LOTTE'S NOTES

Facepunch.Steamworks is probably the best steam wrapper to work with in C# - unfortunatly its not recieveing updates anymore in the mainline repository (the last official release was in 2020!). over the last 4 years ive regularly had to download the dang git repository, remember how it all works and build an updated version just before shipping some Unity game to steam... This time i figured WHY NOT COMMIT A FORK. Maybe ill save you an hours work.

So whats in this fork?

✔ Built against Steamworks 1.61

✔ Exposes all the new Steam Timeline stuff needed to have full Game Recording support in a game

✔ Added support for Dynamic Cloud Sync

✔ Added support for Steam beta branch querying and switching

✔ Adds a Unity package that can be easily installed with Unity Package Manager, with prebuilt 64bit .Net Standard 2.1 assemblies for Windows, OSX and Steamdeck

Why

The Steamworks C# implementations I found that were compatible with Unity have worked for a long time. But I hate them all. For a number of different reasons.

• They're not C#, they're just a collection of functions.
• They're not up to date.
• They require a 3rd party native dll.
• They can't be compiled into a standalone dll (in Unity).
• They're not free
• They have a restrictive license.

C# is meant to make things easier. So lets try to wrap it up in a way that makes it all easier.

What

Get your own information

    SteamClient.SteamId // Your SteamId
    SteamClient.Name // Your Name

View your friends list

foreach ( var friend in SteamFriends.GetFriends() )
{
    Console.WriteLine( $"{friend.Id}: {friend.Name}" );
    Console.WriteLine( $"{friend.IsOnline} / {friend.SteamLevel}" );
    
    friend.SendMessage( "Hello Friend" );
}

App Info

    Console.WriteLine( SteamApps.GameLanguage ); // Print the current game language
    var installDir = SteamApps.AppInstallDir( 4000 ); // Get the path to the Garry's Mod install folder

    var fileinfo = await SteamApps.GetFileDetailsAsync( "hl2.exe" ); // async get file details
    DoSomething( fileinfo.SizeInBytes, fileinfo.Sha1 );

Get Avatars

    var image = await SteamFriends.GetLargeAvatarAsync( steamid );
    if ( !image.HasValue ) return DefaultImage;

    return MakeTextureFromRGBA( image.Value.Data, image.Value.Width, image.Value.Height );

Get a list of servers

using ( var list = new ServerList.Internet() )
{
    list.AddFilter( "map", "de_dust" );
    await list.RunQueryAsync();

    foreach ( var server in list.Responsive )
    {
        Console.WriteLine( $"{server.Address} {server.Name}" );
    }
}

Achievements

List them

    foreach ( var a in SteamUserStats.Achievements )
    {
        Console.WriteLine( $"{a.Name} ({a.State})" );
    }	

Unlock them

    var ach = new Achievement( "GM_PLAYED_WITH_GARRY" );
    ach.Trigger();

Voice

    SteamUser.VoiceRecord = KeyDown( "V" );

    if ( SteamUser.HasVoiceData )
    {
        var bytesrwritten = SteamUser.ReadVoiceData( stream );
        // Send Stream Data To Server or Something
    }

Auth

    // Client sends ticket data to server somehow
    var ticket = SteamUser.GetAuthSessionTicket();

    // server listens to event
    SteamServer.OnValidateAuthTicketResponse += ( steamid, ownerid, rsponse ) =>
    {
        if ( rsponse == AuthResponse.OK )
            TellUserTheyCanBeOnServer( steamid );
        else
            KickUser( steamid );
    };

    // server gets ticket data from client, calls this function.. which either returns
    // false straight away, or will issue a TicketResponse.
    if ( !SteamServer.BeginAuthSession( ticketData, clientSteamId ) )
    {
        KickUser( clientSteamId );
    }

    //
    // Client is leaving, cancels their ticket OnValidateAuth is called on the server again
    // this time with AuthResponse.AuthTicketCanceled
    //
    ticket.Cancel();

Utils

    SteamUtils.SecondsSinceAppActive;
    SteamUtils.SecondsSinceComputerActive;
    SteamUtils.IpCountry;
    SteamUtils.UsingBatteryPower;
    SteamUtils.CurrentBatteryPower;
    SteamUtils.AppId;
    SteamUtils.IsOverlayEnabled;

    var result = await q.GetPageAsync( 1 );

    Console.WriteLine( $"ResultCount: {result?.ResultCount}" );
    Console.WriteLine( $"TotalCount: {result?.TotalCount}" );

    foreach ( Ugc.Item entry in result.Value.Entries )
    {
        Console.WriteLine( $"{entry.Title}" );

    }

Get a list of your items

    // result is disposable, good manners to dispose after use
    using ( result )
    {
        var items = result?.GetItems( bWithProperties );

        foreach ( InventoryItem item in items )
        {
            Console.WriteLine( $"{item.Id} / {item.Quantity} / {item.Def.Name} " );

Getting Started

Client

To initialize a client you can do this.

using Steamworks;

// ...

try 
{
    SteamClient.Init( 4000 );
}
catch ( System.Exception e )
{
    // Couldn't init for some reason (steam is closed etc)
}

Replace 4000 with the appid of your game. You shouldn't call any Steam functions before you initialize.

When you're done, when you're closing your game, just shutdown.

SteamClient.Shutdown();

Server

To create a server do this.

var serverInit = new SteamServerInit( "gmod", "Garry Mode" )
{
    GamePort = 28015,
    Secure = true,
    QueryPort = 28016
};

try
{
    Steamworks.SteamServer.Init( 4000, serverInit );
}
catch ( System.Exception )
{
    // Couldn't init for some reason (dll errors, blocked ports)
}
