DELTARUNE Save Swap Tool for Linux

[!NOTE] this program is for steam deck! this will allow you to play with your demo saves on steam deck!! you can use this if you have a steam deck!!

this tool allows you to swap saves from the DELTARUNE demo into the full version. it currently only supports Steam

how to get it?

from cargo (recommended, if you have it)

run the following:

cargo install deltarune_save_swap

by running the program

download the latest release from the releases page. after downloading it (any directory will do. the program doesn't create or read any files where it's located), you need to mark it as executable.

noob instructions

on most desktops, you can right click on the program, and select properties. in there, you may find a tab or region labelled "permissions". in there, there should be a tick-box labelled something like, "allow executing the file as a program". ensure this box is ticked "yes", then close the properties dialogue. you should be able to double click the program now. if you were not able to find the option to allow it to be executed, or you could not run it, launch a terminal emulator (any one will do). you can do this by right clicking on the background (not the file) and selecting "open in terminal". if this did not work, open it as you would normally open a program, and change directory to where the file is located by writing cd and the directory that the file is located in (for instance, cd Downloads). if it is a particularly long path, some terminal emulators allow you to drag and drop the folder after writing cd . now that you are in the directory, run chmod +x deltarune_save_swap (or another name, if you changed the name of it. if you entered spaces, you will need to write the file name in quotation marks, like this: chmod +x "DELTARUNE Save Swap"). this command will allow the program to be executed (chmod = change mode, +x = add executable permission). now, you should be able to run ./deltarune_save_swap. if you get an error, you should open an issue for help.
