Level editor & World editor doesn't launch about supermariowar HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi, for historical reasons the game is portable by default, ie. looks for the datadir next to the executable. You can use the --datadir option to set its path. This is handled by the desktop entry, but not by the executable itself at the moment.

Hi @mmatyas , I tried adding these options but gives the same error, the files are correctly installed but the binary seems to not find the correct place 🤔

The command here should be smw-leveledit --datadir /usr/share/games/smw/; does this not work in your case?

Ah yes, this one does, mmh... I just created a patch for my build, maybe you want to add something similar:
