OpenSteamClient

An open source C++ library to interface with the Steam network.

Building

To build, first compile the protobufs with your platform's GenerateProtobufs script. Then use the GenerateProjects script to generate Visual Studio/make project files.

Building on Linux

On Linux, you need to following packages to build OpenSteamClient:

libc6-i386 (if on amd64)
libcrypto++-dev
libprotobuf-dev
protobuf-compiler

Example Code

Here's how you connect to the Steam network with OpenSteamClient and set your friend status to online.

Sc::SteamClient client;
Sc::SteamUser user(client);
Sc::SteamFriends friends(client);

client.OnConnect->Add([&](Sc::ConnectEvent ev)
{
    if(ev.result == Sc::EResult_OK)
	{
		Sc::LoginDetails details;
		details.username = "";
		details.password = "";
		user.LogIn(details);
	}
	else
	{
		// Couldn't connect.
	}
});

client.OnDisconnect->Add([&](Sc::DisconnectEvent ev)
{
	// Disconnected.
});

user.OnLoggedIn->Add([&](Sc::LoggedInEvent ev)
{
	if(ev.result == Sc::EResult_OK)
	{
		friends.SetPersonaName("dajoh");
		friends.SetPersonaState(Sc::EPersonaState_Online);
	}
	else
	{
		// Couldn't log in.
	}
});

// Start connecting.
client.Connect();

while(client.IsConnected())
{
	// -1 is the timeout in ms for waiting for packets.
	// -1 means infinite.
	client.Run(-1);
}

Make sure to catch any exceptions thrown by SteamClient::Run(), if an exception is thrown you have to recreate the SteamClient object (and SteamFriends, etc) and connect again.

Special Thanks

Special thanks to everybody who contributed to SteamKit2, without it this project would never have been created.
