-# GlosSI
-
-GlosSI or [Glo]bal ([s]ystemwide) [S]team [I]nput, formerly knows as GloSC (Global Steam Controller), is a tool that allows one to use Steam-Input controller rebinding at a system-level alongside a system wide (borderless window) Steam overlay
-All complete with **per application bindings and working rumble emulation.**
GlosSI can, but isn't required to, launch any of your favorite games or applications and directly add them to Steam, be it Win32 or Windows Store (UWP)!
It is **the tool** to enjoy any game that has trouble with Steam and/or *add extra functionality* to your Steam-Input needs
-*Windows Store*, *Reshade / SweetFX*, *Origin*, *Uplay*, *Emulators* and *more* with **no hassle**âĸ
-
---
## How does it work? / What does it do?
-GlosSI creates and adds a (or multiple) non-Steam shortcuts to Steam. When one of those is launched, a transparent, borderless window appears in which you can use the Steam-overlay. You also get access to touch- and radial-menus and other functionality normally only present in Games
+GlosSI provides a target application that can be added as a "Non-Steam Game" to Steam.
+When launched, it redirects all configured controller inputs to a virtual system-level XBox360 controller.
-In addition to that, Gamecontroller-inputs are redirected to the whole operating system, so that they will work with any game or application
-Real Gamecontrollers are hidden from other applications, so that they can't interfere with your game.
+Additionally, it provides the Steam Overlay in an (always on top) transparent window.
-This brings full Steam-Input functionality to the desktop and any other application Steam-Input might not have worked before
+As a result, this brings full Steam-Input functionality to the desktop and any other application Steam-Input might not have worked before.
Games do not need to be launched using GlosSI.
-If the "Start Application" option does not work, launch any GlosSI-Shortcut from Steam, followed by a game or application.
+However, to ease managing multiple GlosSI shortcuts, there is also a GlosSI-Config application included.
+It allows one to create individual GlosSITarget configurations which can launch games for you, and easily add or remove them from Steam.

# Building GlosSI
## Windows
Requirements:
+- git
- Visual Studio 2022 (Community edition is fine)
-- Qt 6.2.X (GlosSIConfig only)
-- Qt Visual Studio addin (GlosSIConfig only)
+- [Qt 6.X](https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer) (GlosSIConfig only)
+- [Qt Visual Studio addin](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=TheQtCompany.QtVisualStudioTools2022) (GlosSIConfig only)
+
+In a "Developer Powershell for VS 2022" run:
```powershell
+git submodule init
+git submodule update --recursive
+
.\prebuild.ps1
# Open GlosSI.sln and hit build!
Invoke-Item GlosSI.sln
```
+(Note: It can be the case that the first build fails as there are versioning files created when building. Just hit build again and you should be good to go!)
+
In addition to the above, you will need to install the required drivers:
-`ViGEmBusSetup_x64.msi` and `HidHideMSI.msi`
-Both of which can be downloed from [ViGEm's website](https://vigem.org/Downloads/) or by use of the `download_release_deps.ps1` script.
+`ViGEmBusSetup_x64.exe` and `HidHideMSI.exe`
+Both of these can be downloaded from [ViGEm's website](https://vigem.org/Downloads/) or by use of the `download_release_deps.ps1` script.
+
+---
## Linux
Linux support is currently not really implemented.
+No guarantees that the build will even work. (It's probably broken)
That said, very limited linux support is planned for the future.
No Guarantees that the build works out!

-Simply **double press** your assigned Steam overlay key(s) or the Steam/Guide button to bring it up.
-From here you can take a peek at the log and change various settings.

+
+## Installation đŋ
+
+### Installer
+
+- Install, Reboot, Go! đī¸
+
+### .zip file
+
+1. Extract the .zip-file to any directory on your computer
+2. Install vc_redist_x64.msi
+3. Install ViGEmBusSetup_x64.exe
+4. Install HidHideSetup.exe
+5. **Reboot(!)**
+
+That's it! You're ready to use GlosSI đ
+
+## Usage đšī¸
+
+### Prerequisites đ¨
+
+- Enable "XBox configuration support" in Steam
+- Have Steam running
+
+### Quick usage âąī¸ (Handy for troubleshooting!)
+
+1. Add `GlosSITarget.exe` as a non-Steam Game to Steam
+2. Setup controller configuration for the newly added shortcut in Steam
+3. Launch _GlosSITarget_ from Steam
+
+That's it! đ
+You can now launch any game/application just like you would without Steam.
+Enjoy global SteamInput as well as a systemwide Steam overlay. đģđŽ
+
+**Please note:**
+The overlay only works with _borderless window_ mode, **not** _exclusive fullscreen_.
+
+In this mode, the overlay also does not work with UWP (â Windows Store)
+(When not manually enabled in GlosSI-overlay after launch)
+See [Comfy usage](#-comfy-usage), [configuration](#-configuration)
+
+---
+
+### Comfy usage đ§¸
+
+Since launching one thing from Steam and then launching a game outside of Steam is tedious, and leaves you with only a single controller configuration, GlosSI provides a handy shortcut-management and config app
+
+Here's the basic gist to get you up and running using GlosSI
+
+1. Launch GlosSIConfig.exe
+2. Click the â-button to add a new shortcut that GlosSI should manage
+3. Select the type of app you want GlosSI to launch for you
+
+- Select _UWP App_ for Windows-Store Apps
+- Select _Win32 Program_ for "classic" programs and games
+- Select _Add Manually_ in case you don't want GlosSI to launch anything or want to set up game launching at a later stage.
+ - **If** you have selected _Add Manually_ enter the desired name for the shortcut
+
+1. Click the _đž Save_-button
+2. Click the _â to Steam_-button
+3. _Optional_ Repeat steps 2-5 if you want to add multiple shortcuts
+4. **Restart Steam**
+5. Setup controller configuration for the newly added shortcut in Steam
+6. Search and launch your newly added shortcut from Steam
+
+That's it! đ
+GlosSI should now launch your game, draw the SteamOverlay on top of it (_borderless window_ and _UWP_ only) and provide controller input redirection. đģđŽ
+
+
+ Screenies đ¸
+
+
+
+
+
+## Configuration âī¸
+
+### Pre-Launch configuration (GlosSIConfig)
+
+GlosSIConfig provides a fair share of configuration options to tweak features to your liking as well as aid in troubleshooting.
+Most of the options have a `?`-button next to them that will provide a short description of what the option does.
+
+You do not need to worry about the advanced options too much, though, as the sane defaults should work for most supported use-cases
+
+### On-the-fly configuration (GlosSI overlay)
+
+Most, if not all, configuration options that are available in GlosSIConfig can also be changed on the fly using the GlosSI overlay.
+
+To open/close the GlosSI overlay, open and close the SteamOverlay twice in rapid succession.
+
+The GlosSI overlay can also be navigated with controller-inputs
+
+
+ Screenies đ¸
+
+
+
+
+
+
+## Neat tips and tricks đ
+
+- Want to use Steam community controller configs for a game you bought on a different store than Steam?
+
+ Rename the shortcut in Steam to the Steam-AppID of the game you want to access to community-configs.
+ Community configs may only be available **before** you launch the shortcut.
+ AppIDs can be retrieved from [SteamDB](https://steamdb.info/apps/)
