From a23a133dff7bfd2e94fb0c901da8c5a3f476412e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: varGeneric <16168572+varGeneric@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sun, 12 Mar 2023 19:41:15 -0400 Subject: Add section on setting an alternate Steam launch option to basic setup (#143) Instead of adding a non-Steam game or switching command line parameters, Steam can be configured to prompt for a launch configuration every time. This adds instructions on achieving that with SteamEdit. --- docs/images/steamedit-addnew.png | Bin 0 -> 22685 bytes docs/images/steamedit-editlaunch.png | Bin 0 -> 16691 bytes docs/images/steamedit-launcheditor.png | Bin 0 -> 32512 bytes docs/images/steamedit-launchoption.png | Bin 0 -> 654527 bytes docs/images/steamedit-matchworkingdirectory.png | Bin 0 -> 7633 bytes docs/images/steamedit-saveandrefresh.png | Bin 0 -> 17023 bytes docs/images/steamedit-select-titanfall2.png | Bin 0 -> 22043 bytes docs/installing-northstar/basic-setup.md | 28 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 28 insertions(+) create mode 100644 docs/images/steamedit-addnew.png create mode 100644 docs/images/steamedit-editlaunch.png create mode 100644 docs/images/steamedit-launcheditor.png create mode 100644 docs/images/steamedit-launchoption.png create mode 100644 docs/images/steamedit-matchworkingdirectory.png create mode 100644 docs/images/steamedit-saveandrefresh.png create mode 100644 docs/images/steamedit-select-titanfall2.png diff --git a/docs/images/steamedit-addnew.png b/docs/images/steamedit-addnew.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..2836f62 Binary files /dev/null and b/docs/images/steamedit-addnew.png differ diff --git a/docs/images/steamedit-editlaunch.png b/docs/images/steamedit-editlaunch.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c607cf7 Binary files /dev/null and b/docs/images/steamedit-editlaunch.png differ diff --git a/docs/images/steamedit-launcheditor.png b/docs/images/steamedit-launcheditor.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f878e70 Binary files /dev/null and b/docs/images/steamedit-launcheditor.png differ diff --git a/docs/images/steamedit-launchoption.png b/docs/images/steamedit-launchoption.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c26267a Binary files /dev/null and b/docs/images/steamedit-launchoption.png differ diff --git a/docs/images/steamedit-matchworkingdirectory.png b/docs/images/steamedit-matchworkingdirectory.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..4ca90c9 Binary files /dev/null and b/docs/images/steamedit-matchworkingdirectory.png differ diff --git a/docs/images/steamedit-saveandrefresh.png b/docs/images/steamedit-saveandrefresh.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..96ffcee Binary files /dev/null and b/docs/images/steamedit-saveandrefresh.png differ diff --git a/docs/images/steamedit-select-titanfall2.png b/docs/images/steamedit-select-titanfall2.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..cc446b9 Binary files /dev/null and b/docs/images/steamedit-select-titanfall2.png differ diff --git a/docs/installing-northstar/basic-setup.md b/docs/installing-northstar/basic-setup.md index 91e268c..eec2948 100644 --- a/docs/installing-northstar/basic-setup.md +++ b/docs/installing-northstar/basic-setup.md @@ -34,6 +34,34 @@ Northstar can also be launched through Steam or Origin using the "add a game" fe ![steamaddgame](../images/steam-addgame.png) ![originaddgame](../images/origin-addgame.png) +### Adding Alternate Launch Option for Steam + +Steam can be configured to prompt for starting either Northstar or vanilla when Titanfall 2 is launched.
