# GloSC
|
|
|
|
GloSC or Global SteamController is a small set of tools that allows you to use your SteamController as a system wide XInput-controller alongside a system wide (borderless window) Steam overlay
|
|
|
|
All complete with **per application bindings and working rumble emulation.**
|
|
|
|
GloSC can also launch any of your favorite Games and directly add them to Steam, be it Win32 or UWP!
|
|
|
|
It is **the tool** to enjoy any Game that has trouble with Steam and/or *add extra functionality* to your SteamController
|
|
|
|
Play *UWP-Games*, use *Reshade / SweetFX*, *Origin* and *Uplay*-Games with **no hassle**
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## FAQ / Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
* **Q: The overlay isn't showing up!**
|
|
|
|
A: The overlay only works for windowed or borderless windowed mode applications. Nothing much I can do here.
|
|
This is even true for UWP-Games! While it's true that UWP doesn't run exclusive fullscreen, they don't run, strictly speaking, classical borderless window either
|
|
|
|
Try running your games as borderless window
|
|
|
|
* **Q: GloSC always creates four controllers**
|
|
|
|
A: Enable Xbox360 controller rebinding in Steam! It's in the "Controller" section in the Steam Settings.
|
|
|
|
* **Q: Some games (Gears of War 4, Forza Horizons 3) have odd double inputs with the bumper buttons and sticks**
|
|
|
|
A: Enable Xbox360 controller rebinding in Steam! It's in the "Controller" section in the Steam Settings.
|
|
|
|
* **Q: Multiple different controllers are not working**
|
|
|
|
A: Will probably be fixed in the long run, for now we have to wait for a new ViGEm release.
|
|
|
|
* **Q: Hitting the Steam Button + RT to take a screenshot doesn't work**
|
|
|
|
A: Another limitation that most likely won't be fixed, even if Steam would take a screenshot, you'd most likely get just a blank image
|
|
|
|
* **Q: UWP Games don't launch in foreground**
|
|
|
|
A: For some reason trying to launch them in foreground stops them from launching entirely
|
|
|
|
For now use alt+tab via Steam-chords
|
|
|
|
This is currently being investigated
|
|
```
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It is built using [Qt 5.9](https://www.qt.io/) and uses [SFML](http://www.sfml-dev.org/) for drawing the overlay
|
|
|
|
The system wide Xbox-Controller works via [ViGEm](https://github.com/nefarius/ViGEm)
|
|

|
|
**GloSC consists of:**
|
|
|
|
* A main application ("GloSC") allowing you to create and configure new shortcuts or "SteamTargets" and automatically add them to Steam
|
|
* The "GloSC-GameLauncher" which can launch Win32 and UWP games and mainly exists to work around dual overlays
|
|
* The "SteamTarget" which does most of the magic - Showing the overlay to the user as well as talking to the ViGEm-driver for system wide Controller emulation
