Wouldnt it be awsome? Post your opinion and if there are any app developers out there, MAKE IT HAPPEN :D.
Uhhh, no, it wouldn't be awesome. Just add your Steam friends to your AIM, or whatever messenger you use on your Iphone/ Ipod Touch.
someone made it, it's called GEARS and it sells for 2.99, Valve should sue them :v:

[QUOTE=hl2poo;16542936]Uhhh, no, it wouldn't be awesome. Just add your Steam friends to your AIM, or whatever messenger you use on your Iphone/ Ipod Touch.[/QUOTE] Uhh some people don't use them. I have lots of friends I talk to on steam who don't use anything else. Plus I want to be able to talk to them if they're gaming.

People want it to happen, but Valve haven't released any information on the chat protocols that they've implemented so you really can't do much with it.
i would buy it
[QUOTE=The Scatman;16541497]if there are any app developers out there, MAKE IT HAPPEN :D.[/QUOTE] It doesn't work like that.
[QUOTE=EliteGuy;16543024]someone made it, it's called GEARS and it sells for 2.99, Valve should sue them :v:[/QUOTE] I just bought it. It doesn't allow for Steam chat or many great features as the description would imply. It doesn't even let you log in. It just lets you view Steam profiles, which you could do in Safari. I just wasted $3 dollars.
Uh, if you had read the Applications Recommendations thread you'da seen us discuss it.
VALVe ain't going to be releasing an API for Steam chat anytime soon. Sorry.

[QUOTE=DrDaxxy;16558638]How are you so sure about that.[/QUOTE] It would require the use of your Steam account Username/Password and this'd lead into a massive amount of scamming potential that Valve'd most likely can't be bothered looking into.
[QUOTE=WaLLy3K;16558664]It would require the use of your Steam account Username/Password and this'd lead into a massive amount of scamming potential that Valve'd most likely can't be bothered looking into.[/QUOTE] Exactly right. I was honestly sooo surprised when they started to ask for usernames and passwords via the web. Infact, for a long time I was reluctant to enter my information in there. Anyway, they've got SSL EV now, so I'm fine with it.
[QUOTE=doggunn;16558810]Exactly right. I was honestly sooo surprised when they started to ask for usernames and passwords via the web.[/QUOTE] Look where that got them... every second thread in the SC forums is "ZOMG DIS BE SCAEM!?" *facepalm*
I know this is a wee bit off topic but we should get a Facepunch App. I know we can browse it and such, but an app that has everything all organized and easy to use would be awesome.
[QUOTE=DementNeo;16558280]You should have read the posts above yours first[/QUOTE] Damned lying description pages. "Full Steam functionality" my ass.
[QUOTE=EliteGuy;16543024]someone made it, it's called GEARS and it sells for 2.99, Valve should sue them :v:[/QUOTE] 2.99 wow
Is there a Steam messenger program for mac?
yes, it's called steam
[QUOTE=leach139;16580851]yes, it's called steam[/QUOTE] (in crossover, parallels, boot camp etc)
Wow, fuck. I thought that this thread was announcing such application. Skipping over the IDEA part, I saw "iPhone" and "Steam Messenger" in the same sentence and I immediately came.
Sadly Valve won't play nice and give other programs access to their chat, the only way to access Steam Chat right now is through steam itself. That's why IM programs such as Trillian and Pidgin can't get on the steam chat servers.

Reverse engineering never hurt anybody. But can we [i]please[/i] just let this thread die? It's been talked about tons of times already.

You can fuck off, you arrogant shit. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Flaming" - Rusty100))[/highlight]
