Make Luxtorpeda download required Steam files

Jpxe commented 1 year ago

Feature Request

As asked by this user: https://github.com/luxtorpeda-dev/packages/issues/994#issuecomment-1712529072

This feature would allow Luxtorpeda to download Steam files and runtimes if an engine requires them. Such as:

Source SDK 2013 Singleplayer
Steam Linux Runtime v1
Steam Linux Runtime v2
Steam Linux Runtime v3

Could also potentially be used for more requirements like:

Requires Half-Life 2 Episode 1 to be installed.
Requires Half-Life 2 Episode 2 to be installed.
Enemy Territory: Quake Wars Demo - Download the linux demo manually, run and follow the steps, then copy the files to demo/ inside the steam installed

Solution

Potential: Luxtorpeda checks if a user has the necessary Steam binaries and runtimes installed.
Luxtorpeda downloads the necessary files and then launches the engine

Additional Context

I've tested this out a bit and installation is possible using either of these commands:

steam "steam://dev/console/ +app_install <AppID>" - will download directly and in the background. Works even when user doesn't have console enabled. Does nothing if it's already installed.
steam steam://install/<AppID> - will prompt user and ask if they want to install. If already installed: does nothing

when paused

Can you try this build? https://github.com/luxtorpeda-dev/luxtorpeda/actions/runs/6314729294

I believe the issue was when you first start, it wasn't checking the fullyinstalled flag, like it does when it asks for the install, so that should fix your issue. Thanks!

The install command doesn't seem to work when the download is paused. But other than that it no longer crashes and when I manually resumed to download it waited until it downloaded and launches the game. So I'd say it's good enough for merging if you feel happy with it. Thanks for implementing it!

Ok great, yeah there probably isn't anything I can do about it being paused, but at least now it'll act correctly.

Thanks! I'll merge this in soon and create a release. Thanks alot for all the help in testing!
