Integrating cstrike15_gcmessages.proto

[rektbot]

Hi There,

 

I'm currently using a couple of messages from the cstrike15 proto in a standalone script. I'd like to integrate this into my steambot but for the sake of cleanliness and consistency I want to manage it through steam-user.

 

I'd like to know if there are any impediments or advice you might have for me. My understanding is:

1. Protobufs - Drop the proto file + dependency into protobufs folder -> your protobufs.js will import it and add to schema
   
2. Messages - Edit messages.js to add a SteamUser.EMsg.xxx reference for the request & response message (2 lines)
   
3. Component - Add a new function in friends.js (or another file & add to index.js) to send a message for that proto eg. this._send(SteamUser.EMsg.xxxxx
   
4. EMsg/Enums - Ensure EMsg exists for that message
   

Point 4 is where I get stuck. There already appears to be a reference within EMsg.js but it's for a different message. I'm not sure what happens if i override this number. Within cstrike15 proto the enum type  is "ECsgoGCMsg".

 

Nb. I don't really want to post what i'm trying to do because it could be abused from copy/paste script kiddies. Happy to provide more info 1:1 though.

 

Thanks in advance for any guidance/advice/help.

 

Regards,

Kai

Update:

 

Realised that what i'm trying to do is handled by "SteamGameCoordinator" with a different CMsgProtoBufHeader.

 

Probably more to it than I assume... sorry

GC messages go through the CM, but other than that they have no relation. Therefore, GC communication is out of scope for steam-user. You may want to check out node-globaloffensive. You could fork it and add whatever messages you need if they aren't there already.

Thanks Dr! Appreciate it.

Wow I didn't even know node-globaloffensive existed! This is perfect!
