umu(5)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay bestie, welcome to umu(5) — the File Formats Manual page for umu-run and its configuration file. The short version? umu-run - configuration file. That's the name energy: config file, all explained below, no cap. 💖

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

umu-run can optionally read a configuration file instead of reading environment variables set from the command line. Slay — this is the config-file route. The configuration file for umu-run must be written in Tom's Obvious Minimal Language (TOML)[1]. 🦋

In the configuration file, the table umu is required as well as the keys prefix, proton and exe which all must be basic strings. It's giving "required keys, don't skip." Example:

[umu]
prefix = "~/WINE/epic-games-store"
exe = "~/EpicGamesLauncher.exe"
proton = "~/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton30"

Afterwards, run the command:

$ umu-run --config config.toml

💅 [umu] SECTION 💅

This is the main character section, periodt. Every key below lives in the [umu] table:

• exe — Path to the game executable to run. Value must be a basic string. 🎮
• proton — Path to a Proton directory. Value must be a basic string. ⭐
• prefix — Path to a WINE prefix directory. Value must be a basic string. 🍷
• game_id — The umu id to assign to the game. Depending on the value assigned, a proton fix will be applied to the prefix if available. Please refer to the umu database[2] for an extended list of game ids. 🆔
• store — The distribution platform of the executable. Value must be a basic string. Expects the values: egs, gog, battlenet, amazon, humble, itchio, and ubisoft. 🛍️
• launch_args — Launch arguments for the executable. Value must be a basic string or an array of basic strings. When using a string, assumes each argument is space-separated. 🚀
