Server downloading to the wrong directory #33

Closed BaIthamel closed 2 years ago

BaIthamel commented 2 years ago

When I run the script I get the error Please use force_install_dir before logon! and space engineers ends up in .steam/steamapps/common. I can't work out a functioning steamcmd string to get it to download into /appdata. This looks like it's related to some change to steamcmd that is referenced in https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/8298.

I fired up 2 new worlds today and didn't experience this, can you elaborate on what you are doing?

Reading that issue more, I get it now.

According to that issue, this is what you want

​runuser -l wine bash -c ​'​steamcmd +force_install_dir /appdata/space-engineers/SpaceEngineersDedicated +login anonymous +@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType windows +app_update 298740 +quit​'

Typing this on my phone laying in bed. I probably won't have time to test this for a week or so, hope that gets you going in the interim.

As least one of the characters in your example code is visually the same as the characters in the code I constructed but it does not run when pasted into the console. runuser -l wine bash -c 'steamcmd +force_install_dir /appdata/space-engineers/SpaceEngineersDedicated +login anonymous +@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType windows +app_update 298740 +quit' This is visually identical but unfortunately does not result in the download ending up in appdata. It still ends up in steamapps/common. As a side note there is no confirmation that the force_install_dir is running, all of the other commands prompt some readable response from steamcmd. Do you get a confirmation that the install directory has changed?

I read that some issues were caused by passing multiple arguments to steamcmd so I tried using +runscript to this script

    @sSteamCmdForcePlatformType windows
    force_install_dir /appdata/space-engineers/SpaceEngineersDedicated
    login anonymous
    app_update 298740
    quit

This also had no success.

this is what happens when I try to manually set the install directory, I am not familiar with steamcmd so I do not know if it should respond with confirmation or not, But it seems like it should. image

I found it. It was a permission issue. The appdata directory and subdirectories were created by docker as linked volumes and were owned by root. I changed their ownership to debian/wine and it worked.

The issue is not with this repo, it is with steamcmd for failing silently.
