Oxide Mod Manager

A simple GUI tool built with Slint and Rust to help uncompress game archives (RAR, ZIP, 7z) and move their contents into a target game directory.

Features

• Select a source directory containing compressed game mod files (.rar, .zip, .7z).
• Select a target game directory.
• Uncompresses archives found in the source directory into a temporary location (.temp/).
• Moves the uncompressed contents from the temporary directory into the target game directory.
• Options:
  • Overwrite existing files in the target directory.
  • Extract directly to the game directory (faster, less disk usage, but prevents creating backups).
• Cross-platform GUI built with Slint.
• Safety first: Usage of symlinks instead of copying over extracted files.

Getting Started

Installation

Recommended: Download the latest pre-built binary for your operating system from the GitHub Releases page.

Alternatively: Build from source (see below).

Building from Source

Prerequisites

1. Rust Toolchain: Install Rust and Cargo from rustup.rs.
2. Git: To clone the repository.

Steps

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/pezfisk/OxideManager.git
   cd OxideManager
   

2. Setup SteamGridDB API Key: Create a file named .env in the root directory and add the following line:

   STEAMGRIDDB_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY
   

3. Build (Native):

   cargo build --release
   

   The executable will be in target/release/.

Slint Backend and Style Configuration

You can configure the Slint backend (e.g., winit, qt, gtk) and style (fluent, material, cupertino, cosmic) at compile time:

Slint backend:

1. Environment Variables (Temporary):

   export SLINT_BACKEND=winit
   cargo build --release
   
   

2. Cargo Configuration (Persistent): Edit .cargo/config.toml in the project root:

   # .cargo/config.toml
   [env]
   SLINT_BACKEND = "winit"
   

Style:

1. Modify the style in build.rs for your platform:

   "linux" => {
       config = config.with_style("cosmic".into());
   }
   

2. Then run cargo clean && cargo build --release.
