Question GroupID and clanSteamID

[roughnecks]

Hello.

 

I'm trying to join a group of mine but I have issues with IDs.

 

If I use <groupID64>number</groupID64> - taken from my group url after adding "/memberslistxml?xml=1" - in "chat.getClanChatGroupInfo" I get info about a group which isn't mine.

Then if I try to join my group, either by using groupID64 or groupID I can read while editing my group on Steam ( http://i.imgur.com/zCUqOcd.png ) i get an eresult 10 (Busy).

 

Can you clarify which ID is which and how do I get them?

Thanks

There's no reason you shouldn't be able to use the number with getClanChatGroupInfo. That is your group's 64-bit SteamID.

 

The ID in your group edit page is the accountid portion of your group's SteamID. You can turn it into a full SteamID by putting it in this string: "[g:1:x]"

 

For example, the Valve group's accountid is 4, so we get https://steamcommunity.com/gid/[g:1:4]

There's no reason you shouldn't be able to use the <groupID64> number with getClanChatGroupInfo. That is your group's 64-bit SteamID.

 

OK but, as I said earlier, I got a different group info using my groupID64 and when I try to join it returns "error code 10".

[roughnecks]

    zed.manager._steam.chat.getClanChatGroupInfo(mygroupID64, function (err, response) {

        if (!err) {

            console.log(response);

        } else {

            console.log(err);

        }

    });

Can you show the code you're using to try to join the group chat?

[roughnecks]

zed.manager._steam.chat.joinGroup(groupId, function (err, response)

But I don't have the correct groupId, which I thought I'd get using "getClanChatGroupInfo" first and looking at response (chat_group_summary).

[roughnecks]

Just to be clear.

    zed.manager._steam.chat.getClanChatGroupInfo(103582791464211888, function (err, response) {
        if (!err) {
            console.log(response);
        } else {
            console.log(err);
        }
    });

That is my actual group clan id, but in response I'm getting:

 

=======================================================

[11:37:11] [LOG]

[11:37:11] [LOG]    { chat_group_summary:

   { chat_rooms: [ [Object] ],

     top_members: [ [steamID], [steamID], [steamID] ],

     role_ids: [],

     role_actions: [],

     party_beacons: [],

     chat_group_id: '5001420',

     chat_group_name: 'the lostlords clan',

     active_member_count: 3,

     active_voice_member_count: 0,

     default_chat_id: '15574067',

     clanid:

      SteamID { universe: 1, type: 7, instance: 0, accountid: 34690482 },

     chat_group_tagline: '',

     accountid_owner: null,

     chat_group_avatar_sha: null,

     rank: null,

     default_role_id: null,

     appid: null,

     chat_group_avatar_url: null,

     watching_broadcast_steamid: null } }

 

======================================================

 

Which is NOT my Group.

 

I was able to get my groupID using the "getInviteLinkInfo" method and now I'm testing chat messages and it works, but I need a way to get groupID inside the bot without an invite link.

[Dr. McKay]

That SteamID (like all 64-bit SteamIDs) is too big to be represented as a JavaScript number. It's being rounded.

 

 

Wrap it in quotes.
