New Readme for noobs

[AmberElferink]

Okay, so I just succesfully did it. I don't know how to adress all of your issues (which are also old) but maybe for the future this will help some. First of all:

• Start Steam, go to Settings -> Downloads -> Steam Library Folder. Add the Folder "Steam" where the you are trying to import are. You can do only one extra folder (so there are two listed in total)! Somehow GetOnTop does not correctly do it for more drives. If you imported more folders already, reinstall steam, and only import one this time.
• Fully Exit Steam

Starting Powershell

• Run Powershell as admin (Right click and Run as admin).

• Type and enter: set-executionpolicy remotesigned Type and enter: y Otherwise you won't be able to run the script. We will change it back later, don't worry about the security warning.

• Go to your folder where you have downloaded the GetOnTop folder. (Extract the .zip first). Copy the address to the GetOnTop extracted folder, for instance: C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Downloads\Steam-GetOnTop-master\Steam-GetOnTop-master

• type cd "your copied path within those quotes" and press enter. Do not forget those quotes! For example: type and enter: cd "C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Downloads\Steam-GetOnTop-master\Steam-GetOnTop-master"

• Type and enter: .\Publish-SteamAppManifests.ps1

• Let it do stuff until the column screen pops up. If not many games have the -1 in the first column, you can search them manually and enter the appID's in the first row, see Searching appIDs Manually below. If many are -1, I have a trick. This case just press the Create button in the bottom right corner.

If there were many games with appID -1 in the box, do the following:

• Type and enter: .\Publish-SteamAppManifests.ps1 -IncludeGamesNotOwned It gives you a warning that it will take long and be less successful, in my experience, this is not the case. It also finds games you actually do own better, don't ask me why. It only takes slightly longer.
• Type and enter: y
• Let it run, now it will probably find more games and have less -1's in the appID column.

Searching appIDs Manually

• For all games with -1 in the appID column:
  • Go to https://store.steampowered.com/
  • Search for the game, for example SUPERHOT
  • copy the number in the link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/322500/SUPERHOT/ In this case: 322500
  • this is the appID, paste it instead of the -1 corresponding to the game.
  • check the Valid checkbox on the right of the game.

Finalizing

• When you're done with everything, hit the Create button in the column screen if you haven't done so already.
• Type and enter in powershell: Set-Execution Policy Undefined
• Type and enter: y This will reset your security so no unwanted apps will execute.
• Start steam, there will be a Download queue which will not download, but only verify the files of the games automatically.

Well, I followed the exact Readme and it did not tell me I had to Initialize first, i had to discover this myself, I think this step should be explicited before running the Publish part.
