The script copies the first PC game it can find, then clears all of the fields out and uses this as a template.
The problem with this
- assumes you have an existing PC Games library (you might not)
- assumes you have at least 1 game in the library to copy/clone (you might have the library created without any games added to it)
- if you have more than 1 game the above command will return an array, preventing the command from working
I think the better way to go is NOT to clone the first game because actually having a game becomes a requirement (not a huge deal tho). Using powershell to create the tree structure from scratch removes this pre-requisite, but I do not know how to do it. Anyone using this script will have to have 1 single game manually added to the PC Games section in order for the script to work as shown.
when I figure this out I will update the script.
powershell:$NewNode = $xml.advanced_launcher.launchers.launcher.CloneNode($true)

powershell:if(more than 1 game){
#select the first game in the array
$NewNode = $xml.advanced_launcher.launchers.launcher[0].CloneNode($true)
}else{
