STEAM - TIN MASTER SERVER EMULATOR
Here is a STEAM master server emulator with custom client. Perhaps lots of you guys know this emulator, but there are people who is not. So please dont be a troll about it, it is a good tool usable for VPNs and LAN.
Now people you must to know some things before we begin:
0. All credit goes to steamCooker for the server, and for machine 4578 for cream api. I just repacked the whole thing, but you will need to setup yours.
1. There is NO SOURCE. (never will be most propably. But it can be used for private uses) if you are not intrested if no source then close this thread and go away, useless to make complaints about it.
2. NO, YOU WONT ABLE to download games from original steam with this it is not what is ment for! This is an independent system. it is not what this program is ment for. YOU need to get your games. You can add subscriptions but they will most likely not work. You will neeed a wrapper for it(its in the tools folder called cream api) all this api does that you can play multiplayer thru vpn/public if everyone has the SAME version game as yours.
After you setup your client(Download and edited your IP in INI files) you can send the client folder to other people to join to your server.
3. There are features missing(EG: voice chat, sharing, detailed achievements ect.)
4. This program works like the original steam(Uses chat, invitations, achivements, matchmaking, steam overlay, groupchat, picture sending, clan and team management, and ingame web browser as the original, it also stores remote saves for games.)
5. This is not a simple system to use, it uses sqlite3, and for the first start you will need to make a free steam account, for the first update and for the database. After that YOU WONT NEED ANY STEAM ACCOUNT FOR FURTHER USAGE JUST THIS ONCE AT THE FIRST INSTALL! only if you want to update your server/db/client, but it is not mandatory after this. it just grabs the client and some files that this thing is needed. It uses original client but with an own hooks to redirect it to your own servers, so basicly your client will not even work if the tin server is not running, and also the client gets the update from your emulator server
not from valve.After you start the server itself it will obtain all licence keys and manifests from the servers, when it is finished the emulator will be about at 1GB size. It will grab all appid and data from games from steam that it is required and mandatory for it.
6. You can add somehow your own content to be downloadable thru your steam server, but it is a hard thing to do. I was not able to do.
7. Absolutely no support for it beside the howto install.txt in the archives.
8. All tutorials experiences are welcome here, but keep in mind every game is different.
9. DONT ASK HELP ABOUT MAKING A 'X' or 'Y' GAME WORK WITH THIS! THIS IS NOT A WAREZ FORUM! IF YOU ASK FOR CRACKED CONTENT I WILL IMMIDIATELY REPORT YOU AND ASK FOR A BAN FROM THE MODS!
10. The wrapper itself has a good detailed file how to setup the games refer with that or with google! Just dont do it here.
11. STRONGLY Discourage anyone to use this as a public service! Its for private gaming.
12. IF someone will report the link i will upload and upload and upload to more and more places. OR i will make a torrent from it so i dont advice it, Dont push me people!
13. There is a TOOLS folder, check up for further programs there too.
14. Also you need to add your games as NON steam games. The network will kick in after you start the game itself. Dont worry. It works, but you cannot use them as original games, all api will run under APPID 480, or edit cream api to use some other free game ID... check on steam appid db...
15. DONT USE IT AS PARALELL OF THE ORIGINAL STEAM AND DONT USE YOUR REGULAR PASSWORDS/USERNAMES! CLOSE EVERY STEAM APP BEFORE YOU USING THIS(Close all client bootstrapper too in your machine, in the background)
16. THIS WHOLE THING WILL NOT WORK WITH GAMES LIKE MMORPGS, OR WITH EA GAMES UPLAY SERVICES, OR GAMES THAT USES HIS OWN NETWORKING, ITS ONLY WORKS WITH STEAM BASED MATCHMAKING GAMES!
EDIT YOUR PICSdownloader.ini FILE BEFORE USAGE;
And as always: There are not all games are compatible wit this, so some will work, some are not. Life is though. Get over it. Also, i am not taking any responsibility for the harm may comes to you if you use this. Use at your own risk!(Also i dont accept PMs anymore so dont even bother.)
As for how to setup there is a TXT file in the archives, so read and use your common sense about it!
NOTE: You will need 80 and 443 ports for use this, as it supports other ports but somehow it does not works with the redirected ports. so you need 80, and 443... Also the games might need some other port forwarding if you are on a NAT router.
BY DEFAULT THE FRIEND SYSTEM IS AUTO ADDING EVERY NEW MEMBERS TO EVERYONE'S FRIENDLIST, THIS CAN BE TURNED OFF IF YOU WANT!
