A set of simple tools for working with Steam installs

This project has been discontinued in favour of bltool. Please use that instead.

steamtools's Issues

Couldn't read Steam directory: Couldn't determine last logged in user from steam.log.

Unfortunately I'm no longer able to use this tool as it fails to detect my Steam user, even when I manually enter it.
Is this a known issue?

steam2backloggery error

Hi! No idea what the best way to submit this error was, so sticking it on here and in the SA backloggery thread too. When I try to run your steam tool, I get the following error. I'm running windows 8 x64, with UAC disabled:

C:\steamtools>steam2backloggery.exe
Steam location (drag-and drop steam.exe): h:\steam\steam.exe
Found Steam account STEAM_0:1:6233620 (iviv66)

Backloggery username: iviv
Backloggery password: **********
Logged in to Backloggery as iviv.

Steam2Backloggery does not support steam setups with multiple users

The machine I'm using has 2 steam accounts logged in regularly. Steam2Backloggery only ever finds one of them, and always the same one.

Error!

Well, since the executable asked me to do this, I'll report the error =)
Every time I try to use both categories.lua, steam2backloggery.lua and steam2backloggery.exe I get this error:

Additional information: Using Windows 8, tried all compatibility modes and with administrator privileges. Same error. txt2backloggery.lua apparently works fine. Steam is not online.

Steam directory: C:\Steam\steam.exe

Error: Bad Argument #1 to 'find' (string expected, got table).

Troubleshooting an issue for a friend here.
His steam install is on a 64-bit version of Windows 7, and it sits in 'c:\program files (x86)\steam'.

Each time he runs steam2backloggery.exe, he can drop the executable on the window, enter his backloggery user and password, and a few seconds after pressing enter on the password, he gets the following error:

I was able to run the same application from my test rig, running Windows 8 Pro x64, with the application sitting in a very non-standard path as it was just plain copied from my backup.

I took the liberty of checking the entire thing out from github again and pushing the file to him for testing, but even with that, he gets this same error each time.
