I've seen a bunch of people online confused as hell when trying to use steamodded, so I decided to make a dead simple installer. This script automatically grabs the latest version of lovely & steamodded, so it should always be up to date.

Requirements: be able to open powershell and copy/paste like 3 things

Instructions on the github repo:

Need this for Linux on my steamdeck.

It's in powershell so someone needs to make a bash version

#

Powershell is on linux but like, why would you use powershell on linux lmao

cosmic star
#

Real. I tried to install steammodded and Lovely on my steamdeck last night and it was a nightmare I really dont like Linux

cloud current
#

I can take a look tomorrow and see how different the install process is for linux, no promises but I’ll look into it

cosmic star
#

I don't think its too different but its just the fact of trying to install and open apps on Linux. So much more complicated than an exe file. And I feel like I always have to go into the console for crap.

Yeah i hear you. I could easily wrap this all into an exe, problem is windows antivirus is going to complain about unsigned code and think it’s a trojan. This way windows defender doesn’t complain

But still, it’ll just be a one-liner to start the whole process, I can’t imagine it’ll be too difficult. I’ll definitely look into it

# glass patio The terminal is so much better than the Windows command prompt though

I don't even use Windows command prompt hardly ever. But like last night I just tried to install discord and I downloaded it from the website and clicked on it to open it and it was zipped and I needed to install an unzipper and after that it didnt just run the file. I had to search online and be provided code to throw into the Konsole to install discord. Windows I go and install the exe file for Discord and it runs the installer thats all I want.

#

It just feels like a lot of unnecesary hoops to jump through.

Yeah on linux, you either use a package manager or terminal. You can still download and install programs, but generally it’s not the easiest way

On Ubuntu based Linux you just download the deb and there's a gui package already there go install it

cosmic star
#

^ Thats what I want

#

But alas I guess thats what SteamOs uses so fuck me ig

glass patio
#

And apt, the cli package manager on Ubuntu which you don't technically have to use usually is really easy

#

Sudo apt install [program]

#

That's it

cloud current
#

Even on debian/ubuntu, you’ll still end up in the terminal a fair bit. It might seem daunting at first but it has its strengths (and weaknesses)

glass patio
#

I like the terminal for stuff like installing software tbh

cosmic star
#

honestly ChatGPT was helping me quite a bit as someone who only touches Linux when using the Steam Deck. It provided all the lines of code to install discord right away

^Sheeeeeeesh

#

updated to no longer need go or ghrel. just uses github API to download the latest release of lovely. this also makes the install process 3x faster

cloud current
#

i'm working on a linux version, but just keep in mind that this step (from the lovely injector github) will still need to be done manually:
Only Steam Deck / Proton / Wine Set your game's launch options in Steam to WINEDLLOVERRIDES="version=n,b" %command%

Everytime i try to use it, bitdefender kills it, what do i do?

cosmic star
#

Hey @cloud current Just wanted to let you know that your Linux code works! But how do I get to my mods folder?

You can also download the install script (https://github.com/fosterbarnes/steamoddedEZinstaller/releases/download/v1.0/STMDinstaller.ps1) add this file as an exclusion in bitdefender (https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/13427/) then right click "STMDinstaller.ps1" and select "run with powershell"

How to exclude files and folders from Bitdefender Antivirus scan

#

The script is creating temporary directories, downloading things, copying .dll files and deleting temp folders. this looks suspicous to any antivirus (specifically the lovely version.dll file)
