Steam is a form of DRM

No it isn't. You can run the game without steam.

Included in GOG release of System Shock 2:

manual
wallpaper
Ken Levine radio interview
soundtrack (FLAC)
soundtrack (MP3)
2 avatars
SHODAN full size render
28 artworks
pitch document
2 concept maps

Thanks. That's quite a bit of extra stuff.

how?

I'll make a guide and add it to the OP

Basically replace these files
Steam/Resource/Layout/gamespage_grid.layout
Steam/Skins/"Name of Skin"/Resource/Layout/gamespage_grid.layout

with http://pastebin.com/Ee6xTCLB

Interior Spacing value adjusts the Y axis

I just need someone to let me know what adjusts the X axis.

This is a picture of all of the people on my friends list that have good taste.

Probably the best game I have played all year. Looks great with some mods and doesn't affect the gameplay.

 

[Ledsen]

I'd be there too if people bought my foils. God damned foils.

I haven't gotten even one foil... so those €26 are honestly earned, gaddarnit *shakes fist*

Interior Spacing value adjusts the Y axis

I just need someone to let me know what adjusts the X axis.

Have you tried this value?

"interiorspacing"				-1

 

[Grief.exe]

Check the quote. That value adjusts y axis spacing of the items.

EDIT: wait from the file entry for Interior Spacing // minimum interitem spacing, used for both x and y_

So that value should adjust both X & Y, but it is only adjusting Y for me.

Interior Spacing value adjusts the Y axis

This is weird, interior spacing works for both X and Y axis here. Try setting the value to -5 or something like that, and see if it helps.

I have a slider in the right top bottom of Steam Window that let's me change the grid icon size, don't see anything like that in your picture though...

 

[cicero]

My installed

Right now most of time has been between Limbo, Don't Starve, and Gunpoint demo

Thoughts?

My thought? Go spend 10+ hours in FTL. Hurry.

Can you pastebin your config files? I'll compare to see the problem.

When I use those with Metro all my games within grid view disappear.

Figured it out, this is what you use to line up the X axis spacing

Try using this for the skin folder without replacing the original folder.
Also you might use the slider to "refresh" it.

For Metro Skin try replacing the gamespage_grid.layout file in the skin folder with this. While replacing the original one with this.

 

[Hellix]

And hardly an hour played by those who have it.

Wait, people buy games to play them?

 

[Grief.exe]

There it is. Key is the zoom slider, click it with your mouse then use the arrow keys to finely tune.

Still some more work to be done on my end playing with numbers to get it to perfectly line up

I did as you said but there is no difference. I do have the slider but it doesn't get rid of the negative space.

I have both Metro and Pixelvision on this PC so I modified both of them. Here is a zip file with all the modified files, just extract them in the steam folder and overwrite the existing files. I hope this will work.

Also can you post a screenshot, I don't get what you mean by negative space.

 

[Dice]

Just picked up RE5 and 6, so that's all of them now. I can't get any more games. I can't believe how many I have gotten, but also can't believe the deals I got. No need of a Steam Summer Sale this year. If the summer sale happens and is still going when I get my next paycheck, maybe I will get something little for 75% off, but I have a lot more than I can play here of top quality stuff.

Looted a Fractal key from ModBot. It works! (And nobody claimed it! And I have no idea what Fractal is!)

I'm sure its space in the X axis.

@Bolton you made sure to play with the Zoom bar? When you move it right and left with the arrow keys, you should see the space slowly decreasing until it reaches a certain point and resets to a maximum value.

Play with it and let me know, I am headed out but I will check in later.

Ok, THAT worked. Thank you!

You know what happened?

Its really finicky about file sizes. I bet you edited it too much and adjusted the file size by a bite, Steam was loading a previous version instead.

I noticed when I played around with it too much, Steam would stop accepting the save. I would have to start over with a fresh grid layout file to fix the issue.

 

[The Illiterati]

That is a maddeningly small number of people who own it.

I'm gonna assume they had already bought it on GoG.

I personally played System Shock 2 when it was released.

You are changing the skin file too, the skin file, at least for Metro skin, includes some details about grid options and sizes too. So I suggest you try the one I edited or just redownload the skin file and edit only the required values.

Wow, I'm suddenly getting really involved in this trading card business, I crafted the FTL badge and now I'm only thinking about getting games with cards in the Steam Sale. I'm planning out how to get the most cards without spending any extra money.

I highly recommend Thomas Was Alone. Also, Mutant Blobs Attack! is a really fun platformer. It's more enjoyable than difficult (which I vastly prefer). Also, Mark of the Ninja if you haven't already played it. Incredible game.

Dustforce is an amazing platformer. It just takes a bit of practice.

Double click or bust.


That's why I restrict all my screenshots to friends only.

I'd like to get creepy comments from Steam friends :/

I wish I could experience all the x-ray's at fatalities for the first time again.

 

[More_Badass]

Dustforce is an amazing platformer. It just takes a bit of practice.

Those are the best kind. Dustforce looks so smooth in the trailer. Is there only one right way through levels? And any level editor?

And I have Mark of the Ninja on 360. My favorite stealth game, the only one that captures the essence of being a ninja, rather than being a combo-crazed killing machine (cough Ninja Gaiden cough)

Dustforce is an amazing platformer. It just takes a bit of practice.

I had trouble with the key bindings back when I tried it. Couldn't bind a pause button to my gamepad at all.

I'll give it this, it has one of the best pieces of music I've ever heard in a video game.

[Infinite Justice]

Bought Half Life 2 at launch, have a 9 years old Steam account, still never bought Episode 2, I should probably get that. I have every Half-Life game besides that, even Lost Coast for god's sake (not much of a game but still).

I still haven't beaten Half Life 2 after all these years...

and yes that includes Episode 1 and 2

Looted a Fractal key from ModBot. It works! (And nobody claimed it! And I have no idea what Fractal is!)

12+ hours after initial posting and there were still unclaimed keys? I didn't think the internet was capable of showing such restraint. Sheriff ModBot really is cleaning up this town.

Saw the trailers. All these game look awesome. Especially Rogue Legacy. Didnt realize it was an insane platformer.

Preferably my favorite type of platformers are physics based like Limbo and....LittleBigPlanet. I like hard platformers like SMB as well, but I just really enjoy physics based puzzles and platforming

I guess when the lurkers are removed from the equation, keys go unclaimed more often

The GMG deal for RE Revelation is tempting. I wonder if Steam will have it for $5-$10 less
