User Comment Limit

[PonyExpress]

Hello!

 

I'm developing a bot, one function of which is posting EmoticomArt in User profile: https://steamcommunity.com/id/7Pony/
You can see examples in the comments section.

 

I ran into a problem that I myself can not solve:
Comments posted by a bot are always long. Plus, there should be some stock, designed for additional text.

 

// USER - receiver; POSTCARD - EmoticonArt; SPLITMESSAGE - optional, comments or any other text
                        USER.comment(POSTCARD + " \n " + SPLITMESSAGE, (ERR) => {
                            if (ERR) {
                                console.log("fail: " + ERR);
                            } else {
                                console.log("done!");
                            }
                        });

 

Everything would be fairly easy if the limit was always equal 1000 symbols.

Bot can post:

//989:
Postcard=":::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::"
//1000:
"aAaAaAaAaAaAa…" etc.

But try to Post comment with emoticons:

//660, result = done!
Postcard":rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg::rg:"

Thus, the length of the comment with emoticons can be from 660 to ~900-1000 symbols.

I also thought that there is a limit to emoticons, but here I did not find any logic.

I found the answer myself:

Limit always = 1000,
but when using any emoticon, need to add +2:

 

I will leave examples to make this clearer:

12345=5
aBcDe=5
:::::=5
:rc:=4+2
:tumble:=8+2
:bumble:=8 (because it's not a emoticon, it does not exist on Steam)

It is absolutely not important whether you have emoticons in your inventory or not. It is important only whether they exist in Steam or not.
