libAPH.so is simple linux linker hack that allows store auteria configuration files, logs, etc... in user home directory
As hack it doesn't actually do sane things by definition, so things may break, but "It works for me" TM.
You have been warned!
It still wont allow you make auteria directory readonly.

It requires libpcre (http://www.pcre.org/)

To use it just type:

$ git clone git://github.com/piotrrak/auteria-path-hack.git
$ cd auteria-path-hack/
$ make
$ cp libAPH.so /your/path/to/auteria/
$ mkdir "~/.auteria/"

To run game you want to do something like:

$ cd /your/path/to/auteria/
$ LD_PRELOAD=./libAPH.so ./auteria.bin

Files that will be stored in your auteria home dir (~/.auteria/):

`game/client/config.cs' as `config.cs'
`game/client/prefs.cs' as `prefs.cs'
`console.log'
`log/YourCharName/chat.log` as `[email protected]'
`log/YourCharName/questlog.cs` as `[email protected]'
`log/YourCharName/*.qlog` as `YourCharName@*.qlog'

also screenshots_*.{png, jpg} should be created there

Note:
That those files won't be moved automagicly, so you have to do it manually!

Example:
if you wont
$ cp /your/path/to/auteria/log/_name_/chat.log ~/.auteria/[email protected]

in ~/.auteria/ will be created plain new empty chat.log

Caveat 1: This seems to have some problems with questlog.cs and *.qlog, I recommend to move them.
Caveat 2: Game might be running slower, i dont see much difference on machines i have tested.
Caveat 3: It is not deeply tested.

You are also able override default directory by setting LIBABH_CONFIG_LOCATION environment variable.

For more informations bug me, or refer to sources.

Have fun!
