What happens if the bot's friends list goes full?

[L33TGaming]

Plugin sometimes show this error in the logs:

Is there a friend list size limit? I'm unaware of that...

Seems to be the same issue as Doomhamer. Do you have some steps to reproduce? I don't have these errors on my servers...

Thanks Mr H3bus for your amazing work !

I just installed it on my servers and it works well.


Some improvement ideas for the bot :
- ability to send message to players without adding friends
- ability to directly invite players on the selected server (like if you invite a friend in your party), maybe we need a bot by server ?

Thanks for all !

Unfortunately this seems hardly doable as or both functionalities we need to fake the fact that the bot is playing on the server:
- We would need to have one bot per server (which is not really a problem)
- We would need to have the server fake the presence of the BOT on the server and that's not possible without a dedicated extension. Because steam clients do not send directly their "Now playing" statuses to the game coordinator, it seems that servers directly do this. Or maybe this is the role of the lobby system, including client and servers. Thus this can't be done from the steambot.

If such an extension existed this might be doable... I've no knowledge in extension writing, this would be very complex.
Also we would have to reverse-engineer the corresponding steam messages.

IIRC by default its 250 friends + 5 every steam level?

[h3bus]

I will have to add a method to prune old unused friends.

I'll push an update tonight to fix the "Invalid Handle" errors some of you have been reporting. Hopefully I'll update the steambot to handle friends too.

[h3bus]

v0.1.2 (28/01/2015): redirect: - Fixed Handle error on panels - Fixed server informations not being translated in menu if SQL data is up to date - Fixed server being selectable in menu even if full if refreshed through A2S - Fixed incorrect paginated display when an element is non selectable askconnect_steambot: - Fixed error on unexpected steambot disconnect steambot.py: - Now removes old friends when number of friends reach a threshold (240 by default)

[L33TGaming]

Updating to v0.1.2 added these errors:

This error still remained from previous version:

These servers might not be running when you tested.
Do you have a lot of these?

Error 10061 (WSAECONNREFUSED): Connection refused. No connection could be made because the target computer actively refused it. This usually results from trying to connect to a service that is inactive on the foreign host—that is, one with no server application running.

This may happen if you ran the sm_servers command from rcon (or server console) or if someone disconnected right after issuing the command.
I'll add a check for next version.

I would be please to know more about your firewall settings (especially TCP input on game port).
Maybe we could use a test redirect plugin to see when this is happening.
