How to properly apply 'BepInEx HarmonyIntegration Patch' on Linux?

[ImperialForce9]

I've followed the instructions and placed the contents of the zip file in the 'Idol Manager' file.
But the the plugin tells me it's not installed/working.

Only thing step I believe I may be stuck at is giving the 'run_bepinex.sh' file executable permission. I open the 'Idol Manger' file in terminal but I most likely am not properly applying the 'chmod u+x run_bepinex.sh' command properly.

I made the plugin but unfortunately, I don't have Linux to test it on.

You can try first to just install bepinex from their official website with their official instructions. See how that goes.

Ah, I thought of something. Open run_bepinex.sh and fill in the executable_name field near the top of the file. Let me know how it goes.

So if I'm doing it right, I after extracting the file, I then move all the files in the IM-HM folder to the 'Idol Manager' folder?

And you are asking me to fill in the "exectuable_name" field with '.exe' that runs Idol Manager? (filling it in with "IM.exe")

[Tel]

Yeah try IM.exe

No difference sadly, crashes on startup as usual.

Do I need to download BepInEx for IM-HM to work or am I doing something else wrong?

bepinex is included already in the zip file of im-hm.

Try running run_bepinex.sh from the terminal so that you can see errors

Replaced account names with 'user'
'deiban-installation' is just the how the file is for Linux at least for me.

it says permission denied, which seems to suggest the chmod command didn't work

So that does seem to be my main issue.

I open 'Idol Manager' in terminal and try to run the command that should give it "Executable Permissions" but it doesn't seem to work.
Instead, a neat thing I can do on Linux is right click on .sh/.exe files and simply click an "on/off" button that gives it "Executable as Program"

As I do give the 'run_bepinex.sh' executable as program and try running the game, it still crashes and outputs this:

The problem is here I think
steam-launch-wrapper: Unrecognised option /home/'user'/.steam/debian-installation/ubuntu12_32/steam-launch-wrapper

It may be the launch option in steam is incorrect. It should be:
./run_bepinex.sh %command%

[ImperialForce9]

What I've typed into Launch options: ./run_bepinex.sh %command%

Still crashes on startup

Welcome to Linux gaming. Each game either works, or is a research project. I spent way too many hours trying to figure this out. I managed to get the windows version of the IM-HarmonyIntegration working through Proton. Wanted to write this down before I forget it.

The instructions from the BepInEx docs helped, but they were dated slightly. Also settings/data from the native install didn't appear to sync/work with the proton version.

Hope these instructions help/work for you.

Prerequisites:

• Protontricks (flatpack)
  
• Flatseal
  
• Wine
  
• Winetricks

Steps:

1. Install prerequisites (including the game!)
   
2. Open properties for the game
   
3. Open the Compatibility tab.
   
4. Check "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool."
   
5. Select the latest proton version. - I selected Proton 9.0-4, but your mileage may vary.
   
6. let the game update and the libraries download.
   
7. Install the windows version of the IM-HarmonyIntegration to your game directory
   
8. Open Flatseal and select Protontricks
   
9. Under Filesystem>Other files, add the directory for your steam apps ex: /home/[user]/Drives/Steam/Games/steamapps
   
10. Open proton tricks, and select your steam installation
    
11. Select Idol Manager from the list.
    
12. Select "Select default wineprefix" and push ok
    
13. Select "Run winecfg" and push ok.
    
14. In winecfg select the "Libraries" tab.
    
15. Under "New override for library" select "winhttp"
    
16. Click the add button.
    
17. Click Apply
    
18. $$$

Thank you for the fix! Knew there had to be a native method, but editing the script was a little intimidating.

I'm probably still doing something wrong

I look back into the 'run_bepinex.sh' file for potential issues, at the
'executable_name="IdolManager.x86_64"' line its asking for the executable.

But I see no executable named 'IdolManger.x86_64' the closest thing I presume to be an executable for the game is 'IM.exe' so what else am I missing? changing the above line to 'executable_name="IM.exe"' has not noticeable effect
