[plugin] Steam+leaderboard +experimental lobby [WIP]

Thanks — —

I still have a lot of work to finish lobby integration (even with a chat integration if all previous features work as intended) and to check compatibility with last nw13 and new nw14...

I think I will create one version for each nw version (12,13 and 14) for win32/64 and linux 32/64

updates :

• added experimental steam lobby
• added action for creating lobby
• added trigger for steam callback
• added trigger for lobby error/success
• code optimizations
• added action "request for existing lobby and join it" + trigger error/success

updates :

- added experimental steam lobby

- added action for creating lobby

- added trigger for steam callback

- added trigger for lobby error/success

- code optimizations

- added action "request for existing lobby and join it" + trigger error/success

For games that can fight past the Greenlight process, this will be invaluable! Keep at it!!

OMG this is AMAZING!

I have a game coming out on Steam next month so this will be insanely helpful!

Thank you for your hard work.

Which version of NW.JS does it support? Which version of C2 does it support?

I currently do a lot of tests on Windows 7 Pro 64b with C2-216 and NW12.

I already tested on Windows 7 64b with C2-221 and nw13-beta7, nw13-rc1/2/3/4 and nw13.2 - win8.1 pro 64 with C2-221 and nw13-rc1/2/3/4 and nw13.2 - linux (ubuntu) nw12 (without leaderboard and lobby features atm).

Do you work on your plugin with(or for) Ashley?

No, he never contacted me about this plugin.

Where can I download your plugin? When do you think you can release it?

Nowhere for now. I still working on it.

I will release it once I have a test on a live game.(with leaderboard; lobby will come later I think)

Can I test your plugin?

Sorry, not for now.

Which stuff are needed to make it work?

I recommend a valid steamworks account (with a valid Steam App ID) and a greenlighted project. Without this, the plugin will not work with all features and can crash with advanced functions (leaderboard, lobby).

The overlay works as intended?

Once the game has a constant graphical refresh (refresh's canvas), the overlay appears to work correctly.(for the moment)

Thanks for reading.

Regards,

Outstanding progress

My game goes live on steam on friday. What do you think the timeline on releasing this might be?

Flump , Colludium Thank you ^^

Can't wait for this! Amazing work!

This would be AMAZING!

My new game launches on Steam on the 27th of May so the timing would be perfect.

Hi folks,

Steam overlay works as intented even with popup notification when you unlock an achievement; on the new version for NW14

Tested on Win7 32/64b

Yes I can confirm that the steam plugin by MadSpy works great with R227 and NW14 with overlay, leaderboard and everything working on Steam. He has truly done an amazing job with this one!

Woop woop!! I need to work faster at my game so I can implement this lol !!
