Integration with Steam for Galaxy

Steam Integration

GOG Galaxy 2.0 Community integration for Steam.

This is a fork of the repository from FriendsOfGalaxy, intended to continue development until they resume their work.

This is unofficial and purely maintained by fans!

Installation

The latest release should be available for download via the "Connect" button in Galaxy

To install a custom build:

• make sure Galaxy is closed
• remove the currently installed plugin directory (if present), usually
  %localappdata%\GOG.com\Galaxy\plugins\installed\steam_ca27391f-2675-49b1-92c0-896d43afa4f8
• create a new folder under a name of your choice (the name doesn't matter) at the following path:
  %localappdata%\GOG.com\Galaxy\plugins\installed\
• copy the custom build files to the newly created folder

If the latest version available on Github is newer than the version specified in the manifest.json file in the custom build, Galaxy will download the newer version and replace the files. To prevent this from happening, you can manually set the version in manifest.json to a significantly higher value (e.g. 9.9).

Configuration of the backend operation mode

The plugin supports different data collectors, called backends.

Currently supported backends are:

1. Steam Network
   • uses internal Steam protocols
   • supports library, game times, achievements, importing tags, friends presence
2. Public Profiles
   • works without providing user credentials
   • requires steamcommunity.com user's profile to be set as public with access at least for games library
   • supports library, game times, achievements, importing tags

NOTE: Data imported by different backends may differ due to both Steam side inconsistencies and limitations of specific backend implementation.

NOTE: interaction with local games and local Steam client is the same for all backends.

The behavior is configurable using a config file.

Config file location

• Windows: %localappdata%\GOG.com\Galaxy\plugins\installed\steam_plugin_config.ini

• MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/GOG.com/Galaxy/plugins/installed/steam_plugin_config.ini

Default behavior

Initial backend (with the login window) is set to use Steam Network and switches to Public Profiles automatically when stored token become invalid (for the main reason see #74).
