Calcinae There is a wiki on the github, its not complete though, but has commands on it. OR the best way would be to use the help system in rustique.

Example:

Rustique help

Rustique help install

Rustique help config

Rustique config help set   - This one is a subcommand, so you put the help after it to tell the system to show help for 'set' in this case.

Hope that helps!

theysa it worked perfectly, thanks again :D

Was there a way to discover the command on my own without bothering you ? I didn’t see a README or this kind of things

EnderCorePL You're very welcome! :3

Amazing, thank you for this! :3

Calcinae Glad you like it! Yes you can pin the game version with the following command

Rustique config set -p 1.21.12 (or whatever version you want). 

It's not perfect though. If the mod authors don't use proper semver standards, you may end up with a mod from a newer version. If that does happen (its pretty rare) then you can pin the mod version to one you know works.

Rustique config set --with-mod mod_id_here --pin-version 0.8.2  (again change the version to whatever version of the mod you need)

Hi, thanks for this program, it's great !

I ran into an issue wih the prerelease (1.22.0-pre.1) : some mods updated for this version when I installed them, but my game is still in the older version. Is it possible to declare the system version and lock then install / sync command to not update mods to newer game version ?

thanks :) 

DavidDavid Heya, you can us the [-w  or --with-mpk] flag to run the normal commands on your local modpack. 

Example:

rustique -w sync

rustique -w update -a

this may be a dumb question, but how do i update mods inside a local modpack? i have not figured this out so far

zZalo Me too! They have so many games to learn the right lessons from to do it correctly too, lets just hope they do something about it.

I really hope VS expands in the modpacks field :)

heya mattee

So, the problem here is that you also need update your rustique config file to add the new modpack ID to it. Rustique keeps track of all the modpacks there. so its in ~/.config/rustique/config.toml. Look for the key disabled and add your newly copied and modifed modpack id there. This will then let you use rustique to enable the new modpack. 

What you could also do is pass the -C flag when creating a modpack so it only copies the mods. This way you can easily make some custom changes for the different version and then make a new modpack based on those changes. Rustique will manage evering else. 

So it would look like this:

$ rustique modpack create -C -n firstmodpack -m fmpk -v 0.1.0  (this creates the initial modpack,but only copies the mods themselves)

Once you do that, make any changes you need to the modpacks with rustique, download updates or new versions, or remove mods, whatever

Then run the following

$ rustique modpack create -n secondmodpack -m smpk -v 0.1.0  (we can omit the -C here since its the 2nd version, so it can just move the mods now.)

What you did is just as easy, you just need to edit the config.toml file is all. Anyway, glad you are liking Rustique and let me know if you have anymore questions!

Thanks so much for this! so far this is pretty awesome, just what I was looking for.

I ran into some issues trying to duplicate a custom local made modpack though. I copied both the mypacks and installed directory files, renamed them, as well as editing the json to have the new modpack tag as well. Both packs showed up in the list, but only the original could be enabled. It wouldn't let me enable or install the duplicate, which it prompted me to. 

I wanted a duplicate so I could have a modlist per version of the game. The modlist files are originally for 1.20.12, and I wanted to update all the files so it could have freshly updated versions for 1.21.5, while keeping the old just in case I wanted to go back. Any help would be much appreciated. 

Thank you once again though, besides that (which im assuming is human error) its worked perfectly so far. Looking forward to updates and a gui :)

Freak__ So, you have to change the directory inside powershell to wherever you downloaded the file and extracted it. You can do that with the command, "cd", so "cd C:/Users/yourusername/Downloads" or whatever the directory is where you saved it.  

I cannot acces the app trough the powershell.. it say the spelling is incorrect or sum

Haladesta Heya! There is a delete command, but right now its dumb, so you have to give it the modid@version to remove specific ones. 

So if you have alchemy 1.16 installed you would run, "rustique delete -m alchemy@1.16" and it will remove that version. 

I can def look into a command to clean up duplicate installs though, thats a good idea. 

As for the version, I can add a check for the version and make sure rustique doesn't crash, but a version is required for a valid mod. I'd be just easier to add a version to it when you use the modmaker.exe program. It is weird they don't add one by default.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion!

Hey theysa really enjoying this project.

I have one small feature request (since the `rustique-sync.json` was already suggested): I'd love something like a "clean" command that removes duplicate installs and outdated ones, where a newer version is also installed.

Also quick note that when you create mod using the ModMaker.exe, the version string is empty which causes a hard exit in Rustique while trying to parse the version number.

Seventythird The easiest way to query the mod directly to see its versions and Game version. `rustique info nameofmodhere`

The more permanent way is to add a new column to the list command like this: `rustique config table set list -H -F game-version -r green`
The command is very long, but its doing a lot of stuff. That will add a new column that shows the game version and sets the color to be green. 

I haven't gotten around to writing the documentation for that command, been pretty busy, but that will get you what you need. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Maybe I'm missing it but is there a way to see what game version the installed mod version is for?

Ikkus Glad you like it!

hare :)

Enfrank Thats an interesting idea actuall, but no not currently. You could make a modpack and share that. Right now there isn't a way to install a modpack without it being uploaded to the modsite though. It's on my todo list but I haven't had the time to work on rustique lately outside of bug fixes. I do like that suggestion though, I'll add that to my list, so thanks!

Is it possible to install all mods from a `rustique-sync.json` file, without previously having the mods installed? e.g. Can I share my sync file with friends so they can install the exact same mods and versions?

awesome!

This is fantastic.

LunaGore And thank you for your dope command. Nothing could be easier.

Seventythird I'm really glad its working out for you! I really tried to make the commands as easy to use as I could, so I'm glad you appreciate it!

Absolutely incredible. You have saved me many hours of manually updating. The lack of UI doesn't even hurt that much as the commands are really straightforward and easy to use.

Spiridon What mods are you using ? What is happening when you run sync or rather, what is not happening?

saddly it does not recognise half of my mods when i do sync or update

For anyone who is lazy like me I mad a batch command that'll go to the folder your exe is located, run a sync, and an update then keep the PS window open for any additional inputs. Just update the everything between the single quotes (including the <,>), save it anywhere (preferrably where the exe is) and run it anytime you wanna update! You can also add more commands if you want to tweak it obviously.

tabmow Heya, yea running sync updates the file that is used to determine which version to download. This particular issue of having to sync after pinning I've been meaning to adjust, but havnt really had time lately. I need to finish up my documentation and add the section on version pinning too. Sorry for the confusion on that, glad you figured it out!

Edit: Maybe I needed to sync after pinning? Seems to make a difference.

I may be being stupid but I pinned two mods to a specific version (configlib and vsimgui) - but when I run update --all - I get the latest versions? My understanding was that pinned mods would be ignored. Weirdly Rustique is now showing latest versions of those mods as my pinned value.

ModID ┆ Version ┆ Latest Version
configlib ┆ 1.6.2 ┆ 1.5.3 (pinned)
vsimgui ┆ 1.1.10 ┆ 1.1.8 (pinned)

mo_mo Heya, Rustique can actually manage its own "profiles" using the modpack feature. With modpacks, you can create as many local packs as you want and freely switch between them for different saves. As such, I wouldn't be adding support for Mod Organizer.

You can check out the modpack guide here https://github.com/Tekunogosu/Rustique/wiki/Modpacks

Any chance of adding mod update support for Mod Organizer 2? Rustique doesn't recognize the mods since they're nested in a folder.

tkdestroyer2 its a false positive. Rustique doesn't do anything malicious. You'll have to whitelist it so it doesn't get flagged. Sadly, the only real way to avoid this is to get a verification cert from microsoft and that would be too expensive for what this is. 

If you are concerned about it, feel free to check over the source code, its completely open source.

Version 0.5.9 is being quarantined by Windows Defender.

Mairujyat The modapi is busted right now, so sync/updating everything that needs versioning info is broken. 

Basically all versioning information from the API is showing numbers instead of text, so the parsing library cant turn the api call into a form that's usable. I've submitted a bug report to the VS peoples, so hopefully they fix that soon. And what I mean by numbers is its showing a number like 12923743973873 insteald of 0.3.1.

Sadly there is nothing I can do about this. Rustique requires the versions to be functional in order to operate correctly.

theysa Running into a similar issue as Churburby, ran into it on the previous version as well as current version; it collects info on all the mods, then outputs for all the mods "error decoding response body."

HEADS UP: At the time of writing this comment, the mod API is broken. The versions for all mods are showing up as a huge number instead of text. This breaks Rustique, so if you try to sync and you get an error message that says: error decoding response body then this is why. I've already posted an issue on their github for the modapi, so hopefully they get that fixed soon.

AcidMarxist Interesting, well I'm glad its working now at least. Def strange and I havn't seen that yet. Thanks for reporting that, I'll keep on eye on things. Sounds like it might be a weird edge case I haven't seen yet.

theysa

I was using the latest version! It was just the sync command that wasn't giving me any output, but it didn't seem to actually mess with anything. I've used it about 3 times since then to update mods and I run the sync command each time and it seems to work fine so I haven't been too worried about it. I went ahead and tried it just now before posting this comment, and it looks like it actually is printing an output for me and is working exactly as intended. I have no clue why it wasn't giving an output those first few times, but it seemingly worked itself out.

Churburby Do you use discord?  and if so, would you be able to join the rustique discord server? That way we can talk in real time so I can get some more information.

theysa

Did so and appeared to collect info for almost all mods then printed the only error above

eerino You're most welcome! I hope you are able to get rustique compiled and it all works out for you. Let me know if you run into any issues.

Churburby Hmm interesting. That error message is saying its having API issues, like its getting invalid responses when trying to contact the api site. The first message about fatspoilage version is because they use some weird versioning that I will look into.

Can you run the sync again with -v enabled and send me the output?

So the command would be `Rustique -v sync` It'll show a lot of output, so best option to get it to me would be to join the rustique discord and past it there, or use a site like pastebin to upload all the text and paste the link here.

Thanks for reporting your errors, its really important to find any edge cases!

I'm getting an error when syncing.

The above "error decoding response body" repeats for every mod 

@theysa Thank you so much!

AcidMarxist Ahh ok. You don't have to have the program in your VintagestoryData folder, your default folder just needs to be pointed at the directory where your mods are. But im glad you figured it out. I just want to make sure, you are using the latest 0.3.1 version correct? I ask because you mentioned it wasn't showing you doing anything, but every command should have some sort of output. Regardless, as long as its working for you and you don't have to deal with updating your mods by default :3

theysa 

I genuinely think I was just confused about the initial installation process. I put Rustique.exe in a random folder somewhere and I was having a hard time getting any of the commands in powershell to work UNTIL I put it in my VintageStoryData folder and then set the default folders like the mod description says. Once I got it in the Data folder and set the default location it worked fine. It seemed pretty obvious to me once I figured it out. Beyond that, it was a little difficult to tell if it was actually doing anything when I was inputting the sync command but then the next command went through and it started showing me progress bars and all that good stuff. I think it was user error on my part that was causing the confusion more than anything. 

AcidMarxist Glad its working out for you! If you don't mind me asking, what issues were you experiencing initially? I want to make this program work as flawlessly as possible, so any info helps.

This is fantastic. It took a little troubleshooting to actually get it setup initially, but once I got it going it worked like a dream. 

Guar I decided today to add a download command to Rustique so you can at least download the latest versions without having to do to the website. You can get that version on my github page. There wasn't enough in this minor release to put it here on the mod site, because I try not to update too frequently here. It wont extract and update the game files for you, but it will download the latest version so its easier on you. :3

Rustique v0.3.2-alpha

Guar Glad you like it! I wasn't able to find any mod manager that I liked either, which is why I made Rustique. Plus the other ones were slow... 

Anyway, I would like to use Rustique to manager servers as well, at least the installation and maybe running the exectuable, I'm just not sure how I'm going to go about this yet. The end goal of the project is to have a GUI which will be able to manage different versions of the game but that will prob be a bit out before I get to that point. I don't think its against TOS or anything, but VS doesn't have an api to download new versions of game easily, so its a bit more involed. It can be done though. So to answer your question, yes it's possible.

I'll be looking into this actually after I have modpack stuff finished, which I'm working on right now. So keep an eye/follow the project as I update pretty frequently.

I love this! Been looking for a tool like this for a while but couldn't find any that I actually liked! Works super well for me to update mods on my Linux server from my Windows pc!

Got a question that I suppose could be out of scope for this kind of tool, but do you see it possible to create an updater for Vintage Story server? I mean in general really, not asking you to create it or so.

Perhaps it's against TOS or in other ways troublesome, but I always find it a little bit too time consuming to update my Linux server in those periods when updates drop so quickly after another.

Rustique does work on mac, but you have to compile it yourself. @EDKE left a guide on how to do so on the linux version, check it out here: https://mods.vintagestory.at/rustique the information is at the top of the description.

Why'd I buy a Mac? WHY!?!?
