NonSteamLaunchers v3.8.8

~Added RemotePlayWhatever via github so you can play all of your Non Steam games and applications including Emulators with other people from steam or on any mobile device, check out the very cool project by @m4dEngi https://github.com/m4dEngi/RemotePlayWhatever

For the Steam Deck, Just open up the shortcut that was created by NSL and select "Create guest invite Link" and then press ok twice. A session will be made on your deck. this can be done in Game Mode.

After this in order to use it you must EXIT the "RemotePlayWhatever" shortcut as you would any game, in order for you to then start your own game, running for the current session. Pressing the 3 dots on your physical steam deck "..." will open up the options and at the top right will have a remote play session for any of your non steam applications! you can now game with other people across steam for games that have local multiplayer and co-op. results may vary.

~more cleaner fixes for battle net that were preventing it from finishing the script.

Full Changelog: v3.8.5...v3.8.7

I recommend going forward for a better experience on the Steam Deck to use the NonSteamLaunchers Decky Plugin in the testing store.
For Desktop, use the .desktop file!

NonSteamLanchers v3.8.5

What's Changed

Desktop Version of NSL
~ Itchio Games are now added to the NSL Game Scanner and will create shortcuts automatically🎮
~ added a check for users that are unable to download dependencies, the script will now exit immediately and log the error

In order to "update NSLGameScanner" to get your Itchio Games, Simply just open NSL and hit the "STOP Game Scanner" button. This will prompt you to Restart the scanner which will then grab the updates. thats it!

NSL Decky Plugin
~Version 1.0 is now in the testing store! but there is a major bug! currently in the process of fixing then should be good to go!

Here is the link for the Decky Plugin
https://github.com/moraroy/NonSteamLaunchersDecky

Here is the link for the pull request on the decky database as well
https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-plugin-database/pull/527


Going forward i would recommend using the Decky Plugin instead of the Desktop Version when necessary once the plugin is stable.

There will be some work done to the Desktop Version but the NSL Plugin is superior thanks to alot of help from @sysmoon14 !


~Automating this project has been a big help thanks to @pythoninthegrass

NonSteamLaunchers v3.7

~Added Battle.net to the NSLGameScanner.
Battle.net shortcuts are now added after you restart. This one was a little rough so there may be some future fixes.
Since the Battle.net Launcher cannot be separated from the games. A correct format was needed in order to correctly "launch" the Battle.net "launcher". You should see your games billboard before you see your games "version" of the Battle.net Launcher. Hopefully that makes sense. LOL this may help with updates as well because youll now have a Battle.net Launcher and a "game version" of the Battle.net Launcher. Confusing, yes. Necessary ¯_(ツ)_/¯
