SYNOPSIS
lgogdownloader [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
An open-source GOG.com downloader for Linux users which uses the same API as GOG Galaxy.
LGOGDownloader can download purchased games, query GOG.com to see if game files have
changed, as well as downloading extras such as artwork and manuals. It is capable of
downloading language-specific installers for games where they exist.

--delete-orphans
Delete orphaned files during --check-orphans and --galaxy-install
--status
Show status of files
Output format:
statuscode gamename filename filesize filehash

Using --platform with --list doesn't
work with this option.

BLACKLIST
Allows user to specify individual files that should not be downloaded or mentioned as
orphans.
Each line in the file specifies one blacklist expression, except for empty lines and lines
starting with #. First few characters specify blacklist item type and flags. So far,
only regular expression (perl variant) are supported, so each line must start with "Rp"
characters. After a space comes the expression itself. Expressions are matched against
file path relative to what was specified as --directory.
Example black list
# used to store manually downloaded mods/patches/maps/, don't mention it as orphans
Rp ^[^/]*/manual/.*
# included with every *divinity game, once is enough
Rp beyond_divinity/extras/bd_ladymageknight.zip
Rp divinity_2_developers_cut/extras/divinity_2_ladymageknight.zip
# extra 6GB is A LOT of space if you don't actually plan to mod your game
Rp the_witcher_2/extras/the_witcher_2_redkit.zip
Rp the_witcher_2/extras/extras_pack_3_hu_pl_ru_tr_zh_.zip
Rp the_witcher_2/extras/extras_pack_2_fr_it_jp_.zip
PRIORITIES
Separating values with "," when using language and platform switches enables a priority-
based mode: only the first matching one will be downloaded.
For example, setting language to fr+en means both French and English will be downloaded
(if available) for all games. Setting language to fr,en means that the French version (and
only that one) will be downloaded if available, and if not, the English version will be
downloaded.
You're allowed to "stack" codes in the priority string if needed. If you set language to
es+fr,en it means it'll download both Spanish (es) and French (fr) versions if they are
available, and the English (en) one only if none of French and Spanish are available.

FILES
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/lgogdownloader/
Storage for configuration files and cookies
If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set, it will use $HOME/.config/lgogdownloader/.
$XDG_CACHE_HOME/lgogdownloader/xml/
Storage for XML files
If $XDG_CACHE_HOME is not set, it will use $HOME/.cache/lgogdownloader/xml/.
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/lgogdownloader/blacklist.txt
Allows user to specify individual files that should not be downloaded.
It doesn't have to exist, but if it does exist, it must be readable to
lgogdownloader.
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/lgogdownloader/ignorelist.txt
Allows user to specify individual files that should not be mentioned as orphans.
The file has the same format and interpretation as a blacklist.
It doesn't have to exist, but if it does exist, it must be readable to
lgogdownloader.
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/lgogdownloader/game_has_dlc.txt
Allows user to specify which games have dlc and should have their DLC count
information ignored. The file has the same format and interpretation as a
blacklist.
It doesn't have to exist, but if it does exist, it must be readable to
lgogdownloader.
If the file exists lgogdownloader uses it instead of list specified with --dlc-list
option
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/lgogdownloader/gamespecific/gamename.conf
JSON formatted file. Sets game specific settings for gamename.
Allowed settings are language, platform, include, ignore-dlc-count, subdirectories,
directory, subdir-game, subdir-installers, subdir-extras, subdir-patches, subdir-
language-packs and subdir-dlc.
Must be in the following format:
{
"language" : <string>,
"platform" : <string>,
"include" : <string>,
"ignore-dlc-count" : <bool>,
"subdirectories" : <bool>,
"directory" : <string>,
"subdir-game" : <string>,
"subdir-installers" : <string>,
"subdir-extras" : <string>,
"subdir-patches" : <string>,
"subdir-language-packs" : <string>,
"subdir-dlc" : <string>
}
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/lgogdownloader/transformations.json
JSON formatted file. Used to transform gamenames.
Must be in the following format:
{
<string> :
{
"regex" : <string>,
"replacement" : <string>,
"exceptions" : [
<string>,
<string>,
],
},
<string> :
{
"regex" : <string>,
"replacement" : <string>,
},
}
Member names are used to match the gamename (regex). Member names must be unique.
For example if the file contains 2 rules with "^x" then only the last one is
applied. However if user really wants multiple different rules for everything
starting with "x" then adding wild wildcard matches makes them unique ("^x",
"^x.*", "^x.*.*")
If it matches then regex is used for the actual replacement using the value in
replacement.
"exceptions" is an optional array of gamenames excluded from the rule. These are
matched exactly, no regex.
Example:
match all games beginning with "b" and if they end with "_the" then remove "_the"
at the end and prefix it with "the_" with exception of "blackwell_epiphany_the"
{
"^b" :
{
"regex" : "(.*)_the$",
"replacement" : "the_\\1",
"exceptions" : [
"blackwell_epiphany_the",
],
},
}
