Sorry to hear that. I assume you are on Windows?

 

Could you start Powershell / cmd session and run the executable (type the filename and press Enter).

It should output more information about what is happening.

I managed to got the error shown when I execute the file

I released a new version which outputs more information about this font issue.

Could you re-download (replace the exe and run it again)? Or is this the new exe already?

Hm, interesting. The first line is normal at first start, it just creates a state file if it doesn't exist.

 

The real error happens when my application cannot find a font file to load.

Which doesn't make much sense because it is packaged in the executable...

 

I have pushed a new version which now logs the resource path.

Could you re-download the executable and run it again with powershell/cmd?

WARNING:__main__:Unable to load state file. [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'D:\\libidinous_loader\\state.json'

This is what i get after I run the new file with cmd

Hm, that is strange. The new version should output a line starting with INFO:__main__:Using resource path followed by the path it uses...

And the error line should be 273 now. Did you run the old executable by accident? Or maybe you just were faster than my upload

 

Sorry for making you run these tests, but you are experiencing a very strange error which I cannot reproduce on my Windows VMs.

Execuse me ,where did you put the new executeable in lovers lab or github

It is the same link (gets replaced with every "release"): https://gitgud.io/api/v4/projects/31433/packages/generic/windows/test/libidinous_loader.exe

That is weird... I used the link you give me ,and I downloaded the new file ,I still get the same error message

Open the file explorer and navigate to where the executable is

Shift + Right Click in the folder

Click the option which says something like "Open command window here"/"Command Prompt"/Powershell something

When the black terminal appears, type the file name "libidinous_loader.exe"

Wait for the glorious carnage!

Ok, I have tested it on Windows 10 and 11 now and I cannot reproduce this issue.

My best guess as to what is happening is:

 

a) The executable doesn't have access to the resource path for some reason (I find that unlikely)

b) Some other program like an antivirus or cleaner deletes the files in the resource path as soon as they are created. (That one seems more probable)

 

It certainly feels like an oddball case. Maybe I will look into a fail-safe for this in the future, but right now this is out of scope for this application.

 

If you are running an antivirus, you can check if some files in Temp dirs like "C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp\_MEI..." get deleted (maybe you can whitelist it)

or try to temporarily disable any cleaner (CCleaner or similar?) program which might be running in the background and see if it works.

Also, maybe Windows is messing with the files for some reason: link

 

Sorry that I cannot help you much further than this.

This is probably due to the Linux executable being compiled in a python container image, which is based on bookworm (python:3.12)

Maybe I will just start to statically link the required libraries...

What distro are you on?

[AblativeAbsolute]

Newest update adds parallel downloads!

[yareyaredazeuwu]

looks really good. but i think there is a tiny mistake. i think everything runs in a single thread because when it is downloading a big file it gets stucked. maybe adding threading so the ui runs in a different thread? i don't know how hard it would be though. for the rest looks very good!

This should already be the case. Parallel downloads have been added recently and they are run in a threadpool.

And both the UI and manager of the threadpool are all in separate threads.

 

What exactly do you mean by 'gets stuck'?

If the UI is still responsive (e.g. hover over a button and it changes colour, etc.), this is intended (everything gets locked until the download is complete/cancelled)

If the entire application becomes unresponsive, please make sure to re-download the exe, try it out again and provide me the last.log. Thanks

Linux Mint 21.3

 

[Demonwise]

@AblativeAbsolute Can't download the executable. Whether it is Firefox or Chrome, the file is deleted the moment it is downloaded. Could be Windows Defender but it hasn't said anything about it.  I think the browsers themselves are deleting the file. I understand that a lot of python stuff gets flagged like you mentioned but is there no way to bundle the exe so that browsers don't immediately flip a brick when they download it?

Yes, it is a glibc version issue then. I've looked into statically linking the necessary libraries, but dearpygui (the gui library i use) has some quirks (RPATH attribute) that make this difficult. I would have to compile it from source in the CI or figure out how to properly patch the ELF (binary file provided by upstream dearpygui). There is not proper solution as of yet.

But I am glad to see you managed to compile it yourself. I hope to make this even easier in the future.

Thanks for your feedback.

I do test the Windows executables from time to time on 2 VMs I have lying around, as well as VirusTotal. I couldn't reproduce that problem sadly.

As to your question, I have tinkered with various obfuscation techniques and used things like UPX, but most methods just make it even more likely to trigger some antivirus.

Additionally, even if I found the magic solution against these false positives, they could be rendered irrelevant in a couple of weeks or months.

 

It is unfortunately a burden all Python applications face on Windows due to overzealous banning

 

All in all, I empathize greatly with the frustration, but I am not willing to pour more of my time into these frivolous "protections" as I already have.

 

As to the browsers possibly freaking out, this might be due to downloading an unsigned EXE?

The browsers should definitely give you feedback about a virus detection, but if you run into this problem with other stuff as well, here are some ways to circumvent them:

Firefox: https://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files#Disable_virus_scanning_in_Firefox_preferences_-_Windows

Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/99020

 

Thanks for your feedback!

[bruhlovar69]

Can you make to it warn when a new version is released? You can like to give it a version and make it verify the version number and say to update. You can use github to do it, so it will try to check for version, if number is above it will say to update.

 

Also what are those errors it show?

Newest version adds

• new interface for managing local mods
• experimental check for new loader versions
• improved error handling

[AblativeAbsolute]

You can now add your own mods or change existing ones!

 

Newest version adds experimental support for user defined providers.

 

Notes:

• User defined providers with the same name as "official" providers will override them
• You can use the combo box next to the name field to fill in the name and URL of another existing item
• Improved tooltips will display how you configured your mods
• Improved provider lookup
• URLs must be WHATWG compliant
• Names must only contain lowercase ASCII, digits, _, -
• Branch and Subdir are optional values

[somebody4325]

FYI, you can do git clone --depth 1 to only download the most recent commit, not the entire history. (will drastically speed up downloads!)

Unfortunately, I allow people to specify a string which is passed to git checkout. Either a branch name or commit id, which with a reduced depth might not have been fetched.

[mushroom12345]

heyyy, can you add rjw mech lover fork to the loader?

for the life of me i can't figure out what to do with the providers, not even completely sure if i'm right about what they do, proposing global changes? or only locally?
