- Multi-distribution launching
- Live, Test, QA/Dev (cannot test QA but it should work)
- Launch all at the same time without redownloading the default launcher
- Portable
- Can be moved to whatever location of your choice
- Creates folders in the directory you put it in - so make a folder for it to reside in
- Multi-platform
- Tested on Windows 10 and Linux (Ubuntu 18.04.4)
- Likely works on MacOS (cannot test or compile)
- Supports downloads
- No need for default launcher
- GUI
- Basic functionality
- With option to run in command line
- Stylish look
- Resolution Scaling
- Download progress
- Blog posts
- Release notes
- Credential remembering
- Usernames
- Password (This would be a security issue even if handled correctly, so might not)
- Localization Support (Useless? Not sure if the game supports other languages but nice feature anyways)
- English localization
- Game settings configuration
- Live version appears to get stuck after initial download. Unsure of cause as the actual game binary is what is getting stuck, not my launcher. Will investigate further. Workaround: just relaunch.
- Patching with TLOPO's patch files is non-functional (I'm unsure if this will break things in the future)
- Binary is somewhat large compared to code, bloated w/ unused python modules
You'll have to download the following packages with your distro's package manager:
- libopenal
- libCg
- libCgGl
- libpng12
Make sure tlopo_test is also set to allow executing. You can run this command from the terminal to accomplish this:
- sudo chmod +x tlopo_test
