofficial-homestuck- collection/config.json manually edit this for the asset path, that's where the plugin is

Sorry, edit what exactly? I'm also having this issue and I'm confused as to whether that is a solution.

You have to edit the "assetDir" field line 3, and put in there the path to your asset pack

I'm having this same issue with both the AppImage and the .tar.gz, but I don't have a config.json file in ~/.config/unofficial-homestuck-collection at all.

I'm having this same issue with both the AppImage and the .tar.gz, but I don't have a config.json file in ~/.config/unofficial-homestuck-collection at all.

The solution to this seems to be:

1. Delete $HOME/.config/unofficial-homestuck-collection/
2. Launch the tar.gz release (not AppImage for some reason)
3. Edit newly created config.json

I have no idea why the AppImage generated config folder wasn't working.
