Thank you Michael!

Features

✔️ Easily change ENet peer to Steam Peer

✔️ Use Steam Sockets (Low level like ENet).

✔️ GDExtension (Easy to add your project)

✔️ No dependency with GodotSteam, but demo uses GodotSteam to handle connections with lobbies (See lobbies tutorial in Godot Steam here).

GodotSteam SteamMultiplayerPeer Differences

Differences This SteamMultiplayerPeer GodotSteam SteamMultiplayerPeer
Lib Type GDExtension, easy to add through the asset library. C++ module, requires precompiled Godot version
from GodotSteam, or compile yourself
Steam Connection Steam Sockets Steam Docs
Steam's lowest connection level,
manages a connection
(It's very close to Enet,
that's why I chose this approach for the plugin)
Steam Messages Steam Docs
Without a connection idea,
the connection is managed by the lobby,
Need Steam lobbies.
TODO

Known issues

⚠️ No channel support currently

  • It's been concluded that it's a limitation of the socket system, I'll take it out of the plan for now. See issue (#2)
