Could you please tell me the difference between

lgogdownloader --platform linux --language french --directory /path/to/my/downloads--download

and

lgogdownloader --platform-priority linux,windows --language-priority french,english --directory /path/to/my/downloads--download

Actually, I'd like to ONLY download windows and English versions if no french/linux versions are found. How can I achieve it ? Tried several combination and couldn't achieve what I want. Any idea ?

Hi all .. On my Linux box at the moment and I didn't know about this LGOGDownloader thread until now. I've also "just" discovered LGOG.

I have Ubuntu 14.04.3 64bit (Trusty Tahr) on this machine. I'm thinking about trying LGOG to see how it works.

There is some directions here on how to install and use it on Ubuntu.
(http://www.webupd8.org/2014/08/lgogdownloader-command-line-gogcom-game.html)

I'm going to get the .deb file and use that to install. I downloaded ..

lgogdownloader_2.25-1~webupd8~trusty0_amd64.deb
(14-Sep-2015 10:16 161K)

Sometimes I mess things up using a ppa, so that is why I'm going with the .deb file.

Anyway, I'll be back later with a report on how it went. :)

Edit:

The installation went well and I edited the lgogdownloader config file, logged in and downloaded a game and the extras. Worked good .. No Complaints. :)

--language-priority and --platform-priority options are now removed in git
This also changes the syntax for --language and --platform options

211aa3a Combine priority handling with --platform and --language options
Use "+" as separator to combine values and "," to set priority

Separating values with "," when using language and platform switches enables a priority-based mode: only the first matching one will be downloaded.

For example, setting language to fr+en means both French and English will be downloaded (if available) for all games. Setting language to fr,en means that the French version (and only that one) will be downloaded if available, and if not, the English version will be downloaded.

You're allowed to "stack" codes in the priority string if needed. If you set language to es+fr,en it means it'll download both Spanish (es) and French (fr) versions if they are available, and the English (en) one only if none of French and Spanish are available.

I think you need to add support for another language -- to_the_moon just grew a slovak exe that's not automatically downloaded with lgogdownloader language=all. Thanks.

82aa604 Add language: Slovak

--cover, --no-cover, --no-installers, --no-extras, --no-patches, --no-language-packs and --no-dlc options are removed in git version
--include and --exclude options are used to select what to download/list/repair

3465384 Use include/exclude options to select what to download/list/repair
The default is "--include all --exclude covers"

A great feature I was waiting for eagerly ;)
Thank you again for your work!

Hello all,

I've updated the Debian-Wheezy-Repository and also built a new repository for Debian 8 (Jessie).

More information can be found here:

http://playingtux.com/content/debian-repository-linux-gog-downloader?lang=en

Hey, why would have been the "no extra" option remove? So the programm is no more interesting. Can you explain it? I do not download all extras, when I only need the game.

Edit:
Sorry. Now I have understand. There is the new include and exclude option to define it better. Sorry. Everything is fine and I was wrong. THX for your nice program.

Edit2:
But I have a problem, perhap you could help me? I want to download Sacred 2 Gold, so I use this code:

lgogdownloader --download sacred_2_gold --language german --platform windows --include i

But he wants to download 1954_alcatraz. Can you explain it?

Edit3:

Now I have tried this

lgogdownloader --download sacred_3_gold --language german --platform windows --include i

And the downloader download alcatraz again. I think the downloader does not check, if there is no game and start with the first one in the libary.

Edit 4:
Sorry...today is not my day. The code I have use is wrong- I forget the --game option :facepalm: sorry. Please forget the whole post from me. Here is the correct code:

lgogdownloader --download --game sacred_2_gold --language german --platform windows --include i

Many thanks ! but actually doesn't work for me.

lgogdownloader --platform linux,windows --language fr,en --download

keeps downloading windows versions although I already have the linux binaries on my computer.

I'm trying to dowload KHOLAT which I recently bought.

I tried lgogdownloader --platform windows --language fr --download-file gogdownloader://kholat

and

lgogdownloader --platform windows --language fr --download-file kholat

All I get for both command line is :

Invalid file id kholat: could not find separator "/"

Any idea ?

I don't have KHOLAT, but I can already tell that you're almost certainly using --download-file incorrectly.

If you look under More > GOG Downloader Links, you'll probably find that you need to use something like `--download-file gogdownloader://kholat/installer_win_fr`

As for your second attempt, it'd more correctly look like this:

lgogdownloader --platform windows --language fr --download --game ^kholat$

(--download-file takes GOGDownloader URIs while --download --game takes regular expressions)

Without additional filter flags, the latter one will download the game plus all extras.

Many thanks for taking the time to answer me and for your explanations.

lgogdownloader --platform windows --language fr --download --game ^kholat$ actually works as well as lgogdownloader --platform windows --language fr --download --game kholat
