The Paradox Launcher wasn't syncing my HOI 4 playsets automatically, and I noticed the import/export playset button. But it required me to export one at a time which was annoying.

The launcher stores these configs in an SQLite DB, so I wrote a small tool to

• Connect to the local SQLite DB
• Retrieve all the playSets
• Display all playSets, choose the ones to export or export all of them if none are selected
• Export valid configs to %APPDIR%/output/%PLAYSET_NAME%.json

These configs can them be imported via the Paradox Launcher.

The tool should auto-detect the launcher-v2.sqlite file based on your OS. But if it can't find the file it'll prompt you for it.

The launcher-v2.sqlite file can be found in the Paradox Interactive folder detailed here.

Right now this is hard-coded for HOI 4 since I don't really play other Paradox games. I might take a look at it in the future. Or you're welcome to create a PR.

I'll probably add another mode to this that dumps all the data necessary to just insert all the playsets directly into the other devices launcher-v2.sqlite. Instead of using the import function in the Launcher.

I took this opportunity to test out nx. 100% overkill for a tiny tool, but it was a smaller environment to get familiar with it.

• Make sure pnpm is installed globally by running npm i -g pnpm
• Run pnpm i
• Run nx run paradox-launcher-playset-manager:serve

Enjoy!
