[ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override (v1.1, 2016-06-17)
 

Description:
Since [TF2] SteamTools Game Description Override plugin uses SteamTools, which only officially supports TF2, I figured I'd go ahead and modify it so that it uses the SteamWorks Extension to change the game description.

Please use responsibly.

Cvars:
sw_gamedesc_override_version - Plugin Version
sw_gamedesc_override - Change this cvar to your desired game description (to reset, simply change it back to the default, such as "Team Fortress")

Installation:
Put sw_gamedesc_override.smx into /addons/sourcemod/plugins and reboot your server or type "sm plugins load sw_gamedesc_override" into your console or rcon.

Requirements:
This plugin requires SteamWorks.

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override
 

Is there any downsides of changing the game description?

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override
 

Not That I know of.

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override
 

Nope.

Do be aware that some plugins (particularly game mode plugins) will set the game description on their own.

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override
 

Hey, whats the process of getting a plugin approved, I have followed all the guidelines in the Sticky, and I have marked For Review.

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override
 

Plugin Approvers have a plugin on their private server which randomly pick New plugins, once they are picked a GetRandomInt(0,1337) is used. The number is used in a game of nuclear dawn, against real players. If the number picked ever comes up then you are automatically approved. It's a waiting game really. Depending on the approver depends on the game.

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override
 

The review queue still has a few plugins from 2010 in it and a LOT from 2012-2013. You posted this plugin 2 days ago.

Unless you've just taken over an existing plugin whose author abandoned it, your chances of the plugin getting approved any time soon is extremely slim.

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override
 

I think this was dr.mckay's old-already-approved plugin that changed a few lines to use SteamWorks instead. (removed updater also)

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override
 

I see

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override
 

already installed " SteamWorks"
but still failed
Load erroe: Required extension "SteamWorks" file("SteamWorks.ext") not running

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override
 

That's not my plugin, you have to install SteamWorks correctly.

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override
 

Nice and simple.
The include folder is called "include" instead of "includes" by the way ;)
You don't need to include the include files of dependencies at all. Just risks being outdated.

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override
 

Done!

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override
 

Attempted to use it on cs:go, all plugins loaded but the game description did not change.

Running SourceMod 1.6.1, SteamWorks Extension (1.1) and the 0.1 version of this plugin.

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override
 

Any error logs?

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override
 

Negative, nothing seems to be wrong factually, I've checked the cvar in-game and that was fine as well (as in it had the name that I've set it to). Forgot to say also that I am running windows

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override
 

I'll launch my CSGO server to check this out. Also, are you using SteamWorks extension from the Original Post, or did you use another build.

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override
 

Using GoD-Tony's compile since the main post doesn't have a windows compile.

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override
 

Been using it on CS:GO since it was released and it works fine, also using that steamworks compilation

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override
 

So for some reason on csgo, the plugin would not change the game description unless you changed the cvar ingame, which was inconvenient, so I decided to make a small fix. All it really does is request the cvar value on OnConfigsExecuted() and set it, to make sure the name you set up on gameservers_[gamemode].cfg or on server.cfg will be indeed read.

If you want to compile it yourself, obviously requires steamworks.

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override
 

still not workin' for my csgo server

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override
 

what exactly does this allow you to change? the info listed for the server like round limit? team collision? or just the type of game mode?

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override
 

The information you see when clicking server description, I guess?

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override
 

What is up with CS:GO not working? It's Engine is Too Confusing.

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override
 

ha-ha im just used: sm_rcon sm_cvar sw_gamedesc_override name

this changes my description from client console, and from server.cfg (gamemod_server.cfg) and any.

works fine all time :)

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override (v1.0, 2014-12-07)
 

It doesn't work for me in CSGO.

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override (v1.0, 2014-12-07)
 

Try my method, just put this line to your server.cfg
And the one question, do you have installed latest SteamWorks extension for this?

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override (v1.0, 2014-12-07)
 

Yeah it's working after last SteamWorks update. Thanks :)

Why?

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override (v1.1, 2016-06-17)
 

Hello

You know what change we can do to make the plugins work for csgo?

I the tried with the latest SM - dev and the latest METAMOD DEV

Thanks in advance.

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override (v1.1, 2016-06-17)
 

Hello,

I would like to customize the description of my server and I am not successful with the latest version of sourcemod, metamod and steamworks.

Do you have a solution to offer me?

Thank you in advance for the time you take to help us.

cordially

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override (v1.1, 2016-06-17)
 

I've added line sw_gamedesc_override "Dust2 Only" line in autoexec.cfg on my CS:S linux server but everytime I restart server the Game Description changes to its default (Counter Strike:Source).

So is there any way to keep a custom Game Description after the server restart? Or I have to type sw_gamedesc_override "Dust2 Only" everytime in the console after the server was restarted?

Kind regards.

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override (v1.1, 2016-06-17)
 

Put it in server.cfg as it has to run after SourceMod and the SteamWorks Extension are loaded.

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override (v1.1, 2016-06-17)
 

Thank you! :bacon!:

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override (v1.1, 2016-06-17)
 

It does not work on CSGO.

How do i fix the sp file ?

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override (v1.1, 2016-06-17)
 

I've been using this plugin for years, thanks so much! One issue I have recently come across surfaced when I moved to my new server. I am running two servers from the same directory, and it seems only one server will get the description override. Is this a limitation with steamworks? Maybe the extension file can only be used by one instance at a time?

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override (v1.1, 2016-06-17)
 

Where should SteamWorks be installed? [Road to folder]

Re: [ANY] SteamWorks Game Description Override (v1.1, 2016-06-17)
 

Follow the thread that has it. It explains in detail.
