r2modman version: 3.1.48
same, i looked at the dev tools and i get this error:
it appears just after the progress bar reaches 100%
okay, i did a bit of a shit fix, as i only plan on using this with VotV, i opened the "app.asar", went to "js/app.js" searched for the line "g.default.instance.isProtonGame", and changed it to "true", it now "works". a bit of a duct tape fix, but will work for now (at least for me)
attempted this but sadly it did not work

Worked for me. Thanks. Kind of annoying that the entirety of app.js is in 1 line. I guess it's to save space?

after doing this were you able to ever launch the game or download mods? i havent been able to and nor has avery (we were testing your solution on the discord)

sadly, no. the mods were also broken, when copying files of "shimloader". it tried to copy "ue4ss.dll". but looking at the path, it "doesnt" exist, because it's actually named "UE4SS.dll" so it fails to copy it.
but maybe it's only shimloader, as it just got stuck there. so i dont know what else works (or doesnt)

you can prettify the js to edit it, most sites online allow to import the js from a file, but it will lag your browser when it prettifies the js.
after you unpack the .asar file you can keep everything in a folder, with the original name (and extension). and it will load the app normally, but now it's easier to edit
a way to make r2modman work with votv is running r2modman through proton for some reason this just works without issue buuut i havent met anyone thats loaded into a modded instace because shimloader freaks out on linux for no determinable reason currently im working on installing stuff to try to get it to run
okay, changed line 6366 (prettified) from "["UE4SS/ue4ss.dll", "ue4ss.dll"]," to "["UE4SS/UE4SS.dll", "UE4SS.dll"]," it's now able to download mods correctly
oh sick! do modded instances actually boot at all?
no, im getting this error when starting the game:
yeah ive noticed that
in the proton version i get this
but the part we should pay attention too is
this is a error occurs when playing any modded instance of VotV
so you're running r2modman through steam? or the game?
r2modman through steam
oh, im running it directly through my system lol
im able to get that bottom log by running the game itself through steam
and manually modding it
i have an idea. add the arguments of r2modman to the steam arguments on the game. it might work
actually that might work
here's my output, you might need to modify it:
--mod-dir "/home/overlord/.config/r2modmanPlus-local/VotV/profiles/VotV/shimloader/mod" --pak-dir "/home/overlord/.config/r2modmanPlus-local/VotV/profiles/VotV/shimloader/pak" --cfg-dir "/home/overlord/.config/r2modmanPlus-local/VotV/profiles/VotV/shimloader/cfg"
it starts!
but it stops responding and crashes... even my screenshot crashed ? wtf
"Fatal error!"
i have my screenshots tool to save screenshots to the clipboard, okay, but it did write it to disk:
ah like this?
in my system it just crashed. nothing else, although i might be able to use the path to see too
shimloader-log.txt
it's full of errors. funny (not really) how we went from not being able to download mods to... a lot of errors
wait, i think i know the error, it's being "interpreted" (the arguments) by a windows executable being run through proton, what if the error is it doesnt understand the linux path system it's being given?
im thinking thats what the error might be too
nope, it's getting it correctly (i think):

(in the log)
no, wait, it is the error, it's trying to copy it from a path which "does not exist" for ""windows""
it's something... it does write the dump now in my system. i edited the argument path to include "Z:"
ive never seen a modloader so viciously upset under linux
--mod-dir "Z:/home/overlord/.config/r2modmanPlus-local/VotV/profiles/VotV/shimloader/mod" --pak-dir "Z:/home/overlord/.config/r2modmanPlus-local/VotV/profiles/VotV/shimloader/pak" --cfg-dir "Z:/home/overlord/.config/r2modmanPlus-local/VotV/profiles/VotV/shimloader/cfg"
welp. tried to open the dump with gedit. it crashed... im gonna open it with nano, here's the file btw: (had to add .txt to upload it lol)
crash_2024_05_01_17_44_29.dmp.txt
my fix is definetly working (UE4SS.log), :
UE4SS.log
now im trying to read the crash dump
EDIT: couldn't get much out of it
ive never seen a modloader so viciously upset
now we're two, me and the loader. im upset. and angry
best idea ive got now is straight up making a new version of shimloader for linux. unfortunately my bracket of skills is mostly minecraft modding.
Hmmm, since I'm on NixOS, I can't just edit the app.js file.
Would be nice to see an official fix soon...

even if r2modman support is fixed i dont think the game will ever run mods under linux for some reason unrealshimloader absolutely hates linux and refuses to run under it

i think the issue is much deeper. i tried using RE-UE4SS, which apparently should work in linux, the only difference with shimloader apart from being a different UE4SS is that it doesnt support custom paths, but i did it to see if the game would AT LEAST launch, it doesnt, and crashes still. the only difference is that it didnt load any mods (which is good to pinpoint the issue)

i think you can enable running normal linux executables on nix in the config, and download the tar.gz version in releases.
EDIT: i checked, an apparently you can add "programs.nix-ld.enable = true;" (or use "steam-run", which is the easiest option) to enable it, havent checked if it works or how it works, as im not in my nixos system right now. here's where i found it: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/522822/different-methods-to-run-a-non-nixos-executable-on-nixos
you can use "nix-alien-ld" with nix-ld to automatically detect libraries: https://github.com/thiagokokada/nix-alien?tab=readme-ov-file#usage

super wierd
okay, i got an update on this, it appears that if you remove all the arguments ("--mod-dir "Z:/home/overlord/.config/r2modmanPlus-local/VotV/profiles/VotV/shimloader/mod" --pak-dir "Z:/home/overlord/.config/r2modmanPlus-local/VotV/profiles/VotV/shimloader/pak" --cfg-dir "Z:/home/overlord/.config/r2modmanPlus-local/VotV/profiles/VotV/shimloader/cfg"") it doesnt crash, weird. so the loaders appear to be ""working"", maybe? im gonna try to only give it the mod-dir argument see if maybe the error is in the mods
okay, only putting the mod-dir argument makes it crash:
okay, i tried different things, and, if i enable the UE4SS external console i can check if it did run, if you dont give arguments to the exe it doesnt run UE4SS, if you dont give it enough arguments it gives the unwrap() error, so it needs all or none. when given all it still crashes with the same error.
And as we saw with the RE-UE4SS, paks arent the issue here, maybe i could try disabling some "mods", maybe what's actually loading the mods, see if that is the error
nope, i literally disabled everything in the mods.txt:
still crashes, so, it must just be that UE4SS REALLY hates Linux :c
EDIT: At least i can still play normally and keep everything as is until it works! i can just remove the arguments for now
it's something... it does write the dump now in my system. i edited the argument path to include "Z:"
have you tried disabling HookCallFunctionByNameWithArguments in UE4SS? this makes it stop crashing, and i even tried some mods, it works

wow, it does work! so "HookCallFunctionByNameWithArguments = 0" does fix it! im gonna see if the mods do work, maybe it loads, and loads mods, but maybe they wont work.
okay, they do work! i can finally play votv modded :3
