Installation

To add this plugin project to your game, follow the instructions in the Flax Engine documentation for adding a plugin project automatically using git or manually.

Setup

The settings are auto created for you in the Content/Settings folder. You can open them and change the AppID to your Steam AppID.

Excluding the plugin

To exclude the library and the plugin code from your build, you can add EXCLUDE_STEAMWORKS to the list of custom defines in the build settings or the game cooker.

You can add code similar to this in your Game.Build.cs file under the Setup method.

if (!Configuration.CustomDefines.Contains("EXCLUDE_STEAMWORKS"))
{
    options.PublicDependencies.Add("FacepunchSteamworks");
    options.ScriptingAPI.Defines.Add("EXCLUDE_STEAMWORKS");
}

This will exclude the plugin and add a preprocessor definition that you can wrap your API calls in using #if !EXCLUDE_STEAMWORKS.
