Using the player's Steam name?

[pfranzen]

Hello! Does anyone know if it's possible for Ren'py to read/display the user's Steam name? (Assuming they're playing the game on Steam, of course).

i.e., would it be possible to display "Hi, [steamuser]!" (Kind of like how Doki Doki Literature Club uses the player's Windows login name.)

Just from glancing at how the achievement API is set up, it looks like you'd have to do something like

Code: Select all

try:
        import _renpysteam as steam
        $ player_name = steam.get_persona_name()
except:
        $ player_name = _("Player")

I haven't tested this, but _renpysteam will only be importable if the Steamworks API is integrated, which I think involves having the steamworks sdk downloaded and the RENPY_STEAM_SDK environment variable set to find it but idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'll give this a shot, thank you!!
