function Update-SteamApp { <# .SYNOPSIS Install or update a Steam application using SteamCMD. .DESCRIPTION Install or update a Steam application using SteamCMD. If SteamCMD is missing, it will be installed first. You can either search for the application by name or enter the specific Application ID. .PARAMETER ApplicationName Enter the name of the app to make a wildcard search for the application. .PARAMETER AppID Enter the application ID you wish to install. .PARAMETER Credential If the app requires login to install or update, enter your Steam username and password. .PARAMETER Path Path to installation folder. .PARAMETER Arguments Enter any additional arguments here. Beware, the following arguments are already used: If you use Steam login to install/upload the app the following arguments are already used: "+login $($SteamUserName) $($SteamPassword) +force_install_dir $($Path) +app_update $($SteamAppID) $($Arguments) validate +quit" If you use anonymous login to install/upload the app the following arguments are already used: "+login anonymous +force_install_dir $($Path) +app_update $($SteamAppID) $($Arguments) validate +quit" .PARAMETER Force The Force parameter allows the user to skip the "Should Continue" box. .EXAMPLE Update-SteamApp -ApplicationName 'Arma 3' -Credential 'Toby' -Path 'C:\Servers\Arma3' Because there are multiple hits when searching for Arma 3, the user will be promoted to select the right application. .EXAMPLE Update-SteamApp -AppID 376030 -Path 'C:\Servers' Here we use anonymous login because the particular application (ARK: Survival Evolved Dedicated Server) doesn't require login. .NOTES Author: Frederik Hjorslev Poulsen SteamCMD CLI parameters: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Command_Line_Options#Command-line_parameters_4 .LINK https://hjorslev.github.io/SteamPS/Update-SteamApp.html #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess = $true, ConfirmImpact = 'Medium' )] param ( [Parameter(Position = 0, Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true, ParameterSetName = 'ApplicationName' )] [Alias('GameName')] [string]$ApplicationName, [Parameter(Position = 0, Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true, ParameterSetName = 'AppID' )] [int]$AppID, [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [string]$Path, [ValidateNotNull()] [System.Management.Automation.PSCredential] [System.Management.Automation.Credential()] $Credential = [System.Management.Automation.PSCredential]::Empty, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)] [string]$Arguments, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)] [switch]$Force ) begin { if ($null -eq (Get-SteamPath)) { throw 'SteamCMD could not be found in the env:Path.
