# overcast
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**overcast** is a tool for managing non-Steam games, known internally as "shortcuts", via the command-line. This tool is intended to be used with the Steam Deck, and support on other platforms should not be expected.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How to Use
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The end goal is for overcast to be managed via a GUI. In the meantime, the info provided by `overcast --help` should get you started:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Usage: overcast <command> [<args>]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Manage non-Steam games
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Options:
|
||
|
|
--help display usage information
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Commands:
|
||
|
|
add add a new shortcut
|
||
|
|
list list all shortcuts
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Adding a new shortcut
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When adding a new game, you are required to provide its name as will be shown in your Steam library, and the command to launch it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
overcast add -n "My Cool Game" \
|
||
|
|
/home/flurry/Games/my_cool_game/launch.sh --fullscreen
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You may also want to set the starting directory, since most Linux launcher scripts expect to be in the same directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
overcast add -n "My Cool Game" \
|
||
|
|
--start-dir /home/flurry/Games/my_cool_game \
|
||
|
|
/home/flurry/Games/my_cool_game/launch.sh --fullscreen
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Listing shortcuts
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`overcast list` provides a quick list of the App IDs and names for all shortcuts you have. If you want more info, use the `--verbose` flag.
