DirName no longer selectable

Nice set of scripts :) Seem to work well when installed with default options.

I'm now trying to install onto a separate drive with more/faster storage. Hence I'd like to use something other than ~ for DirName.

I noticed that as of commit 8be39bdc29b58177639cf6215fc11f52ade58fad, DirName is no longer prompted for in SetupMinecraft.sh. If I manually modify the script to point DirName to a new location, then I must also remove lines 345-350 as well, so that I can run my modified script. Of course once I do that I lose the self-updating feature of the script (very nice BTW).

Is a custom directory for DirName simply discouraged at this point? I considered using symlinks but ran into difficulties there with the service not starting properly. (I didn't attempt to diagnose.)

Note that the documentation on this topic is a bit out of date, if DirName is no longer specifiable.

Oh I thought I was going crazy. Yes, can this please be fixed so I can change the server to different directory?

Same thing for me, it was slightly annoying to the point I attempted to make my own custom DirName using the commit that removed it.
