Disclaimer!

I, the developer, am not responsible and cannot be held liable for any action the operator/user of this bot uses it for.

Although this setup may seem long, don't worry, the setup can be done in <3 minutes.
This is a basic setup guide. Visit the Wiki for more detailed documentations!

Download:

Click here: Download
Extract the zip and open the steam-comment-service-bot folder.

You need to have at least node.js version 14.15.0 installed: Download
To get your version number type node --version in your console or terminal.
If you need a tutorial for this specific node part, click here.

Setup & Configuration:

Open a power shell/terminal in the steam-comment-service-bot folder and type npm install.

Accounts

You have two options to provide the login informations for your bot accounts.
You can either use the accounts.txt file to provide login informations in the username:password:shared_secret format (shared_secret is optional) or the logininfo.json file to provide them in an object notation.

To use the first method, open the accounts.txt file and provide your accounts in the username:password:shared_secret format, one account per line. If you don't want to use a shared_secret just leave it out and only provide the account in the username:password format. Be advised that as soon as you have provided at least one account in the accounts.txt file you can't use the logininfo.json file anymore.

To use the logininfo.json open the file with a text editor and fill out the usernames and passwords of each bot account you want to use, following the existing format.
If you have a shared_secret then you can add it there too, otherwise just leave the brackets empty.
You can add more accounts by extending the list ("bot4": ["username4", "password4", "shared_secret"], etc...). Make sure to NOT forget a comma after each line, ONLY the last line MUST NOT have a comma! (ignoring this will cause errors!)

Config

Open config.json with a text editor.
You need to provide the link to your steam profile at "owner" and the steam64 id of your profile at "ownerid". If you don't know how to find your steam64id, open SteamDB, search your profile and copy the ID located down below at SteamID.

A complete documentation of the config.json can be found in the Wiki.

Quotes

Open quotes.txt with a text editor. You can add as many quotes as you want, line by line. Don't leave an empty line anywhere in this file! The file already has default comments set up.
The bot will choose a random quote for every comment. If you only provide one quote, the bot will only use that quote.

You can also use comments that go over multiple lines (ASCII-Art, etc.).
To do that, just put a \n at the end of each line of the multi-line comment. Then move the next line of your comment behind the \n so that your multi line comment is only one line in your quotes.txt, with each line of the actual comment seperated by a \n.
Example: My cool comment: \nline1\nline2\nline3

The bot(s) is/are now setup! Don't modify any of the other files.

Usage:

Type node start.js in the power shell/terminal you opened earlier.
Disclaimer: Do not start the bot with a tool that restarts on changes (like nodemon etc)! Just use normal node.
Add the main bot (bot0 in logininfo.json) on steam and send him the message: !help

To request a comment, simply type !comment! If you have more than 1 account set up in logininfo.json you can specify how many comments you want.

Web (URL) Comment Requests

Steam limitations

Steam sadly has some strict restrictions for commenting.
Read all of them here: Steam Support
Important: If you use limited accounts (<$5 spend) the user will need to send all of these accounts a friend request before requesting a comment!
Please be also advised that in order to comment on a profile the accounts need to have at least email steam guard activated. There are generators out there that can directly generate accounts with steam guard.
