Re: [Tool] GUI for installing and updating mods from GitHub

Thanks for the list! I've written a Python script to clean it up a bit, eliminating duplicates, dropbox links, etc., see munge_mods.py in this repo: https://github.com/mdoege/gitsync-devel

After cleanup, there are 762 mods left. There is still more to do, e.g. Mesecons has some bad links, but I think this is looking good so far. A major problem is that some forum topics have commas in their titles; you should filter them out or quote the topics. (Python would do this automatically when writing a CSV file.)

I've put an updated version of gitsync.py in the same repo. I think we will need an iTunes-like search box now or nobody will find anything in this monster list. :-)

Perhaps I should start thinking about moving this to PyQt. A real table with searching or sorting by columns (last updated, most votes, etc.) would be nice but is hard to do with Tk I believe. (Although there is Tktable.) The question is just how much more complicated installation would get on Windows with Qt as a dependency.

The development version is now available in the main MT-GitSync repo, featuring 755 built-in mod URLs. Thanks again dgm5555 for providing the big forum mod list!

Added a lot of automatic mod dependencies in the latest MT-GitSync version.

Wow, what about adding command line support (like linux package managers) and a self-updating mod list (via github)?

Like this:

Code: Select all

$ mtpm install digiline-stuff # install a mod
$ mtpm remove digiline-stuff # uninstall a mod
$ mtpm update # update mod list
$ mtpm update-mods # update mods
And even subgames support?
(I think this is much better than MMDB!)

Is that a problem? py2exe, py2app, cx_Freeze and similar can pack python programs into executables, but not for linux. But it's not a problem, all linux repos have python, so simply start your package manager and install python.
Like this on debian:

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-get install python

I don't think it will, minetest-bower is much better in my opinion. And MTPM will eventually be able to be used in-game to download mods.

Wow!!! MTPM already exists! What about integrating it with this program (sharing the mod list)?

I was originally going to use this list, but it's too inaccurate for my needs. MTPM_Lists is much more accurate.

Does this mean MTPM is better than this tool?

There are probably some ways. But, I didn't have to install a boatload of stuff that doesn't make it work anyway... Got fed up with trying to get MTPM working because of some missing dependency that doesn't seem to give proper error messages either, so I quit trying to get it working, because in the long run I would waste more time trying to get it to work than cloning repos in the terminal...
To me, this python program is nicer, as it runs basically out of the box (unless your distro doesn't have tkinter installed by default, which is however clearly stated in the first post, along with the names of the correct packages to install).

Although I don't really use a graphical package manager anyway these days, but this tool is very good for getting started.

MTPM is buggy at the moment, and a work in progress. I've discovered that LuaRocks absolutely sucks as a way to install dependencies.

I'd suggest Minetest-Bower as a command line installer over MTPM.

In theory yes, however, I haven't been able to find bower for openSUSE, so I can't use that either...

Dartmouth, bower is installed as a node package. First install node.js and npm (node package manager) then do sudo npm install -g bower

Done.

Ruben, if you have a more accurate mod list, I'd gladly incorporate that.

Of course my tool is all about cloning GitHub repos, whereas other MT package managers I've seen so far download and unzip archive files, so mod lists might not be easily interchangeable.

I have updated the mod list today; now there are 1,096 mods in total.

P.S. And now it's back down to 1,006 mods after I have removed some repos that have been deleted on GitHub.

Here's some more you could remove. I've confirmed they are dead - No files for download at the link provided. I have a number to add from my new_mods.csv. I'll post them after I've converted them to big_modlist_edit.csv format. Loving this tool! :)

Thanks, izzyb! I've updated my MT-GitSync and gitsync-devel repos and also added the new entries from new_forum_mods.csv. Now we have 1,073 mods… :-)

Here's another list of entries that can be removed from the big list. I went through the list looking for duplicate entries. These are the duplicates that appear to point to the wrong file. I haven't verified if the repositories being pointed to have correct entries in the list.
