Overview ¶

Package steaminput routes games without DualSense support through Steam Input. Each such game gets a non-Steam shortcut in the user's shortcuts.vdf (in a "Seaglass" collection) and is started with steam://rungameid/…, so Steam presents the controller as an Xbox pad.

Steam keeps shortcuts.vdf in memory and writes it back when it exits, so the file is only changed while Steam is closed.

Functions ¶

func Add ¶

func Add(files []string, list []Shortcut) error

Add puts the shortcuts that are missing into every file. Steam must be closed. The first time a file is changed, a copy of the original is kept next to it (shortcuts.vdf.seaglass-backup).

func Files ¶

func Files() ([]string, error)

Files returns the shortcuts.vdf of the Steam account(s) used on this PC.

func Find ¶

func Find(files []string, s Shortcut) (id uint32, ok bool)

Find returns the id of an existing shortcut for s in every file, or ok=false when any file lacks one.

func Running ¶

func Running() bool

Running reports whether Steam runs.

func Shutdown ¶

func Shutdown(ctx context.Context) error

Shutdown asks Steam to exit and waits until it has.

func URI ¶

func URI(id uint32) string

URI starts the shortcut through Steam.

Types ¶

type Shortcut ¶

type Shortcut struct {
	Name    string
	Exe     string // full path
	WorkDir string
	Args    string
}

Shortcut is a game as Steam should start it.

func (Shortcut) ID ¶

func (s Shortcut) ID() uint32

ID is the id Steam gives a non-Steam shortcut: a CRC of the quoted exe and the name, with the top bit set.
