Hi @Lettly.
This feature would be a nice implementation to SteamSpeak core, since it will act like discord's one. It could be achieved by adding new authentication methods on the frontend.
But the main thing is how do we prioritize each platform game_state status. Because one client can have Steam and Epic game's client launched at the same time.
Thanks for your great idea 😄 I will put this feature into the v2.0.0 milestone.
Hi @Lettly.
I will add few small new features until 1.0 version gets released, like showing in ts3 which steam game are you playing.
I have great ideas for the 2.0 version, like integrating an electron based desktop app that send your games events to your hosted SteamSpeak app. SteamSpeak will display this info in your nickname, like now does, but supporting more game platforms.
Do you like this idea?
This could be done, but remember that users are very often unwilling to download an application.
It whould be an open source application.
I know. But users aren't worried about their security, at least most of them, they are lazy.
Hi @Lettly. I've been searching and Overwolf integration would be neat for this feature... What do you think?
It might work. but as far as I have observed, only 15-20% of people who use ts have installed overwolf
@Lettly the only thing is that people should install overwolf ln their computers. Of course, we loose privacy. But instead we get custom events for un supported Games, like valorant...
🚀 Feature
Add supports to other platforms besides steam
Have you read the Contributing Guidelines on issues?
Yes
Motivation
It would be very convenient to have support for other platforms besides steam.
Pitch
This function would be very convenient to have. Lately the pc video game market has fragmented in many launchers. It would be convenient to have the opportunity to see the games played by people even outside of steam. Some starting points for implementation could be:
Battle.net
EpicGames
Riot
EA beinga nice company, of course, it doesn't release api
Uplay doesn't release api either
I know it is not an easy operation. I can only imagine how much work it takes to implement support for another launcher. I wanted to thank you for the passion and time you spent on this project.
