DOOMdumper

Utility that streamlines the process of sideloading the UWP Version of DOOM Eternal for modding.

What does it do?

Basically, it makes modding DOOM Eternal on gamepass much easier

1. Using C++/WinRT, DOOMdumper checks the Package Status of DOOM Eternal to make sure the game isn't unnecessarily dumped.
2. Prompts the User for an installation path, and verifies it.
3. Initiates UWPDumper/UWPdumper-lib to dump the game, with appropriate error handling.
4. Extracts the latest included EternalModInjector-UWP

Compilation

This project is currently compiled within Visual Studio 2019. It requires zlib, and the latest Windows 10 SDK. (You may also need to install the WinRT NuGet Package)

This project also relies on UWPdumper-lib and zipper, which are included as submodules.

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/SEWsam/DOOMdumper.git

The Visual Studio Solution should have everything setup from here, but just make sure that the Build Order has UWPInjector/Dumper and zipper above DOOMdumper.

Note for Zipper with Visual Studio:

You may have to add CDirEntry.h and CDirEntry.cpp to the zipper project, then change

#include <CDirEntry.h>

to

#include "CDirEntry.h"

You will also need to change zipper - tools::currentPath() to use _getcwd() instead of getcwd().

This vs. UWP-DOOMdumper (old)

This is a C++ rewrite of the original tool-- pain.

Rationale

Although a Python based tool may be easier to maintain, I feel this rewrite is (big somewhat) justified. The purpose of rewriting this was simple: reduce the invokation of command line tool processes that DOOMdumper has no control of; reduce the frequency of issues related to uncaught errors.

also partially just because I wanted a starting project as I just recently learned c++
