ae979f1edb * [alex47exe] major overhaul of **generate_emu_config** - custom configs, proper ini parsing, better logging and error handling, helper tools:
* add `-def1` ... `-def5` arguments, which can be used to generate your preferred custom config
    if no `-def` argument is provided, `-def1` will be used by default, to automatically copy from the following folders:
    * `.\_DEFAULT\0` ............... essential emu files, like latest GSE dlls (*steam_api.dll* and *steam_api64.dll*)
    * `.\_DEFAULT\1` ............... other GSE files and folders, including default ini files
    * `.\_DEFAULT\<appid>` ... other GSE files and folders, but only for the current `<appid>`, if the folder exists
  * (Windows only) add some useful helper tools, written in *AutoIt3*:
    * **gse_acw_helper.exe** - add the required achievements schema db files for *Achievement Watcher*, if  .\steam_misc\extra_acw\extra_acw.zip file exists (if generated by `generate_emu_config.exe -acw <appid>`)
    * **gse_debug_switch.exe** - automatically switch between release and debug versions of the emulator, if *steam_api.7z* / *steam_api64.7z* file exists (or *steamclient.7z* / *steamclient64.7z*, if you use the steamclient version)
      paths to release and debug files inside 7z, can be customized in .\steam_misc\tools\au3\scripts\gse_debug_switch.ini
    * **gse_generate_interfaces.exe** - simple x64-x86 launcher for *generate_interfaces.exe*
      it also writes all found steam interfaces to CODEX *steam_emu.ini* (if generated by `generate_emu_config -cdx <appid>`)
      make sure to name your original dll to one of these formats, so it can automatically find its interfaces:
      * `valve_api.dll / valve_api64.dll`
      * `steam_api.dll.bak / steam_api64.dll.bak` or `steam_api.dll.org / steam_api64.dll.org`
      * `steam_api.bak / steam_api64.bak` or `steam_api.org / steam_api64.org`
      * `steam_api_orig.dll / steam_api64_orig.dll` or `steam_api_legit.dll / steam_api64_legit.dll`
    * **gse_lobby_connect.exe** - simple x64-x86 launcher for *lobby_connect.exe*
  * new folder structure, compatible with current and future helper tools --- default arguments are `-acw -cdx -clr <appid>`
    NEVER delete `.\steam_misc\app_backup`, `.\steam_misc\app_info`, `.\steam_misc\tools` and `.\steam_settings` folders
    MIGHT need `.\steam_misc\extra_acw` and `.\steam_misc\extra_cdx` for compatibility with Achievement Watcher and CODEX
  * add `-scx` argument to automatically download images / videos for trading cards, backgrounds, badges, emoticons and other tradable items
    unfortunately I couldn't find any direct steam api method to download the files, so I had to write a rudimentary web scrapper to extract the download links from a third-party website, hence the *scx_gen.py* script might need updating in the future if the website design changes
  * download screenshots and videos:
    * download thumbnails for both screenshots and videos, and compress them to `.zip` files
    * screenshots and videos are now numbered from first to last published, as in the Steam store page
    * add `-vids_low` / `-vids_max` arguments to download all videos, in low and / or high quality
  * create / update .\\*top_owners_ids.txt* when .\\*top_owners_ids.html* is present
  * generate controller action sets txt files for all found controller vdf configs, and zip them inside .\steam_misc\app_backup\app_backup.zip
    by default, the emu supports only `xboxone` and `xbox360` controller configs, though if the're are any issues with the default supported controller action sets inside .\steam_settings\controller folder, you could try to unpack and overwrite action sets for other unsupported controller configs
  * (Windows only) add *AdvancedRun* launchers (cmd console + silent) for `.bat` files and `.py` scripts
* **[alex47exe]** major overhaul of **migrate_gse** - uses the same `.\_DEFAULT\0` and `.\_DEFAULT\1` folder structure for default configs
  it can convert old `.txt` format to `.ini` format, minus *branches.json*, which would require using *top_owners_ids.txt* and some login code from **generate_emu_config**, which should actually be used to properly generate the config files, instead of converting from the old `.txt` format
* [alex47exe] *generate_interfaces.exe* - find all Steam Interfaces instead of only old ones
  the emu will ignore the ones it doesn't require, while we'll have the complete list to write it to CODEX *steam_emu.ini*
* [alex47exe] *lobby_connect.exe* - improve cmd console text alignment
* [alex47exe] `mods_img` instead of `mod_images` (better folder consistency), better example for `mods_img`, minor tweaks to `.ini` and `.md` files

35c0c408b9 * allow changing the name of the base folder used to store save data via saves_folder_name, by default it would be Goldberg SteamEmu Saves
* changed the environment variable `SteamAppPath` to `GseAppPath`
* allow loading `config.ini` from global settings path + merge it with the local one, and allow the local one to override the global one
* fixed the path returned by `get_user_appdata_path()` to include the path separator
* updated readmes
