You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time.
I’m on the same quest, perhaps going about it in a more extreme way, sorry for the shameless plug, but this might be something you’re interested in: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/18644qf/junkstore_05_released_epic_games_right_within
It’s still in the early phases of development, but if you’re handy with scripting or a bit of python you can go a long way with what I’ve created already.
You’d have to edit the script to pass the sd dir to legendary, add the --game-folder
switch and the dir you want to use (maybe add the game name to it, not sure how that works in practice), this is the file to edit, in the download function on line 47: https://github.com/ebenbruyns/junkstore/blob/main/defaults/scripts/junk-store.sh
copy the init.json file and scripts dir to ~/homebrew/data/Junk-Store and you can edit them to your hearts content.
Nobody buys epic games, we all get them free, I only have 230… I got started a bit late. I missed GTA V…
just having a look at the legendary switches you could call it with install --update-only passing the game name to it from the get-epic-args.sh script in ./scripts to do an update - obviously you wont get a nice UI progress bar etc.
The more I think about it the more I think an “actions” type menu on the game details page would be useful for stuff like this.
Yeah I consider it still to be beta quality, thank you for your kind words around the UI, I’ve had a bit of help but generally I’m terrible at UI.
If you can figure out the steps that causes the duplicate short cut creation I can try to solve that issue - it’s not the best solution at the moment but it’s not a simple problem either. I do not do anything around artwork, the steamgriddb plugin is the way to go, I will talk to the steamgriddb guy about potentially integration and automatically do something around this.
for one it can do more than heroic does with the right scripts, I’ve got dos and win 3x games running through this. It’s extensible so if you can script it, it can do it.
But as far as epic games only… it’s probably still lacking a bit…
I’ve submitted it, but it will take some time for it to get sorted and published in the main channel.
steam community templates might work, cloud saves, don’t know it’s dependent on legendary (which heroic uses too). If enough people motivate me I’ll have a crack to see what can be done around this.
you will have to edit the download function in scripts/junk-store.sh to add a game install path, not something I’ve looked into yet but there’s plans around this and creating a ui for that
