When installing for the first time, remember to download the Asset Pack v2 from the original author's page https://bambosh.dev/unofficial-homestuck-collection/#download and unpack it anywhere you like on your system.

Broken asset pack selector workaround

The asset pack selector menu looks still broken, if unofficial-homestuck-collection fails to start after a fresh install, try manually editing ~/.config/unofficial-homestuck-collection/config.json, setting localData.assetDir with the absolute path to your unpacked copy of the Asset Pack v2.

I had to install libxss which is not in the dependency list.

Both the -bin and non-bin versions of this package will pull in a precompiled libvps transitively through sharp. I don't believe the libvips dependency is actually ever used by the package.

The prebuilt libvips was built for processors with SSE4 support, which means that any processors without SSE4 support (as mine) will crash with Illegal instruction (core dumped). If this is happening, you can delete /opt/unofficial-homestuck-collection/resources/app.asar.unpacked/node_modules/sharp/vendor/8.14.5/linux-x64/lib/libvips-cpp.so.42 and the program will fall back to the system libvips, which will be already installed from the arch repos as a dependency of this package (at the time of writing), and which is not built to use SSE4 instructions. After deleting that file, the package is fully functional for me (including the asset pack selector, which now seems to be fixed).

As can be seen here, the upstream github has been moved to https://github.com/homestuck/unofficial-homestuck-collection.

crashes whenever i run.

[65776:0113/204926.813598:FATAL:gpu_data_manager_impl_private.cc(439)] GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye.
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

@yatagarasu try running with the --in-process-gpu flag as vann suggests. From what I've seen it's sometimes needed just for the setup process, you should be able to leave it out on subsequent runs.

In case that doesn't work and you have to edit the config manually, the schema has slightly changed. You can add the assetDir config key directly to the root of the json document, next to the __internal__ section, like this:

{
  "assetDir": "/home/.../Asset Pack V2",
  "__internal__": {
    "migrations": {
      "version": "2.5.2"
    }
  },
  // etc.
}

where do i add the localData.assetDir line? my config looks like this: __internal_: migrations: version: "2.5.6"

if you crash with "GPU Process Isn't Usable. Goodbye" or something similar just run the binary with "--in-process-gpu"

here's the image i used for the svg.

@piuvas makes sense, it's not just Homestuck after all. It's better to be consistent with upstream, switched to MSPA guy and added your SVG as a scalable icon. The small raster ones required AA and a bit of hand-nudging, but I think they are readable. Upstream version had a subtle gradient on the stroke color, but it would have honestly been too much effort to apply it to the SVG, and it would also be totally lost on the typical icon+screen size combination, so I used your version as a base for everything else (it was extremely close to the gradient's base color anyways).

here. i made an svg version that is very lightweight. :)

it's using the delta-icons palette but it's easy to change the colors.
