# btupdater
A small bash script for updating [Northstar](https://github.com/R2Northstar/Northstar)
## How to Use
### Installation
```
make PREFIX="$HOME/.local" install
```
### First Launch
On first launch, `btupdater` will ask for the absolute path to your Titanfall 2 installation (usually under `~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Titanfall2` if installed through steam).
Afterwards, `btupdater` is able to install any new Northstar release and extract it to your game directory whenever a new one is published on github.
## Differences from other Launchers
Most other launchers for Northstar don't support Linux ([yet](https://github.com/0neGal/viper/issues/38)), so this was just a quick script I made to make a simple one for Linux.
...and see [Warnings](#warnings)
## Troubleshooting
### `No such file or directory` error
- If you're getting this error, your game directly is most likely
## Warnings
### `btupdater` **will extract to anywhere it's told**
- There is currently no verification in place for the game directory path to make sure it is for Titanfall 2, so be careful
### `btupdater` **does not actually enable Northstar**
- Northstar is only extracted to the game directory. You will need to move `Titanfall2.exe` to `Titanfall2old.exe` and symlink `NorthstarLauncher.exe` to `Titanfall2.exe`
- See [Playing on Linux](https://r2northstar.gitbook.io/r2northstar-wiki/using-northstar/playing-on-linux) on the Northstar Wiki
