Administrating Your Jankbot

Set Up Admin Privileges

To use the admin commands, you will need to let Jankbot know who is an admin. To do this, you will need to add the Steam ID numbers to the config file. To find out your steam ID number, run Jankbot and message him saying "ping". Jankbot will respond saying "pong" and your Steam ID.

Another way to get your ID is to visit http://steamidfinder.com/ and type in your Steam login. It will come back with something like STEAM_0:0:#########. Take that text and paste it into the search box and search again, then it will give your 17 digit steam ID.

Once you have your Steam ID, add it to the admins property in the config file, either manually, or by running node config.

If your steam ID was 12345654321, your config file would look like this:

{
  "username": "your_bot_account_username",
  "password": "your_bot_account_password",
  "admins" : ["12345654321"],
  "displayName" : "Jankbot",
  "dictionary"  : "english.json"
}

To add more administrators, simply add their Steam IDs to the list, separating by commas.

Jankbot shows logs in the command line, but also saves logs in a file called output.log.
