Nimble is (or will be) a Swifty-compatible, cross platform, (currently) CLI only mod manager for Arma 3. It is being built because I want to play with my Swifty using group on Linux :)
In order of priority:
- Full compatibility with Swifty
- Support all major platforms where you can reasonably run Arma 3 (Windows, Linux w/ Proton, maybe macOS?)
- Have decent usability
- This implies some form of user interface system. Rust's GUI story is kinda wonky, so maybe we'll have to settle for a TUI
- Generate Swifty repositories (swifty-cli create equivalent)
- Create symlinks instead of copying mod files
- Switch to proper errors instead of
snafu::Whatever
- There's also way too much unwrapping because I got lazy
- Implement part level downloading, instead of redownloading entire files
- Clean up Path vs PathBuf vs &str vs String
- RelativePath and RelativePathBuf should be used in most cases.
- We still need to convert Windows backslashes to a sane separator on *nix platforms
- Use rayon for srf generation
- Investigate why download speeds are kinda wonky
- Seems to be an issue with my connection to the repo I was using for testing?
- Properly deal with invalid PBOs
