AM2RLauncherRewrite

This is the repository for the AM2RLauncher-Rewrite.

What is this?

A front-end application that simplifies installing the latest AM2R-Community-Updates, creating APKs for Android use, as well as Mods for AM2R. It supports Windows (x86/x64) as well as Linux (x64).

Dependencies

Windows needs the .NET Framework 4.8 runtime installed.
Linux needs the following dependencies installed:

• .NET Core 5.0 runtime or later. .NET Core 6.0 is preferred.
• xdelta3
• gtk3
• libappindicator3
• webkitgtk
• openssl
• fuse2

As well as these dependencies to run AM2R:

• 32-bit version of libpulse
• 32-bit version of openal
• 32-bit version of your graphics drivers

Optionally, for APK creation any Java runtime is needed.

For more detailed instructions check out the installation process wiki page.

Downloads

Downloads can be found at the Release Page.

For all Linux users, a Flatpak is available and can be installed with all above dependencies bundled. This method is the recommended way for Steam Deck users.

Alternatively, for Arch Linux users an AUR Package also exists. Install it with makepkg -si or use your favourite AUR helper.

Configuration and Data Files

The AM2RLauncher stores its files in the following places:

• On Windows, it stores the config file to the AM2RLauncher.exe.config next to the binary, and its data files in the same folder as the binary.
• On Linux, it stores the config file to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/AM2RLauncher and its data files to $XDG_DATA_HOME/AM2RLauncher (which are defaulting back to ~/.config and ~/.local/share respectively).

The AM2RLauncher data can get quite big, so if you wish to change where it stores it, you can do so with the AM2RLAUNCHERDATA environment variable (i.e $env:AM2RLAUNCHERDATA="D:\MyLauncherData" or AM2RLAUNCHERDATA="/mnt/bigDrive/launcherData"). Data files are different for each OS, you cannot mix and match them!

If you wish to redistribute the AM2RLauncher to some Linux distro, you can use the NoAutoUpdate configuration, in order to build the AM2RLauncher with the auto-updating features disabled. Further assets (.desktop file, icon, appdata) can also be found in this directory: ./AM2RLauncher/distribution/linux.

Compiling Instructions:

Dependencies

For compiling for Windows .Net Framework 4.8 SDK is needed. For Linux and Mac .Net Core 5.0 SDK or later is needed.

Windows Instructions

Open the solution with Visual Studio 2019.
Alternatively, build via dotnet build / the buildAll batch file.

Linux Instructions

In order to build for linux, use dotnet publish AM2RLauncher.Gtk -p:PublishSingleFile=true -p:DebugType=embedded -c release -r ubuntu.18.04-x64 --no-self-contained, MonoDevelop sadly doesn't work.
You have to specify it to build for Ubuntu, even on non-Ubuntu distros, because one of our Dependencies, libgit2sharp fails on the linux-x64 RID.
For Arch Linux users, an am2rlauncher-git AUR Package also exists.

Mac Instructions

You can open the solution with Visual Studio for Mac, but it likely will crash after compliation. Use dotnet publish AM2RLauncher.Mac -c release instead.
Note that Mac is currently unsupported. We will try to answer questions, but cannot guarantee to fix issues with Mac.
