GLIAL (Geode Linux Instantiating/Attaching Logger)

Pretty much just this ^

Tip

These scripts use log files for providing logs, so make sure to set your log level to DEBUG for files in Geode's settings for detailed logs!

Features

• Color support
• Scripts to open GD tied to the terminal process or attach to GD arbitrarily, without affecting the process itself (meaning you can terminate/reattach the log whenever you want)
• NO Wine/Proton shenanigans needed! If you can run GD via Steam - you can run GLIAL

Installation & Configuration

Requirements:

• Bash

Optional:

• "multi-command" VS Code extension

---

Clone the repo somewhere or download scripts from releases/directly.

Important

You need to edit some of the scripts before you can work with GLIAL. Open .functions.sh with your preferred text editor and replace the logs_dir directory with Geode's logs directory on your machine. Keep in mind, that for GLIAL to work all scripts must be in the same directory!

Usage

Run the start-integrated.sh script for starting GD attached to the terminal or run attach-log.sh to attach to an already running instance of GD. If no instances exist, attach-log.sh will quit instantly.

Visual Studio Code

You can integrate scripts into VS Code nicely by adding keybinds like these to your keybinds.json:

{
    "key": "numpad5",
    "command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence",
    "args": { "text": "'/mnt/sdb1/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Geometry Dash/.glial/start-integrated.sh'\u000D" }
},
{
    "key": "numpad8",
    "command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence",
    "args": { "text": "'/mnt/sdb1/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Geometry Dash/.glial/attach-log.sh'\u000D" }
}

Replace keybinds/paths accordingly. \u000D is Unicode for Enter, which automatically sends the command.

Using "multi-command"

With the help of the extension you can extend these keybinds to focus your terminal for better startup communication:

{
    "key": "numpad5",
    "command": "extension.multiCommand.execute",
    "args": {
        "sequence": [
            "workbench.action.terminal.focus",
            {
                "command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence",
                "args": {
                    "text": "'/mnt/sdb1/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Geometry Dash/.glial/start-integrated.sh'\u000D"
                }
            }
        ]
    }
},
{
    "key": "numpad8",
    "command": "extension.multiCommand.execute",
    "args": {
        "sequence": [
            "workbench.action.terminal.focus",
            {
                "command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence",
                "args": {
                    "text": "'/mnt/sdb1/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Geometry Dash/.glial/attach-log.sh'\u000D"
                }
            }
        ]
    }
}

Once again, replace script paths to match your installation directory.

Trivia

Glia, also called glial cells (gliocytes) or neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells in the central nervous system (the brain and the spinal cord) and in the peripheral nervous system that do not produce electrical impulses. Wikipedia
