Is Source control/Git available?

  • It's possible to purchase git and source access via Gumroad

  • Product updates always arrive first on gumroad as well

Whats the difference between SteamCore and SteamCore PRO?

  • SteamCore PRO features it's own Online Subsystem and is not locked to the Online Subsystem included with Unreal Engine, this allows for more customizability and flexibility without having to modify engine source code

  • PRO includes the latest Steamworks SDK version. (Currently 1.61)

  • PRO sessions are not region locked

  • Invite friends to your game/multiplayer sessions with PRO

  • Dedicated Server and Listen Server Authentication/Game ownership verification

  • PRO: Connect to dedicated servers via IP and listen servers via P2P relay network using the same configuration, no need for different game configurations.

  • PRO version is the only version that will be recieving new feature updates.

  • The regular SteamCore was released many years ago and is considered feature complete. It will no longer be receiving new feature updates, only critical engine updates and bug fixes.

Hey, I was wondering if this supports creating custom steam items? Thinking CS:GO style skins that can be traded :slight_smile:

Thank you!

SteamCore Pro doesn’t have Microstransactions???
Well that doesn’t make any sense.
in Docs under Video Tutorials there is a Microstransactions section with a video in it, but that video doesn’t expain anything, so i checked SteamCore Legacy Docs and i found the setup for Microstransactions.
so i bought SteamCore Pro thinking that it must have that feature and setup should be somewhat close to SteamCoreLegacy, but i don’t see any of the nodes shown in the SteamCore docs nor can i find Sandbox Mode checkbox nor can i find SteamCore Section under project settings → Game.
does SteamCore Pro lack Microstransactions feature? if so then why is there a Microstransactions section under Video Tutorials?
or is the documentations not updated to include SteamCore Pro Microstransactions setup??

This plugin does not need in web key.
Example you can see in Demo Project in Inventory folder.

16

To use Steam MicroTXN functionality you need the Web plugin as well, which is not included with the SteamCore PRO version.

Thanks
