hi all,

I'm making a custom steam and I want to know if my question is possible:

add extra buttons such as: CTRL-ENTER or ALT-SHIFT
to open a ingame screen

Custom Steam?
Yikes!
You'd need to use an entirely new programming language. Fpi won't cut it here.

I reject your stereotype of Wisconsin and, in fact, live in a city.

The overlay has nothing to do with the game.. It's just a seperate program that interprets whether a game is running or not, and will overlap the game screen if a specific key combination is pressed.

Well it could.. I was just explaining that the Steam overlay is not programmed within the game itself, it's a standalone application. You could however modify the FPSC Source Code to interact with your third party software, and thus exchanging info you want displayed on your Steam-like screen.

Depends, you'll need to pull data from the Direct Draw surface of your game, and basically externally write to that, or grab a copy of it to use as your background for the app.. Unless you're going for a much simpler approach using a lame basic TopMost flag

why should I use my game for the overlay as visual studio makes it more easy and efficient to do. also if the game gets started the app opens a shortcut in the task bar so it could be opened every time the user wants

Suppose that would work, I was just assuming you wanted the overlay to work exactly like Steam. And I wouldn't call Visual Studio efficient.. Especially the latest versions, they're getting a bit hacky and tacky here and there, and using the latest .NET Framework is a bit annoying since 90% of the people don't have it installed yet.

ok but your not the only one
there are more people who also want source codes but who aren't that experienced.

To be fair, anyone scared of 400 lines on a form really needs to get into programming some more. I have a far from finished map editor here running over 5000 lines.. And that's just the core system.(Do note that the map rendering system can be plucked out and tossed into a game should I want to, I wrote it in a modular way )

And as for the English thing, it's generally appreciated that we speak English on these forums.

ye I think so XD

but 5000 is much but 400 isn't that much. I also added a few simple lines as comment lines. so it's not that big deal

Both. I know you said you were preparing it. I was wondering if you were doing the GUI work or fixing bugs. Perhaps adding your custom buttons into your version of steam.

Hmm. When I run it, and it finishes downloading. It just pops up a little message that states that is cannot be run. No idea why, I do have framework 4.0 and all the essentials installed.

Good that you are at least far in it, can't wait to see what you did. I love to code surf

I can probably help you out if you need it I code in VB.net and c# so don't know what you are using.

But on topic for some reason it just wont run. I have net frame word 4.0 installed and all that jaz.

Tested it. So far its coming along amazingly. I like the GUI system. Could use a little work, the system should be able to be stretched so the devs can put pictures and such on their description. I am digging the web browser feature. I am also enjoying the way you used the tab control. Few bugs here and there with the GUI but nothing you can't handle.

If you need any help or would just like another developer to help you finish things up faster. Send me an email at mstrncmndr@gmail.com I am always on my PC as I am currently setting some stuff up for a server. But I always have my email operational.
