Ahhh if only it were that simple. The required patch is a lot more than just editing friends.js. friends.js is the only existing file that needs to be modified. But the patch also needs 106 additional files in order to work correctly. They just don't overwrite/modify any other existing Steam program files. I left gratuitous comments in the patch files, so you can take a look at the files if you're curious how the patch works.

My patch will be available sometime later today or tomorrow probably (gmt-5), after I finish creating a text steam guide and a tutorial video that both show how to install the patch. Please do include either or both of them in your guide so everyone can find it. Thanks!

Hello

Impresive work, 106 files ....So thx again for all your work and effort @TiberiumFusion

hello

great news !

hello

Let's hope you will be able to give a viable solution for all steam release and all case ( bigpicture mode , large and mini )
But the change has not been made locally but in the backend side as many of us allready used a steam.cfg ,trough js file. https://steamhost.cn/community_cloudflare_steamstatic_com/public/javascript/webui/friends.js?v=Oy7EJLTwcDt8 is not the same as the one we are using locally and so no clue which one has been passed trought the websocket loopback (https://steamloopback.host/friends.js ).
as exemple, the friends.js used.

Noted also that bigpicture mode does not use local friends.js
SP Shared JS Context-'SharedJSCo': ERROR: https://steamloopback.host/library.js:2: TypeError: Cannot read property 'GetLocalAvatarBase64' of undefined
normal it does not even exist in friendsui.dll as we only get WebChat.GetLocalAvatarBase64 inside the dll and not GetLocalAvatarBase64
When going on bigpicture using -nofriendsui , just noticed that ( weird may be truncated on log ,..)
Seems the loopback websocked is been used for bigpicture mode

Nontheless i think most js files on hdd are more for some offiline purpose more or less,
The steam;//connect/friends does not work anymore as exemple and same for group chat because they changed something on backend (js file )side and surelly did not expected this kind of drawback even with the last beta.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/groups/SteamClientBeta/discussions/0/3020122487772983868/
i surelly can test the beta using my sandbox but i am too lazy to do a backup of it and redo some test with it and it will be useless imo
Anyway my journey into this wasn't uninterresting as i discovered that even without changing anything locally but just updating the js file of the cdn that has been exchanged with the current client, valve can change the way the client was working : they don't need to change "infrastructures" to do that, and now i am more anxious by the following ....

hello

Yes the other solution is to not rename the package folder and a comment to the version line inside steam_client_win32.manifest like #"version" "1694466342"
and package version ( about steam) switched to "local"
But again in this case the chat in bigpicture mode does not work
I also noticed a difference between both mode, with and without -nofriendsui in term of network :
-nofriendsui does not make a call to steam chat
when without
https://steam-chat.com/chat/clientui/?l=french&cc=FR&build=1694466342&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamloopback.host
the version number is passed to the loopback ....

hello

Sorry english is not my main language but what do you mean by pwa ?
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps that ?
Good to hear you are making progress on your side. i wasn't able to override steam to use the friends.js or clientcom.js i wanted myself unfortunatly...
This also mean it won't work after a certain release because of changes made inside dll..
There is still some data i wasn't able to decrypt (hashed name file) from the history may be nothing but i will continue to check.

That's apparently included in React itself, it's a JS library for "modern" user interfaces developed by Facebook for soydevs :thXD:

Hello

I also add, as I notice it only now, while I have a basic chat fonction, besides group chat no working through chat windows, I also noticed that I can't see on Library if I have a contact who play X games I have installed as well as friend's activity. So I'll have to look inside my chat list more often I guess.

Hello

Yes there some side effects but at least no need to use bigpicture mode just for chatting with your friends.
