First run UX improvements
Closed this issue · 3 comments
This is what I got on first run:
c0rn3j@Luxuria : ~/Downloads/BeatSyncConsole-0.8.1-linux-x64-63bb3ee/BeatSyncConsole
[0] % ./BeatSyncConsole
[BeatSyncConsole - Info]: Starting BeatSyncConsole v0.8.1.0
[BeatSyncConsole - Info]: Running the latest release of BeatSyncConsole.
[BeatSyncConsole - Info]: configs/BeatSyncConsole.json not found, creating a new one.
[BeatSyncConsole - Info]: configs/BeatSync.json not found, creating a new one.
Would you like to replace the existing configs/BeatSync.json with a new one? (Y/N):
Y
[BeatSyncConsole - Warn]: No enabled custom songs paths found, please manually enter a target directory for your songs in config.json.
[BeatSyncConsole - Info]: BeatSyncConsole cannot run without a valid config, exiting.

Would you like to replace the existing configs/BeatSync.json with a new one? (Y/N):
It does not exist, as the line above says, it should be reworded, or ideally just autodownload it if it does not exist.
No enabled custom songs paths found, please manually enter a target directory for your songs in config.json
The default install path on Linux is:
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Beat Saber
the app should check if this path exists, and if it does, autodetect and use it.
config.json is not a file this app uses.
It is not clear to a new person from this message that they need to edit GameDirectory in BeatSyncConsole.json.
(Granted this is explained in the README)
Setting a GameDirectory that does not exist will result in the same Warn message, it should tell the user that the configured directory does not exist instead.
GameDirectory does not parse ~, I had to manually write out /home/c0rn3j/
I think I have everything fixed except for finding Beat Saber installs on Linux (coming soon:tm:). Can try it out here: https://github.com/Zingabopp/BeatSync/actions/runs/196027002
Everything listed should be fixed in this release: https://github.com/Zingabopp/BeatSync/releases/tag/0.9.0
Tried it, this is an infinitely better experience!
Thanks!
