Hi! This lets RecompLauncher install TotK Recomp and set it up from the player's own files. The player picks their base game, the update and their prod.keys once. The launcher builds the game into a TotK folder next to the setup and starts it from there. It also shows language, frame rate, window, upscaling and overlay settings on the game's page.

  • recomplauncher.json is shipped in every release, at the top of the Windows zip and at /recomplauncher.json in the AppImage.
  • The "Get it on RecompLauncher" badge is in the README.
  • docs/installer.md has a new "For a launcher" section.

Code changes

Each is opt-in: it only applies when the launcher or a script passes the new argument, and everything starts exactly as before without them.

  • python -m installer --prepare … prints progress <0-1> <text> lines in place of the JSON events. It defaults to en-US on a first install.
  • The AppImage's AppRun hands a command line that starts with -m to the bundled Python. Any other command line opens the window as before.
  • python -m installer --game FILE_OR_FOLDER replaces --base and --update.
    • A file is the base game.
    • In a folder, an XCI or XCZ is the base game. An NSP or NSZ is told apart by the title id in its name.
    • More than one file of a kind is a usage error that names them. --base and --update still take any file.
  • totk.exe --game DIR starts the game from an install folder at another place. Its exefs, romfs and profile folders become the paths, and --exefs, --romfs and --profile after it still win. A folder missing exefs/main.npdm or romfs/romfs.bin stops with one line saying which. totk.ini, logs, mods and caches stay with totk.exe's own folder.

Checks run

  • Seven unit tests for the progress lines and --game in tests/installer_test.py pass. The other tests in that file didn't run, because cryptography, numpy and lz4 aren't installed here.
  • tools/check_content.py --staged ran before each commit.
  • runtime/main.c passes a syntax-only compile with zig cc and a stub layout.h, without errors in the new code.

Not run

  • A full setup with game files, the Windows zip and AppImage builds, a launcher run against the file, and totk.exe itself (--selftest, the probes, --game at run time).
  • Please run the runtime/ rows of the CONTRIBUTING table before merging.

Things that would make your recomp better

  • NUP isn't accepted. The installer takes NSP, XCI, NSZ and XCZ, and the Recomp Standards table lists NUP for Switch games too. Players who have their game as a NUP would need to convert it first.
  • Passing --firmware and --dlss from a launcher would cover Chinese and Korean text and DLSS (small to medium).
  • Recomp Achievements: achievements, Beaten and Mastered, and leaderboards for your players: https://github.com/elripalda/RecompAchievements (medium).

For the developer

A free developer account at https://recompstore.com/hub (sign in with GitHub) lets you claim the recomp on RecompLauncher. Its page then shows it as yours, with the Verified developer badge once approved. You can edit the page and art, see stats and read player reports with their logs.

Note: recomplauncher.json uses the launcher's newer named inputs (base, update, prod.keys). They aren't in the published schema yet, so older launchers skip the file.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Silent installation now supports readable, line-based progress output.
    • Added RecompLauncher support for Windows and Linux, including game setup, launch, settings, and access to saves and logs.
    • Windows releases now include a ZIP package with the installer and launcher configuration.
  • Documentation
    • Added a RecompLauncher badge linking to the game page in the README.

An opt-in output mode for the setup install: `--silent ... --progress-lines` on
Windows and `install ... --progress-lines` on Linux print `progress <0-1> <text>`
lines on stdout, with diagnostics on stderr, and report the outcome in the exit
code. This is the line format RecompLauncher reads from a windowless setup step.

Without the flag, setup behaves exactly as before.
RecompLauncher can set this recomp up from the player's own disc image, show its
video and audio settings and start it, using the existing setup CLI.

- Launcher/recomplauncher/windows.json and linux.json describe the setup step
  (--silent / install with --progress-lines), the launch (--launch-base /
  launch-base), the Config.toml settings, saves and logs.
- Windows: the release also carries WiiCompiled-Setup-windows-x64.zip, with
  WiiCompiled-Setup.exe and recomplauncher.json at the top. The .exe asset is unchanged.
- Linux: build-appimage.sh puts recomplauncher.json at the AppImage root.

Walkthrough

The installer now supports line-based progress output on Linux and Windows. New RecompLauncher configurations define platform-specific setup, launch, and game settings. Packaging stages the configurations and includes the Windows setup ZIP in release assets.

Changes: RecompLauncher integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Line-based installer progress
Launcher/WiiCompiled.Setup.Common/InstallProgress.cs, Launcher/WiiCompiled.Setup.Linux/Program.cs, Launcher/WiiCompiled.Setup.Windows/CommandLine.cs, Launcher/WiiCompiled.Setup.Windows/ConsoleCommands.cs, Launcher/WiiCompiled.Setup.Windows/SelfTests.cs
The setup programs support --progress-lines alongside --progress-json. The new reporter writes formatted progress to stdout and diagnostics to stderr. Windows command validation and self-tests cover supported modes and mutually exclusive options.
Platform configurations and release packaging
Launcher/recomplauncher/*.json, Launcher/build-appimage.sh, .github/workflows/package.yml, README.md
The Linux and Windows configurations define supported games, setup and launch commands, settings, and save and log actions. Packaging stages the configurations and adds WiiCompiled-Setup-windows-x64.zip to release assets. The README adds a RecompLauncher badge.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 7 functions across 6 files. (4 skipped: 4 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.
