Access to Environment Variables

[vieko]

Thank you immensely for the library! It has been extremely helpful. Wondering if you have looked into accessing Environment Variables? Particularly SteamTenfoot... I'm trying to determine if my game was launched from Big Picture mode.

Thanks again!

SEE: Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable();

Glad to hear this project is useful to you! :)

Sure, I guess I can add a function to get environment variables. One question though, if I may ask: what's the use case for wanting to know if the game was launched from Big Picture mode?

Hey! Thanks for getting back to me. I wish to know if on Big Picture Mode to exclude / include info (example: keyboard controls). Also, if on BPM: start the game on fullscreen mode.

Cheers,

Ah, guess that makes sense.

I've just added FRESteamWorks#getEnv(name:String):String to the API (in https://github.com/Ventero/FRESteamWorks/commit/1622b66a29d563d1960d9d78b3e81e456a67f5e3, forgot to reference this issue in the commit message). For a very simple usage example, see https://github.com/Ventero/FRESteamWorks/commit/1622b66a29d563d1960d9d78b3e81e456a67f5e3#diff-7.

I'll upload a new build of the ANEs later today.

Awesome! Thank you... will give this a try later today :)

New builds are up here: http://dump.ventero.de/FRESteamWorks/v0.4-30-g207935d/

A short confirmation if everything works as expected would be appreciated.

Thank you, thank you! I will try this in the AM :) On a related note, is it possible to add personaName as a value for LeaderboardEntry? am I missing something that is already there?

Digging further yielded this: SteamFriends()->GetFriendPersonaName( m_leaderboardEntries[index].m_steamIDUser ); Looks like it would be possible to add a function to grab the personaName for leaderboard entries, I think I could do it myself but had issues the last time I tried building the project locally... Any help, would be extremely appreciated it :) We are literally only missing the personaName for our leaderboards to be fully functional on KRUNCH.

Yeah, building the project is a bit tricky. There are some instructions in the readme (https://github.com/Ventero/FRESteamWorks#building-fresteamworks), but I really have to write a proper guide on how to set up and build FRESteamWorks.

I've opened #5 about the friend/persona stuff.

Sweet.
