Is there a way to add full library to queue ? about lancache-autofill

[billthecatt]

I have a bash script that looks something like this:

./lancache-autofill steam:queue-app 730 --windows=true
#add DOD:S 300
./lancache-autofill steam:queue-app 300 --windows=true
#add DOTA2 570
./lancache-autofill steam:queue-app 570 --windows=true
#add Half-Life 2 220
./lancache-autofill steam:queue-app 220 --windows=true
#add ns2
./lancache-autofill steam:queue-app 4920 --windows=true
#add Rise of Nations 287450
./lancache-autofill steam:queue-app 287450 --windows=true
#add insurgency sandstorm 581320 41G
./lancache-autofill steam:queue-app 581320 --windows=true
#add tf2 25G
./lancache-autofill steam:queue-app 440 --windows=true
#add torchlight II 200710

You get the steamIDs you want and queue them as needed, then start the download with:
./lancache-autofill steam:start-downloading

The way this program works, it deletes the entire contents of the game from the drive after downloading, so I'm not sure what/how it could update content that's not there anymore, even if linux steamcmd knew about windows updates, which, I'm not exactly sure it does..

I have my windows clients pointed at the cache, so if one of them downloads the patches, it'll be in the cache for all the rest of your clients.

Hope this helps, have fun.

i saw the pull request to deal with this issue, but since it hasn't been accepted yet and if you need this functionality ASAP, the below method worked for me.

modifying line 42 in the script i found here to
f.write("./lancache-autofill steam:queue-app {} --windows=true\n#add {} to queue\n".format(id, name))

this gave me a similar bash script as @billthecatt

...
./lancache-autofill steam:queue-app 32370 --windows=true
#add STAR WARS™: Knights of the Old Republic™ to queue
./lancache-autofill steam:queue-app 32420 --windows=true
#add STAR WARS™: The Clone Wars - Republic Heroes™ to queue
./lancache-autofill steam:queue-app 32500 --windows=true
#add STAR WARS™: The Force Unleashed™ II to queue
...

just ran that once and then started downloading my entire library.

Since this app seems to not be actively developed, you could also take a look at my project https://github.com/tpill90/steam-lancache-prefill
It supports what you're looking for out of the box, just passing along --all to the prefill command will start prefilling your entire steam library.
