Steam Script

[Reuquen Lanier]

Ifit helps I used to upload to TestFlight using an external server. You can setup cloud build to notify you when a build is complete. I used that to call a script on my server that then used the cloud build API to get a list of the latest cloud builds, download the uncompress build using the data provided and upload it to TestFlight. Maybe you could do something similar for Steam?

I also highly recommend people experimenting with build scripts to upload a completely empty unity project with no dependencies and put their post-build script in the pre-build script location to test your script until you know it roughly works.

I have had Steam for a while now and have figured out a lot of tricks and shortcuts for the program. There is still one thing I want to do, but can't figure out: I want to run a Steam app with a batch script to circumvent the Steam GUI. The app in question is GameMaker: Studio. If I try to run the app through the executable directly, I get the follwing error:

As Jeff Mercado mentions above Steam browser protocol is a possible solution. It's also possible to use it from a webpage or other apps that can open a page in your system's default browser, so it can be great with the command line combined with explorer "URL" for example.

One of the problems with this is if you set it to automatically open Steam links by default. The links can do things ranging from installing/launching a game to deleting it, along with a lot more that's not documented either officially in the Steam Command Line Options or unofficially from data extracted from the Linux version of Steam.

Another option is to use the Steam Command Line Options, as linked to above. It allows you to use more of the commands/etc, and you can do so far easier, so it's actually kind-of more powerful than the browser protocol but is not as cross-platform friendly. Of course if you're making a BATch script that doesn't really apply to your situation though ;)

If you are using the latest version on Steam, download the AE build. The older build supporting 1.5.97 is still around to support people who have downgraded their installation or otherwise prevented updates.

SKSE will support the latest version of Skyrim available on Steam, and only this version (currently 1.9.32 with any other numbers following). It is extremely unlikely that any future non-SE Skyrim updates will be released.

Having crashes on startup after a game patch? Remove the files from Data/SKSE/Plugins and try again. Mods using plugins probably need to be updated.

Before contacting us, make sure that your game launches properly without SKSE first. Also, attach skse.log, skse_loader.log, and skse_steam_loader.log (found in My Documents/My Games/Skyrim/SKSE/) to any support requests.

The Steam Console Client or SteamCMD is a command-line version of the Steam Client. Its primary use is to install and update various dedicated servers available on Steam using a command-line interface.

To install SteamCMD add the non-free repository and x86 packages must be enabled. In Debian 12 (Bookworm) the apt-add-repository command no longer works, so you will need to create a work-around (See also: -add-repository-doesnt-work-on-debian-12).

If Steam Guard is activated on the user account, check your e-mail for a Steam Guard access code and enter it. This is only required the first time you log in (as well as when you delete the files where SteamCMD stores the login information).

It is possible to choose the platform for which SteamCMD should download files, even if it isn't the platform it is currently running on. This is done using the @sSteamCmdForcePlatformType variable. (Yes, those are two "s"es at the beginning of the variable name.) For example, to download the Windows CSGO dedicated server on Linux, you can run the following command:

If you get the "No subscription" error, the game/server you are trying to download either requires a login or that you have purchased the game. You will therefore have to log in with a Steam username and password. If that doesn't help, you may need to purchase a copy of the game on Steam first. See Dedicated Servers List.

On Windows servers, you may experience "SteamUpdater: Error: Download failed: http error 0" and "SteamUpdater: Error: Steam needs to be online to update. Please confirm your network connection and try again.". This is usually fixed by checking "Automatically detect settings" in IE (Internet Explorer) through the lan settings in the Internet option menu.

Some users may get a ulimit error (no permission/cannot open file) while script is starting up. This error caused by a low setting of the -n parameter (number of file descriptors) of ulimit. SteamCMD uses standard commands inside of the initialization shell script to change the ulimit automatically, but some servers may forbid increasing ulimit values after startup (or beyond a limit set by root).

When trying to download a GoldSrc mod like TFC, initially it only downloads the engine files of the HLDS, but not the mod. This is caused by appmanifest files not downloading correctly. This happens with both the regular version and the beta. You may have to try multiple times until all the required files are downloaded, but once this is done, the files should update correctly next time.

Just deleting the appmanifest files, without downloading replacements from a third party, may work as well! You will get an error at first though, complaining that something went wrong, which is due to the deleted files.

You should totally have this one match the other one with the icons in the front of the link/title (and use the same icons) just for consistency. It also makes more sense to have it in the front because the length of the titles can get fairly long - having them all in one uniform row is much easier to read.

My only other suggestion (for both) would be to have a per-user file where you can omit certain games (aka I'm never going to want Absconding Zatwor, having a like gray minus sign or something for not interested would help a lot. That being said, this seems quite different from what you're currently doing, not sure how feasible it is.

I made the other script as generic as possible, but I could make an option to have it more compatibility with this script / steamgifts. A game blacklist functionality should be possible. Glad you like the scripts.

I prefer to also check images. Sometimes image link is the only one available.

I could make a case distinction for it though and maybe add a green or red border to the image or something.

I am planning on updating this anyway. I want to remember the data from dynamic store user data, for when it's not available.

Finally changed it. It now caches the data and uses the cached data if it can't retrieve any fresh data :)

Version 1.3

Implemented caching of data and added support for dynamically generated content.

Yeah :P

Also, a problem is content that is dynamically loaded (e.g. html that is added after page has been loaded by javascript). My script only checks for steam links once the page is fully loaded. I might be able to build in a listener for it, though. Anyway I am glad you enjoy it! It's been helpful to me as well. :)

I don't think that would be possible. I'd have to evaluate the content for every page you visit and check for potential steam titles and then I wouldn't able to check if owned for every app, as api.steampowered.com/ISteamApps/GetAppList/v2 doesn't list all apps.

Since "Luckz" also asked for similar and not got answered, I examined your code a bit with my basic programming knowledge to how to implement Not Interested like others since it is in userdata and come up with these additions for a local copy: (dots are skipped codes to not clutter modified lines).

So I wrote this here if you are interested adding it for v1.4.6 and didn't pastebin since code is yours. If you do not like these to be posted here either, drop a comment so I'll edit (delete) from here.

Times like these I wish all my userscripts were on GitHub, which can handle these type of stuff better. Anyway, good job on adding functionality to the code! However, I already discussed this with Luckz, uses of IgnoredApps can vary. For example, you took for granted that ignored apps can not be also wishlisted, but actually they can. Same goes for owned and unowned apps. Ignored apps is kinda its own separate thing, whereas a game can either be owned, unowned, or wishlisted (and unowned). So, then we have to add a second icon for ignored apps. Finally I think there should be an option to not consider ignored apps at all, like it was before. Anyway, if you considered these things, I'd be glad to use your code and thanks for the interests!

Thanks for pointing those out. Well it was a continuation of your code which I skipped to think of precedence or mutual existence. And GitHub really would be great for you at least for collecting and having a page of your own for your codes.

But considering what they meant, using "Ignored" in combination with 'Wishlist' is pointless since I use that temporarily to remind myself, 'I should unwish that game later'. Also extending that logic, Ignored + Owned can mean 'remove this game from library later'. But those combinations are not normally used by most since unless there is a special meaning, it would be useless to mark a game that is either owned or wishlisted by "Not Interested" too. Even if there would be something else I couldn't foresee than precedence can take over like Own > Ignored > Wishlist considering script helps us about buying a game or not.
