[VoiDeD]

Hello all.

I'd like to introduce some software that I've developed over the past few days.

The program is called "Vapor", and it's a cross platform Steam client. Right now Vapor only supports chatting with immediate friends on your friends list, but there is plenty of room for more features in the future.

Here's a few screenshots of what the client looks like on my Ubuntu VM.





Keep in mind that the client also works on windows systems.

I've also made a short video demo of the client in action:

This software is entirely open source, and should be considered a WIP. There will be bugs.

[release]
You can download a compiled version here: https://bitbucket.org/VoiDeD/steamre/downloads
The source is available here: https://bitbucket.org/VoiDeD/steamre...rojects/Vapor/

Vapor is written in C#, and should be compatible with the most recent versions of Mono.
[/release]

For more information on the Steam networking library that powers Vapor, check this thread: http://www.facepunch.com/threads/105...Steam-protocol

If anyone has any suggestions or feature requests, I'd be happy to hear them.

[Mr Dinosaur]

Nice job. Will definitely download and try it out.

[Code3Response]

This is the greatest (maybe..) thing I've seen come out of this section.

[SteeleCratos]

I hope Valve will allow for this

[FoohyAB]

[Oicani Gonzales]

Awesome. I can see this coming in handy. Great job.

[ze beaver]

Now do this on Android and you can have my babies.


Every single baby.

[triFeral]

Has anyone done this before? This is a huge milestone in getting steam to work on other platforms than mac and windows.

It says I can't connect to the auth server.

[Euphoracle]

Can we expect a CLI version of this? :)

Make sure you're entering your password in correctly.

If you're sure you've got it right then you might have discovered a bug.

This is native...er....

Is the API available? Should get an online version using AJAX up for any mobile with a browser.

The API is available in the form of a .NET library. Check this thread for more info: http://www.facepunch.com/threads/105...Steam-protocol

Looks incredible, well done.

[ManningQB18]

I would pay $5 for a iOS or Android version. This is great.

Coincidentally, I've been making a chat client for my school software class which I started last year under the name "Vapour". It was named Vapour because it can go transparent which is very useful to become inconspicuous in class.

Coincidence?



Latest version if anyone wants it.

It's my money and I need it NOW!

   I hate those commercials. Anyway, nice job, hombre.   

[SNNS-SEAN]

Holy shit, I've been waiting for something like this for ages to run on my shitty old laptop.
Thank you!

[TehDoomCat]

I'm about to test this to see if it'll run on my nokia n900 (a Maemo smartphone). Having a Steam client for my phone would be neat.

What UI toolkit does Vapor use? Is it something integrated with Mono?

EDIT: oh fuck standalone mono i'm totally integrating this into the phone's conversations framework

[kaze4159]

Oh god if an iOS version was released too

[jaybuz]

I get this error at college although they are probably blocking some ports.

---------------------------
Vapor
---------------------------
Unable to login to Steam2: Unable to get a list of Steam2 authentication servers.
---------------------------
OK

[ColdFusion]

i saw something similar in the opensteamworks svn the other day.

Also the auth server error happens when your password is incorrect.

Alsoo



Hmmm

[VistaPOWA]

Is a Symbian client possible?

[wingless]

Does what I want under arch linux on my netbook using LXDE, Using mono with the exe.

I don't care about the lack of avatars, I'm sure if I compile my own linux binaries it will better, But that doesn't matter.
Also when I use steam under WINE it maxes out my poor netbooks CPU while this barely even hits 50%. Good work.

Edited:

You should also add tabbed chat support later on.

[ItWasNiceToKnow]

If games are added to this, you should recieve a nobel.

[nicatronTg]

How is it that I'm always asleep when amazing stuff happens?

Great work VoiDeD, can't wait to try it later today.

[JustExtreme]

Very nice, I use Steam a lot for chat so this is handy

[Puvleek]

I'd like to see this for Mac OSX 10.4.

Edit: I don't care about dumbs, Macs in my school are kind of outdated.

[Ama-zake]

Awesome, I was just about tired of using LogMeIn even though it worked semi-well, would definitely pay moneys for an iOS version

[Pery]

Tried compiling this for OSX, it crashes after clicking login.

I had the avatar issue on my Ubuntu machine as well. Try http://www.mono-project.com/ThreadPool_DeadLocks, and see if that helps you out. Older versions of Mono have an odd ThreadPool implementation.

I've commited a fix for this, update your working copy and see if it works out. http://tracker.limetech.org/projects.../revisions/145

I've made a new version that includes more verbose debug output.

-snip, new version-

Launch Vapor with -debug, paste the relevant "AuthServerClient" lines to see what's going on.

Edit: New version with a login fix for anyone who didn't have a lowercase username.
