for better customization, it is now split in two arguments: - rel_out: generate complete game config in _OUTPUT/appid folder, relative to the bat, sh or app calling generate_emu_config app - rel_raw: generate complete game config in the same folder that contains the bat, sh or app calling generate_emu_config app
What is this ?
This is a command line tool to generate complete custom configs, including the steam_settings folder for the emu.
You need a Steam account to grab most info, but you can use an anonymous account with limited access to Steam data.
Usage
generate_emu_config [options] <app id 1> [app id 2] [app id 3] ...
To get all available options, run the tool without any arguments.
Using my_login.txt
You'll be asked each time to enter your username and password, but you can automate this prompt.
-
You can create a file called
my_login.txtbeside this tool with the following data:- Your username on the first line
- Your password on the second line
Beware of accidentally distributing your login data when using this file !
-
You can define these environment variables, note that these environment variables will override the file
my_login.txt:GSE_CFG_USERNAMEGSE_CFG_PASSWORD
When defining these environment variables in a script, take care of special characters.
Example for Windows:
set GSE_CFG_USERNAME=my_username set GSE_CFG_PASSWORD=123abc generate_emu_config.exe 480 Example for Linux:
export GSE_CFG_USERNAME=my_username export GSE_CFG_PASSWORD=123abc ./generate_emu_config 480
Using top_owners_ids.txt
The script uses public Steam IDs (in Steam64 format) of apps/games owners in order to query the required info, such as achievement data.
By default, it has a built-in list of public users IDs, which can be extended by creating a file called top_owners_ids.txt beside the script, then adding each new ID in Steam64 format on a separate line. When you login with a non-anonymous account, its ID will be added to the top of the list.
