Detailed Description

Game file definition allows to browse this file in configuration box.

There are some standard values for configName() property:

BinaryPath is the general game executable path. It's always used as the client executable when joining servers and as offline game executable. It can also be used to host servers if EnginePlugin::Data::clientOnly is true.
ServerBinaryPath is path to server executable. It's used when EnginePlugin::Data::clientOnly is false.

Apart from these, the configName can be anything you want and anything your plugin needs. Remember however that choosing a distinct name is important to avoid collisions with any future standard names.

There are three types of executables recognised by Doomseeker: isClientExecutable(), isServerExecutable() and isOfflineExecutable(). One executable can be all of these at the same time or the game might have separate executables for each mode. Setting one of these to true also implies isExecutable(). If plugin doesn't specify its own list of GameFile then Doomseeker will assume some defaults depending on plugin's EP_ClientOnly flag. The defaults are as follows:

If plugin defines EP_ClientOnly flag then there's only one executable that is all: client, server and offline.
If plugin doesn't define EP_ClientOnly then there are two executables: client executable that is both for client and offline modes and server executable that is only for hosting (possibly just a console).

This class follows Builder pattern. All setters return reference to the called object so that you can chain them together.

GameFile file;
return file.setNiceName(tr("client")).setConfigName("BinaryPath")
    .setFileName("rungame").setExecutable(true);
