'scoop install rvgl' (portable RVGL via scoop/Windows Powershell)
Posted: Tue Sep 08, 2020 8:25 am
Hello,
It is not recommended to extract the 7z archive of RVGL to C:\Program files\RVGL\, but rather to another location where the user has usual access to.
I would like to point out that there is yet another alternative to "install" the portable Windows version of RVGL, i.e. via scoop from Windows Powershell. There is no need to manually download the 7z archive. Instead from Powershell you would need to do this (first line only needed if the games bucket of scoop is not yet available):
It's recommended to first install aria2 for a multi-threaded download (of any larger package), and for this, you first need to install git (as far as I remember correctly):
Then what I wrote above (sorry for the flipped order).
The "script" rvgl.json pulls the "nightly" Windows version from there, depending on the architecture:
https://distribute.re-volt.io/releases/ ... online.zip
https://distribute.re-volt.io/releases/ ... online.zip
RVGL is also on this scoop games bucket overview:
https://rasa.github.io/scoop-directory/ ... coop-games
All scoop apps (incl. games) are placed under C:\Users\<username>\scoop\
Consequently, multiple users sharing the same PC or laptop with their respective user names have to install their own scoop, apps, and RVGL.
Maybe this is an alternative for Windows users who do not need recognition by additional lobby apps. They have to stick to the split screen mode or have to enter the IP of the host manually, if they want to play online (LAN or WAN).
Huki, do you have concerns about this? I hope that you and others do not mind that a wrote this little "excursion".
