FaGe's Steamworks.NET Extension for .NET 8+

As you can see, this project is aimed to extend modern features to Steamworks.NET on regular .NET projects that targeting to up to date framework.

Extended features list

• Allow get Steam API CallResult by await, achived by ToValueTask<T>() extension method series on SteamAPICall_t. These methods build on top of original CallResult<T> and can be accessed by using namespace FaGe.Steamworks.NET.Extensions. In current version, there are 2 variants.
  • Method ToValueTask<T>() is suitable for those call-results that don't considering cancellation. Example:

     var queryResult = await SteamUGC.SendQueryUGCRequest(queryHandle).ToValueTask<SteamUGCQueryCompleted_t>();

  • Method ToValueTaskWithCancellation<T>() returns a ValueTask<T> and carry out a CancellationTokenSource for cancellation, you can later cancel this operation by that CancellationTokenSource. Example:

     // do async operation
     var result = SteamUGC.SendQueryUGCRequest(queryHandle).ToValueTaskWithCancellation<SteamUGCQueryCompleted_t>(out var ctsInSomeField);
    
     // somewhere else that want to cancel
     ctsInSomeField.Cancel()

  • SteamAPICallException will thrown if call-result is failed.
• Spawn automatic steam callback dispatcher thread by SteamCallbackDispatch.Singleton.SpawnCallbackDispatchThread() method.
  • Stop the dispatcher thread by the returned CancellationTokenSource. SteamCallbackDispatch.Singleton.StopDispatchSource is also the same. Beware, once the thread is stopped, it can't be restarted.
  • Lived in namespace FaGe.Steamworks.NET.Extensions
• Wrap UgcQueryHandle_t for both query and result.
  • Create fluent query builder from methods in static class FaGe.Steamworks.NET.Extensions.Ugc.UgcQueryBuilders. Each factory method wraps a corresponding CreateQuery*UGCRequest().
    • Exception
      • UgcQueryBuildException: query operator is failed to apply.
    • If you want to abandon a query, you should call *UgcQueryBuilder.AbandonQuery() to release handle.
    • For now in the unit test project DetailsUgcQueryBuilder.FilterCloudFileName() will fail due to unknown reason, no corresponding IPC log found in steam console. Not sure if real application will fail too.
  • Once query built, call UgcQuery.Send() to get result wrapped in UgcQueryResult.
    • UgcQueryFailedException will thrown for failed query.
  • The UgcQueryResult is a collection of query result, each item is a UgcQueryResultItem. Methods like GetDetails() and GetTags() are used to retrieve information of a single UGC item. There are also some count properties.
