Opentrack Launcher

A script to launch the Windows version of opentrack along with a steam game/app in the same prefix and with the same proton version.

Dependencies

• p7zip needed for 7z command
• python3 needed for the launcher

Usage

NOTE: If you use flapak follow these instructions.

Open a terminal and copy paste the following command to install it:

# Root option: easier but discouraged
$ sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/VolatileMark/opentrack-launcher/master/opentrack-launcher -O /usr/local/bin/opentrack-launcher && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/opentrack-launcher

# Non-root option: not as easy but recommended
$ mkdir -p ~/.local/bin && wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/VolatileMark/opentrack-launcher/master/opentrack-launcher -O ~/.local/bin/opentrack-launcher && chmod +x ~/.local/bin/opentrack-launcher

Then in Steam, right-click the game you want to use opentrack with, click on Properties and in the LAUNCH OPTIONS field, depending on how you installed the script, type one of the following commands:

# If you installed the script with the root option:
opentrack-launcher %command%

# If you installed the script with the non-root option:
/home/<your-username>/.local/bin/opentrack-launcher %command%

The first time you run the game with the launcher it might take a while, since it will download the latest version of opentrack and generate the launch script for the game.

With Steam Flatpak

Download the script flatpak-install.sh and run it or open a terminal and run the following commands.

$ mkdir -p ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/bin
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/VolatileMark/opentrack-launcher/master/opentrack-launcher -O ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/bin/opentrack-launcher
$ echo '#!/bin/sh' > ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/bin/7z
$ echo '/usr/bin/flatpak-spawn --host 7z $@' >> ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/bin/7z
$ chmod +x ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/bin/7z ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/bin/opentrack-launcher
$ flatpak override --user --env=PATH="/app/bin:/app/utils/bin:/usr/bin:/home/$USER/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/bin" --socket=session-bus com.valvesoftware.Steam

The LAUNCH OPTIONS string is the same as the one for the root install:

# Launch options for Steam flatpak
opentrack-launcher %command%

Folders

The launcher creates a the following folder structure in your ~/.local/share (or ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share if you're using the flatpak version of Steam):

./opentrack-launcher
├── install         # opentrack portable Windows version install folder
├── scripts         # launch scripts (.bat files) for each game
└── version.txt     # stores the current installed version of opentrack (used for auto-updating opentrack)
