zmnpl / twad Goto Github PK

Hi there, I love your terminal launcher and it is ideal for my usage but I do have a couple of questions and not sure if I'm being dumb, or if they are just not implemented in the code.

Firstly, is there anyway to remove a mod to a game once added? At the moment I have to delete and then reedit the game which seems rather inefficient.

Secondly, using the idgamesbrowser it will download the files just fine but I have to manually unzip the files that it downloads in order to use the .wad that lies within. Is there anyway twad will unzip that automatically for me?

Anyway, I really do like your launcher as have been looking for something like this on/off for a couple of years before stumbling across it on the AUR.

It seems gzdoom has a fuzzy finder for IWADs. This means that if the iwad file name isn't exact it will load another IWAD.

For an example if you have DOOM.WAD and DOOM2.WAD and load with gzdoom -iwad doom.wad. Gzdoom will open the DOOM2.WAD.

Looking at games.json . twad isn't preserving casing and it seems to exacerbate gzdoom somewhat. Editing the iwad filename to be correct again in the json returns normal iwad loading behavior for gzdoom.

Ooh, first issue?

As someone who likes to try a lot of mods, I run into issues with config files being conflicting or whatever. So what I do is I have a good config file that I duplicate for every big mod (like Brutal Doom vs Project Brutality vs... other mod names i cant remember.), and then load it when I play with that mod on most maps.

But when I have -config brutal.ini for example, it saves it to /home/tony/, not where it sets DOOMWADDIR.

(Honestly, even better would be to have a WAD Dir and a Config Dir that is selectable like the IWAD and Source Port. I could try to add it/start a new feature request, but I don't know if you think it's feature bloat. I might try, but I haven't used golang in ages.)

twad v0.20.3 doesn't start on my computer.

$ twad
twad: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by twad)
twad: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by twad)

It looks like my version of GLIBC is too old.

$ ldd --version | head -1

Can you make twad work on Ubuntu 20.04? Canonical supports it until April 2025.

Otherwise, is there something I can do here other than compile it myself?

When loading any type of file through the "Others" field. If the path to the file has any spaces, it will not load the file. Neither escaping the spaces with \ ,nor wrapping the file path in quotes has any effect.

So far I've observed this behavior upon loading configs and patch files.
This is inconsistent with how twad loads mods, as spaces in file names don't impact functionality.
Perhaps this is related but when any filename provided through the "Others" field. It has to be the full path name (without spaces present). Again inconsistent with the $DOOMWADDIR being the CWD that we see when loading in our mods.

I'm running v0.20.0 binary
