[Game Request] tModLoader #64

Closed NotAShelf closed 1 year ago

NotAShelf commented 1 year ago

tModLoader is an extensive modding API for Terraria, providing both a modding client and a server client in the same package.

This is more of a TODO and a discussion issue than a "request", as I intend to get to it myself soon.

Q: Would we be able to be able to use home-manager options to

  1. auto-start server on launch, this should be as simple as providing a systemd service hooked to a hm option
  2. provide options such as port or player count in the home-manager module, which translate to flags appeneded to the server start script
  3. optionally wrap the player client with steam-run and SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11

Why have it be a HM module? I think having it as a NixOS module would be better, since people who run servers usually don't have HM installed there.

In that case we probably should separate the modules. I don't think a game client belongs to nixos modules.

Any updates on this, @NotAShelf?

At the moment, no. I was not able to figure out a proper way to handle configuration file (for both client and server) last time and postponed the project due to my sheer lack of free time. I might return to this next week.

All right!
