ℹ Introduction

What is SmokeAPI?

SmokeAPI is a DLC unlocker for the games that are legitimately owned in your Steam account. It attempts to fool games that use Steamworks SDK into thinking that you own the desired DLCs. However, SmokeAPI does not modify the rest of the Steamworks SDK, hence features like multiplayer, achievements, etc. remain fully functional.

Supported versions

SmokeAPI aims to support all released SteamAPI versions. When it encountered a new, unsupported interface version, it will fall back on the latest supported version. Below is a list of supported interface versions:

• ISteamClient v6—v20. (Versions before 6 did not contain any DLC related interfaces)
• ISteamApps v2—v8. (Version 1 did not contain any DLC related functions)
• ISteamUser v12—v21. (Versions before 12 did not contain any DLC related functions)
• ISteamInventory v1—v3.

Steam inventory does not work in all games with steam inventory because of custom implementation, and online checks. The list of games where inventory emulation has been shown to work is as follows:

• Hero Siege
• Project Winter
• Euro Truck Simulator 2

🛠 Installation Instructions

This unlocker supports 2 modes of installation: Hook mode and Proxy mode. Try installing the unlocker in hook mode first. If it doesn't work, try installing it in proxy mode.

🪝 Hook mode

1. Download the latest Koaloader release zip from Koaloader Releases.
2. From Koaloader archive unpack version.dll from version-32/64, depending on the game bitness, and place it next to the game exe file.
3. Download the latest SmokeAPI release zip from SmokeAPI Releases.
4. From SmokeAPI archive unpack steam_api.dll/steam_api64.dll, depending on the game bitness, rename it to SmokeAPI.dll, and place it next to the game exe file.

🔀 Proxy mode

1. Find steam_api.dll/steam_api64.dll file in game directory, and add _o to it's name, e.g. steam_api64_o.dll.
2. Download the latest SmokeAPI release zip from SmokeAPI Releases.
3. From SmokeAPI archive unpack steam_api.dll/steam_api64.dll, depending on the game bitness, and place it next the original steam_api DLL file.

If the unlocker is not working as expected, then please fully read the Generic Unlocker Installation Instructions before seeking help in the support forum.

⚙ Configuration

SmokeAPI does not require any manual configuration. By default, it uses the most reasonable options and tries to unlock all DLCs that it can. However, there might be circumstances in which you need more custom-tailored behaviour. In this case you can use a configuration file SmokeAPI.json that you can find here in this repository. To use it, just drop it alongside the SmokeAPI DLL. It will be read upon each launch of a game. In the absence of the config file, default value specified below will be used.

Option	Description	Type	Default
$version	A technical field reserved for future use by tools like GUI config editors	Integer	1
logging	Toggles generation of *.log file	Boolean	false
hook_steamclient	When installed in hook mode, this option toggles between hooking steamclient(64).dll and steam_api(64).dll	Boolean	true
unlock_all	Toggles whether all DLCs should be unlocked by default	Boolean	true
override	When unlock_all is true, this option serves as a blacklist of DLC IDs, which should remain locked. When unlock_all is false, this option serves as a whitelist of DLC IDs, which should become unlocked	List of Integers	[]
dlc_ids	When game requests list of all DLCs from Steam and the number of registered DLCs is greater than 64, Steam may not return all of them. In this case, SmokeAPI will fetch all released DLCs from Web API. In some games, however (like Monster Hunter: World), web api also doesn't return all possible DLCs. To address this issue, you can specify the missing DLC IDs¹ in this option. For some games (including MH:W), however, it is not necessary because SmokeAPI will also automatically fetch a manually maintained list of DLC IDs that are missing from web api	List of Integers	[]
auto_inject_inventory	Toggles whether SmokeAPI should automatically inject a list of all registered inventory items, when a game queries user inventory	Boolean	true
inventory_items	A list of inventory items IDs¹ that will be added in addition to the automatically injected items	List of Integers	[]

¹ DLC/Item IDs can be obtained from https://steamdb.info. You need to be logged in with your steam account in order to see accurate inventory item IDs.
