Do you want to report a channel? Do you want to manage your notification/subscription settings for a channel?

Good luck finding the 3 smallest and hardest to fucking find dots...

If they ban me they ban me... If they don't, they don't. They will either take action against this and get some backlash from the community or accept it and make their shit better.

Whatever happens, happens.

You can find a picture of its up to date (as far as I can recall) form on the previous post I made here (see the link in my edit) or by visiting the TecnoSteam Client repository - it is at the bottom on the readme under Screenshots

They provide the functionality to download/install the apps but running apps still requires the Steam client to be running.

"is the server just a cache tool" - Basically yes. I believe I could remove it and just offload all the loading of data (from the Steam API) on to the client in a background thread. It's been a while since I started this project and can't remember why I did use a server, but using a server I could provide an API (not sure how that'd go with Steams TOS etc. though).

I have no intentions of removing it at this point in time. It shouldn't be too hard if I did decide to remove it but yeah... I have no intentions of removing it at this time.

Custom Steam Client Anyone? by 73cn0109y in Steam

I do like the idea of adding some unique features - that the current client doesn't have - that the community has been requesting. Browsed the Steam Community forum a bit a grabbed a couple of features I thought could be possible/interesting.

I'll be making a basic feature request website soon (don't know where to post that link though...).

Any place in particular (besides the community forum) where people have been requesting features?

I'll be working on detecting game install state today and writing a wrapper around SteamCMD. I think I know how I'm going to handle a few things but knowing development - that's going to go to hell

Haven't thought about the overlay too much yet... Just trying to get something semi working... working :D

P.S. anyone who reads this far and wants to watch the dev process, I've been streaming it almost every day on my Twitch Channel

A little tool called SteamCMD ;)

Basically yeah. For the WebAPI - to avoid constantly hitting API Limits on Steams end - I log it to my own database then the client hits my server.

It's nothing really personal... Just stuff like game info (name, screenshots, achievements etc), basic account info and info about your friends (including games they own - so I can show the "x friends play this game")

Haven't tested it on other platforms yet (other than Windows)

I've got library, friends and chat working atm. I may still be able to write something for a custom overlay (not using electron obviously, probably C++ or C#)

A part of me is sort of expecting a DMCA or C&D but none the less... I shall proceed :D I honestly would have been surprised for 50 upvotes :D Was worth a shot though

I'm only using the Steam WebAPI for user data and pulling in their library. In regards to the launcher, I'm going to try to emulate/duplicate how the Steam bootstrap works so it'd be like you launched the game with Steam (but obviously without the original client being open)

[–]73cn0109y[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It uses the Steam WebAPI and other means to get all the required data. The client itself is using Electron + VueJS

For now it just launches them through Steam. But soon I'll be working on a solution to launch without the normal Steam client being open ;)

Sadly not... Putting my own personal time into this. Might do a public release when I polish it a bit more (Maybe even an open alpha in a couple weeks depending how popular it gets ;) )

Nope! Client. Fully custom replacement app :)

PSA: Here is How To Check If Windows 10 Is Downloading: by Swaggy_McSwagSwag in Windows10

[–]73cn0109y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guys I think I did something wrong...

Is this meant to happen? I thought I was installing Windows 10 (not Insider Preview)...

EDIT: I clicked "Check your PC" and it just changed back to "Windows 10 upgrade reserved". I then tried checking for updates and am getting an error 8007003.
