Nimble

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 :)

Goals

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

Big bucket list of things to do:

  • 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
