zetaprime / multibound2 Goto Github PK

I click "new instance", paste a link to my unlisted collection, click "ok", then it waits several seconds, saying 'Updating mods 0/0", and then nothing happens. Nnthing in the UI, nothing in the instances folder.

Still managed to get this error despite already having downloaded my fair share of workshop mods, starbound and otherwise.

Mutlibound 2 also seems to creating a "program" folder in my C:\ drive, which my Windows 10 doesn't like.

Is a Mac version possible? I know this isn't really an "issue" so-to-speak, but there isn't really anywhere else to ask this.

I click it and the button does nothing, it does nothing no matter if the game is running or not

QIODevice::write (QFile, "/home/andysha/.local/share/multibound/instances/another/instance.json"): device not open when trying to create new instance.
Instance creation works if you remove check for folder's existance and create the folder manually.

Loading a collection-based instance still results in loading all of the workshop mods instead of selected ones.

Currently, the code has Multibound download through an anonymous steam login and does not allow for the downloading of mods, as in order to download Starbound mods you must be logged into an account that owns the game.

I open it, and it appears in the task manager, but never actually opens for me to do anything with.

(this issue is mostly implementation notes)

On Windows, during startup, download and extract steamcmd from official link (https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd.zip) if not already present

Support updating (and loading) both subscribed steam mods, and ones that aren't handled by steam
(handled separately because the latter will potentially be uninstalled by steam if put in the same place)

some relevant commands:
login anonymous
force_install_dir (makes a steamapps directory within)
workshop_download_item 211820 <id>

perhaps do this automatically after updating from collection if steamcmd is present and enabled

MultiBound2 seems to store mods in a folder called "program" directly in the C drive. Windows doesn't seem to like this, saying to rename it or that it could cause issues with other programs.

Is there a way to make manually installed mods (the ones you usually put in the "mods" folder, also known for being Zip files instead of Pak) work on a specific instance?

Attempting to run Multibound results in this pop-up:
"The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP140_1.ddl was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."
I have reinstalled multiple times, to no avail.

1. Since for now Multibound lacks any docs, it could benefit from more transparent and responsive UX:
   a) grey out "Launch Instance" if no instances are created
   b) Or, better yet, inform the user that the program needs at least 1 instance (set of mods) to launch via Multibound - and suggest to create one if there are none
   c) option to create "empty instance" for launching vanilla Sb or adding mods manually (for example, in development or debug stages)
2. Add info on where Multibound settings are kept on different systems (for Lin, they are in /home/.local/share/multibound)
3. Backup and restore of storage

I assume that Multibound keeps a separate storage folder for each instance. Which is nice. Having an option to backup player/universe (for example, by zipping it with a timestamp and optional "comment" string in the name) in one click and restore it (by looking through saved zips and listing them in date/alphabet order starting from the most recent) would be even more cool.

The option to make an instance without workshop mods doesn't appear.

With Multibound 1, I could subscribe to various quality of life mods that I wanted in all my instances and include them with a blank blacklist like so:

"assetSources" : [
		{
			"type" : "workshop",
			"blacklist" : [
			]
		}  
    ]

Is this still possible in Multibound 2?
Also is there any documentation on the instance.json format anywhere? I notice windowTitle doesn't seem to do anything anymore.

After trying to make an instance I was given the error "Failed to download one or more mods. This may be due to Steam maintenance, or due to a missing decryption key. (If you have the Steam version of Starbound, you should have this if your machine has ever downloaded a workshop mod.)" I understand what the error is telling me I just don't understand how to fix the issue, and I should have a decryption key as I have modded Steam Starbound through normal means before.

I have cloned the repo but have no experinece with QtCreator.
Once I open up the project, QtCreator is asking me to configure it.
Since there are no suitable kits found I don't know what to do.
Could you be a little more specific in the installation part please?
