# A Bethesda game mod manager for Linux

This mod manager is made a protect the game files & mods files at all costs.
if an operation or a mod tries to modify the files they will be stocked in and overlay folder (~/.local/share/modmanager/UPPER_DIRS/appid)

this mod manager will try to enable casefold inside the mods folder as a way of ensuring that there will not be two file with the same name.

mods conflicts are solved by priority, currently we still have to implements
a way to change the priority.


```
Use --list-games or -l to list compatible games
Use --add or -a <APPID> <FILENAME> to add a mod to a game
Use --list-mods or -m <APPID> to list all mods for a game
Use --install or -i <APPID> <MODID> to add a mod to a game
Use --uninstall or -u <APPID> <MODID> to uninstall a mod from a game
Use --remove or -r <APPID> <MODID> to remove a mod
Use --deploy or -d <APPID> to deploy the mods for the game
Use --unbind <APPID> to rollback a deployment
Use --fomod <APPID> <MODID> to create a new mod using the result from the FOMod
```

## How to contribute:
if you have creation engine based games not listed in src/steam.h
please open an issue with the EXACT name of the game folder in steamapps/common/

otherwise if you know how to code in c don't be scared to create mr or suggest changes.

don't try to make me change the licence i chose GPL-2 on purpose and i won't use GPL-3.

## Compilation and install instructions:
download a version from the releases(please avoir a simple clone of the git).
