Help integrating the Steam API

[PyTom]

6.99.4 will have some diagnostics to help determine if steam support is detected properly.

PyTom has just sent me the zip file containing the files you mention, so I guess you'd need to PM him, although I've just tested it and achievements still aren't being picked up...

He just sent me this zip too. Achievements works correctly at least on Windows and Mac OS X.

Did you unzip it into the renpy directory, or the build directory?

*EDIT* I'm guessing it doesn't make a difference as if they're present in the renpy directory, they're also present in the build... I really can't figure this out T_T

Okay crimsonnight Pytom sent me the files i needed turns out i had the right idea the whole time but not the right files. When I get home ill test it and see if it works.

Shiz has very kindly help me fix it! It's not using the latest ren'py functionality, but I can confirm it works:

1. Download the following file: https://shiz.me/junk/renpy/steam.py and place it in *name of your game*/game

2. Create a *name of your game*/game/libs directory and copy the following files from the LATEST steamworks SDK (found at https://partner.steamgames.com) to it:

redistributable_bin/steam_api.dll
redistributable_bin/osx32/libsteam_api.dylib
redistributable_bin/linux32/libsteam_api.so
redistributable_bin/linux64/libsteam_api.so renamed to: libsteam_api_64.so

3. Add the following to script.rpy:

Code: Select all

init python: 
    import steam 
    if steam.loaded: 
        steam.init() 

4. Finally, when you want to unlock something:

Code: Select all

$ steam.unlock_achievement('achievementname')

*EDIT* There's a problem with this method and Linux/Mac OS' - Shiz has edited this method slightly since this to fix this issue.

I don't recommend those instructions, as it moves to an unofficial implementation, and not the supported one. 6.99.4 will include logging of errors initializing steam.

[KairuKyun]

Its tempting to take that route but if Pytom said no i might as well listen ;-;

[PyTom]

FYI, 6.99.4 is in prerelease, and I updated renpy-steam-libs to match. Now, on start, Ren'Py will log some steam-based information to log.txt.

So, I've done all the steps. Added the lib folder and steam_appid to my RPY folder.

But WHICH one?

The one in the Steam SDK? Content\AOT_Win? Or my base renpy folder on my desktop?

I had a problem with the integration of steam.
You need to unzip the archive as said above.
But also be sure to click the publish button in steam.
Otherwise steamworks does not save the path to the executable file.
