Sidekick-Helper

This is a simple project whose goal is to make Sidekick for Path of Exile 2 work in Hyprland.

Usage

Alt+D will price check an item that is hovered. Alt+Space closes the Sidekick window. To avoid the terminal window, run the binary via a .desktop file or with & disown and you can exit the app with the tray icon.

Prerequisites

xdotool
dotnet-sdk 
aspnet-runtime
npm
nodejs

Setup

1. Sidekick's source must be pulled from their repo.

git pull https://github.com/Sidekick-Poe/Sidekick

2. Edit the .sln file and comment (#) or remove the two lines

#Project("{9A19103F-16F7-4668-BE54-9A1E7A4F7556}") = "Sidekick.Wpf", "src\Sidekick.Wpf\Sidekick.Wpf.csproj", "{0E8A5165-AFEE-42BB-9C96-EA288F613BDE}"
#EndProject

3. Make sure your terminal is open in the root directory of the solution i.e /home/dot/projects/Sidekick/
4. Run dotnet build
5. Clone this repo:

git pull https://github.com/dotaxis/rs-sidekick-helper

6. Build with tauri:

cd rs-sidekick-helper/src-tauri
cargo tauri build --no-bundle

7. The binary can then be moved from the target/release folder and placed in the root of Sidekick's source, or you can pass the path to that directory using SIDEKICK_DIR and run it from anywhere. For example:

SIDEKICK_DIR=/home/dot/projects/Sidekick/ ./sidekick-helper

Hyprland Window Rules

In order for this to mimic the overlay that Sidekick has on Windows, we need to set some window rules in Hyprland. Place these in your hyprland.conf:

windowrulev2 = float,initialClass:^(sidekick-helper)$
windowrulev2 = minsize 800 600,initialClass:^(sidekick-helper)$
windowrulev2 = noinitialfocus,initialClass:^(sidekick-helper)$
windowrulev2 = move onscreen cursor 10%,class:^(sidekick-helper)$
bind = ALT, D, exec, xdotool keydown alt key d keyup alt
bind = ALT, Space, exec, xdotool keydown alt key space keyup alt
