## STARTLINER

wipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwip

A simple (_not yet_) and easy to use (_not yet_) mod manager for [many games](https://silentblue.remywiki.com/ONGEKI:bright_MEMORY) (_more to come_) using [Rainycolor Watercolor](https://rainy.patafour.zip).

Intended for those who just want a glorified `start.bat` clicker, without VHDs, keychips etc.
(for an all-in-one solution, check out the [BlueSteel launcher](https://yozora.bluesteel.737.jp.net/HarmonyPublic/SOS-Kongou)).

Made with Rust (Tauri) and Vue. Contributions welcome.

### Usage

wipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwipwip

```sh
bun install
bun run tauri dev
bun run tauri build
```

### Package format

- [Package format requirements](https://rainy.patafour.zip/package/create/docs/)
- A subset of [the simple Rainycolor format](https://yozora.bluesteel.737.jp.net/HarmonyPublic/SOS-Kongou/wiki/Create-Module#user-content-rainycolor-simple) is currently supported.

More file overrides may be supported in the future.

Arbitrary scripts are not supported by design and that will probably never change.

### Features

- Clean data modding
- Technically multi-platform

### Architecture details

- Downloaded packages are stored in `%APPDATA%\7EVENDAYSHOLIDAYS\STARTLINER\data\pkg` (on Linux it's `~/.local/share/startliner` by default).
- Each profile is associated with a prefix directory `%APPDATA\7EVENDAYSHOLIDAYS\STARTLINER\data\profile-x` which includes the following:
    - `option` with junctions of vanilla opts as well as Rainycolor package opts
    - `BepInEx` with Rainycolor mods copied over
        - It's currently pointless to symlink those since they are measured in kilobytes
    - `segatools.ini` generated on-the-fly and pointing at `option`
        - It's currently based on the existing `segatools.ini` but that will change in the future
    - `aime.txt` (if enabled)

### Todo

- Auto-updates
- Running from CLI
- Multiple profiles
- CHUNITHM support
- segatools as a special package
- Progress bars and other GUI sugar
- Search bar
- Start check

### Endgame

- IO DLLs and artemis as special packages
- Other arcade games (if there is demand)
