  * Goldberg Emu notes are provided below

===== Goldberg Emulator =====

  * https://mr_goldberg.gitlab.io/goldberg_emulator/

==== Install ====

  * :!: This relies on [[https://gitlab.com/Mr_Goldberg/goldberg_emulator/-/jobs/4247811310/artifacts/download|this URL]] which looks fragile, but comes from the above download page

  rm -Rf '/tmp/Goldberg_Lan_Steam_Emu_master.zip' '/tmp/Goldberg_Lan_Steam_Emu' && wget -O '/tmp/Goldberg_Lan_Steam_Emu_master.zip' 'https://gitlab.com/Mr_Goldberg/goldberg_emulator/-/jobs/4247811310/artifacts/download' && unzip '/tmp/Goldberg_Lan_Steam_Emu_master.zip' -d '/tmp/Goldberg_Lan_Steam_Emu' && mkdir -p ~/'.steam/sdk64/steam_settings' && mv '/tmp/Goldberg_Lan_Steam_Emu/linux/x86_64/steamclient.so' ~/'.steam/sdk64' && ls ~/'.steam/sdk64/steamclient.so' && rm -Rf '/tmp/Goldberg_Lan_Steam_Emu_master.zip' '/tmp/Goldberg_Lan_Steam_Emu' && sync

==== Settings ====

  * [[https://gitlab.com/Mr_Goldberg/goldberg_emulator/-/blob/master/Readme_release.txt|Readme_release.txt]]
  * ''offline'', ''disable_overlay'', ''disable_networking'', ''force_account_name''

  touch ~/'.steam/sdk64/steam_settings/offline.txt' ~/'.steam/sdk64/steam_settings/disable_overlay.txt' ~/'.steam/sdk64/steam_settings/disable_networking.txt' && echo 'Espionage724' | tee ~/'.steam/sdk64/steam_settings/force_account_name.txt'

====== Dota 2 ======

===== Restore Backup =====

****

  mkdir -p ~/'Steam/steamapps' && mv ~/'Downloads/Dota 2/'* ~/'Steam/steamapps' && sync

===== Install/Update =====

  * :!: This and ''validate'' may need re-ran multiple times if game data is restored from backup ((''Error! App '570' state is 0xE after update job.''))
  * :?: Presumably this fresh-installs Dota 2 also

  cd ~/'Steam/steamcmd' && ~/'Steam/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh' +login 'Espionage724' +app_update '570' +quit && sync && cd ~

==== Check/Repair Data ====

****

  cd ~/'Steam/steamcmd' && ~/'Steam/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh' +login 'Espionage724' +app_update '570' validate +quit && sync && cd ~

==== Runtime ====

  * 2025/03/29: ''Steam Linux Runtime 3.0 (sniper)'' (''1628350'')
  * :?: TODO: Better way to check, update, and future-update (([[https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steam-runtime-tools/-/blob/main/docs/container-runtime.md|container-runtime.md]] implies ''medic'' is next; [[https://steamdb.info/search/?a=all&q=Steam+Linux+Runtime|SteamDB]]))

  cd ~/'Steam/steamcmd' && ~/'Steam/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh' +login 'Espionage724' +app_update '1628350' +quit && sync && cd ~

  ls --directory ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime'*

  cat ~/'Steam/steamapps/'*'.acf' | grep 'Runtime'

  cat ~/'Steam/steamapps/'*'.acf' | grep -e 'sniper' -e '1628350'

  gio open ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/'

==== Permissions ====

****

  chmod -v +x ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota.sh' ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/bin/linuxsteamrt64/dota2'

===== In-game Settings =====

  * This resets in-game Settings and starts Dota 2

  ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper/run' -- ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota.sh' -autoconfig -vulkan_disable_steam_shader_cache -novid -nodev -nojoy -console

==== Settings Save ====

  - Configure in-game Settings
  - Open Dota 2's in-game Console with the ''\'' key
  - Type ''host_writeconfig''

  host_writeconfig

  * :!: Errors with saving or finding a file path may require a Steam emulator if using an official ''steamclient.so''

===== Launch =====

  * Main Menu

  ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper/run' -- ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota.sh' -vulkan_disable_steam_shader_cache -novid -nodev -nojoy -console

==== Bot Match ====

  * Immediately launches into an Unfair All-pick Bot Match

  * :!: ''+sv_cheats 1'' allows controlling bots and [[https://dota2.fandom.com/wiki/Cheats|cheats]], but may cause click targeting to not work as-expected ((instead of clicking-off a selected enemy hero and automatically moving your hero, it'll keep the enemy hero selected and **not** move your hero))

  ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper/run' -- ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota.sh' -vulkan_disable_steam_shader_cache -novid -nodev -nojoy -console  +sv_lan '1' +dota_bot_practice_difficulty '4' +dota_start_ai_game '1' +map 'dota'

=== Test ===

****

  ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper/run' --devel --systemd-scope --import-vulkan-layers --remove-game-overlay -- ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota.sh' -vulkan_disable_steam_shader_cache -vulkan_disable_graphics_pipeline_library -novid -nodev -nojoy -console +sv_lan '1' +dota_bot_practice_difficulty '4' +dota_start_ai_game '1' +map 'dota'

====== Bots Scripts ======

  * Bot scripts are automatically loaded and used if present ((apparently relies on a ''Local Dev Script'' feature and the scripts being in a ''bots'' folder at ''dota\scripts\vscripts''))

  gio open ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota/scripts/vscripts'

===== Default Bots =====

  * Removing the ''vscripts/bots'' folder results in using default/built-in bot scripts

  rm -Rf ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota/scripts/vscripts/bots'

===== Open Hyper AI =====

  * https://github.com/forest0xia/dota2bot-OpenHyperAI/commits/main/

  rm -Rf ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota/scripts/vscripts/bots' ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota/scripts/vscripts/OpenHyperAI' && git clone --branch 'main' --depth '1' --recurse-submodules 'https://github.com/forest0xia/dota2bot-OpenHyperAI.git' ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota/scripts/vscripts/OpenHyperAI' && mv ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota/scripts/vscripts/OpenHyperAI/bots' ~/'Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota/scripts/vscripts' && sync

====== Desktop Launcher ======

  * TODO: Update scripts

  mkdir -p ~/'.local/share/applications/Valve' && nano ~/'.local/share/applications/Valve/Dota 2 - Bots.desktop' && sed -i 's/'CHANGEME'/'$USER'/g' ~/'.local/share/applications/Valve/Dota 2 - Bots.desktop' && update-desktop-database --quiet ~/'.local/share/applications'
