👌 Represent your Steam Group (Optional)

If you'd like to represent a specific steam group, simply pass the --group option with the ID of the group.

salien-script-js --token xxxxxxxx --group 123456789

You can get your group id by going to https://steamcommunity.com/groups/YOUR_GROUP_NAME_HERE/memberslistxml/?xml=1 and replacing YOUR_GROUP_NAME_HERE with the group name shown at the end of your groups url.

You must be a member of a group to represent that group!

If you'd like to team up with an established larger group please consider using either:

• /r/saliens id: 103582791462557324
• SteamDB id: 103582791434298690
• 100Pals id: 103582791454524084

👥 Multiple tokens/scripts

Simply open another PowerShell window and run salien-script-js --token yyyyyyyy --name "name of this script" where yyyyyyyy is your other accounts token and name of this script if what you'd like to see in the log outputs.

Advanced: 🐳 Running as a Docker container

The provided Dockerfile allows you to build this repository as a Docker container. To do that, clone the following repo and run the following commands.

# builds an image of the repo
$ docker build -t salien-script-js .

# sets up a container based on said image in "detached" mode
$ docker run -d --name salien-script-js salien-script-js [options]

You can also set up continuous deployment through Docker Hub. Read the following comment for a guide.

Advanced: ☁️ Deploying to heroku

Deploying with web-console

1. Click the button above.
2. Set SALIEN_CONFIG_V2 (see note below).
3. That's all!

To check if it works, visit logs at https://dashboard.heroku.com/apps/[YOUR_APP_NAME]/logs

If you see "Application Error" when going to the webpage of your app, it's okay - the script will still run anyway.

Deploying with Heroku CLI

$ git clone https://github.com/South-Paw/salien-script-js -o upstream
$ cd salien-script-js
$ heroku create [APP_NAME]
$ heroku config:set "SALIEN_CONFIG_V2=[APP_CONFIG]"
$ git push heroku master
$ heroku ps:scale web=0 salien=1

And to check if it works:

$ heroku logs --tail

Heroku configuration

SALIEN_CONFIG_V2 is just an array of config that will be passed to SalienScript constructor.

If you only have one account, then your config will look like this:

[
    {
        "token": "12345"
    }
]

The only mandatory key for each account is token and you can add extra keys to this config such as clan, name or selectedPlanetId:

[
    {
        "token": "12345",
        "clan": "67890",
        "name": "first_acc",
        "selectedPlanetId": "28"
    }
]

If you had two accounts for example;

• one named first_acc with a token of 123 and a group of 98712
• one named second_acc with a token of 456 and a group of 67890

then you would make your config look like this:

[
    {
        "token": "123",
        "clan": "98712",
        "name": "first_acc"
    },
    {
        "token": "456",
        "clan": "67890",
        "name": "second_acc"
    }
]
