Steam ID of Games: Fixed or Random

steamterraria

So I'm creating a simple bat script to move Terraria Maps to a specific Dropbox Folder, and I've added a few more funcionalities than just moving the map from the Dropbox Folder to the PC folder and viceversa. One of those new funcionalities is to launch Terraria from the bat script.

Since I can't find any info on this subject, my question is: Does the Steam ID of a game changes from user to user, or it's the same for everybody ? (I.E My Terraria Steam ID is 105600)

It's probably a dumb question, but very useful for me (and I'm guessing for someone else too) because the script fetches that ID.

The ID's are the same for all users on Steam. If you take the browser link of Terraria in the Steam-Store, you can see the ID you was talking about

http://store.steampowered.com/app/105600/

Edit: But for your script, keep in mind that Game ID's can change anytime, Steam wont promise that the ID's will be the same forever.

Steam – How to disable Steam from starting up with Windows without logging in to Steam

If you want to do this without starting Steam and logging in, you can modify the setting in the Windows registry. The autostart checkbox is directly tied to a registry key — simply deleting it is all the Steam client does when said checkbox is unchecked.

Navigate to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and delete the Steam key. Or as a .reg file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

Steam – transfer Steam Games from Win7 to Linux

Yes, you can for many of the files.

I've migrated most of my Couter-Strike:Source files to Linux.

You should pick the biggest files, such as textures, sounds, models and maps to copy. Then, under your Steam directory in Linux (~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps) create the directory structures that will hold these files, following the structure on your Windows partition.

Then when you go to install the game on Linux, after saying "Preparing to install game..." it will say "Discovering existing files...".
