[script] Add Steam nicks directly from web profile, without inviting to friends

Closed

This is native Steam feature, which is still hidden for some reason. All code that handles nick adding is on Steam web pages. This script simply adds missing button to allow you to use it.

For Firefox you need Greasemonkey addon.
For Google Chrome you need Tampermonkey

Then install the script from here: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/166468

To see the effect in your Steam application, you must restart it. I hope I didn't screw anything up with languages.

PS installs-counter is broken on whole userscripts.org for over a month and they don't do anything to fix it.

To bring your post back 2 life:

Thanks for that script, but I'm able to define nicknames in Steam itself?

If I understand your question correctly - the difference is, you don't have to add user to friendlist to set him a new nick. This is especially useful, when we are tagging people who blacklisted us, have full friendlist or we just don't like them and don't want to invite to friends.

I just tested it and it's weird because script works on my Chrome without any problems, I got newest version 26.0.1410.64 m. To install it, you have to save script on your disk and then drag it to chrome://extensions/

Yes, i have newest version Chrome installed too. I even test it in Incognito mode, without any extensions, except your script. There wasn't Add nickname option in both langauge I tested (polish, and english).

Button doesn't show up on your own profile AND when your URL ends with something else than nick or ID. E.g. it's turned off when you change language and URL is like .../nick?l=english - because it would require more complicated @include pattern, which is checked, thus more wasted computing power just for a single time, when language changes. Just use Steam normally and it should show up.

Yep, but I disabled all extensions, reinstall your script, restarted browser, changes languages, try profiles with custom id and without it, offline and online, in game and not playing, in my friend list and stranges. There wasn't this new option.

It appears that Chrome doesn't recognize "include" function and simply runs the scripts everywhere. Well, code still worked anyway, but could you try to install it with this addon https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo? For me everything is ok and script is running where it should be.

Thanks, if I install script in this addon it works :) Funny thing: when I install from the same file in Tampermonkey it is version 1.02, but install in Chrome it is 1.0. I think that Chrome scripts managment doesn't have some crucial function needed in this script.

By the way, install counter is broken on whole userscripts.org. For over a month... And they don't do anything to fix it.
