Having a hard time installing and setting up on Pop OS Linux #231

Closed Kamoedesu closed 3 years ago

Kamoedesu commented 3 years ago

I've been able to make it as far as the last step of manual install, I can get the list of commands to open up in Terminal with ./ffmt but trying to use any of the commands to continue with the setup simply gives me command 'ffmt' not found.

Bear in mind I'm a very new Linux user, barely a few days into it at this point and I have very little knowledge of anything so far, so I wouldn't be offended by being told I did something wrong.

Try to run chmod +x ffmt in the folder which contains the ffmt executable and run ./ffmt help afterwards.

EDIT: I got it, I wasn't being specific enough. I'll leave this open in case I have any additional issues, but I think I might have the hang of it by now.

Kamoedesu commented 3 years ago

I've got it up and running, most of my mods are functional except for one, I'm getting an error 

ERROR: There was an error importing a modpack.
Message: The given key 'mdl' was not present in the dictionary.

Is that just a limitation of the tool, or is that something I can fix?

fosspill commented 3 years ago

@shinnova was just able to reproduce the issue independently! She's been troubleshooting for a while already.

It would be super helpful if you could mention which mod it is, and if it is something you'd rather not write here please send me an email or tell me how you'd prefer to be in touch about it!

@shinnova managed to make the issue happen with this mod. "NudaTheQueen"

I don't mind, it's sfw and it's "Naty's Mani-Pedi Mega Pack". So far I haven't encountered issues with any of my other ttmp files besides this particular one, so my overall experience in XIV on Linux has been a resounding success thanks to people like you and everyone else who's made this tool work as well as it does.

If you use Discord and you'd prefer to talk there for faster response times, let me know and I'll give you my ID.

I think I managed to find the root cause of the issue and have fixed it. I can't reproduce the error on my end anymore, but if you don't mind, could you test this build for me and let me know if it works for you too?

Kamoedesu commented 3 years ago

I can, I just need to know some things since I'm still very new to this. Do I need to back anything up, and how do I go about setting up this new build, is it a simple "extract and it works" or do I need to refer back to the setup guide again as if I was doing this again from the start?

shinnova commented 3 years ago

It's a simple extract and it works. You can even overwrite your previous files, it won't hurt anything. ^^

Kamoedesu commented 3 years ago

Excellent, it all worked perfectly! The mod works now, and that concludes my full mod backup on my new OS. Thank you so much for the help, and I'm glad I was able to be of some menial assistance myself.

fosspill commented 3 years ago

No, thank you for making FFMT just a slight bit better!

A full new release will soon be out with a couple of other small fixes as well. Closing the issue, but make as many as you want and ask all the questions you need. Going from (presumably) Windows to Linux and then using command-line tools is not a small step :)
