Flashpoint Component Tools

Tools for installing and managing a copy of Flashpoint Archive through its component system.

• FlashpointInstaller.exe installs Flashpoint into a new folder, with the components you pick, and creates shortcuts.
• FlashpointManager.exe adds, removes, updates and repairs components of an existing copy, or uninstalls it. The Flashpoint Launcher opens it.
• fpm.exe does the same from the command line (fpm help). The launcher reads fpm list verbose at startup.

Windows 10 or later, 64-bit. The manager and fpm.exe ship together in the core-manager component.

Build

Go 1.27.3 or later.

scripts/build.sh            # dist/windows-amd64/: the three exes and core-manager.zip
go test ./...

The GUI uses Gio and builds for Windows without cgo; on macOS and Linux it needs cgo (development only).
