@corvus_192 (~The comment talks about the menu entry in the launcher. On my system the program doesn't even launch, because of permission errors. These are two different issues.~)

Edit: Oh I thought you were pointing to a different comment, but it did not scroll down. Never mind, sorry for confusion. I will change the rights myself then. Thank you for pointing to it.

I just installed this on with yay -S flashpoint-bin. But trying to start gives me permission error. I have to Ctrl-c to stop it, as it hangs.

$ yay -Q flashpoint-bin

If the application doesn't appear on the app launcher after the installation process, you could create your own flashpoint.desktop file at ~/.local/share/applications/. Here I leave an example file that has worked for me, including an icon that probably matches your system:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/bin/flashpoint
Name=Flashpoint
Icon=flash
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=true
MimeType=application/vnd.adobe.flash.movie
StartupWMClass=flashpoint-launcher
Categories=Game

@nsood Thanks for your feedback, I've added p7zip as makedepends.

nsood commented on 2024-07-07 21:47 (UTC)

Hi! Could p7zip be added as a build-time dependency? Seems like 7zr is required to extract something during the build process

corvus_192 commented on 2024-05-25 12:18 (UTC)

Using sudo inside the package step is not needed, because it only affects the $pkgbuild directory, which is not the real /opt.

@unbraindead Thanks for your feedback, fixed it.

To add to @trliy s comment, make sure to change the permissions of the directory RECURSIVELY. This command should work: sudo chown -R $USER /opt/flashpoint

trliy commented on 2023-12-20 21:46 (UTC)

Make sure after installing this package that you run the command "flashpoint" without sudo/root permissions. You can do this if flashpoint does not show up in your app launcher/apps.

Side note: If running flashpoint gives you something like /opt/flashpoint/xxx is denied, you have to run your file manager as sudo then nagivate to the /opt/flashpoint folder and change all the READ & WRITE permissions to your username instead of root. You could also run "sudo flashpoint", but I have not tried this.
