🧠 Overview

WallFetch Engine is a heavily optimized, asynchronous C++ downloader specifically designed to extract high-fidelity animated backgrounds from the Steam Workshop ecosystem without requiring a background Steam client instance.

Whether you are configuring a custom Windows desktop UI, migrating your live wallpaper collection, or backing up rare Scene formats, WallFetch bridges the gap between the Workshop API and your local filesystem natively and blazingly fast.

🚀 Features

• ⚡ Hyper-Fast I/O Operations: Built heavily on libcurl multiplexing for concurrent downloading.
• 🔓 Standalone Architecture: Does not require Steam application execution to operate.
• 📦 Deep Asset Extraction: Extracts pkg, .mp4, .wmv, and WebUI animated scenes directly.
• 🔗 Automatic Dependency Resolving: Fetch wallpaper textures and audio data completely intact.
• 🎨 Cross-Ecosystem Support: Output integrates directly with Wallpaper Engine, Lively Wallpaper, or natively scripted desktop wrappers.
