Struct Manifest 

pub struct Manifest(pub Vec<ManifestEntry>);

Complete parsed manifest file from a game’s data directory.

Contains all entries from manifest.txt, representing the full list of official game files.

Structure

This is a wrapper around a vector of ManifestEntry items, one per line in the manifest file.

Tuple Fields

0: Vec<ManifestEntry>

Implementations

impl Manifest

Implementation of Manifest.

pub fn read_from_game_path(game: &GameInfo, game_path: &Path) -> Result<Self>

Reads and parses the manifest file for a specific game installation.

This is a convenience wrapper that constructs the manifest path from game information and reads it.

Arguments

• game - Game configuration containing path information
• game_path - Root directory of the game installation

Returns

Returns the parsed Manifest containing all file entries.

Errors

Returns an error if:

• The game’s data path cannot be determined
• The manifest file doesn’t exist
• The manifest file is malformed or cannot be parsed

Example

let game_path = Path::new("/path/to/game");
let manifest = Manifest::read_from_game_path(game, game_path)?;

pub fn read(manifest_path: &Path) -> Result<Self>

Reads and parses a manifest file from a specific path.

Parses a manifest.txt file in tab-delimited format. Handles both 2-column (older games) and 3-column (newer games) formats automatically.

Arguments

• manifest_path - Path to the manifest.txt file

Returns

Returns the parsed Manifest containing all file entries.

Errors

Returns an error if:

• The file cannot be opened or read
• The format is invalid (wrong number of columns)
• Field values cannot be parsed (e.g., non-numeric size)

Format Details

Expected format (tab-delimited):

path/to/file.pack<TAB>1234567
path/to/other.pack<TAB>9876543<TAB>1

pub fn is_path_in_manifest(&self, path: &Path) -> bool

Checks if a file path is listed in the manifest.

Performs case-insensitive comparison and handles path separator differences (backslash vs forward slash).

Arguments

• path - Path to check (can be absolute or relative)

Returns

Returns true if the path ends with any relative path in the manifest.

Example

let is_vanilla = manifest.is_path_in_manifest(
    Path::new("C:/Games/Warhammer3/data/local_en.pack")
);

Trait Implementations

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for Manifest

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.
