Patches in-binary strings to start with the null terminator, primarily intended so they never get displayed in the server console (for things that MM:S / SM can't reach, like the Steam libraries).
Needs a relatively recent Python 3 version.

Run python3 str0.py ${FILE} to shut those "RecordSteamInterfaceCreation" messages up for good.
Additional configuration files may be provided by passing -c ${CONFIGFILE} to the script.
You can add your sections following the syntax of str0.ini
Here is a useful bash snippet to spot the string you want to patch:
find -name "*.so" -exec sh -c "strings {} | grep -E '<ADD your strings here>'" \;NOTE: The patch process is NOT whole string matching, so don't write a vague string, as this may corrupt the file.
incrontab works great for automatically patching binaries after game updates. Add the
following entry:
/path/containing/bin IN_MOVED_TO python3 /path/to/str0.py $@/$# -c /path/to/config.ini
