Zandronum Flatpak edition

Installation

Game data

• Copy any commercial iwad into the folder:
  • ~/.var/app/com.zandronum.Zandronum/.config/zandronum/
• Optionally, configure the ini to load files from a different directory:
  • ~/.var/app/com.zandronum.Zandronum/.config/zandronum/zandronum.ini

Skins

• Copy any of your skins into folder:
  • ~/.var/app/com.zandronum.Zandronum/.config/zandronum/skins

Run with custom wads

UI

With Doomseeker, you can create a custom game. Then, under mode you can sellect 'Play offline' to start a singleplayer game.

CLI

Just as with the standalone Zandronum, you can pass commands through using the command line. If you want to play custom wads, you can add them to a sub-directory of /zandronum/ and then you can directly access then from the terminal:

flatpak run --command="zandronum -file ~/.var/app/com.zandronum.Zandronum/.config/zandronum/pwads/PL2.WAD" com.zandronum.Zandronum

cd ~/.var/app/com.zandronum.Zandronum/.config/zandronum/pwads/
flatpak run com.zandronum.Zandronum -file ./PL2.WAD

Accessing files on unconventional spots

If you want to access wads in different locations, you might have to adjust the Flatpak sandboxing permissions. You can easily do that like this:

flatpak override com.zandronum.Zandronum --filesystem=/OTHER/LOCATION/WITH/WADS --user
