Game update script

This documents the script update_gi.sh. The other scripts have a short explanation in their file content.

Description

This script automates following steps:

Check for game updates
Download the game files
Revert any previously applied patches
Install or update the game files
Apply the newest patch

Requirements

This script requires following applications:

bash (update and patch script)
jq (JSON parsing)
Either aria2c, wget, curl or axel (file download)
xdelta3 (patch script)

Usage instructions

The current working directory (pwd) specifies the update or installation path.

Example + syntax:

cd "/path/to/game/directory/"
bash "/path/to/dawn/updater/update_gi.sh" [OPTIONS ...]

List of OPTIONS:

--help: Shows a short help text
install: Switches from the "update" to "installation" mode
- By default, an update will be performed in the current directory
nodelete: Keeps the downloaded archives after the installation or update.
predownload: Checks and downloads pre-download-game archives
- To perform the update afterwards, re-run the update script without the predownload option.

If errors occur after updating the game files, re-run the patch scripts manually.

New installation

Use the install command line option to install the newest game version to an empty directory.

Example:

# Create a new directory in HOME (~) for the installation
mkdir -p "$HOME/Genshin Impact Game"
cd "$HOME/Genshin Impact Game/"

bash "/path/to/dawn/updater/update_gi.sh" install

Game update

Updates the game in the working directory to the newest version.

Important: If the official launcher was used for the installation, ensure that the current working directory (pwd) contains GenshinImpact.exe but not launcher.exe.
