Add Airshipper flatpak for Veloren #11

Closed al12gamer closed 11 months ago

al12gamer commented 1 year ago

After reviewing the Veloren gitlab comments here https://gitlab.com/veloren/veloren/-/issues/1486 it seems that this flatpak will update fine and automatically fire up the game with just one word added to the shortcut. I'd like to add, or possibly receive some assistance on adding, Veloren as a shortcut to Steam...but automated as part of this script, with that Run command added at the end.

Apparently the Veloren community layout is best for running Veloren on Deck too it seems. Adding screenshot here. Screenshot_20230607_140731

Adding reference screenshot for adding the Run command as well. Direct link to the comment that helped. https://gitlab.com/veloren/veloren/-/issues/1486#note_1422621029 Screenshot_20230607_140920

Note that directly running the game bypasses the issue of the airshipper updater client failing to scale properly...but you still have to login manually. Apparently you'd have to boot back to Desktop Mode to update the game properly too.

Will give this a try over the weekend

I believe I'll be keeping this issue open for a while until there's auto-sign-in, making playing Veloren a lot more easy for most people on Deck. This is their official Steam Deck tracking issue.

al12gamer commented 1 year ago

Some notes mentioned in their tracking issue I didn't see before, regarding getting it running on steam deck.

al12gamer commented 1 year ago

Turns out the aforementioned notes from their hackmd don't apply. Will keep this open until auto-login is added, as it's user-unfriendly currently when trying to login from Game Mode.

This could possibly be easily solved if SteamOS 3.5 adds the /nix directory by default to SteamOS. In that case, I'd be able to change parameters for how it behaves if installed as a Nix package.

Factory resetting today, will see if things were fixed with the airshipper flatpak

al12gamer commented 11 months ago

Reinstalled airshipped flatpak and made sure the resolution was correct as per the comment in the tracking issue here While auto-login is still not available yet, this is definitely more usable. Closing for now.
