Linux install script (Lutris)

@sereiya Thanks for your hard work mate!

FAF Website Developer

@sereiya Thanks very much for the script I am not sure if I would have made it without it, also on Manjaro Xfce

INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME=/path/to/game/folder/openjdk15/ ./faf-client

worked for me and I now see the launcher but I have twoone problems:

  1. this is a smaller one, can I somehow specify the INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME=/path/to/game/folder/openjdk15 somewhere so that I can start the game through Lutris.

  2. This seems to be java related but it prevents me from logging in, java cant resolve lobby.faforever.com java.net.UnknownHostException: Failed to resolve 'lobby.faforever.com' (just while I am writing this it seems to be fixed by specifying the IP in my hosts file)

So just 1., how can I make it so that I can run the mod through Lutris without the need to run INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME=/path/to/game/folder/openjdk15/ ./faf-client every time I want to start the launcher?

Sry if this is the wrong place for bug support but after I finally got the launcher working I thought the game would run as well, turns out it doesn't.

When I am starting(or joining) a custom game the game starts but seems to load in the "Connecting" screen infinity and it seems that there are no errors in the console:

Maybe someone has an idea what I could try to get the game starting or the be able to join a game.
