How do I add a console command to Steam?
Is that even a thing you can do?
I wanted to play a specific Doom Mod and got it to work by using a command. I can't select the mod in the GUI for some reason so adding gzdoom alone wouldn't do much

You could make a bash script to do that? Then add that to steam

Never done that before. Need 10 minutes or so to figure that out with a guide :v_:
Gonna report back

Literally paste that in a file, make it executable heh
You could do it proper and put
#! /bin/bash on the first linefascinating-indigoOP•6mo ago
Yeah did that
You're telling me that's not even necessary?
Also guide told me to give it executable permissions. Do bash scrips in Steam need that?

It should be there but modern linux will execute the commands without it heh

Anyways
Works
Perfect

That's honestly very helpful knowledge in general

Yea scripts are handy 😄
I bind them to keyboard inputs and stuff as well
Or wrap some customizations to commands with them. Then if you store your scripts in a directory in $PATH you can execute them wherever and not have to cd to the dir they are stored
I control my tv, use command line dictionaries, window selection etc with a pile of scripts haha
