1 day ago Hi, sorry if I answered so late, I was busy on some other repos.
Well, it seems to be an "installer" more than a portable app... to made it work, we need to extract it and run a script that does as follows (from the "start-flashpoint.sh" script):
#!/bin/bash
# Check if the script is running as root or is already running, and exit if true.
if [[ $EUID -eq 0 ]]; then
echo "Running as root. Stop."
exit 1
fi
for PID in $(pidof -x start-flashpoint.sh); do
if [[ $PID -ne $$ ]]; then
if [[ $(pidof -x flashpoint-launcher) ]]; then
echo "Already running. Stop.
If launcher isn't visible, run:
$ killall flashpoint-launcher"
exit 1
else
kill -n9 $PID
fi
fi
done

killall -qs9 Server/FlashpointGameServerthey say that it should work as an electron app... if so, why they don't provide a portable build?
All in all it seems pretty harmless, but I wouldn't play with the variables so easily if I were them.
I need to know if it's safe to install an app like this.

To help us make adding applications quicker and easier, please try to follow the following two syntaxes.
mutable version
immutable version
Important!
The two syntaxes mentioned above are enough for programs that can only be used from the command line.
However, for graphical programs and programs that require integration into the menu, and therefore a launcher, also add the following two pieces of information:
List of portable applications to add
Flashpoint Archive (immutable and mutable builds)
