Interface | Notes |
---|---|
ISteamGameServer | Would be nice to the ability to have a single game server within the plugin. |
ISteamGameServerStats | Would be the next step after ISteamGameServer. |
ISteamMatchmakingServers | Follows in the same line as ISteamGameServer. |
ISteamNetworking | Needed for P2P multiplayer. |
ISteamNetworkingSockets | ? |
ISteamNetworkingUtils | ? |
ISteamParties | ? |
ISteamRemotePlay | ? |
ISteamUGC | Steam Workshop. This is a pretty specialized and involved interface. |
steam_gameserver.h | Also part of adding ISteamGameServer functionality. |
Will not be implemented
Interface | Reason |
---|---|
ISteamAppList | This is a restricted interface that can only be used by approved apps.The only command this plugin has from this interface is GetAppName. It is demonstrated in the Friends List example since SpaceWar (appid 480) is an app approved for this interface. |
ISteamAppTicket | Docs say this should never be needed in most cases. |
ISteamClient | Docs say this is only needed if the app has a more complex versioning scheme, or if it implements a multiplexed gameserver where a single process is handling multiple games at once with independent gameserver Steam IDs. |
ISteamGameCoordinator | Deprecated. |
ISteamHTMLSurface | This is a pretty specialized and involved interface. Will look into it only if requested. |
ISteamHTTP | This is a pretty specialized and involved interface. Will look into it only if requested. |
ISteamInventory | This is a pretty specialized and involved interface. Will look into it only if requested. |
ISteamMusicRemote | This is pretty specialized and more involved than ISteamMusic. Will look into it only if requested. |
ISteamUnifiedMessages | Deprecated. |
ISteamVideo | This is a pretty specialized and involved interface. Will look into it only if requested. |
SteamEncryptedAppTicket | This is too specialized and involved. |
