SetStatInt fails every time, returning false and printing no other info. Is there any way to debug whats going on?

My code is:

from steamworks import STEAMWORKS()
sw = STEAMWORKS()
sw.initialize()
sw.RequestCurrentStats()
sw.SetStat('wins', 1)

I've also tried calling

sw.run_callbacks()

which produces the following error each time:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-18-b1942092c4aa> in <module>
----> 1 sw.run_callbacks()

C:\PythonRL\steamworks\__init__.py in run_callbacks(self)
    191             raise SteamNotLoadedException('STEAMWORKS not yet loaded')
    192
--> 193         self.RunCallbacks()
    194         return True
    195

AttributeError: 'STEAMWORKS' object has no attribute 'RunCallbacks'

I feel like I must be doing something fundamentally incorrect here, but I have no idea what it might be.

Hey there. Hmm, I wonder if the stats issue has to do with the restructuring of the module. I assume you have "wins" set up in your Steamworks back-end. You should be able to run SetStats outside of the Steam client still.

Is it possible to try a simple test like you have using the legacy branch? I can attempt a test of the newer module system this week.

As for the callbacks issue, it seems a little odd it would raise the exception yet still try to run callbacks. Also I don't see the actual RunCallbacks function anywhere... so that needs fixed.

Thanks for bringing this all up and let me know if you can do the legacy branch test; and if so what happens!

As for legacy, it would require the older version of SteamworksPy.dll, I think. Which may or may not be the cause of that issue.

As far as examples, I pulled up my seven year old Python game to check and here are some relevant code chunks:

# Boot up Steam stuff
Steam.Init()
STEAM_NAME = SteamFriends.GetPlayerName()
STEAM_FRIENDS = SteamFriends.GetFriendCount()
SteamUserStats.RequestCurrentStats()

My first Python game project did not use callbacks and I was able to use stats and achievements fine. Making the call to RequestCurrentStats doesn't really need a callback; the callback just let's you know the call was successful or not, though it is generally a good idea to wait for a response before doing anything after that.

Here is setting stats and achievements, StoreStats is required for Steam to recognize either has happened:

SteamUserStats.SetStat('saboteurs', pc.BEEN_SABOTEUR)
SteamUserStats.SetAchievement(boot.ACHIEVE_NAME)

# Save statistics to Steam
SteamUserStats.StoreStats()

Here is getting stats and achievements:

pc.ASPIRIN_TOTAL = SteamUserStats.GetStatInt('immune_pills_all')

if SteamUserStats.GetAchievement('ACHIEVEMENT_1'):
		pc.ACHIEVEMENTS[1] = 'y'

Hopefully that helps.

Right now I am going through and updating SteamworksPy to 2.1, which is a rather large update including a lot of new stuff. Callbacks is one of them. As I don't make games in Python anymore, testing might be a bit tricky, though I wager I can still use my exist Steam games with Python in test.

Hmm, that is definitely a truncation issue. I know in C++ that'll happen if you use the wrong quotes; ' instead of " will not allow multiple characters.

Since we have a direct cause, that'll make it easy to solve and I'll make sure it is in the update I'm working on. Thanks for the info!

I figured out what was going on-
Python 3 auto encodes strings as unicode.
Ctypes deals in ascii.

The following works fine:

`
from steamworks import STEAMWORKS()

sw = STEAMWORKS()

sw.initialize()

sw.RequestCurrentStats()

sw.SetStat('wins'.encode('ascii'), 1)

`

Huh, somewhat convenient it does that but not with Ctypes! That's really good to know and will help fix a few other things that don't quite work correctly. Good find!

This also occurs with GetStat - would it be possible to have both GetStat functions and the SetStat function always encode the name variable as ascii?

def SetStat(self, name: str, value: object) -> bool:
        """Set a statistic
        :param name: str
        :param value: float, int
        :return:
        """
        if isinstance(value, float):
            return self.steam.SetStatFloat(name.encode('ascii'), value)

        elif isinstance(value, int):
            return self.steam.SetStatInt(name.encode('ascii'), value)

        else:
            raise UnsupportedSteamStatValue("SetStat value can be only int or float")

Definitely. If one is changed then it's partner should be changed too.
