Open source `steamclient.dll` replacement in C++

argonx

Open source steamclient.dll / steamclient.so replacement.

Built on the work done by SteamKit2 and Steam++. However aiming for a different goal - binary interoperability with what already exists.

Building:

Requires libzmq, libprotobuf, libcrypto++, libarchive, libpthread

git clone https://github.com/emily33901/argonx.git
git submodule update --init --recursive

cd argonx
chmod +x tools/patch-externals.sh
tools/patch-externals.sh

./make.sh

Caution:

argonx relys some very specific implementation defined behaviour (Like assuming what register this gets passed in and the structure of virtual call thunks which are generated by the compiler).

I personally use clang-7 on linux and msvc-v142 on windows. Not compiling with either of these may result in very hard to find segfaults. A proper testing mechanism will be set with ci in the future. (Recently upgraded to v142 as the result of bad codegen in v141 in Buffer)

argonx's Issues

Binary Release?

Would be very useful if you could provide a release to a precompiled binary with exported functions 🥺

Compile Error

Hi, i get this little error

Use an actual logging framework

More robust usage of 0mq

Since 0mq is being used it should make more sense to more closely follow the model that they are presenting for socket usage instead of just using a single pair per client.

Router/Dealer can be used to replace our exclusive pair shenanigans that takes place and provides more flexibility in doing so. Only one socket would be needed for the server to bind to and for clients to connect to making things much cheaper - new clients can be tracked by when their identifier appears for the first time to the router and hearbeats until they disconnect (similar to what we have right now).
