What can be done with these commands from a websites point of view?
== Implemented commands ==
Its a pretty open and powerful system. A website link can start up steam and not only change any [[ConVar]] of a user, but it can also execute [[ConCommand]]s like making a player join a specific server running a specific mod. It can even get the player to start up a dedicated server with a single click.


Here some examples:
; <code><nowiki>steam:"<commands>"</nowiki></code>
 
: Opens Steam with command line arguments, [[Command Line Options#Steam (Windows)|which can be found here]].
'''steam:"-applaunch 70 -game "<mod>" +map "<map>""''' - This starts up [[Half-Life]] running the specified mod then loads a specified map.
{{note|If you forget the closing quote for a steam:"<command>", an assertion failed error will be raised by Steam.exe/BootStrapperApp.cpp.}}
 
; <code><nowiki>steam://AddNonSteamGame</nowiki></code>
'''steam://connect/<IP or DNS name>[:port]"''' - If a mod was running at the specified server, Steam would attempt to start up that mod and connect there. This applies to any kind of [[Goldsource]]/[[Source]] server.
: Opens the Steam checklist menu to add non-Steam games.
 
{{note|If you would like to programmatically add or remove non-Steam games, see [[Add Non-Steam Game|Adding Non-Steam Games]]}}
To view this browser based command system in action look at this [http://www.bgmod.com/index.php?module=servers server browser website] and click on one of the servers.
; <code><nowiki>steam://advertise/<id></nowiki></code>
 
: Opens the store to an application's page.
