## 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] ...
```
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**.
---
<br/>
## Available **\[options\]**
To get all available options, run the tool without any arguments.
* `app id 1`: the ID of the first app, this is mandatory
* `app id <n>`: multiple/more app IDs to grab the data for
* `-shots`: download some additional screenshots for the app/game
* `-thumbs`: download some additional thumbnails for the app/game
* `-vid`: attempt to download the trailer/promo video
* `-imgs`: download common Steam imgaes, this includes a poster, Steam generated background, icon(s), and some other assets
* `-name`: output the data in a folder with the name of the app/game, illegal characters are removed
* `-cdx`: generate `.ini` file to be used by CODEX emu, this is quite outdated and needs manual editiong
* `-aw`: generate all schemas for Achievement Watcher by xan105: https://github.com/xan105/Achievement-Watcher
* `-clean`: attempt to cleanup/remove the output folder from previous runs, if it exists, before downloading the data again
* `-anon`: use anonymous account to login to Steam instead of using your own,
note that this account has very limited access to data, and it can't download most info
