[Feature Request] Include already Lutris installed GOG games #591

Open LinuxfarmerHH opened 6 months ago

LinuxfarmerHH commented 6 months ago

Linuxmint 21.3 Minigalaxy 1.2.5

Have installed 5 games including big whoppers like BG3 with Lutris. So i set the intall path in Minigalaxy to the same top folder, but these installed are not found. I can only push the "install" button again and the whole games will be downloaded a second time.

Searched for some kind of config to point to the installed folder, what does not exist now.

Is there a workaround or idea, how to include the Lutris installed GOG Games into Minigalaxy?

It depends. If the game is installed in the install path of Minigalaxy, it might be detected just fine. Otherwise, you can perhaps add a gameinfo file to the game directories that looks something like this:

Blackwell Convergence
2.3
65124

The top one is the name of the game, second one the version and the last the game id. You can find all this info at: https://www.gogdb.org/

Hope that helps. At the moment I don't know another workaround. I guess renaming the directory to match the name on GOG would also work in most cases.
