steamworkswinx64-withlogs

A modified version of steamworks.js with additional logging for Windows x64, including environment details, DLL loading, and Steam API initialization, and expanded P2P networking capabilities. This module enhances your Steamworks integration with detailed diagnostics and a new closeP2PSession API for seamless multiplayer session management, perfect for developers building robust Steam games. Written by Jonathan Fior at Innovative Bioresearch.

Features

• Enhanced Logging: Uses winapi to log the exact path of the loaded steam_api64.dll, along with environment details and Steam API initialization, to diagnose issues like [ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED] (e.g., Rust: Found steam_api64.dll at: "C:...\node_modules\steamworkswinx64-withlogs\dist\win64\steam_api64.dll", Rust: SteamAPI_Init succeeded).
• New P2P Session Control: Introduces closeP2PSession (new in v0.0.3), a custom export missing from steamworks.js, enabling seamless P2P session cleanup for buttery-smooth multiplayer. Powered by the Rust steamworks crate’s Networking::close_p2p_session.
• Windows x64 Only: Optimized exclusively for Windows x64, ensuring compatibility with steamworksjs.win32-x64-msvc.node and the customized steam_api64.dll.
• Pre-Built Binaries: Ships with all necessary files, including dist\win64\steam_api64.dll, steam_api64.lib, and steamworksjs.win32-x64-msvc.node, so no npm install is required for dependencies to use the module in your project.
• Rebuild Support: Includes source files (src, Cargo.toml, build.js, sdk/redistributable_bin) for users who want to rebuild the module using npm run build, though this is optional as pre-built binaries are provided.
• Steam Overlay Support: Retains electronEnableSteamOverlay for potential future use, though not currently recommended due to known issues (not enabled by default in example usage).
• Full Steamworks API: Provides access to all steamworks.js features, including achievements, matchmaking, networking, and more, as detailed in the steamworks.js documentation.

Installation

The module includes all required files for immediate use on Windows x64. No additional npm install is needed to use the module, as it includes pre-built binaries. The pre-built dist\win64 files (dist\win64\steam_api64.dll, dist\win64\steam_api64.lib, dist\win64\steamworksjs.win32-x64-msvc.node) ensure the module works immediately on Windows x64 without additional installations for runtime use. Build is also not needed.

To install in your project:

npm install steamworkswinx64-withlogs

Usage

const steamworks = require('steamworkswinx64-withlogs');

// Initialize Steamworks with your App ID
const steam = steamworks.init(XXXXXXX); // Replace with your Steam App ID

// Example: Unlock an achievement
steam.achievement.activate('ACH_TEST');
console.log('Activated achievement: ACH_TEST');
console.log('Achievement ACH_TEST status:', steam.achievement.isActivated('ACH_TEST') ? 'Unlocked' : 'Locked');

// Note: Avoid calling steamworks.electronEnableSteamOverlay() until overlay issues are resolved
