  • Launch all at the same time without redownloading the default launcher
• Portable
  • Can be moved to whatever location of your choice
  • Creates folders in the directory you put it in - so make a folder for it to reside in
• Multi-platform
  • Tested on Windows 10 and Linux (Ubuntu 18.04.4)
  • Likely works on MacOS (cannot test or compile)
• Supports downloads
  • No need for default launcher

Planned Features

• GUI
  • Basic functionality
  • With option to run in command line
  • Stylish look
  • Resolution Scaling
  • Download progress
  • Blog posts
  • Release notes
• Credential remembering
  • Usernames
  • Password (This would be a security issue even if handled correctly, so might not)
• Localization Support (Useless? Not sure if the game supports other languages but nice feature anyways)
  • English localization
• Game settings configuration

Known Issues

• Live version appears to get stuck after initial download. Unsure of cause as the actual game binary is what is getting stuck, not my launcher. Will investigate further. Workaround: just relaunch.
• Patching with TLOPO's patch files is non-functional (I'm unsure if this will break things in the future)
• Binary is somewhat large compared to code, bloated w/ unused python modules

Note for linux users

You'll have to download the following packages with your distro's package manager:

• libopenal
• libCg
• libCgGl
• libpng12

Make sure tlopo_test is also set to allow executing. You can run this command from the terminal to accomplish this:

• sudo chmod +x tlopo_test
