Struct ManifestEntry 

pub struct ManifestEntry { /* private fields */ }

Single file entry from a game manifest.

Represents one line in manifest.txt, describing a single game file.

Format Compatibility

Different Total War games use slightly different manifest formats:

• Older games: 2 columns (path, size)
• Newer games: 3 columns (path, size, base_game_flag)

The parser handles both formats automatically.

Implementations

impl ManifestEntry

pub fn relative_path(&self) -> &String

File path relative to the game’s /data directory.

Example: "local_en.pack" or "boot.pack"

pub fn size(&self) -> &u64

File size in bytes.

Can be used for file integrity validation.

pub fn belongs_to_base_game(&self) -> &Option<u8>

Base game vs DLC flag (newer games only).

• Some(1): File is part of base game (always present)
• Some(0): File is from DLC (may be missing)
• None: Game doesn’t use this field (older manifest format)

impl ManifestEntry

pub fn path_from_manifest_entry(&self, path: PathBuf) -> Option<PathBuf>

Validates and canonicalizes a path based on manifest entry metadata.

Determines if a file path should be used based on whether it’s from the base game or DLC, and whether the file actually exists on disk.

Arguments

• path - File path to validate

Returns

Returns Some(canonical_path) if the file should be used:

• Base game files (belongs_to_base_game == 1): Always returned
• DLC files (belongs_to_base_game == 0): Only if file exists on disk
• Unknown origin (belongs_to_base_game == None): Only if file exists

Returns None if the file is a missing DLC file.

Path Canonicalization

If the path is valid, it’s canonicalized to an absolute path before returning.

Trait Implementations

impl Default for ManifestEntry

fn default() -> ManifestEntry

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for ManifestEntry

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

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.
