How does work method getChatMessageHistory ?

When i try to use id i get error TypeError: Cannot read property 'maxCount' of undefined

const option = { maxCount: 1000 }

client.chat.getChatMessageHistory( (id, id, option) ,messages => { console.log(messages) })

[Dr. McKay]

1. You should not be using the same id for the first and second parameters. The first parameter is the group chat ID, and the second is the ID of the channel you're looking for.
2. Get rid of the parens around the parameters. That's turning the commas into comma operators, which is not what you want to do.

My bad, sorry. How can I get chat history with my friend? And how can I find out about group id and chat id to get history with my friend? I thought that i need to use a friend’s steamID64 as before

i have tried to using this method but every time i get null

https://github.com/DoctorMcKay/node-steam-user/blob/v4/components/chatroom.js#L77

client.chat.getGroups( groups => { console.log(groups) } ) // groups = null

As in all callbacks, the first argument is err. And I'm pretty sure you'd want to still use getChatHistory as before.

getChatHistory works bad because with time chat history lost and i want to try get history through new method.

Can you tell me how can i get chat id and group id for get chat history with my friend ?

[Dr. McKay]

Chat history is temporary for all chats, even group chats.

Okay, but how can i get chat_id & group_id for send message for example ?

[Dr. McKay]

getGroups

[Guest Ino]

getGroups

When i called this i get an empty object every time

client.chat.getGroups( (err, groups) => { console.log(groups.chat_room_groups) } ) // Object {}

[Dr. McKay]

You probably aren't in any groups.

[Guest Ino]

You probably aren't in any groups.

But i have friends, how can i send message them using this method ?

SteamChatRoomClient.prototype.sendChatMessage = function(groupId, chatId, message, callback) {})

[Dr. McKay]

You don't, you use sendFriendMessage.

[byteframe]

oh boy I can play with the new chat stuff? can I install this branch with npm?

 

edit: nvm I got it installed, now I can get a jump on updating my code.

You don't, you use sendFriendMessage.

Are you on the latest v4 commit? That sounds like a bug I fixed a couple weeks ago.

Can you help me with this issue ?

Try to do it. If send one message - this event will be emitted so many times, how much you have accounts. I think the problem with websockets, maybee all accounts connected to one websocket or smth any.

UPDT: Method gamesPlayed() don't work too

const SteamUser = require("./node_modules/node-steam-user-4")

const client1 = new SteamUser()
const client2 = new SteamUser()
client1.logOn({
  accountName: '',
  password: ''
})
client2.logOn({
  accountName: '',
  password: ''
})

client1.on('friendMessage', (senderID, message) => {
  console.log(message)
})

client2.on('friendMessage', (senderID, message) => {
  console.log(message)
})
