options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -v, --version         show program's version number and exit
  -a APK, --apk APK     Path/URL to an APK file
  -o OBB, --obb OBB     Path/URL to an OBB file
  -i INI, --ini INI     Path/URL for Engine.ini
  -m MAP, --map MAP     What map to load in format "Label|Path/To/Map"
  -c COMMANDLINE, --commandline COMMANDLINE
                        Launch arguments for UE
  -so SO, --so SO       Inject a custom .so file
  -rn, --rename         Rename the package for parallel installs
  -p PATCH, --patch PATCH
                        Byte pattern to patch
  -rm, --remove         Uninstall all versions
  -l, --logs            Pull game logs from the headset
  -ls, --list           List available versions
  -op, --open           Launch the game once finished
  -sp, --strip          Strip permissions to skip pompts on first launch
  -sk, --skipdecompile  Reuse previously decompiled files
  -cc, --clearcache     Delete cached downloads
  -r, --restore         Restore to the latest version
```

#### Extra context:

- `uell [Date/version code/CL/1.0.CL]` This automatically downloads a version and uses the correct flags to install it, renaming if possible.

- `--clearcache` When providing a URL to the APK OBB or INI argument the script downloads and caches the file, to free up storage and delete cached downloads run the script with this argument.

- `--skipdecompile` When iterating on a single version you may wish to skip the decopilation step to save time by using the previously decompiled files, this also allows for manual modification of game files in the temp/decompiled folder.

- `--rename` This renames the package to allow for multiple versions to be installed at once.

   > If a renamed version is installed the `--log` argument pulls the logs of the last version to run.

- `--commandline` Various features can be unlocked through the use of commandline options, for example: `-c="-nullrhi"`

- `--ini` is unique because it can be ran on its own without rebuilding or reinstalling to almost instantly swap out an ini file

### Config:

The config.yml file located at `~/.a2-legacy-launcher/config.yml` has these settings by default:

```yml
autoupdate: true
manifest_url: (Manifest URL Here)
```

Specifying a manifest allows the program to automatically select the arguments to install a desired version. See the example.json for how to format your own manifest.
