# 2024/2/29
* revert the changes to `steam_matchmaking_servers` and only enable them via the 2 new config files:
- `matchmaking_server_list_actual_type.txt`: enable the behavior which allows steam matchmaking to use the actual type of the requestd server list, otherwise it's always LAN
- `matchmaking_server_details_via_source_query.txt`: enable the behavior which allows steam matchmaking to use actual source server query to grab the server info
thanks a lot to **[LuKeSt0rm]** for the help and testing
* added a new flag `-reldir` for the `generate_emu_config` script which allows it to generate temp files/folders, and expect input files, relative to the current workig directory, suggested by **[ImportTaste]**
# 2024/2/24
* build the python scripts `achievements_gen.py` and `parse_controller_vdf.py` into binary form using `pyinstaller` for a more user friendly usage, suggested by **[DogancanYr]**

# 2024/2/23
* more accurately handle and download steamhttp requests in multi-threaded manner:
- hanlde `GET`, `HEAD`, `POST`
- properly set `POST` data (raw and parameterized), and `GET` parameters
- properly set request headers
* new config file `force_steamhttp_success.txt` in `steam_settings` folder, which forces the API `Steam_HTTP::SendHTTPRequest()` to always succeed
---
* **[breaking]** deprecated the config file `http_online.txt` in favor of the new one `download_steamhttp_requests.txt`
---
# 2024/2/20

---
## 2024/1/20
* **[Detanup01]** added implementation for `Steam_Remote_Storage::EnumerateUserSubscribedFiles()` +
mods files handles in `Steam_Remote_Storage::UGCDownload()` + `Steam_Remote_Storage::UGCDownloadToLocation()`
which makes mods now work for many games
* **[Kola124]** enhanced the settings parser to detect primary and preview mod files sizes automatically +
use the base Steam URL by default for workshop URL + auto calculate the mod `score` from up/down votes
also thanks to **[BTFighter]** for providing logs
* **Breaking change** mod preview image file must exist in `steam_settings\mod_images\<MOD_ID>`
* an enhancement to the settings parser to attempt to auto detect mods when `mods.json` is not present, with the same behavior as when the json file was created.
this works for mods with only 1 primary file and only 1 preview file
* fixed the generated path of mod `preview_url`, previously it would contain back slashes `\` on Windows
* use last week epoch as the default time for mods dates (created, added, etc...)
* make sure the mod path is always normalized and absolute, required by some APIs
* `Steam UGC`: implement `SetUserItemVote()`, `GetUserItemVote()`, `AddItemToFavorites()`, `RemoveItemFromFavorites()`,
favorite mods list are now saved in `favorites.txt` in the user save data folder
* cold client loader can now inject user dlls, and force inject the `steamclient(64).dll` library,
also you can control the injection order via a file `load_order.txt`, check its readme and the provided example
* a new experimental dll (which must be injected first) to patch Stub drm v3.1 in memory, check the injection example of the cold client loader
* cold client loader will now treat relative paths as relative to its own path, previously it used the current active directory
* cold client loader no longer needs an explicit setting for the `ExeRunDir`, by default it would be the folder of the exe
* in cold client loader, the option `ResumeByDebugger` is now available for the release build
* cold client loader is now built for 32-bit and 64-bit separately, and will display a nag about architecture difference if for example the app was 32-bit and the loader was 64-bit, this could be disabled via the setting `IgnoreLoaderArchDifference=1`
* the cold client loader will output useful debug info when the debug build is used
* added a very basic crashes logger/printer, enabled by creating a file called `crash_printer_location.txt` inside the `steam_settings` folder, check README.realease.md for more details
* fixed a problem in the overlay which would cause a crash for the guest player when an invitation was sent
* `Steam UGC`: make sure returned mod folder from `GetItemInstallInfo()` is null terminated, previously some apps would get a bad malformed string because of this
* `Steam_RemoteStorage`: very basic implementation for `GetQueryUGCNumTags()`, `GetQueryUGCTag()`, `GetQueryUGCTagDisplayName()`
* new function in local storage to get list of folders at root level, given some path
* imitate how the DOS Stub is manipulated during/after the build
* some fixes to the win build script + use the undocumented linker flag `/emittoolversioninfo:no` to prevent adding the MSVC Rich Header
* debug messages are now mostly scoped, ex: `Steam_Ugc::XXX`
* added a bunch of helper functions, `common_helpers::XXX` + `pe_helpers::XXX`
---
## 2024/1/5
* **[Detanup01]** Fixed parsing of old Steam interfaces, reported by **[LuKeStorm]**: https://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2971639#p2971639
* refactored the tool `find_intrfaces` to search accurately for old interfaces
---
## 2024/1/3
* added a new option to the Windows version of the client loader to aid in debugging.
the option is called `ResumeByDebugger`, and setting it to `1` will prevent the loader from
auto resuming the main app thread, giving you a chance to attach your debugger.
* make the script `generate_emu_config` generate an empty `DLC.txt` if the app has no DLCs
* windows build: sign each file after build with a self-signed generated certificate + note in the release readme regarding false-positives
* windows build: note in readme about Windows SDK
* windows build: added vesion resource (.rc file)
* gen emu config: readme + icon attribution
* added anonymous login to gen emu script, these accounts have very limited access
* linux + win build scripts: introduce -verbose flag
* windows build script: ensure /MT when compiling
* output protoc generated in a subfolder in dll/ for easier code reference +
don't cleanup protoc generated files, because VScode gets confused and cannot find files/types
---
## 2023/12/21 - 2023/12/27
* **[Detanup01]** added option to send auth token with new Ticket! + an option to include the GC token
by default the emu will send the old token format for various APIs, like:
* `Steam_GameServer::GetAuthSessionTicket()`
* `Steam_User::GetAuthSessionTicket()`
* `Steam_User::GetAuthTicketForWebApi()`
this allows the emu to generate new ticket data, and additionally the GC token.
check the new config files `new_app_ticket.txt` and `gc_token.txt` in the `steam_settings` folder
* **[Detanup01]** fixed print issues in some places
* **[remelt]** use the `index` argument to grab the preview URL from UGC query result, fixed by: https://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2964432#p2964432
* **[remelt]** allow overriding mod `path` & mod `preview_url` in the `mods.json` file, suggested by: https://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2964432#p2964432
* allow setting the mod `score` in the `mods.json`
* when the mod `preview_url` is not overridden, don't set it automatically if `preview_filename` was empty, otherwise the `preview_url` will be pointing to the entire `mod_images` folder, like: `file://C:/my_game/steam_settings/mod_images/`
instead set it to an empty string
* updated `mods.EXAMPLE.json`
* added 2 new config files `is_beta_branch.txt` and `force_branch_name.txt`
by default the emu will report a `non-beta` branch with the name `public` when the game calls `Steam_Apps::GetCurrentBetaName()`
these new config files allow changing that behavior, check the `steam_settings` folder
* refactored the `steamclient_loader` script for Linux + new options and enhancements to make it similar to the Windows version, check its new README!
* for steamclient loader (Windows + Linux): pass loader arguments to the target exe, allowing it to be used from external callers, example by the `lobby_connect` tool
* deprecated the `find_interface` scripts, now the executable is built for Windows & Linux!
* included the `steam_settings.EXAMPLE` for Linux build
* updated release READMEs!
* added a README for the repo with detailed build steps
>>>>>>>>> ---
* check for invalid data pointer in `GetAuthSessionTicket()`
* additional sanity check in `InitiateGameConnection()` + print input data address in debug build
* moved the example `app id` and `interfaces` files inside `steam_settings` folder, to avoid encouraging putting files outside
>>>>>>>>> ---
* fixed all debug build warnings for Linux & Windows (no more scary messages!)
* updated Linux & Windows build scripts to avoid removing the entire build folder before building + introduced `clean` flag
* added licenses & sources of all extrnal libraries + added a new cryptography library `Mbed TLS`
you have to rebuilt the deps
* deprecated the separate/dedicated cleanup script for Windows, it's now inlined in the main build script
* For Windows build script: deprecated `low perf` & `win xp` options
* For Linux build script: deprecated `low perf` option
* restored all original but unused repo files into their separate folder
* lots of refactoring and relocation in the source repo:
- all build stuff will be inside `build` folder
- restructured the entire repo
- generate proto source files in the `build\tmp` folder insead of the actual source folder
>>>>>>>>> ---
* `settings_parser.cpp`:
- cleanup the settings parser code by split it into functions
- increase the buffer size for `account_name` to 100 chars
- increase the buffer size for `language` to 64 chars
* `common_includes.h`:
- refactor includes order
- added new helper function to keep yielding the thread for a given amount of time (currently unused)
* build scripts:
- in Linux build scripts don't use `-d` flag with `rm`
- added global build stat message
- use an obnoxious name for the file handle variable used if the PRINT_DEBUG macro to avoid collisions, in the caller has a variable with same name
* don't cache deps build when pushing tag or opening pull requests
* remove hardcoded repo path + remove Git LFS flag since it's no longer needed
---
## 2023/12/20
* fixed the implementation of `BIsAppInstalled()`, it must lock the global mutex since it is thread-safe, otherwise it will cause starvation and the current thread wion't yield, which triggers some games
* more accurate behavior for `BIsAppInstalled()`, reject app ID if it was in the DLC list and isUnlockAllDlc was false
* basic implementation for `RequestAppProofOfPurchaseKey()` and `RequestAllProofOfPurchaseKeys()`
* a simple implementation for `GetEarliestPurchaseUnixTime()`
* more accurate implementation for `BGetSessionClientResolution()`, set both x & y to 0
* return false in `BIsDlcInstalled()` when the given app ID is the base game
* check for invalid app ID `uint32_max` in different places
* more accurate implementation for `BReleaseSteamPipe()`, return true if the pipe was released successfully
* lock the global mutex and the overlay mutex in different places just to be on the safe side, without it, some games suffer from thread starvation, might slow things down
* added missing env var `SteamOverlayGameId` to steam_client and client_loader
* added a startup timer + counter for reference, currently used to print timestamp in debug log
* consistent debug log location, for games that change cwd multiple times while running
* fixed error propagation in Windows build script, apparently set /a var+=another_var works only if another_var is a defined env var but NOT one of the "magic" builtins like errorlevel
---
## 2023/12/17
* More accurate implementation for BIsAppInstalled(), it now rejects uint32_max
* Allow behavior customizization via installed_app_ids.txt config file
* Limit/Lock list of installed apps on an empty file (similar to dlc.txt)
* Changed the behavior of GetCurrentBetaName() to comply with the docs, might break stuff
* Allow customizing the behavior via ne config files: `is_beta_branch.txt` + `force_branch_name.txt`
* New script to generate native executable for `generate_emu_config` on Linux using pyinstaller
* Deprecate the old `RtlGenRandom()` in favor of the new `BCryptGenRandom()`
* Setup Github Worflows to:
* Build `generate_emu_config` for `Linux` when you push code to a branch whose name matches the pattern `ci-build-gen-linux*`
* Build `generate_emu_config` for `Windows` when you push code to a branch whose name matches the pattern `ci-build-gen-win*`
* Build the emu for `Linux` when you push code to a branch whose name matches the pattern `ci-build-emu-linux*`
* Build the emu for `Windows` when you push code to a branch whose name matches the pattern `ci-build-emu-win*`
* Build everything when you push code to a branch whose name is `ci-build-all`
* Build everything and create a release when you push a tag whose name matches the pattern `release*`
* Packaging scripts for both Windows & Linux, usable locally and via Github Workflows
* For the emu:
* First run `build_win_deps.bat` (Windows)
or `sudo ./build_linux_deps.sh` (Linux)
* Run `build_win.bat release` + `build_win.bat debug` (Windows)
or `./build_linux.sh release` + `./build_linux.sh debug` (Linux)
* Finally run `package_win.bat release` + `package_win.bat debug` (Windows)
or `sudo ./package_linux.sh release` + `sudo ./package_linux.sh debug` (Linux)
* The same goes for `generate_emu_config` (scripts folder) but the scripts do not take any arguments, so no `release` or `debug`
* Added all third-party dependencies as local branches in this repo + refer to these branches as submodules, making the repo self contained

* explicitly use the ASCII version of Windows APIs to avoid conflict when building with define symbols UNICODE + _UNICODE
- base.cpp: GetModuleHandleA()
- steam_overlay.cpp: PlaySoundA()
* fix the implementation of RtlGenRandom stub:
+ return a number
+ use extern "C" if building in C++ mode
* add new build scripts for both Windows and Linux for a much easier dev/build experience,
both Windows and Linux scripts will run parallel build jobs for a much faster build times,
by default, the scripts will use 70% of the max available threads, but if the auto detection didn't work,
you can pass for example `-j 10` to the scripts to use 10 parallel jobs
on Linux, archives (.a files) of third party libraries are bundled wholly, and built statically via:
`-Wl,--whole-archive -Wl,-Bstatic -lssq -lcurl ... -Wl,-Bdynamic -Wl,--no-whole-archive`
this ensures that the final output binary (for example: libsteam.so) won't require these libraries at runtime
+ to build on Linux (I'm using latest Ubuntu on WSL)
- run as `sudo ./build_linux_deps.sh`, this will do the following:
+ download and install the required build tools via `apt-install`
+ unpack the third party libraries (protobuf, zlib, etc...) from the folder `third-party` to `build-linux-deps`
+ build the unpacked libraries from `build-linux-deps`
you only need this step once, additionally you can pass these arguments to the script:
+ `-verbose`: force cmake to display extra info
+ `-j <n>`: force cmake to use `<n>` parallel build jobs
- without sudo, run `./build_linux.sh` and pass the argument `release` or `debug` to build the emu in the corresponding mode, this will build the emu inside the folder `build-linux`
some additional arguments you can pass to the script:
+ `-lib-32`: prevent building 32-bit libsteam_api.so
+ `-lib-64`: prevent building 64-bit libsteam_api.so
+ `-client-32`: prevent building 32-bit steamclient.so
+ `-client-64`: prevent building 64-bit steamclient.so
+ `-tool-clientldr`: prevent copying the script steamclient_loader.sh
+ `-tool-itf`: prevent copying the script find_interfaces.sh
+ `-tool-lobby-32`: prevent building executable lobby_connect_x32
+ `-tool-lobby-64`: prevent building executable lobby_connect_x64
+ `+lowperf`: (UNTESTED) pass some arguments to the compiler to prevent emmiting instructions for: SSE4, popcnt, AVX
+ `-j <n>`: force build operations to use `<n>` parallel jobs
+ to build on Windows (just install Visual Studio 2019/2022)
- without admin, run `build_win_deps.bat`, this will do the following:
+ unpack the third party libraries (protobuf, zlib, etc...) from the folder `third-party` to `build-win-deps`
+ build the unpacked libraries from `build-win-deps`
you only need this step once, additionally you can pass these arguments to the script:
+ `-verbose`: force cmake to display extra info
+ `-j <n>`: force cmake to use `<n>` parallel build jobs
- without admin, run `build_win.bat` and pass the argument `release` or `debug` to build the emu in the corresponding mode,
this will build the emu inside the folder `build-win`
some additional arguments you can pass to the script:
+ `-lib-32`: prevent building 32-bit steam_api.dll
+ `-lib-64`: prevent building 64-bit steam_api64.dll
+ `-ex-lib-32`: prevent building `experimental steam_api.dll`
+ `-ex-lib-64`: prevent building `experimental steam_api64.dll`
