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 above
• xdelta3
• gtk3
• libappindicator3
• webkitgtk
• openssl
• fuse2

As well as these dependencies to run AM2R:

• libopenal1:i386
• libpulse0:i386

Optionally, for APK creation any Java runtime is needed.

Arch Linux

On Arch Linux, you can install these by running this:
(Multilib repositories are required, instructions on how to enable them can be found here)
sudo pacman -S --needed dotnet-runtime fuse2 gtk3 libappindicator-gtk3 openssl webkit2gtk xdelta3 lib32-openal lib32-libpulse jre-openjdk

For other distros, refer to your local package manager for instructions.

Downloads

Downloads can be found at the Release Page.

Alternatively, for Arch Linux users an AUR Package also exist. 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 AM2RLAUNCHERDATA="D:\MyLauncherData" or AM2RLAUNCHERDATA="/mnt/bigDrive/launcherData").

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.

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.
