srctools.game

Reads the GameInfo file to determine where Source game data is stored.

class srctools.game.Game(path: str | Path, encoding: str = 'utf8')

Represents the data in GameInfo.

path: Path

game_name: str | None

app_id: str | None

tools_id: str | None

additional_content: str | None

fgd_loc: str | None

search_paths: list[Path]

strata_mounts: list[Keyvalues]: Mount configurations used in Strata Source. Allows loading searchpaths from other games, based on appid.

property root: Path: Return the game’s root folder.

parse_strata_mounts() → tuple[list[Path], list[Path]]: Parses the mounts in self.strata_mounts and returns two lists of paths. The first should take priority over gameinfo, the second comes after.

parse_search_path( prop: Keyvalues, roots: Sequence[Path] = (), ) → Path: Evaluate options like |gameinfo_path|.

get_filesystem() → FileSystemChain: Build a chained filesystem from the search paths.

bin_folder() → Path: Retrieve the location of the bin/ folder.

srctools.game.find_gameinfo(argv: list[str] | None = None) → Game

Locate the game we’re in, if launched as a compiler.

This checks the following:

-vproject
-game
The VPROJECT environment variable.
The current folder and all parents.
