Is there any tutorials to open pyz file?
I'm using Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon so I can't speak for other distros but if you're referring to a way to run the launcher without needing to run the commands in The Terminal everytime I came up with a solution that works. Also before I begin I do want to mention that the "python" commands didn't work & had to use "python3" and as far as installing PyQt5, I had to do
sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5
Anyways, once you have LauncherBlast2 working you can follow the steps below:
Right-click on your desktop, then click "Create a new launcher here..."
You can name it whatever, in my case I name it "LauncherBlast2" but again it doesn't matter. For "Command" I put
python3 LauncherBlast2-reBoot.pyz
Then click "Browse" and locate the .pyz file. I didn't have to check "Launch in Terminal?" and it worked fine.
Now, LB2 won't launch the game as-is because you still need to locate SRB2. Again, I am on Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon so I can't speak for other distros but if you made it this far on another distro everything else will apply except the location which I'll explain,
So for "EXE Path" what I did was go to the Menu (or Application Launcher or whatever), right-clicked on SRB2 and clicked "Properties" and all I did was copy the Command, which in my case was
/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=srb2 org.srb2.SRB2
And pasted that into the EXE path. Now everything works! I've been messing with other distros here and there so if I ever get to it I'll make an update for those if necessary. If you're on Mint hopefully this helps!
Also, everytime I run the launcher it tells me there's a new version available (running 1.3, says the new update is 1.4), anyway to update or is that Windows only? If the latter, how do I remove the notification?
