## What is this ?
This is a command line tool to generate the `steam_settings` folder for the emu,  
you need a Steam account to grab most info, but you can use an anonymous account with limited access to Steam data.  

<br/>

## Usage
```bash
generate_emu_config [options] <app id 1> [app id 2] [app id 3] ...
```  

---

### Available **\[options\]**
To get all available options, run the tool without any arguments.  

---

### Login:
You'll be asked each time to enter your username and password.  
You can also place a file called `my_login.txt` beside this tool with the following data:  
* Your **username** on the **first** line
* Your **password** on the **second** line  

**But beware though of accidentally distributing your login data when using this file**.

### Account ID:
The script uses public Steam IDs (in Steam64 format) of apps/games owners in order to query the required info, such as achievement data.  
By default, it has a built-in list of public users IDs, and you can extend this list by creating a file called `top_owners_ids.txt` beside the script, then add each new ID in Steam64 format on a separate line.  

When you login with a non-anonymous account, its ID will be added to the top of the list.
