How do I make specific tasks download to specific folders?

I need each task in this file :https://github.com/Ishikudeska/NolvusForLinux/blob/main/NexusForLinux/src/backend/ModDownloader/Downloader.cs to download to a specific folder, which is specified in a string in this file:https://github.com/Ishikudeska/NolvusForLinux/blob/main/NexusForLinux/src/backend/FilePaths/FilePaths.cs

What, in this list of URLs, defines where it should be downloaded to?

ᛁᛊᚺᛁ•4mo ago

it doesn't, so should I put that there?

How else are you going to know what goes where? You should have something like

public class DownloadList
{
    public required string DownloadLocation { get; init; }
    public required string[] URLs { get; init; }
}

public class DownloadList
{
    public required string DownloadLocation { get; init; }
    public required string[] URLs { get; init; }
}

var downloads = new DownloadList[]{
    new() {
        DownloadLocation = "/SomeFolder/",
        URLs = [
            "https://bla.bla",
            "https://foo.bar",
            "https://bar.baz",
        ]
    },
    new() {
        DownloadLocation = "/AnotherLocation/Somewhere/",
        URLs = [
            "https://swish.swosh",
            "https://unga.bunga",
        ]
    },
};

var downloads = new DownloadList[]{
    new() {
        DownloadLocation = "/SomeFolder/",
        URLs = [
            "https://bla.bla",
            "https://foo.bar",
            "https://bar.baz",
        ]
    },
    new() {
        DownloadLocation = "/AnotherLocation/Somewhere/",
        URLs = [
            "https://swish.swosh",
            "https://unga.bunga",
        ]
    },
};

ok ok thanks Srry I'm a total noob when it comes to C#, this is only my third project. Is there a way to name each URL list? They also need to be settable to "un-used" as some of them (such as the "Redux/Ultra" ones might not be used. The Required ones can go in one big thing, but other than that they need to be slectable

Just add a name property to DownloadList

ᛁᛊᚺᛁ•4mo ago

ok so would it look something like:

var downloads =  DownloadList[]{
 
downloads.Add(new CoreSkse()){//implementation}
downloads.Add(new BugFixes()){//implementation}

or would the curly brackets go inside the parenthesis like: download.Add(new CoreSkse(){implementation});

Angius•4mo ago

What would implementation be?

ᛁᛊᚺᛁ•4mo ago

the list and downloadlocation

DownloadLocation = Core,
        URLs = [
            "meant for SKSE, need to do the file + edit",]},

DownloadLocation = Core,
        URLs = [
            "meant for SKSE, need to do the file + edit",]},

this stuff

Angius•4mo ago

In general though: 1. downloads is an array, arrays cannot be added to, they're fixed size. You would need a list 2. Unless CoreSkse and BugFixes inherit from DownloadList, no, you cannot do that You can use a list, yes

ᛁᛊᚺᛁ•4mo ago

ok, so I'd have to change it to a list?

Angius•4mo ago

And you can .AddRange() to add multiple elements to it How you get those from your CoreSkse and BugFixes classes... up to you Could be a property, could be a method

ᛁᛊᚺᛁ•4mo ago

They're just identifiers, for what settings are chosen in a UI

Angius•4mo ago

You can't write code that clearly instantiates a new class, and then just say "oh it's just an identifier" I assume the code you send is what it is

ᛁᛊᚺᛁ•4mo ago

yes
