Now that you have installed Node.js and Atom, we can start coding
First we will make a bot that is able to login to your steam account
You will need the following files:
- Index file called
index.js, write the following inside the index.js file
const SteamUser = require('steam-user');
const SteamTotp = require('steam-totp');
const client = new SteamUser();
const config = require('./config.json');
client.logOn({
accountName: config.username, // Your steam username
password: config.password, // Your steam password
twoFactorCode: SteamTotp.generateAuthCode(config.sharedsecret) // Your sda shared secret
});
client.on('loggedOn', () => {
console.log('Logged into Steam!');
client.setPersona(SteamUser.Steam.EPersonaState.Online, 'Steam Bot'); // Steam profile set to online and steam name to Steam Bot
client.gamesPlayed(440); // 440 (Team Fortress 2), 730 (CS:GO)
});After you coded the index.js, download the package.json, install.bat and start.bat.
The file package.json contains all the node modules you will need for this bot.
Once you double click install.bat, those node modules will be installed.
Now all you got to do is double click start.bat to start your bot.
If you get an error, checkout the troubleshooting section on the main README. After you have given the 2FA code, which you will get from the steam mobile or desktop authenticator, you should see the "Logged into Steam" message appear in your command line.
At the top of the index.js, we see:
const SteamUser = require('steam-user');
const client = new SteamUser();
const config = require('./config.json');The steam-user is required here to run the steam bot.
This node module can be installed using install.bat and package.json.
Then a new instance named client with new SteamUser() is defined.
Last the config.json is required to get the username and password from that file.
client.logOn({
accountName: config.username,
password: config.username,
twoFactorCode: SteamTotp.generateAuthCode(config.sharedsecret)
});The username and password from the config file get passed to the logOn method of
our client, which is an instance of SteamUser. So basically,
we're telling our SteamUser instance to login to the Steam network using our
username and password.
We then proceed to adding an event listener.
client.on('loggedOn', () => {
console.log('Logged into Steam');
client.setPersona(SteamUser.Steam.EPersonaState.Online, 'Steam Bot');
client.gamesPlayed(440);
});The on method takes two parameters – an event name and a function. When the
client emits an event whose name matches the event name we have specified
in the on method, the function we provide will be executed.
When client emits an event called loggedOn, we tell it to execute a
function, defined in this case using an arrow function.
Inside of our function, we tell Node.js to log "Logged into
Steam" to our command line.
Then we set the state of the steam account to Online and change the steam profile name to Steam Bot
And finally we set the game to play to 440
- Team Fortress 2 = 440
- CS:GO = 730 It is possible to idle mutliple games at once, but we will get into that later.
If you want to find your sharedsecret from your phone, use the following:
Your shared secret is used to generate your 2FA code. Your identity secret is for trade and market confirmations.
We will use the identity secret later on when it becomes necessary. Remember to never share these secrets with anyone as they could easily sabotage your account.
