Touhou Setup

This script will create a .desktop launcher and run script for your touhou games.

Install

git clone https://github.com/eylles/touhou-setup
cd touhou-setup
make install

How To Use

Just open a terminal and run the script

tuhustp

Make sure your trash directory doesn't contain any of the .exe nor the icons The script will find all your official touhou pc games and will proceed to create launchers for them, these launchers will be located in ~/.local/share/applications so that your applications menu can find them, it won't create launchers in the desktop directory however it will create run scrips in ~/.local/bin, the script will prefer english patched executables and it looks for a naming scheme like th09.exe and th09e.exe by default it will look in the $HOME directory but you can pass a directory as argument.

The script can also create the .png icons for the games if you don't have them, just install icoutils and re-run the script. icoutils is present in the official repos for most distros for ubuntu/debian and derivates:

sudo apt install icoutils

for arch and derivates:

sudo pacman -S icoutils

Runscripts

The generated runscripts follow the naming convetion of touhou-<num> where <num> is replaced by the game's number, for example for touhou 10 mountain of faith the runscript would be named touhou-10

Every runscript will check for a config file, the config dir for all runscripts is $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/touhou and every config has the name of the runscript with the .rc suffix, if the config does not exist the runscripts will simply create an empty one, the config file is sourced by the shell interpreter so it has all the capabilities of a sourced shell script, for example you can change the wine prefix to be used in the config file by simply adding a line like this:

export WINEPREFIX="${HOME}/.local/share/wineprefixes/touhou"

Posible problems

The script can find a problem if some directory in your $HOME directory has the wrong persmissions and may output something like find: '~/.somedotdir/somefile': Permission denied, the most likely cause for it is that some GUI application with sudo modified a file (usually a config) and messed up some file ownership, to fix it just run:

sudo chown -R $USER ~

after that just re-run the script and everything will work as intended

Okay, but why tho?

• opening a file explorer just to play your games is a hassle when you can simply have an icon in your desktop or app menu that will run the game with a click
• manually creating a .desktop launcher is also a hassle if you have more than one game you play
• with some games if the command to execute in the .desktop looks like this Exec= wine "/path/to/your/game/th.exe" the game will start without music
• lazyness, who has the time and drive to do all this manually

TODO

• improve filename search: as you can see the script will only recognize a handful of file names, and seems it doesn't like the filenames created by thcrap so ¯\(ツ)/¯ .

• improve variable naming scheme: some people have told me the names of the variables are unintuitive at best...
