philipk / boilr Goto Github PK

Since the Steam Deck comes with Flathub enabled and Discover pre-installed, It would be really nice to have the GUI build of BoilR available on Flathub.

While updating the AUR package I noticed that the latest version introduced a failing test.
The changelog of 0.9.15 indicates that there where indeed changes to the EGS shortcuts
Fix issue where duplicated shortcuts could be added for Epic Games.

error: test failed, to rerun pass '--bin boilr'

Not sure if this would even be possible, but it could be very useful to put "epic games" in a steam library catagory named "epic" automagically!

I’m an absolute beginner with Linux so this is probably obvious but: I got my Steam Deck today. Downloaded and installed Heroic games launcher and downloaded a couple of games from Epic (intend to also use gog). Ran the UI variant of BoilR and it synced (found a spelling error here, the UI says “synched”). Games show up in Steam but doesn’t launch when I hit play. What am I missing?

When multiple users are present on the machine it will pick the user with the lowest user ID and add the games to that account.
I don't see a way to specify a user, so I'm assuming this functionality doesn't exist.

I'm using it on Steam Deck, but you can test it on steamOS and Big Picture on Windows also has a multi user mode if I remember correctly.

I can't see the bottom of the application on the Deck's native resolution, 1280x800. Maybe add a scroll bar or something?

If Origin gets installed through proton, BoilR does not find the installed games.

You can manually change the name of a game to its AppID which allows access to community gamepad configs. You can then save one config as your own and then rename it back to its original name. Is it possible to automate that process and incorporate it into that tool?

(First issue i ever reported so sorry if it's gonna be a bit chaotic)

Version used: v0.9.0
Tested on: Steam Deck - SteamOS3

Upon running the "linux_BoilR" binary in Konsole, after allowing it to be executable, i got the following output:

Found 1 user(s)
Found 25 shortcuts for user: /home/deck/.steam/steam/userdata/--------- (edited out my user number)
thread 'main' panicked at 'called Result::unwrap() on an Err value: Utf8Error { valid_up_to: 33, error_len: Some(1) }', src/itch/butler_db_parser.rs:33:55
note: run with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 environment variable to display a backtrace

I do get the same output when running "linux_ui_BoilR" too. The settings were set up like i did on my Arch install where it worked seemingly as supposed to be.

Googling the error message didn't get me far as I'm neither versed in rust and installing packages manually on steamOS is advised against due to the nature of updates having the possibilty to undo packages that may be installed manually via pacman on SteamOS.

If Uplay gets installed through proton, then BoilR cannot find the games.

Make an integration to GoG Galaxy

Two possible ways:

1. Look at uninstallers in the registry database
2. look at default install folders and parse the GoG database for those folders

Steamdeck, Heroic/Flatpack/Epic, BoilR v.0.9.22 using SteamGrid api key

The images downloaded for the shortcuts in the small library on the left are the incorrect aspect ratio.

Also some things like Emulators have automatically picked up artwork for the banner/large icons but have no icon for the small library (e.g. Dolphin in my screenshot)

Downloaded rocket league on heroic and when launching it from desktop mode seemed to work fine. However, when boilr made a launch app for it within steam, it would not launch. It would look like its launching for a second then revert back to steam library. Within the boilr UI, legendary and heroic are checked if that matters. Boilr for itch.io games works perfect though so thanks for that.

I've tried BoilR on "Cities: Skylines" and "A Plague Tale: Innocence"

Cities: https://www.steamgriddb.com/game/3192
A Plague Tale: Innocence: https://www.steamgriddb.com/game/23490

Looking at the images below, it seems the icons steamgriddb is calling "Client Icons" are not downloaded, but instead a wide image is chosen.
Also, it's not always the case that the hero image is downloaded, and when it is downloaded, it's not the image that is the default image, according to steamgriddb. Try clicking on the "View Original Steam Assets" button and see what steamgriddb thinks should be used

Set up a section in the configuration file (and the UI) that lets users select preferences for which images to download.
This could include image types, sizes and so on.

Games affected in my testcase: Underhero and HiveTime

For HiveTime a link to a non-existing file is being created: ~/.config/itch/apps/underhero/hive-time_linux_V1.2.x86_64
(The HiveTime executable isn't in the directory for the game Underhero)

This game shows up in steam as Underhero with a non-BoilR link to the non-existent executable.

For Underhero itself BoilR seems to grab the wrong executable and links to the "UnityPlayer_s.debug" file in the directory of the game (~/.config/itch/apps/underhero/Linux/)

This game shows up as Underhero as well with a normal BoilR link.

I reran BoilR several times after deleting the entries from steam itself a few times as well, deleted cache.json once (just in case it could have been interfering with it and to force a new scraping of the artwork)

This might not even be possible, but it is worth a shot.

Hi there,

Great software, it can be even better if you could implement few more things.

1. The old size steam grid is still being used on steam (its last game you played) If you could also add that image as well that would be great.
2. Let me pick and choose what games to be added. I love that it can detect all games that I own on my account and adds them (at least for Origin). More option the better.
3. Let me choose which pick to use for my grid, hero, icon etc...
4. If there is an official version of the game exist on Steam Store, give us option to download it and use those pictures (steamdb information page of each game is a great place to get those pics)

This might be a lot, but it will help greatly.
Thank you for your effort.

Currently the Origin integration simply sets the "launch" parameter to the origin launch url.
To make this work on linux, it needs to call proton give it the origin exe and then give that the url instead.

Using Windows GUI version, I'm getting this message in the command-prompt: "Setting for platform Lutris are invalid, reason: program not found"

I'm not sure if it has any tangible effect, but I'm unable to disable Lutris in the GUI, in order to make the error-message disappear

The readme mentions that Heroic is supported but the config examples don't show what needs to be added and the GUI doesn't show it as an option. Are there instructions on how to do that?

(I am using Heroic installed via Discover/flatplack on Steam Deck)

Every time Bolir is ran, it creates duplicates of itch.io games that are already in the library.

Firstly thanks for creating such a great application

Using GUI version and it never seems to complete.
If I click on the GUI once it begins it locks up

I had a .DS_STORE file in my /Steam/userdata/ folder, and BoilR was crashing until I deleted it manually. BoilR should ignore .DS_STORE files, because it's normal for macOS to generate those.

After clicking synchronize it's stuck on searching for game images. It picks already existing non Steam games on Steam (all of them are in log) and then it hangs.

This is what the console outputs when running the script.

UI doesn't seem to work: When compiling with the UI feature it complains about a libfltk file not being compatible with the arm64 architecture (Apple Silicon). Running cargo update doesn't fix this. It might be that I need to install some dependencies before trying to build locally.

Any chance we could also get macOS binaries for BoilR?

I use Game Backup Monitor as the launcher for my games. Especially useful for older games. Would it be possible to add game importing from GBM to Steam?

Hi,

Because SteamDeck's root filesystem is r/o and get's overwritten every upgrade, its encouraged that everything installed outside of SteamStore be provided as FlatPaks (there's 'Discover' already in 'desktop mode' pinned to taskbar for easy installation)

I don't want Heroic, which is nearly 500MB BloatWare (in comparison to your's 5MB client)

Some games frail to launch when starting them from steam.
They simply state that you must "please launch form the epic launchers" and then crash.

The assumed solution is to launch the game using an epic uri:
com.epicgames.launcher://apps/b671fbc7be424e888c9346a9a6d3d9db%3A38c07a09dc174b69b756aa51890c3dd4%3ASalt?action=launch&silent=true

The uri can be put together from the manifest files that are in:
C:\ProgramData\Epic\EpicGamesLauncher\Data\Manifests

The current problem is that it is unknown how to distinguish these games from the others.
"Kingdom Hearts" and "Final Fantasy VII Remake Integrade" have been reproted to be problematic here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/rocj1c/gog/hq4bpb2/?context=8&depth=9

There's also fulll-featured "Rare" client:
https://github.com/Dummerle/Rare

It's uses Qt and takes 5MB on HDD (vs 480M for Heroic bloatware)

Hi so I have an issue with getting GOG Galaxy to work through Lutris, it just doesn't want to launch at all. But there is this launcher called MiniGalaxy that works wonders installing native Linux games even if they don't work with any other option like Lutris(At least Hyper Light Drifter only works for me on the steam deck with minigalaxy)

So adding support for mini galaxy would be amazing as it sadly doesn't add shotcuts to the start menu or anything.

v.0.9.24 - windows ui
With Steam (Steam Client Service) stopped / shut down, I'm unable to write collections

I'm finding it hard what other information I can provide to help figure out what could be the underlying issue

Add support for finding GoG games installed using heroic.

v.0.9.24 - Windows UI

This new version where icons are preferred to BigPicture is nice! 👍

But, I keep having problems with icons for games from itch

None of the games from itch have their icons downloaded.

Instead of assuming the path of epic game store it can be found in the windows registry here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Epic Games\EpicGamesLauncher AppDataPath

Hi! Just found this awesome tool. I have a couple of emulated Wii games in my Steam library, and BoilR seems to get stuck on not being able to find images on them (or something, the command line output doesn't tell me what it's doing past "searching"). Am I doing something wrong?

This might well just be a limitation of Steam or whatever method you are using to add shortcuts to it, but it would be cool if you could some how refresh the Steam library after syncing without having to exit and re-open Steam.

Feel free to close if this isn't possible.

Using v.0.9.22 of BoilR

Some games seem to be creating two shortcuts. Others are not.

I deleted all the shortcuts created by previous runs. Ran UI sync. Restarted Steam.

Hades and Rocket Legue created 2 shortcuts.
Chicory, Horace, PikuNiku and Superbrothers Sword and Sworcery just created 1.

Interestingly A Short Hike was creating 2 shortcuts. I uninstalled it through Heroic, deleted both shortcuts and then ran BoilR again and it has created just one shortcut. The shortcut points to /home/deck/games/Heroic/AShortHike/AShortHike.exe but I browsed to that directory and that .exe doesn't exist. There is a file AShortHike.dxvk-cache in there but that's it.

Show synchronization progress in the UI

hey! thanks for building this, i'm getting 'no images needed' and no images in the steam, is there anything i need to change?
the games definitely exist on steamgriddb (eg snowrunner, hades, & battlefield v)

Checking for game images
No images needed```

CI scripts need to be updated. They should compile for both aarch64-apple-darwin and x86_64-apple-darwin on a macos-latest machine.

It is possilbe to set a wide grid image that will be used by steam when you hover over an image or it is in the "recently used" games.

The image must simply be named 2975066107.png where the normal grid image is named 2975066107p.png and the hero is named 2975066107_hero.png .

It is possible to search for that specific image size on steamgrid db.

Downloading and searching can be done in parallel (since they are async), but it should be done in batches to not spam SteamGridDB.

The current UI is hard to parse and does not scale with more and more platforms being added.
