The starcraft script isn't working as intended.

I just optimized code in clean.sh script and fixed a bug than can cause your issues, tell me if you can still reproduce them.

Hello, thank you for your report.
I can not reproduce your issue on my computer, I need Lutris log file to debug your issue.
Please follow steps from this page:
https://github.com/legluondunet/MyLittleLutrisScripts/blob/master/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/report-issue.md

[audunmg]

That was impressively fast, thank you!

The issue was probably caused by me installing to a different directory than the default, I didn't think that would matter.

Can I suggest changes to the script to support that (installing to any directory)?

To detect the game directory, you can find the StarCraft.exe and strip that out of the string:

gamedir="$PWD/`dirname $(find -name StarCraft.exe)`"
# Sets the variable gamedir to something like /home/audunmg/Games/starcraft/./drive_c/anything/Starcraft

Then to create the symbolic links you can strip off the drive_c/ prefix:

cd Program Files
ln -s "../${gamedir##*drive_c/}" "Starcraft"

This should make it easier to unpack the cnc-ddraw, since unzip -d "$gamedir" cnc-ddraw.zip, and copying the starcraft.mpq, since you can specify absolute paths.

I'd be happy to make a pull request if that's ok?

Please let me know if I'm being too much. It's weekend after all.

The issue was probably caused by me installing to a different directory than the default, I didn't think that would matter.

you broke an important Lutris script rule: always let the default options unchanged during install ;)
I thought your issues could be caused because you modified default game install directory, that's why I optimized and secured my code in clean.sh script:

• script exit if it doesn't find starcraft install directory and let a message error in Lutris log
  But I fixed two other things too.

When we write Lutris script installer, we should prioritizing Lutris code usage and minimize bash code usage.
That why I will not complexify more my script code.
But you are welcome to help us to write Lutris game scripts.

If game installs correctly for you now, can we close this issue?

[audunmg]

I tested and it works, feel free to close this.

Just a little question, about the comment the Program Files (x86) directory, in all of my testing, the game installers chooses the default one from the wine (or windows) registry, and I haven't seen one which picks a different one, so it seems really strange to me.

Is there a starcraft cd version which doesn't pick this one, and this is to work around that?

yes, one Starcraft cd version installs his files to "program files" instead of "program files (x86)", so my script creates a symbolik link between this two folders.
