Hey, not great with file directories. Where exactly am I supposed to put the executable exactly? In the git directory or in rimworld's directory? Thanks in advance

Can be anywhere, its just an tool to help to download mods, I recommend on workspace

I don't know if it's been mentioned but I'm using a steam deck and the window doesn't seem to be resizable so the bottom of the window gets cut off after installing mods.

UPDATE: I've opened a PR.

 

It looks like it is hard-coded into the _init_.py. You can resize the window... but only by extending the height - which can't go smaller than the 800px as it is. After taking the default Plasma configuration into account, it takes up around 602 x 880p of screen real estate.

 

For compatibility purposes: a good minimum VIEWPORT_HEIGHT could be 640. This takes into account a user could use a 720p display, as well as Plasma's default panel height and window decorations. Easily fitting the Deck's 1280x800 display.

 

The offending code ( found here         )

dpg.create_viewport(
	title="Libidinous Loader",
	width=VIEWPORT_WIDTH,
	min_width=VIEWPORT_WIDTH,
	max_width=VIEWPORT_WIDTH,
	height=VIEWPORT_HEIGHT,
	min_height=VIEWPORT_HEIGHT,
	resizable=True,
	x_pos=LAST_XPOS,
	y_pos=LAST_YPOS,
)

If your Windows user account consists Chinese/Korean/Japanese (Possibly anything other than standard alphabet?) this .exe will crash shortly after only showing cmd screen. I have no idea what's causing this, but I bypassed it by creating new windows user account which only consists alphabet. 

 

You can delete accound after installation, or just keep it for future update since it will only take up 2~3gb of spaces.

A much more elegant solution. I've closed my PR.

latest version window is too small and its not respecting scale settings 
Increasing window size the letters are still too small older version did not had this issue 

 

[ShalaxiHelbane]

Most recent windows version appears to be being flagged as malware by NordVpn

[AblativeAbsolute]

Newest version adds:

• CRITICAL CHANGE: Support for a new format v1 of the providers list, breakage of older loaders is possible
• Local Mods directories can now be opened from the Local Mods tab

• Better support for different desktop resolutions
• Try to use native directory selector dialog

[AblativeAbsolute]

Libidinous Loader has been re-implemented on top of a new architecture.

May include 🦀.

 

You can check the parent or check out the repository.

 

Pros for users include:

• Faster download speeds due to proper threading
• A self update system to handle updates automatically
• Experimental auto detection of steam folders
• You can resize the goddamn window without breaking the UI
• Better support for Unicode, including paths with cyrillic characters on e.g. russian localized machines
• New UI framework with better support for layout, fonts, icons, screen readers etc.

YMMV:

• Less of a problem with antivirus false positives

Q - In the Tab "Local Mods" there are Buttons "Optimize PNGs"... 1. Are they really doing something. And if it really Optimize the PNGs in Game... 2. Possible to get a "Optimize ALL" Button. Pushing more then 100 Times this thing is crazy... THX

 

ADD - BTW THX for your Work on this "Manager"

That feature was mainly meant for other mod developers to optimize their mods before release. You are probably better off using RimPy for this job.

Also, this tells me you are still on the legacy python version.

Development has shifted to the "Rustic Edition". You can get it from here: https://gitgud.io/AblativeAbsolute/libidinous_loader.rs/-/releases

 

Cheers!

i have this issue, all the cinderHead is bugged and all the B.E.P have the same issue

[daskolin]

Do you have hats display selection?

[Hidden User]

Having an issue since the last update where the mod loader closes itself down once it starts loading the mods in the UI.

 

Tried a few different things and nothing seems to help. 

[Scootaloofishbait]

Crashes as soon as i try opening. Does it have something to do with Git or a small error on my end?

Hi, since update 0.0.20 the Programm immeaditly crashes.

 

This is the Console Output:

anyway to fix this ?

[Acornins]

Same issue as Scoot and Hidden User. I click the launcher, it opens for a split sec - I see a bunch of red errors then it crashes. I can't use a previous version either because it forces you to update because a new version is detected :x.

 

Edit - for those with the same issue, I went into the RJW discord. 

Delete config.json. On linux it is in ~/.config/libidinous_loader.rs/. On windows it is in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\ablativeabsolute\libidinous_loader.rs, according to the documentation.

 

Shout out to the person on discord for finding that out!

Ditto here, issue with the opening, i open it, stays for a second and then immediatly closes with the same red errors

[Malicardy]

Maybe I'm missing something extremely simple here, but I can't get the program to recognize that I do indeed have git installed.

 

*for anyone else who runs into this issue, I figured it out and it was indeed something simple I overlooked.

 

When I installed git I just let it install to whatever location it wanted, which happened to be in a windows UAC secured location. Running the Libidinous Loader in administrator mode fixed my problem.

There a way to contact a dev?

ElToro / rjw-elt-baddon · GitLab in particular has errors

 

First, there is no settings option for it as described in About.xml or git. 

 

Second, error spam particular verb-

 

Exception ticking Jialiang (at (144, 0, 124)): System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: Activator.CreateInstance(type) called with a null type, possible context=NuzzleSex

VE gives idea of what conflict may be, have removed them all, still re-occure. Exception don't even apply to Eltoro Baddon itself either, funnily enough, just throws exception stack to other unrelated mods (that even when removed pose no fix, only removin baddon fixes.)

Release 0.0.22

 

What's new:
- 🔒🔑 Provider locking: Lock a mod under Mod Providers, so an installation does not update it, even when selected. (Useful when you manually manipulate mods)
  - Note: This feature must first be enabled in the Settings and all locks will be removed if it is disabled again.

- Changed default UI run mode to reactive (Should be easier on the CPU and reportedly less problems with not responding heuristics)
- More robust config loading (Partially invalid configs will still be loaded)
- Added scroll areas to Load Order categories
- More icons!

It must be loaded after RJW, or it's some other load order issue as I had encountered this as well and that is what fixed it for me. +1 for wishing to contact a dev though

Yeah this fixed it.

The About.xml doesn't have anything in loadorder <li> so just added RJW there and all the better.
