Add Non Steam Game
Adding a Non-Steam Game to Steam using steamtinkerlaunch can be done either completely via Command Line or via Gui.
The Gui can either be started via commandline using the addnonsteamgame (ansg) parameter without any further arguments
or with the additional -ep=|--exepath= parameter plus a gui parameter
or directly from the Main Menu as Extra Button.
For Command Line only mode the following options followed by the addnonsteamgame (ansg) parameter are accepted:
-
-an=|--appname=(App Name - optional) -
-ep=|--exepath=(Full gamepath required!) -
-sd=|--startdir=(Start Dir - optional) -
-ip=|--iconpath=(Icon Path - optional) -
-lo=|--launchoptions(Game Launch Options - optional) -
-hd=|--hide=(Hide Game - optional, default disabled) -
-adc=|--allowdesktopconf=(Allow Desktop Conf - optional,?, default disabled) -
-ao=|--allowoverlay=(Allow Overlay - optional, default disabled) -
-vr=|--openvr=(OpenVR - optional, default disabled) -
-t=|--tags=(Tags - comma-separated, default empty)
A working example for a bare minimum command line is:
steamtinkerlaunch ansg -ep=/media/B4-1/GOG/Pirates\!/start.sh
(the game will be added with Title start.sh to the Games Library as no -an was provided, as -sd the game directory will be used automatically)
*NOTICE: Steam needs to be restarted to make a newly added Game available.
When Tags are selected for the new game the command steam steam://resetcollections
must be run and confirmed afterwards in the Steam Client to active them.
(or alternatively with 'steamtinkerlaunch src' or directly within the steamtinkerlaunch Tray Icon menu
If the Steam Category 'Non-Steam' exists (at least one regular game needs to have this category else it can't be found currently), the checkbox for the corresponding tag is auto-enabled.
