"A Linux native mod manager for a variety of games"

Homepage: https://github.com/ChrisDKN/Amethyst-Mod-Manager

Package request here: ChrisDKN/Amethyst-Mod-Manager#224

This also requires the libloot python package. Looks like the main program needs an update as well in a separate PR.

I think this is the same package from ur NUR repo right ? I'm tryning it out rn but the nxm scheme handler doesn't seem to work, when i use the "Mod manager download button" nothing happens

[RoGreat]

It's the same package, but it does have some minor changes to fit into nixpkgs. I'll have to check if the --nxm stuff works. maybe it's been changed. No patch errors though so it should've worked.

[RoGreat]

It still works for me. Maybe you have another mod manager that overrides the amethystmodmanager-nxm.desktop in ~/.local/share/applications? Or is that malformed? Also make sure it's on the PATH. I see it's not set to the nix store absolute path (we don't want to continually overwrite the nxm .desktop shortcut)

[keenanweaver]

Can we have strictDeps/__structuredAttrs on each? Otherwise, looks good. Haven't noticed any issues in testing.

I'll do that. Just lazy and do whatever nixpkgs-vet wants lol. I believe strictDeps is already applied on the python packages btw, so just __structuredAttrs.

i removed the previous desktop file and relaunched the app and now it semi work, clicking on the mod manager button does open the app now but it does nothing, no download or anything
i tried running in the terminal (amethyst-mod-manager --nxm <nxm link>) and it did work this time and downloaded the mod as it should, maybe something in the desktop file ?

[RoGreat]

Also check the mimapps.list and mimeinfo.cache in there. Should see something like this in the list:

[Default Applications]

x-scheme-handler/nxm=amethystmodmanager-nxm.desktop
[Added Associations]
x-scheme-handler/nxm=amethystmodmanager-nxm.desktop

[MIME Cache]
...
x-scheme-handler/nxm=amethystmodmanager-nxm.desktop;cdumm-nxm.desktop;

You might have additional mod managers like in my example cdumm-nxm.desktop in use, but that won't work since it's not overriding the default application.

[claymorwan]

ok as it turns out i needed to manually add amethyst to my mimeapps.list since im managing it with nix lol, it's working now thanks
