Steam to Discord. Because Steam's social features are inferior.

Development has moved to antigravities/Steamcord2, use that instead

Steamcord is an in-development Steam to Discord interface which replaces some basic functions of the Steam client, such as messaging, friends list management, notification counts, and key redemption. It is not a total client replacement, but offers significant enhancements to the chat experience of Steam.

Steamcord:

• transmits conversations to and from Steam
• transmits group messages to and from Steam (buggy due to Steam limitations)
• shows PICS (game update) information
• allows you to redeem keys and obtain free licenses
• allows you to manage and view your friend list
• automatically sets your Steam persona name to match the nickname you set for yourself in your Discord server
• automatically transmits your Discord game persona to Steam
• shows group announcements
• notifies of new trade notifications
• shows new comment notifications, new item notifications, wallet balance, and the latest PICS changelist (if enabled) as the #general channel's topic
• shows game invites

Install

Prerequisites

• Node.js
• A dedicated Discord server created for the bot
  • A webhook URL created on the #general text channel in that server
    • DO NOT delete or rename the #general text channel; this channel is required for the bot to run
• A Discord application with associated bot user
  • If you aren't sure how to make one of these, go here

Installation

First, invite your bot user to your server by using a bot invite link like this: https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=INSERT_CLIENT_ID_HERE&scope=bot&permissions=536890384

Replace INSERT_CLIENT_ID_HERE with your bot user's client ID.

Next, install the client:

$ npm install # Install all required dependencies
$ cp settings.json.example settings.json # Create a local config
$ $EDITOR settings.json # Add your config options here
$ node . # Run the client

settings.json breakdown

• steam - Steam-related configuration options
  • accountName - Your Steam account username
  • password - Your Steam account password (NOTE: You will need to enter your Steam Guard code every time the bot is started. This is a limitation of Steam's 2FA method.)
• discord - Discord-related configuration options
  • key - Your bot user token
  • hookID - Your webhook ID (obtained from the webhook URL using the format https://discordapp.com/api/webhooks/hookID/hookSecret)
  • hookSecret - Your webhook secret
  • master - Your Discord ID (obtained by right-clicking on yourself and clicking "Copy ID" (requires developer mode to be turned on in Appearance))
  • masterGuild - Your dedicated Steamcord server ID (obtained by right-clicking on the server icon on the left)

Usage

To run Steamcord, just cd into wherever you cloned or downloaded Steamcord and run node .. This will prompt you for a Steam Guard code if you have that enabled, and start once it's entered.

Commands

NOTE: Commands must be run from the #general text channel, not in a chat channel.

• !pm <steamid> <message> - Begin a conversation with someone
