It has both a CLI and GUI tool, specifying no command line arguments opens the latter. + +## OPTIONS + +`--help` + Shows a brief message of all the options and what they do. + +`--version` + Various versions numbers for Node, Electron, Viper and so on. + +`--cli` + Forces the CLI to activate, meaning the GUI will never run. + What purpose this has I frankly do not know. + +`--update` + Updates Northstar, this uses your `viper.json` to determine the location, it also won't try to update if the installed version of Northstar is already the newest, if you must re-install Northstar you can delete the `ns_version.txt` file in the game path. + +`--launch`=<version> + Launches Northstar, this is currently only supported on Windows. + If you must launch Vanilla you can run `--launch=vanilla` + +`--setpath`=<absolute-path> + Sets the game path, this'll change the `gamepath` variable in your `viper.json`, note that it only takes in absolute paths and not relative ones. + +## CONFIGURATION + +All configuration takes place in your `viper.json` file, this file may be in various locations depending on your platform, for Linux you're likely to find it at: + + * `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/viper.json` + * `~/.config/viper.json` + +On Windows it's likely to be in `%APPDATA%\viper.json` + +All configuration is done by Viper itself, the locale is auto set when the GUI launches through your systems locale, the gamepath is selected with `--setpath` or in the GUI. + +## BUGS + +Report bugs on the GitHub issues page, and feel free to make a pull request if you also have the fix to the bug. + +## AUTHORS + +Main contributors/maintainers to the project: + + * 0neGal <mail@0negal.com> + * Rémy Raes <contact@remyraes.com> |
