eso-linux-launcher

Launcher for Elder Scrolls Online on Linux with a addon updater and a TTC price table updater.

Starts ESO through steam and closes the ESO launcher once ESO starts (this is reported to improve performance), keeps addons updated with https://www.esoui.com, keeps TTC price table up to date https://us.tamrieltradecentre.com/

By default this is setup to work with the steam version of ESO, check ell.sh for the comments up top if you want to use it without steam.

Usage

Make ell.sh executable chmod u+x ell.sh

Run ell.sh ./ell.sh

You can use the The Elder Scrolls Online.desktop file, edit it with a text editor, change Exec=/home/kevin/Documents/eso-linux-launcher/ell.sh to where you have ell.sh and put The Elder Scrolls Online.desktop on your desktop, you can then double click it to launch ell.sh.

Addons

The script will only check for addon updates if you haven't checked in the past 4 hours - to reduce load on the esoui servers.

Updating / adding Addons:

If you want it to update your addons, put the links to the addons in addons.txt, one per line. For example:

https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info1536-ActionDurationReminder.html
https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info57-HarvestMap.html

Then run ESO_ADDONS_PATH=/PATH/TO/ESO/AddOns UPDATE_ADDONS=1 ell.sh changing /PATH/TO/ESO/Addons, for example ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/306130/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/AddOns

Deleting Addons:

If you want to delete an addon, put the word del with a space in front of the line in addons.txt ; example:

del https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info1536-ActionDurationReminder.html ActionDurationReminder 3.3.6c ActionDurationReminder

Force updating Addons:

If you want to delete or add new addons and don't want to wait 4 hours, you can make the script check the addons.txt file again:

FORCE_UPDATE=1 ./addons.sh ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/306130/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/"My Documents/Elder Scrolls Online"/live/AddOns

TTC

The script will only update the TTC price table if you haven't updated it in 12 hours or more - to prevent downloading too often.

If you want it to keep the TTC price table up to date run ell.sh like so:

ESO_ADDONS_PATH=/PATH/TO/ESO/AddOns UPDATE_TTC=1 ell.sh

You can upate addons and TTC also:

ESO_ADDONS_PATH=/PATH/TO/ESO/AddOns UPDATE_TTC=1 UPDATE_ADDONS=1 ell.sh
