MELE Mod Downloader (GO:LE)

This project aims to bridge the gap that exists in the Mass Effect Legendary Edition modding scene. This tool helps to download large modpacks and individual mods via the direct download function of Nexus Mods.

The ME3Tweaks Mod Manager can handle this, but it's not possible on Linux since it runs in WINE. This app bridges the auto-download feature to quickly download those mods.

This project is in its earliest stage. Nothing will work yet. When a stable version is ready, I will announce it and also create an automatic build for it.

Features

  • Download large modpacks and individual mods from Nexus Mods.
  • Compatible with Linux environments.
  • Supports direct download links for quick access to mods.

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/fenpaws/MELE-Mod-Downloader.git
cd MELE-Mod-Downloader

  2. Install dependencies:

    go mod tidy

  3. Build the application:

    go build -o mele-mod-downloader

  4. Run the application:

    ./mele-mod-downloader

Usage

  1. Ensure you have a valid Nexus Mods API key.
  2. Configure the application with your API key and desired download settings.
  3. Use the provided interface to select and download mods or modpacks.

Using GO:LE

GO:LE operates in two modes: consumer and run.

  • The consumer mode sends the Nexus Mods callback URI to GO:LE. For it to function correctly, you need a desktop entry. When you click the link in Nexus Mods, it should associate with this desktop file.

  • The run command listens to what the consumer sends and processes it accordingly.

Consumer

Create a gole-consume.desktop entry with the following content. Please adjust the Path and Exec specifications as needed:

This is a Development .desktop file

[Desktop Entry]
Name=GO:LE - Consumer
Path=~/GolandProjects/MELE-Mod-Downloader
Exec=go run cmd/main.go consume %u
Terminal=true
Type=Application
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/nxm;

Runner

This is a Development .desktop file

[Desktop Entry]
Name=GO:LE - Mass Effect:LE mod downloader
Path=~/GolandProjects/MELE-Mod-Downloader
Exec=go run main.go run %u
Terminal=true
Type=Application
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/nxm;
