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.

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

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!?!?
