Build

If you want your own independent instance of synchronizer, you need to do these steps:

1. Clone this repo or download source code.
2. Enable Google Cloud Platform project with the API. To create a project and enable an API, refer to Create a project and enable the API guide.
3. Authorize credentials for a desktop application. To learn how to create credentials for a desktop application, refer to Create credentials.
4. Download OAuth 2.0 Client ID credentials from your Google Cloud application.
5. Rename credentials file to credentials.json and copy it to \src\main\resources folder.
6. Build project with executing ./gradlew build terminal command in the project folder.
7. Now you can use JAR from \build\libs folder with command line parameters: first parameter - path to save folder; second - "upload" or "download". But advise to make bat files that will ask user for administrator privileges download batfile examples from. For this you need to change last line of files SavesDownload.bat and SavesUpload.bat and type instead of Absolute path to the game saves folder your game folder path and instead of Synchronizer-1.0.jar name of your jar file.
