Steam manifest files & Lua files — FAQ

What are SteamTools manifest files?

A Steam manifest file (.manifest) lists every file of a game depot for a given build. SteamTools uses these manifest files, together with the depot keys, to let Steam download and install the game. ManiLua gives you the manifest files of any Steam game as a single zip.

What is a Lua file for SteamTools?

The Lua file (.lua) is the script SteamTools reads to unlock a game: it contains the AppID, the depot IDs and their decryption keys. Drop the .lua file into SteamTools (or the Steam console) along with the manifest files and the game appears in your library.

How do I download a manifest or Lua file?

Type the game name or paste its Steam AppID in the search bar, pick a source, then click Download Manifest or Download Lua. Sign in with Discord to get free downloads every day.
