Use system Mono on Linux/Mac

Question

Use system Mono on Linux/Mac

Pathoschild commented 7 years ago

On Linux and Mac, the game uses a bundled version of Mono which is missing some .NET features (notably dynamic and libgdiplus). Consider using the system-installed version of Mono instead.

Pathoschild · Answer 1 · 2017-12-25T15:12:48.000Z

Proposal approach: once Mono is installed, deleting monoconfig, mscorlib.dll, Mono.*.dll, and System.*.dll in the game folder allows it to run fine on the system Mono. (Only tested on Linux.)

Pros:

Mods can use features not bundled into the game's Mono.
Possibly removes the need for the libgdiplus symlink (#277, #344, not tested).
Possibly resolves a Mono bug only known to affect Entoarox's mods (e.g. #340, not tested).

Cons:

More complex setup (players can no longer just drop some files into the game folder).
Players will have many different versions of Mono installed, complicating support. Could be partly mitigated with a min-Mono-version check in the installer.
Are there any Mono crossplatform issues between various Linux distros and Mac releases?
Largely untested.

Pathoschild · Answer 2 · 2017-12-27T06:24:56.000Z

@springacres tried running SMAPI mods on the system-installed Mono on Mac.

expand for details

Notably, she had the 'no Mod subclass' bug with Entoarox Framework (#340) when using the bundled Mono (see log).

Versions

Mac High Sierra 10.13.2, Mono 5.4.1.6 (see --version), SMAPI 2.3.

Experiment

We deleted the Mono-conflicting files (monoconfig, Mono.*.dll except Mono.Cecil.dll, mscorlib, and System.*.dll), ran mono StardewModdingAPI.exe with 27 mods, loaded a save, and left the farmhouse to trigger a map change.

Results

See full SMAPI log.

Most mods worked fine, but three couldn't be loaded due to assembly reference errors:

mod	assembly reference failed
Advanced Location Loader 1.3	Newtonsoft.Json, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed
Entoarox Framework 2.0.6	StardewModdingAPI, Version=2.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null
LookupAnything 1.17	MonoGame.Framework, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null

It's unclear why the assembly references failed. Installing SMAPI 2.1 didn't change the EF error, so it's not just a version mismatch. Although Lookup Anything failed, Automate + Chests Anywhere + Fast Animations which are compiled simultaneously from the same solution worked fine.

I repeated the above with the same mods, but in a ZorinOS Linux VM. This one worked fine (see log), so the assembly reference errors seem to be a Mac-only issue.

Pathoschild · Answer 3 · 2017-12-27T18:06:04.000Z

Json.NET and MonoGame (and SMAPI) are all loaded by SMAPI itself before mods are loaded. Assembly resolution is overridden to allow version mismatches and use already-loaded assemblies where possible. It's not clear yet why the assembly resolution is failing just for those three mods.

Entoarox · Answer 4 · 2017-12-27T15:27:00.000Z

are newtonsoft.json, smapi & mgframework files kept as relative references to smapi itself? 0_0 cause that shouldnt be happening 😕

Pathoschild · Answer 5 · 2018-01-19T03:49:26.000Z

Success! SMAPI 2.3 fixed the reference errors from the last test, so @LeonBlade retested. See log with bundled Mono and log with system Mono. All the mods worked fine except SpaceCore (expected due to #341).

SMAPI will most likely never require this by default, but we can document it for mods that need it. (So their install steps will be something like "install SMAPI, follow these instructions to jailbreak Mono, then install the mod".)

Tentative player instructions (~~Linux and~~ Mac only):

expand for outdated steps

Here's how to play the game using the system install of Mono. This is not necessary unless a mod explicitly requires it. You may need to repeat these steps when the game updates or you reset the game files.
Install Mono (unless you already installed it).

Open your game folder.

Delete these files:

monoconfig

Mono.*.dll (but not Mono.Cecil.dll)

mscorlib.dll

System.*.dll
Edit the StardewValley file and replace it with this code:
mono StardewModdingAPI.exe
That's it! Launch the game the same way as usual to play with the system Mono.

I'm following the steps of your latest post (Ubuntu 17.10). Previously, SMAPI opened a console window, which it doesn't any more after following these steps. Apart from that, the error Entoarox Framework had is gone.

@Katorone Can you replace your StardewValley file with this one, and see if the terminal opens? (You'll need to set chmod +x on the file.)

Katorone · Answer 9 · 2018-01-27T21:22:26.000Z

I had to convert the file to use linux linebreaks, after which your script worked like a charm by launching it through the desktop icon! Thanks!

Pathoschild · Answer 10 · 2018-01-27T21:28:13.000Z

These instructions are highly experimental and don't work for all players. If they don't work for you, you can reset your game files to return to normal. Please consider posting a comment below saying whether it worked for you, and attach your SMAPI log.

Thanks! Updated instructions (Linux and Mac only):

Here's how to play the game using the system install of Mono. This is not necessary unless a mod explicitly requires it. You may need to repeat these steps when the game updates or you reset the game files.

Install Mono (unless you already installed it).

Open your game folder.

Delete these files:

monoconfig

Mono.*.dll (but not Mono.Cecil.dll)

mscorlib.dll

System.*.dll

StardewValley (only the file with no extension)

Unzip StardewValley.zip into your game folder to replace the StardewValley file.

That's it! Launch the game the same way as usual to play with the system Mono.

This tested in Linux Mint 18.1 64 bit and system installed Mono version 5.8.0.108

Running manually via 'mono StardewModdingAPI.exe' works perfectly, but trying to run through Steam results in a crash. This with the previous version of Entorax Framework version 1.8.0 which does not require the workaround.

After updating Entorax Framework to version 2.0.6 and XNBLoader to version 1.1.10, running via manual command 'mono StardewModdingAPI.exe' also works as intended, permitting me to use the later versions of Entorax Framework and dependent mods as long as I run it manually instead of trying to run it through steam.

Running your modified StardewValley file manually via './StardewValley' also functions normally in both cases. So it appears to be Steam pitching some kind of security fit.

This is the error generated when attempting to run via Steam:

[SMAPI] The game failed unexpectedly: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'StardewValley.SaveGame' threw an exception. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: Unable to generate a temporary class (result=0).

Thanks for testing! Not sure what Steam is doing here, but I'll note it down.

Followed the steps on ArchLinux and I'm getting the above with or without steam

ShneekeyTheLost · Answer 15 · 2018-02-21T09:37:09.000Z

What version of Mono do you have installed? This method simply uses your system's Mono instead of the packaged version. If your version of Mono isn't up to date, it'll throw this error.

Does Arch do PPA's? I find them to be a very easy way to keep your Mono up to date. Go to the mono-project.com site and look for an Arch download of latest stable, your repos might not have updated yet.

notfood · Answer 16 · 2018-02-21T10:21:59.000Z

HellishINC · Answer 17 · 2018-02-21T19:52:46.000Z

@ShneekeyTheLost No, Arch doesn't do anything like PPAs. We have unofficial repos and the AUR (which must be compiled manually).

As for mono version, we have the same version and is working on my end.

@notfood when you say without steam, what exactly do you mean? Are you bypassing the steam integration somehow or using the GOG build? Can you provide what pacman -Qi mono states and also the error/crash log for SDV?

notfood · Answer 18 · 2018-02-23T00:02:53.000Z

I didn't try to bypass the integration, I assumed it has no DRM and ran it via command line.

Hi! I tried to follow these instructions to use the system mono because I was getting a SMAPI error for several of the mods I have installed that libgdiplus was not found, even though I had mono installed. That log is here: https://log.smapi.io/xekQesKD

I have Mono version 5.8.0.129 and High Sierra 10.13.3.

Afterwards I tried to launch the game through Steam, but it failed silently, without a terminal window opening.

When I launched it manually by running "mono StardewModdingAPI.exe", I got the following error in the console.

[SMAPI] SMAPI 2.5.3 with Stardew Valley 1.2.33 on Unix 17.4.0.0

This is no longer required, and I have no plans to investigate it further.
