FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I wrote a Mod Manager in Python.
http://pastebin.com/SNZsgGcz
==How to set up==
Install Python, if you haven't already.
Go to http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=SNZsgGcz and save the file as mm.py
Go to the Command Line and type ./mm.py add-repo sfan.sf.funpic.de
You just added my Reposity to ModManager!
Type ./mm.py config moddir "path_to_your_minetest_mod_folder".
Example: "./mm.py config moddir ~/.minetest/data/mods"
Type ./mm.py update to update the Package List.
Now try ./mm.py install coalmod
coalmod.zip should appear in your folder and the folder coalmod should appear in your minetest mod folder
==Host your own Repo==
Create a Folder called minetest in the root of your Website.
e.g. "yoursite.com/minetest" not "yoursite.com/myfolder/docs/minetest"
Create a file called "PackageList" with a List of your Packages in it(1 Line = 1 Package)
Create a File called Pkg-name for each.
Fill it with this Information and adjust the Name and so on.
Now, upload the tar.bz2/tar.gz/zip/tar of your mod folder to your Site.
You can try installing your Package now:

Browse my Repo for Examples
===Creating a Package which downloads your Gitorious-Repo===
Delete the "File: ..." Line from your Pkg-yourmod
Add "Gitorious:project_name,repo_name,branch" to the file.
Example: http://sfan.sf.funpic.de/minetest/Pkg-worldedit

PS.: I can host your Mods on my Repo if you want: http://sfan.sf.funpic.de/minetest/

Minetest 0.1?

The Version of the Mod Manager is 0.1 Alpha
I changed the Title

Nice and simple. I like it. However, you may want to look into compiling the python script to an exe for Windows at least since many will not install python just for a mod manager.

Could you make it decompress packages?

Is there a certain folder I have to run it from? When I first try to add your repo, I get this:

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/user/.mm/repos.txt'

If I make that folder, I get this:

OSError: [Errno 17] File exists: '/home/user/.mm'

I was testing this on Windows XP and came across a similar error. It seems it expects a folder in C:\Documents and Settings\User\.mm but it doesn't exist. If you make it, it still wont work lol. If I knew more about python I'd try to see if I could fix it.

sfan5, your add-repo code only creates the directory if the directory is already there. Reverse the condition:



I'm not sure if that will work in Python 3, though....

In a later Version

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

if(not os.path.exists(homedir + "/.mm")):

I fixed it, please redownload ModManager

Its a bug, please redownload ModManager:

When I try to do an update I get error 303.

When I update it does this:

Fetching Packages from 'sfan.sf.funpic.de
'..
Traceback (most recent call last):

con.connect()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 754, in connect

I don't know how to fix it

A 303 is a url redirect status code normally you only get this error when the client thinks the url is supposed to be redirected and the response doesn't contain an alternative url.

How would the Pkg file look if the mod had multiple dependencies? Like is there a space between the mods it depends on? A comma no space? A comma then a space? If you can show an example.

A comma without space

I tried setting up my own repo at dtamedia.com for testing before i finished it and it seems the error 303 still exists. Updating your repo gives 303 as well.

Please post any file in .mm, so I can try to fix it!

In the .mm theres 2 text files. pkgs.txt and repos.txt. pkgs is empty and repos contains a single line of:
sfan.sf.funpic.de

I don't know how to fix that, try removing .mm and configurating it again

It adds your repository fine, but when I try to update afterwards:

In ~/.mm there is an empty file called pkgs.txt, and repos.txt with one line that says: sfan.sf.funpic.de

If that doesn't work post the content of the files in a hexadecimal format

Update!

• Fixed "socket.gaierror: [Errno -2] Name or service not known" Bug
• Added List of installed Packages

If you got the "socket.gaierror: [Errno -2] Name or service not known" Error, delete your .mm/repos.txt and add your Repos again

I added a Form to my Repo for Uploading Mods: http://sfan.sf.funpic.de/minetest/
If you want to upload your Mod, feel free to do that

Can you make a mod for upgrading or installing mods from the game console?

yay! seems to work so far on linux. Only issue now is with your directions. I have to do:
python mm.py install coalmod
for example instead of
./mm.py install coalmod


...now to be able to browse the repo of yours to see whats available lol

That's not easy,but i can try

os.execute([command])

Execute an operating system shell command. This is like the C system() function. The system dependent status code is returned.

Just execute your python script from lua.
