Help integrating the Steam API

[crimsonnight]

So when you say extract the steam sdk to your game do you need to literally copy everything in the sdk zip? And then make a steam_appid.txt? I am very new to publishing games on steam.

It's the other way around, you extract your game to: sdk\tools\ContentBuilder\content also adding steam_appid.txt containing your app ID.

So you dont need the steam_appis.txt if you aren't adding achievements?

In the ren'py folder? I have it there just in case, but achievements aren't working for me!

And i'm guessing to include achievements you would put this in your script:

Code: Select all

$ achievement.grant(game_clear)

And in your steam works I am not sure what to do.
Sorry for all the questions, I just want to get this down.

This is very confusing huh. I have got my game to install properly, but looking into achievements i can't put my finger on it. Would we put game_clear somewhere in the steamworks?

That's what I believed to be the case, but isn't working for me - I'm hoping Tom will reply here with more information: http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... 9&p=369274

Samer here, he redirected me here and it helped me get my game up. But now im working on achievements for my game and others.

Do you really need the achievement.register? Cant you just grant it, unless you have a progress one.

Was just trying things to make sure I covered all bases!

You only need achievement.register for progress, or if you want to use a different steam name. (And progress only works locally for the time being.)

You do want to quote the achievement name, so use:

Code: Select all

$ achievement.grant("game_clear")

To avoid errors.

This method isn't working for me unfortunately. Have you had any luck KairuKyun?

I haven't tested this yet, I am trying to decrease the amount of lag in the game when in steam. And I'm waiting for my Artist to finish the pictures so I can test it with no errors.

Would you mind testing it now with temporary data?

[KairuKyun]

Yeah, Sure ill get on that this afternoon.
