Still worth doing

[subsoap]

This project is still worth doing right. An issue with DefSteam is it doesn't translate the ffi cdata, it returns it raw, and it doesn't handle callbacks. It was EZ mode to add some basic Steam features like achievements but I'm not sure it's best for everything else. I'm still looking at options though but doing it all as a native extension and adding features as needed may be best...

[subsoap]

I'm going to do some more work on DefSteam to try to make it as usable as it needs to be for now.

[subsoap]

Yeah.. I think there's no way to do this right for the callbacks to work in DefSteam other than with a native extension / making a DLL with the right stuff for FFI to use. Easiest thing for me to do probably would to make a native extension which can work alongside the FFI functions to enable callbacks then slowly move over to fully using the native extension.

Was this NE made with a pre-release version of native extensions? Could you try to update it so it builds? I tried updating everything, and it builds, but the game engine immediately closes. This is the log output

Yeah, this is an old NE. I can take a look this week.

I've updated the extension now so that it builds with the current extension system. I also updated to the latest Steam SDK (1.42)

[subsoap]

Nice, I'll test it out soon.

[subsoap]

It's not working for me, doing the same thing when I tried to update it. The x86_64-win32 has the wrong dll also it should be steam_api64.dll and steam_api64.lib yeah?

[subsoap]

Going to test it again now see if I can get more info out of it.

Got it to run, was a dll/lib issue

I'll work on this more this weekend, made a pull request to fix the windows issues. Windows builds need those dlls in the same folder as the game.project file. The batch file needs to be fixed too.
