[macOS] Feature request: have hl2_launcher look for game data in Application Support #220

Open shinra-electric opened 1 year ago

All the source games appear to have a lot of assets in common, including hl2 and platform.

It would be preferable for hl2_launcher to look for these folders in ~/Library/Application\ Support/Source (for example).

This way all the games can use the same required data files.

It's also preferable to keep the rest of the game data files there so that the app can be easily updated (in the future, once there is an app bundle).

I agree that resources or at least game binaries should be common, also common binaries should simplify packaging to package managers instead of copying from somewhere or compiling by hand
