Some aspects of upstream make OpenEnroth currently unfit for a global install. Namely, the way it looks for game resources is in $PWD; so running OpenEnroth from terminal in /home/tea/games/mm7 will have OE look for the game resources in that directory.

We put the shaders in /usr/share/games/mm7 but right now the workflow for actually launching the game would be to install (or extract) the game files to a directory and then copy/symlink /usr/share/games/mm7/shaders to the same directory as the game files.

There is a OPENENROTH_MM7_PATH environment variable, but OE currently can't look in multiple paths. ie if you set OPENENROTH_MM7_PATH to /usr/share/games/mm7:/home/tea/games/mm7 it will expect the path to be literally that.
