Steam ID Checker

Open brachistosaurus opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Why? While relevant websites do exist, some users may want to check Steam IDs from within the program. TF2BD already utilizes the Steam Web API, and player tooltips provide the visual foundation for this feature. But here's what those sites do not do (probably):

  • Extrapolate the Steam account's age for private profiles.
  • Display the number of TF2 hours.
  • Display other statistics relating to TF2.
  • Check if the account is marked on a downloaded playerlist.
  • Check if the account is part of an untrusted Steam group.

Optional:

  • [ ] Place it under File as "Check a Steam ID", or under a new menu called Tools.
  • [ ] Add (or Remove) the Steam account to (or from) a playerlist.
  • [ ] Check if the account is marked on a supported Third-Party Playerlist, even when not downloaded.
  • [ ] Links for the different profile sites.
  • [ ] Links for the different Steam ID sites.
  • [ ] Display their friends list.
  • [ ] Allow inputting multiple Steam IDs at once.
  • [ ] Automatically paste the clipboard into the textfield, if it contains a long number.

Aforementioned websites:

This has been talked about in private channels, right now this would be considered out of scope for this project. Someone may or may not be working on a thing that does this though.

Automatically paste the clipboard into the textfield, if it contains a long number.

Personally I am always a little weirded out whenever something just scans clipboard contents. Always feels key-loggerish.

Overall I don't take any issues with this. Might be a bit redundant given the existence of millions of these things already and the tool tip. In any case this is a super low priority thing.

Its worth to mention that steamid.uk got a nice lil API to fetch all the data they collect although its fairly limited with a chance to extend if you ask nicely
