Cannot change status #144

Closed 0Ky closed 8 years ago

Using Windows, doesn't let me change any of the status.

EionRobb commented 8 years ago

How do you mean?

The plugin lets you change your status, but it will only change your web/mobile status, not your Steam client status which gets priority over the web/mobile status.

Xylemon commented 8 years ago

Interestingly enough, I use the Web protocol (you can set it in the account settings for the plugin) and normally I can't set my status (this is with Steam closed), however if I leave my PC idle, the Steam status will be set "Away" via the Pidgin plugin. It's weird it can work that way but I can't manually set it "Away".

0Ky commented 8 years ago

Yeah sorry for the delayed reply, but I was talking about the client. My friends state that I'm always "Away" no matter what status I change it to. Was wondering if there could be a fix for this.

I was told there's another tool https://github.com/scholtzm/punk that actually allows you to select your status for steam client.

Xylemon commented 8 years ago

@Crypt-ix Wow does that client actually function fully without Steam? If so perhaps @EionRobb could study it to fix a few problems in the plugin.

@Xylemon I'll give it a go now and let you know.

It's pretty awesome you got your store page, notifications, pending trade offers and add friend

@Crypt-ix Thanks for sharing and testing it out, certainly looks like an interesting (and awesome) project to track. I hope it can be useful for other Steam related projects.

@EionRobb https://github.com/scholtzm/punk/blob/master/src/plugins/personastate/index.js#L186-L189 https://github.com/scholtzm/punk/blob/master/src/ui/menus/current-user-menu.js#L11-L13

Although this is for NodeJS I think. I think you need to allow users to change persona states with "K_EPersonaChangeStatus"

EionRobb commented 8 years ago

That punk tool is using SteamKit, which is a replacement for the Steam client

The Steam Mobile api that this plugin uses has a different system entirely, hence the bit about only setting your web/mobile status and not the client status.

EionRobb commented 8 years ago

Sorry guys, going to have to close this issue because there's nothing more I can do in the mobile/web api for this
