SmokinGuns/Steam

+= Introduction =
+In this wiki, we will add Smokin' Guns into Steam as a non-steam game entry on Linux. I'll use in this case a machine running a x86_64 system.
+On Windows, linking the .exe is straightforward but Linux requires the game to have a .desktop file.
+

+* Why
+* Creating a Desktop file
+* Adding it to Steam
+
+== Why ==
+There are many reason for you that we may want to add SG in your non-steam games:
+* You want to add all your games in steam to have a nice representation of what you have in your machine
+* You want to show your friends that you are playing SG, is there actually a better way to do so?
+* You want to use the steam overlay while playing.
+
+== Creating a Desktop file ==
+Open any text editor and paste the content given below:
+{{{
+[Desktop Entry]
+Type=Application
+Name=Smokin' Guns
+Exec=/home/yourname/folder/of/smokinguns.x86_64
+Icon=/home/yourname/folder/of/sg_48.png
+}}}
+You may edit the Exec and Icon line to point to the {{{smokinguns.x86_64}}} executable (or .i386 if you are using a 32bit system) and {{{sg_48.png}}} icon file
+Then save what you did as {{{smokinguns.desktop}}} into the root folder of the game (in the example, it was {{{/home/yourname/folder/of/}}})
+
+== Adding it to Steam ==
+* Click on {{{+ ADD A GAME...}}} on the botton of the window on the Library section of Steam
+* Select {{{Add a Non-Steam Game...}}}
+* Click on {{{BROWSE...}}}
+* Go where you saved your {{{smokinguns.desktop}}} file, select it and click {{{OPEN}}}
+* Then click on {{{ADD SELECTED PROGRAMS}}}
+That's all!
