Wemod on Heroic

[mzigaib]

I could make it work on steam but how can I make it work on Heroic, I tried to just add the line on the "arguments" slot but nothing happened, is it possible to make it work there?

i was using it in lutris a lot,
there it works, so it probably works on heroic two.
Here is what i need you to do:

1. Delete the wemod.log file if it exists.
2. Close heroic fully.
3. Open the terminal.
4. Type heroic or the full path to the heroic launcher (for example the appimage filepath would work).
5. If you are using heroic over flatpak you probaly have less sucess sine flatpak is not fully supported.
6. But if you want to try it you will ned to run flatpak run com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl.
7. Then start the game you want with wemod.
8. Copy the terminal output into here after you have closed the game or the after the game has crashed with wemod.
9. Also upload the wemod.log if it exists now.

Oh you will also need to, follow https://github.com/DaniAsh551/wemod-launcher/wiki/Full-guide#step-35-set-settings-of-steam-flatpak-if-in-use if you use flatpak, the steam stuff will need to be relaced by heroic paths of course

[mzigaib]

Thanks for the feedback!
I will try that and let you know if it worked.

If possible use the appimage or the store package for heroic,
like I mentioned flatpak support is really not that good,
The reason why its not that good, is that I don't really known how flatpak works.
So its not going to change unless a new maintainer comes to the project.

Here is a wiki entry for Using External Launchers,
but to make it short any launcher
that supports custom startup commands
can be used with the wemod-launcher.
To make any launcher other then steam work,
all that you will need is modification to the startup command,
in the same way that the steam command is modified.
Of course as i mentioned its also important that the external launcher
is not in a sandbox like for flatpak or in a snap (snaps don't work at all, pretty sure).
Other then that i think this issue can be closed.
If you still have questions about this just ask.

I was just hoping that someone could help me in pointing where I could do this specifically on heroic, I already tried the commands slot but no success

[marvin1099]

Not shure how heroic works, but you can do it with lutris as well, I will see how heroic works, since you sind say anything I thought that you figured it out.

[mzigaib]

Not yet, but thanks for the help

[marvin1099]

So i see, heroic wont support a command prefix, like lutris is doing.
To set up wemod over heroic you will need to manually install wemod.
To do that follow this new guide i have added, it should make it work.
But i can also recommend Lutris, if you like to try that.
Keep on mind as before you will still need the appimage version for heroic
or one from you distro repos, so not the flatpac version.

[mzigaib]

Oh Ok, I will take a look and I will tell if I can make this work.
And I can´t thank you enough for the trouble doing the guide man, I really appreciate it.

[mzigaib]

I could make it work on Lutris which is great, I can work with that yay!
There are some games the need to be run inside the epic launcher like red dead redemption 2, so in this case is it possible to make wemod to work in this situation?

[marvin1099]

As I have mentioned follow the new heroic guide, that is the explaination for making heroic work.

[mzigaib]

Ok I will try that, thanks!

[marvin1099]

I will close this for now, if any problems appear, don't hesitate to ask
