on last thing, dose the old installer marked as orphaned?
will it show with:
lgogdownloader --check-orphans

I'm trying to figure this out - is there any way to download/collect game infos, like for example gogrepo does? Release date, genre, url, user rating, stuff like that. Similar to what lgogdownloader already does with patchnotes.

Hello there,

I have a problem that I want to blacklist certain patches from (re) downloading. i only want future patches and_not_ the current ones (that don"t have a matching installer left).

I put each and every patch I don"t want in the blacklist like e.g.:

Rp starpoint_gemini_2/patches/setup_starpoint_gemini_2_2.0.0.1_(32bit)_(40571).exe

but the patch is still downloading

blacklisting full games e.g.

Rp starpoint_gemini_2

worked so far,, though.

I use:

lgogdownloader --repair --download --game '^starpoint.*' --report --platform=w+l --save-changelogs --language=en --enable-login-gui --create-xml=automatic --no-platform-detection --directory=/backups./

what am I doing wrong?

thanks :)

Because blacklist uses regex you need to escape parentheses
Rp starpoint_gemini_2/patches/setup_starpoint_gemini_2_2.0.0.1_\(32bit\)_\(40571\).exe

Technically you'd need to escape all the perl regex metacharacters but I don't think GOG uses any other metacharacters besides parenthesis and dots in file names.

Rp starpoint_gemini_2/patches/setup_starpoint_gemini_2_2\.0\.0\.1_\(32bit\)_\(40571\)\.exe
Escaping the dots is kinda unnecessary because I doubt there are file names similar enough for it to cause issues.

Ah,yes I"d thought it's something like that. Thanks a lot, again :)

Ummm, wow. Nice. Thank you man.

Hello Sude, thanks for the new version.

Are there any security reasons to build the executable in /usr/bin/?
Asking because I'd rather build it in home.

Thank you.

Hello

Hoping someone can help here as I'm not too sure what the source of the problem is given I've updated both MacOS (to 14.0) and lgogdownloader (to 3.12), plus a bunch of other brew libraries since this all last worked. But right now, running the tool gives me this exception:

libc++abi: terminating due to uncaught exception of type boost::filesystem::filesystem_error: boost::filesystem::status: Invalid argument [system:22]: "/Volumes/Gaming/Computer_Windows/GOG/majesty_2_collection/serials.txt"

Any ideas what I should be reverting here?

Thanks

Update:

It actually seems there's something wrong with the disk, not the tool or any other dependency. The directory /Volumes/Gaming/Computer_Windows/GOG/majesty_2_collection doesn't exist so I tried to create it - nope. If I try to delete it, I get an "invalid" error. Yet if I try to delete some other directory that doesn't exist, I get an error saying no such directory, as expected.

Maybe something in the disk's file table is borked. I'll run some tools over it that will hopefully resolve the issue.

What do I need to specify in blacklist.txt config file in case of using galaxy download? For example, I want to prevent CP2077 from downloading redmod.

So I'm using such command in general:

lgogdownloader --galaxy-platform w --delete-orphans --subdir-galaxy-install "cyberpunk_2077" --galaxy-install 1423049311

While running it from game's Wine prefix drive_c

So that populates game in .../drive_c/cyberpunk_2077

So what I need to blacklist is .../drive_c/cyberpunk_2077/tools/redmod

What do I need to put in $HOME/.config/lgogdownloader/blacklist.txt ?

This didn't seem to work:

Rp cyberpunk_2077/tools/redmod/.*

Even this didn't work which looked most generic:

Rp .*/tools/redmod/.*

Same question I suppose is for ignorelist.txt

Blacklist and ignorelist are not implemented for --galaxy-install
There was an assumption which I made when adding galaxy support that --galaxy-install wouldn't need blacklist or ignorelist support so it was never implemented.
It should be fairly simple to add support for both features so I'll try to add them when I have some time to work on the downloader again.

Thanks! A useful feature with that could be also ad-hoc blacklists / ignorelist (i.e. not one global blacklist / ignorelist).

Since sometimes you want to have two copies of the game with different rules (such as one for modding for example and one for playing).

Thank you!

Will you also add ignore list support for it sometime later? Preventing mods from being wiped out when using delete orphans would rely on that.

I forgot to mention that ignorelist support for --galaxy-install is already implemented.
I never used it myself so I actually forgot that I implemented it 6 years ago (672e6f8) xD
