Hi guys,
I have written a multi-user, 2 x part Steam Account manager and the only fly in the ointment is the login to steam.
I am aware of (and currently use) the command line launcher - but even with the new "securer" email method (finally implemented by Valve) I'm loathe to let passwords free to the "wild".
If anyone can help I would appreciate it.
I write mostly in VS C++ (client PC application part) plus I have used on the web site part:- Apache, MySQL, PHP, SSL, HTTP.
I have just made the finishing touches to a final class that shuts down Steam (and it's applications) "nicely" - prior to swapping to another account.
I will also post some screen shots if there is any interest!
Basically an SSL website allows users to login and register their accounts/games (I have a few kids with about 12 x Steam accounts in all).
A Win32 executable (client/server) is then downloaded.
The (self updating) exe also accesses the SSL Site and allows account information to be downloaded and stored on a local PC.
Additionally, this exe is used to kick off any of the many accounts and games - it will stop and start Steam as required.
It's almost like a net cafe
cheers
