 eyJhb | Oh, also not really any issues in beat saber. But if i can use this as an excuse for being bad at it, then I'm fine with it :p | 08:55:48 |
 magic_rb | anyone know if i can get steam input working without going through steam non-steam games? id assume not, but still worth asking | 09:48:24 |
 K900 | Well there's a kernel driver for the OG controller | 09:48:48 |
| K900 | And SDL supports both models natively | 09:49:00 |
| K900 | So anything that uses SDL will just pick it up | 09:49:05 |
| magic_rb | sure but that just makes the controller working as a controller | 09:49:06 |
| magic_rb | that's not what id classify as steam input | 09:49:13 |
| K900 | If you want fancier mapping, there's definitely tools out there that aren't Steam | 09:49:22 |
| K900 | But it's the same idea | 09:49:39 |
 Atemu | Last time I looked into this, these tools were really quite lackluster | 13:36:41 |
| Atemu | I heard there's a project that can interpret SteamVR controller bindings; I would not be surprised if that was just steaminput too | 13:37:59 |
| magic_rb | InputPlumber looks to be something like i would want, not sure if it support steam input files | 14:13:23 |

 Makuru | Whats wrong with gamescope?
/bin/sh: line 1: gamescope: command not found | 17:47:01 |
| Makuru | where gamescope
/nix/store/71d1mqa318yqsfq1wmyp6x5iaz6pix0c-gamescope-3.16.24/bin/gamescope
/run/current-system/sw/bin/gamescope

 marienz | Normal steam client or beta or SteamRT3 steam client? I noticed steam (possibly SteamRT3 only?) started running games with $PATH cleaned up (ran into a similar error with my own custom wrapper). I added my wrapper to the steam FHSenv to get around it but don't recall if there's a nice way of doing that. Didn't realize gamescope wasn't in there already. I'll file a bug this evening (not at my computer right now). | 23:31:11 |

| Makuru | SteamRT3 | 02:27:19 |
| Makuru | Did this also fix the problem with gamemode? | 02:28:18 |
| marienz | It'll affect anything not included in the steam FHSenv. Workaround would be to specify the full path (I think /run/current-system/sw/bin is still available inside the container, just not on $PATH) | 02:56:47 |
| Atemu | Perhaps slightly OT but does anyone know of a way to set env vars only for the games that Steam runs but not for Steam itself? I currently use the wrapper but have run into an issue with an env var that causes trouble with Steam but that I do want games to get passed. | 07:56:03 |
 neobrain | Use the launch options | 08:21:58 |
| neobrain | (In the game properties dialog) | 08:22:26 |
| neobrain | MYENV=somevalue %command% | 08:23:03 |
| marienz | I don't think there's a way around having to do that for each game | 08:23:03 |
| marienz | (no default launch options for all games that don't have per-game options set) | 08:23:49 |
| marienz | So it's a little annoying (but does work) | 08:24:08 |
