How to make a steam trading bot 2game idling chat commands game idling and easier login
I don't know if such item exists for now, this is bullet-proofing for future mainly. Wiki quite clearly states that you should not include this unless you understand that ASF can by accident send your entire inventory if e.
Valve starts talking crap and marks all items as unknown. So if you want my strong tip, do not include 0 in the list, ever. I am talking about the risk of getting banned. In the FAQ it said that while it is very unlikely to get trade banned but there is still a very small chance. Actually that chance might be much higher than the chance that you will get banned for using ASF.
I'm not stating that it's safe to use ASF, because nobody can guarantee you such safety. But claiming that there is a significant risk is not true either. But the decision should still be yours, and nobody's else. I can however clearly state that ASF is now being used on over k Steam accounts and everybody but 1 person is fine. I know this was just a metaphor but I am actually very terrified of car accidents and I leave my house much less than I would like to because of them.
I might think about downloading it now. I did not know there were so many other people using it. Worst case senario, I think we would get a warning or unban pretty easy if thousands of people use the program.
It would create a huge community backlash if everyone got banned for having a game they purchased open for a couple hours to get the card drops. Steam has a system in place for restricting card drops, they can change then when it becomes a problem. If anything, they will deal with the developers making indiegames and giving away , copies, but even there, they probably don't care as people are using up steam wallet to create badges which are just digital pictures on a profile. Just started using ASF a couple of days ago and I have to say it is a fantastic tool!
Late to the game here! This is an awesome program in C. How can I tell if it's really working? I logged in to my Steam client and see that my profile is "In Game" but the hours played is not changing. That's normal, steam community is not counting stats in realtime. Give it a few hours , and you'll notice cards dropping, and ASF switching games. I just saw that I had played every game in my inventory. Hi, I've started using this program yesterday or today, can't remember.
There are atm 43 pages on this thread and won't read every post here, Does the program use bandwith to farm? The speed it's quite slow whenver it's farming. It's farming Minion Masters. Could be that it's an online game and that's why is slow?
Obviously read your reply. What ASF does is basically tell the steam network you are playing a game. It is the same for all games. These "reports" are lightweight requests and should not use any significant amount of bandwidth or influence your ping.
Under windows, you can use the taskmanager to tell what programm uses bandwidth or monitor your router. But ASF is really small. I heard that ASF can idle "game time" like putting the account and setting it into -- In-Game Playing "game" seems a little cool so how do i apply this to my bot? Hello Archi, earlier when I was farming cards and I got a new game with cards, ASF immediately checked steam and knew about the new game, but it doesn't work like that anymore.
ASF doesn't check steam immediately. Is it a bug or a feature? ASF knows better than you when it's worth it to re-check badge page for new games, and when it can wait until later. Hello Archi, In your last version 2. I tried to delete the duplicate entries without success, they came back everytime. For my first interrogation you don't answer me, with!
New problem, in version 2. It's named API for a reason. AES is for storing password in the file, not for the process - process must know password in clear text, way of storing is up to you.
Hm, there is indeed something still wrong with that, removing default entries doesn't work for some reason, will be fixed in 2. Now with this version it's perfect, thank you so much. There is a new problem: More complicated, and out of scope.
Can't reproduce, works for me perfectly fine both with manual edits and CG. Maybe you simply set Enabled as false. NET version is OK. The actual bots order for all of the redeeming scenarios is alphabetical, excluding bots that are unavailable not connected, stopped or likewise. SDA is crap, I'm not shocked it doesn't work properly.
Non-root method barely works for anybody anyway, it didn't work even for me, so I'd simply give up. I got it without root. I tried to root my phone with Kingoroot, but for some reason it failed over and over again. Then I found this thread. At first the backup only gave my 1kb file, which is because Steam updated the app to not allow backup. Hey there Archi, I've heard of a program of yours that is able to check if Steamkeys are used and maybe for which game they are?
Is it this tool here? If yes, how does it work, and if no, would you please point me to your creation which does that? You can't check if a key was used without redeeming it but you can know which game is by sending the key to the bot through Steam chat:.
Okay, knowing which game it is would already help a lot. Would you kindly tell me more on how to do it? I see a lot of programmer language following your link, and I'm not familiar with any of that. Like, how do I send the bot a chat message? I would have to add it first, right? How do I do that?
Well, than using the bot makes no sense, as Steam will also tell me what game it is when I redeem it. If it was used, it will show as "Duplicated" with the name of the game with its sub ID.
If you are not familiar with ASF maybe you should read the basics in that wiki, some options are a little bit complicated to understand and to explain here in a few sentences.
It looks like it won't be able to help me then. I got two Steamkeys here of which I'm not sure which one is used or not and which game they belong to.
There's no way to know which of those keys was used, that's how Steam is intended to work. You can't bypass it with third-party software like ASF or any other.
The key will always be redeemed if it was not used before. Unlike Steam, ASF will only tell you what game it is if the key was used, Steam does not tell you which game it was. As you read already, ASF does not include some kind of black magic that allows you to do something that Steam Network does not allow you to do. It can help with redeeming keys, and getting information about them, but it works exactly the same as normal redeem try.
I think something happened to the SteamAPI since I was idling fine this morning until I got a "we can't access to your badges page" or something like that, I forgot to copypaste the message two hours ago and now I get the same message ozo is getting.
If it still happens, save html source from the page where it says that you can earn X more card drops from playing the game, and send it to me on JustArchi[at]JustArchi[dot]net. It should be on the badges page. Via the exe that is with IM or downloading and running the game? Second one is impossible or steamfuckup.
The same as with IM It's always the same time, as you would just play the game. I idled like ish games over the last couple weeks with idlemaster and they all start to drop 30 min. You can not influence that. If there is a difference between programms, you have the wrong setting in one of them.
So i duno if i setup ASF wrong or anything ASF seems more of a thing that people with many accounts to idle would use Im stuck with just No Problem, you can use whatever you want. Are you telling me, you are using IM for your main and simultainiously ASF for you alts or brothers acc? Then I can tell you why ASF drops slower Because your alts are newer and have the "first drop after 2h"-status. If you want just switch accounts around and you will see that now IM drops slower I Idle once a year this account As for my account the alt of my brother is actually like a year older then this account.
It was originally my alt account but i let him use it when i got a dota2 beta pass on it few years ago. I may try out asf on this one , whenever i feel like killing myself again and going trough the torture to set it up again.
Did you refund a game with that account? This "drops" you into the lower class as well. Or got gamekeys removed? Got a bunch removed and am still "good", others got the bad algo after one removed key. Maybe it would not take 2h, but you have complex enabled so all games get idled up to 2h simultaniously. But if a single game is running either via ASF or IM or by playing the game you get all card drops at the same point in time.
No program or anything can influence that. But anyways, if you are fine with IM, then just stick with it. For one account there is really next to no reason to switch ok, auto-pausing and resuming if you play a game, accepting tradeoffers, redeeming keys way easier and some other small stuff, but if you only need it for farming, then it's fine I guess.
The whole auto pausing trading and stuff is so next level As for your question I dont really know Core features Automatic idling of available games with card drops using any number of active accounts No requirement of running or even having official Steam client installed Guarantee of being VAC-free Complex error-reporting mechanism, allowing ASF to be smart and resume idling even in case of Steam or networking problems Customizable cards idling algorithm which will push performance of card drops to the maximum Offline idling, allowing you to skip in-game status and stop confusing your friends Advanced support for alt accounts, including ability to redeem keys, redeem gifts, accept trades and more through a simple Steam chat Support for latest Steam security features, including SteamGuard, SteamParental and two-factor authentication Unique ASF 2FA mechanism allowing ASF to act as a mobile authenticator if needed StreamTradeMatcher integration allowing ASF to help you in completing your steam badges by accepting dupe trades Rebased on.
Do not add me on steam, if you have questions or issues - ask in the thread. Prior to doing so, make sure to read main page and the wiki, especially FAQ. Comment has been collapsed. Im having issues installing or running this, im on windows 8. Did you mark IsBotAccount true? I had apparently not! I could've sworn I had. Apologies, and thank you for the reply. Read carefully, you know where to donate: Merry Christmas and happy holidays.
Is your steam wishlist ranked or just random positions? I didn't see a "run anyway" button. I turned it off in order to use ASF. Sorry, I was blind. Could you describe which kind of issue are you having? Before trying anything else, make sure to install the latest release of. NET Framework if you haven't already. Then, take a look at the wiki, and check if yours is listed among the common issues.
There seems to be a bug with the loot command - it's ignoring one of the Steam Awards cards an alt dropped. I've tried using loot and lootall, and the bot only sends the non-foil cards. This one keeps getting ignored. I'm not sure why. I've had no issues with other cards or boosters. Anyone else have this issue? I used extra time due to Steam downtime and coded this.
That's all fine and dandy, but when will the bot be back online? I pulled and compiled at home without reading the commits, because I was in a hurry before heading to my parents place I tend to keep it sorted, good that you reminded me to ensure that it is - thanks! Yeah, those are games I'd be happy to get eventually in order to play them, I don't want to pollute my wishlist too much, so I'm only putting titles there that I indeed want to play.
And yes, it is out of the scope - you can read my official message in the link above. I added it because people asked me to, I don't really consider it top priority or anything that should be worked on, that's why I coded something that works, and I'll keep it in pre-release, but not in any stable version.
I'm happy to hear that it works for you too, which ensures me that this code is quite decent, even if I don't consider it important. I should have known it was you: However, my Windows 10 is blocking it Windows SmartScreen block. I have turned it off and ASF works fine now. Could an option be added to have the "Sent by ASF" message in description of trade disabled?
It would just be my preference if I could disable that. I was thinking mainly in terms of it being an obvious indicator to valve that I'm farming is all. And you think they wouldn't know otherwise, if they would be interested in this? If you think that they wouldn't know only because you're not including that message in a trade, then you're deeply wrong.
They knew you're using ASF the moment you launched it. And they can ban everybody who ever launched ASF as well. But guess if it's profitable for them to do so.
Openly state to Steam Network that they can tell us to stop the process anytime they like, and openly state to GabeN that if he doesn't like what ASF is doing, he should e-mail me instead of trying to fight with the problem. ASF is efficient, cooperates with the Steam Network, doesn't attempt to abuse it or spam, and is for personal purpose. I have a question: I just not receive about a half of this notifications, like if I got 10 new comments on my profile, I will recieve only 5 notifications.
So the actual question: Like DismissInventoryNotifications do when new item drop to inventory. Or its simply Steam fuckups? Also, maybe someone have this issue too? Tnx for answer s. Regardless if you're dismissing inventory notifications or not, comments should stay in-tact. I do dismiss inventory notifications, but all notifications related to my profile and other threads are in-tact.
So I suspect Volvo happened, or you have something else dismissing it. I have only 2 apps left, what related to Steam: SDA and Idle Master, but they cant dismiss notifcations. And this bug exactly only for profile comments, the rest like trade, inventory, friend invite or comment notifications for something that I subscribed like thread on Steam forum are worked great.
Thanks for answer, hope Volvo fix it For the last day or so, it seems ASF on 2. On boot it gets stuck in a cycle of being disconnected and attempting to reconnect, while I haven't tampered with any of the settings since it was last working. Hmm, didn't seem to have an effect.
I also tried redownloading ASF and setting the config up fresh, but it didn't have an effect for me either. Hello, I've a problem with the login to the main acc 2 twinks are ok. I see an error "unable to login to steam: If it is not set, you will be ask. Then enter the correct password. If you have another authentificator that should not be a problem. You just need to enter the 2fa code in the start.
I dunno what to to, I just see "invalidpassword" again and again. All was ok for a long time, but in the one moment broke. Afted typing and code in asf I can login for the first time, but if I reload the ASF I can't login automatically again. Even cant to type pass ans code. Sorry, I don't know what is it. I saw some new options about password's format, but I did nothing with them.
You have not stored the passwort in the json? So you have these two lines in the BotName. Set your password to null or empty sequence and type it in ASF console once asked. Make sure you have. There should be no problem, as it works for everybody else.
Framework is ok asf is telling me about it every time. If I typed the pass in ASF it works for the first time, but if I reboot the programm I cant login again invalid password. And did you wait 10 seconds to see if you still can't log-in, when ASF attempts to reconnect? I can't see your issue with InvalidPassword there, and error probably comes from invalid API key.
I'm the guy with question Game items are in entirely different category, that is not being fetched, and not going to be - ASF is still for cards farming only, not for inventory management. I simply made it possible to use various combinations such as sending emoticons, backgrounds, trading cards, foil trading cards, and more. I don't know if such item exists for now, this is bullet-proofing for future mainly.
