* 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
What is this ?
This tool allows you to migrate your steam_settings folder, or your global settings folder from the old .txt format, to the new .ini oriented format.
How to migrate the global settings folder
Open the terminal/cmd in the folder of the tool and run it without any arguments.
- On Windows:
migrate_gse.exe - On Linux:
The tool will generate a new folder in the current directory calledchmod 777 migrate_gse ./migrate_gsesteam_settings, copy the content inside this folder (a bunch of.inifiles) and paste them here:- On Windows:
%appdata%\GSE Saves\settings\ - On Linux:
- if env var
XDG_DATA_HOMEis defined:
$XDG_DATA_HOME/GSE Saves/settings/ - Otherwise, if env var
HOMEis defined:
$HOME/.local/share/GSE Saves/settings/
- if env var
- On Windows:
Notice the new name of the global saves folder GSE Saves, not to be confused with the old one Goldberg SteamEmu Saves
Finally, copy everything from Goldberg SteamEmu Saves to GSE Saves
How to migrate a local steam settings folder
Open the terminal/cmd in the folder of the tool and run it with only one argument, which is the path to the target steam_settings folder.
- On Windows:
migrate_gse.exe "D:\my games\some game\steam_settings" - On Linux (notice how the tilde character is outside the quotes to allow it to expand):
The tool will generate a new folder in the current directory calledchmod 777 migrate_gse ./migrate_gse ~/"some game/steam_settings"steam_settings, copy the content inside this folder (a bunch of.inifiles) and paste them inside the target/oldsteam_settingsfolder
General notes
-
In all cases, the tool will not copy the achievements images, overlay fonts/sounds, and all the extra stuff, it will just generate the corresponding
.inifiles -
Some configuration files are still using the same old format, that includes all the
.jsonfiles, depots.txt, subscribed_groups_xxx.txt, etc ...
So don't just remove everything from the oldsteam_settingsfolder
