Essentially, the server is responsible for downloading and parsing the Ludusavi manifest. It will then send the specific part of the manifest that the client requires.

We're gonna use a script-based system to do cloud saves instead. Admins can write scripts in Rhai/Lua/JS that find and select files to backup, and then restore them later. Ludusavi will just be an example script/easy-of-use abstraction over the script system (basically we'll just use a default script of something like ludusaviBackup(...)).

how will it work syncing between windows and linux? the windows system is different and might ludusavi needs to set redirects for that to work

isnt a system more like how syncthing works would be a better implementation then using ludusavi?

Ludusavi uses templated strings, like "%GAMEFOLDER%/saves/", so it works cross platform okay. For games that don't work with that system, admins will have to write a custom script, and we'll likely have a community repo of scripts.

by using ludusavi its more like using its manifest? or the bin its self?

if its using the bin look at redirects
