Errors running main.py and installer.sh

[JustTemmie]

something you can try to do is changing the folder name to something else, as it might be conflicting with the installer - it's not really something i think thought about and that should honestly be changed

the installer looks for specifically "config.json", and not "exampleconfig.json"
unsure, but that might be your issue?

Hey, thanks for the reply. I did create a "config.json" file and filled in the information appropriately (at least to my understanding). I can attempt to look through the code too to see where I could have gone wrong, it might just take me a while because I haven't really coded in many years.

I actually figured out that a very basic form of "rich presence" works on Discord if you rename your running program to a game in their database. So earlier I renamed the Undertale program "runner" to UNDERTALE, and the heart showed up as the icon. Some games like Hacknet also show the icon by default. It also worked with Bloons TD 6 when I renamed the program on Discord. I guess the only downside to this method is that it won't show a dynamic rich presence, like how osu updates with what beatmap you're playing on Windows.

i mean the dynamic things aren't supported by this, as the steam API literally does not reveal any of the data, this is mostly made so that niche games work.

for the config.json file, where is the installer.sh and the rest of the files located? cause the script tries to install them to the $HOME/steam-presence directory, which might not work if you're already in that folder? i'm honestly quite unsure.

i would believe the steam api key is experiencing the same problem, aka the script is just reading the exampleconfig.json and therefore reading the steam key as "STEAM_API_KEY", and therefore not working.

Right, I totally follow with that. That's why I'm interested in this project, it would be cool to have custom icons with niche games that I play.

All the files are in my $HOME/steam-presence folder. I'm rather new to git too, so I might be doing some beginner mistake that's easy to overlook.

And ah, yeah that would make sense, later I can try to tinker with that some more, and I'll update/close this issue if I resolve it!
