Modules
  • ▲ current state
  • + implemented
  • - in development
  • X deprecated or too hard to implement
▲ name description
+ steam.applist Let you detect installed apps.
+ steam.apps Exposes a wide range of information and actions for applications and DLC.
X steam.appticket Interface to get app ownership data. (This should never be needed in most cases)
X steam.client Interface to create a new steam instance or to connect to an existing steam instance, whether it's in a different process or is local. "In most scenarios this is all handled automatically via SteamAPI_Init. You'll only ever need to use these APIs if you have a more complex versioning scheme, or if you want to implement a multiplexed gameserver where a single process is handling multiple games at once with independent gameserver Steam IDs" (too hard to implement multi-threading in lua-apps)
+ steam.controller Steam Controller support API.
+ steam.friends Interface to access information about individual users and interact with the Steam Overlay.
X steam.gamecoordinator Functions for sending and receiving messages from the Game Coordinator. (this is largely deprecated, and only continues to exist for the couple games that still use this., use matchmaking/matchmakingservers instead)
