Getting Error:hephaistos:[Errno] No such file or directory "modimporter" about hephaistos HOT 10 CLOSED

Another user with the same issue said the new build fixes the issue for them. To be honest I'm not sure why it fixes it, but whatever. Release is at v1.7.9.

from hephaistos.

So I was able to patch the game with both the native (linux) and python versions.

I did reimage my deck trying to run the new build, so I wonder if there was something I did that could have affected it as I disabled the read-only file system and installed quite a few packages from the repos and from the aur, or if you managed to fix it.

If you would like me to, I wouldn't mind trying the older versions and see if those are also functional.

Can you please run the following commands in Konsole from the Hades directory, and post the output here?

tree -F -L 1
tree -F -L 1 Content

from hephaistos.

From the first command:
./
├── Content/
├── hephaistos*
├── LICENSE
├── modimporter*
├── modimporter.py
├── README.md
├── sjson/
├── x64/
├── x64Vk/
└── x86/

From the second Command:
Content/
├── Audio/
├── Backup/
├── Game/
├── Maps/
├── modimporter*
├── modimporter.log.txt
├── Mods/
├── Movies/
├── Scripts/

└── Win/

Thanks. FWIW, modimporter is only useful in Content, so the modimporter, modimporter.py and sjson from the Hades directory should be completely ignored here, as they are misplaced and not used anyway.

I have tried something with a new build here: hephaistos-linux.zip

I don't think it'll fix the issue though. After getting the new build, can you please try the following:

• Run the following command in Konsole from the Hades directory: ./modimporter -vv
  • This will enable debug output. Try to patch the game as usual, except that this time you should get much more logs about the error. Please copy the full log output here.
• Do the same, but with a proper setup for the Python version. For this, you need to move modimporter.py and sjson from Hades to Content, remove the non-Python modimporter from Content, and then try again.
  • Also post the full log output here.

from hephaistos.

Here's the output of new hephaistos you linked after enabling debugging an trying to repatch:

Thanks. I'm actually puzzled as to why that would be happening, but I have a suspicion that the current working directory might not be changing properly on SteamOS for some reason. Here is a new test build where I remove this behaviour, if you can try it out: (removed, see below)

from hephaistos.

Meh. While this last build might actually solve the issue, it does not actually work because we do need to change the working directory for modimporter to properly pick up mods. I'll have to think about this some more.

from hephaistos.

OK here's another test build to try out using the same protocol as above (with -vv). It probably does not solve the issue still but it will have additional debug logging, which might help: hephaistos-linux.zip

from hephaistos.

You can just download the current release, it's still the same :)
