Hello, I'm writing a script that facilitates GOG SeriousSam TFE and TSE install for Linux users. I would like to specify a config file to use, like this I could choose default parameters. Is it possible to specify a config file at launch, with a command line or a config file stored in main game folder that will be read in priority by SSC?

Is it possible to specify a config file at launch, with a command line

Yes. You just need to specify the command "+script " in the command line and the path to the script. For example like this: SeriousSam +script Scripts\\Addons\\SafeMode.ini A list of all console commands can be found here: https://github.com/tx00100xt/SeriousSamClassic-VK/blob/main/SamTFE/Sources/SeriousSam/CmdLine.cpp#L92 For example, the +level parameter starts the game from the specified level, and the +game parameter starts the specified modification or a config file stored in main game folder that will be read in priority by SSC?

I can add a new option like +portable so that all user files are stored in the root directory of the game. It is not difficult. They are currently stored in ~/.local/share/Serious-Engine/serioussam

it was fast. I just compiled latest git code and override my game install, added "+portable" as an argument and... SSC starts with default graphics parameters and ignore the old ones stored in my home path, so it works. I will test a little more before to close this report.

I tested several times, it works as expected, in my home SSC created a config folder in .local/share but it is empty. And in game folder I have the config file in scripts/persistent.ini Bravo !
