Steam Change Steam popup position.

Some Steam games change the position where popups appear. The default is bottom right, but in my case this ends up covering important area of the game, which is very annoying.

I know how the user can set this manually for his games, but I also know games can override the user setup. This I don't know how to do, and I didn't see anything about that on GMS2 studio documentation.

Anyone can shed some light on this matter, please? Thank you in advance :)

Yeah, I want my game to work on Linux too.

Anyway I already requested this to the Yoyogames team. I think it was an oversight from them.

I don't think I've ever seen a game move the notifications around, but I guess you can do that.

Added two functions to my Steamworks wrapper.
Note that you'll need to compile it for desired platforms! (see README)

Example:
Code:
steam_set_overlay_notification_position(steam_overlay_notification_position_top_left);
steam_set_overlay_notification_inset(10, 10);

Hey mate, late reply, but I just added your extension to my project. Thank you very much!


I see it's under MIT license.... still, do you want me to add some credit to you in the game somehow?

MIT does require keeping the notice somewhere,
MIT license said:

so you can do that - people often put me on Special Thanks for tools I made[/quote]
