OrangeGreenworks - Steam Integration with Achievements and Time Log

I have your same problem, I don't know why the message "you have get a new achievement" does not appear when I execute script call in the game. did anyone find a solution?

I have a problem with the overlay.

The achievements get activated during playthrough, but I can't open the overlay and I don't get the steam popup windows when the achievements unlock. The achievements are just unlocked within the launcher. I'm launching the game through steam, I tried both directly from the library and through the installed desktop icon. I also restarted steam.

@masterlobo do you remember if you did anything else beside using the achievements script calls in events to get it work? (and of course having the plugin in there and copying the required files over)

I tried both plugin versions I had access to~ which were 1.0 and 1.2.


For those struggeling to get the achievements running:

Get your NW version with this script call:
console.warn(process.versions);
(just place it within an NPC event, talk to it in playtest, check the consol and remove that event later)

Hit F8 for the console to open and check your node-webkit (NW) version.



Take a note of that.

go to
https://github.com/greenheartgames/greenworks/releases
and check for a release that matches your NW version.
(For NW.js version 0.29.4 that would be greenworks v0.13.0 for nw 0.29.4!)
Download the version files needed for you. (For the Systems you want to publish for: example win64)
Check for which Steam SDK your greenworks version is.
(In my case Steamworks SDK 1.42)

Go to steamworks.
https://partner.steamgames.com/downloads/list
Download the Version you need.

Follow Hudell's instructions for setup. Copy the files needed into your project.
@/MelonMintGames was kind enough to post an archive.org version link of the old documentation.

As you checked your NW version beforehand you can skip the last part that wants you to replace files in your deployed game folder.
(As we did get the other files matching our nw.js version and don't need to match the nw.js version to the other files, which you could also do and skip step 1 here instead!)

Upload to Steam. Have the achievement setup within steamworks. Launch through steam.


For those that find that the download in the op post isn't working:

Here's version 1.2 on Hudell's Github.
mv-plugins/OrangeGreenworks.js at master · Hudell/mv-plugins

Eventually I have it working but it was a pain in my right-mouse-arm to get the right versions matched Nw/ greenworks / steam sdk, and wel to get all the trophies icons in place.

Just a small tip:
The steam webpage is kind of outdated if you ask me, for handeling the archievemnt icons and that kind of stuff. Make sure you have the right order (I failed to do that, though I correct it someday). But it's another hour of wasted time, to reupload and move the archievements in the right order / group.

I get this error when use F8 (console):

NODE_MODULE_VERSION 64. This version of Node.js requires
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 59. Please try re-compiling or re-installing
the module (for instance, using `npm rebuild` or `npm install`).
at Object.Module._extensions..node (module.js:734:18)

how do i solve it? I already downloaded version 59 of Node but that error keeps happening

Do you have a backup of your project before you did mess with anything?
I'd revert to that and start from there again.

I already installed other versions of node and nw and now I get this error:

The specified process was not found

and it points to greenworks-win64.node it's like the plugin doesn't detect any version of greenworks.

I'm tired of trying so many versions of nw, I'm about to throw in the towel.

The link seems to be broken, it gives me an error saying the domain wasn't found. Has the whole website gone down?

I have same problem, "the domain wasn't found"

It apears that the given links do not work?

the links dont apear to work is that just me orrrrr....?

Just a couple of posts above yours:
mv-plugins/OrangeGreenworks.js at master · Hudell/mv-plugins

Hmm... just noticed something interesting. I'm developing on two different machines (home and work). One of them is Windows 11, the other is Linux. And even though the version of MV is the same on both, node-webkit is different. I noticed this when I checked console and saw that on the Windows 11 box OrangeGreenworks seems to be loading fine. However, it's throwing errors on the Linux one.

The errors are due to an incompatibility I believe with the Steamworks SDK. In particular, it's complaining about libsdkencryptedappticket.so. It probably needs a different one since the node-webkit is different on this Linux system.

Which begs the question: If I build on Windows with the working node-webkit and then deploy with that, if I install on Linux from Steam and run with Windows compatibility settings (Proton, etc) will it use the node-webkit I built it with that works and be good to go?

More testing is required. Sorry, I think I'm just sorta brain dumping right now. But somebody might hit something like this also and it'd be useful for them to read this and my findings. Maybe.

Has anyone followed these steps to deploy for Mac recently? My game opens before following the steps, but afterwards it just crashes.

(I know these steps worked fine for me in the past, so I'm afraid it just doesn't work anymore with new OS or something.)

Hello!

I don't know if anyone is still responding here but I have a problem. Everything seems to work, although when I launch my game I get the error "Greenworks failed to initialize." (afterwards it still shows me my peuso) When I play from the editor and I call the script to activate an achievement it gives me the message that it is doing it. Only when I export my game to Steam and play it from Steam, my achievement does not activate. And yet everything seems to be working normally, so I don't understand.

Thanks

What versions did you end up using?

Did you ever get it to work?

Trying this with the latest versions, the best I got was "Greenworks failed to initialize". What could possibly be missing at that point? Is it that I didn't have the steam app ID connected?

Also, when I DID try to do the 0.49.2 version, I couldn't find the greenworks for that nw.js version

I'm not sure it got realy messy. And it also depends on the nw.js version your game is using.

idk if I posted this here already, bc I'm pretty sure i did and now I cant see it anymore, but here is a 2025 tutorial:

The Link is busted, anyone know of way to still get this plugin? D;
