[FEATURE REQUEST] Append nicknames to friends' names (same as Steam client option) about augmentedsteam HOT 14 OPEN

Experimental for now. but feel free to side-load a build for your browser and give it a try: https://github.com/IsThereAnyDeal/AugmentedSteam/actions/runs/10085966694

On Firefox, open about:debugging, should be fairly straightforward.
On Chrome you'll need to enable developer mode from the extension management page, then load unpacked. It's best if you test on a separate browser profile, or backup your settings first.

It was actually about:debugging. Where do I get the extension file from?

edit: I'm assuming it's the bottom of the page where it says Artifacts

This is doable, but in practice the only way to get the user's original name AFAICT is to fetch the miniprofile hover, which may amount to a lot of requests.

https://steamapi.xpaw.me/#IPlayerService/GetNicknameList only returns accountids too, unfortunately.

So not likely?

I don't know how to sideload lol

Hey it worked nice! Thanks for adding it. I didn't see an option in the settings to enable/disable it though. I guess that's for the official release.

It'd be cool if we moused over the nickname part it shows the entire nickname. A lot of it gets cutoff even in the miniprofile.

I tried that but it didn't work. I guess it's being intercepted by the miniprofile hover. Best keep nicknames short I suppose, since there's not enough space to put it on a newline either.

Got it. Firefox only lets me install this temporarily. Everytime I restart browser I have to install it again. I can't figure out an easy way to make it permanent so I'll just wait till the official release with this feature.

Thanks again for adding it.

Something I noticed, if you go to a friend's friendslist and look at the Friends in Common section it still shows their names as nicknames.

from augmentedsteam.

That's because I made it so it only works on your own profile. But yeah it should work on common friends as well, thanks for testing!

And Blocked users lol

We only load features on friends and groups tabs, other tabs are not supported. It's a little tricky to handle navigating between these tabs, so I think it's best to keep it simple for now.

I understand, just wanted to let you know. Thx!
