Files

1oom requires a copy of the Master of Orion (v1.3) LBX files. See /usr/share/doc/1oom/lbxmd5.txt for the expected MD5sums.

According to the XDG standard, 1oom will check the following directories for the LBX files (in order):

1.

$XDG_DATA_HOME/1oom

2.

$XDG_DATA_DIRS/1oom

3.

~/.local/share/1oom

4.

/usr/share/games/master-of-orion

5.

/usr/share/1oom

6.

/usr/local/share/1oom

You can also override this and specify your own path to look for the LBX files by passing the command-line argument -data <path> when running 1oom. The given path is saved to the configuration file.
