= 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. = Content = * 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!
