AUTOINSTALL.py usage

2 adding game configs

after you have made your config (configs\steampagegenerator.js) paste it in a folder of the games name (e.g. configs\Arma 3\cream_api.ini) next time you run this config will be available

3 troubleshooting

Errors:

Game does not appear in list at start

• make sure you have made a directory in autoinstall.py dir\configs\
• make sure this directory contains your config called cream_api.ini

Invalid game

• check you have copied the name exactly from this list of games printed

Invalid game directory

• check you have entered the correct directory (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3)
• check this directory contains steam_api.dll and steam_api64.dll

Cream api is already installed for this game

• check you have steam_api_o.dll and steam_api64_o.dll
• delete steam_api.dll and steam_api64.dll
• rename steam_api_o.dll to steam_api.dll and steam_api64_o.dll to steam_api64.dll
• next time you run install should work

Error installing creamapi

HOW TO without script

1. Go to base folder of game (steamapps\common<game>)
2. Rename steam_api.dll to steam_api_o.dll & steam_api64.dll to steam_api64_o.dll
3. Copy steam_api.dll & steam_api64.dll from this folder into that games folder
4. Copy your games config into the same folder you put steam_api.dll in E.g. for arma3 copy config from configs/arma3/ to steamapps/common/Arma 3/
5. Launch your game
