Steam trading card drop bot
You are my hero! Was trying to farm cards on my alt accounts using my old computer. I'll give it a try tomorrow since Im busy today.
SP3 only got that one, which means bit users are toast as that package does not exist! No gamer still uses XP anyway.. Are you sure that you can't install and run Mono? The latest Mono doesn't support XP, but I found an earlier version, 3. Then a few lines about updates, then "No bots are running, exiting". I tried running the config generator through Mono, but it didn't work. No error, no text at all, just a silent failure.
I can actually straight up run the generator on XP, but it gets errors every time I edit a value, and it doesn't save any edits. At least I got through the tutorial. So I tried editing the "config First I modified the "example. Next I tried making a new. It worked, but now I got a couple of new "Missing method System. Oh well, gonna boot into Linux now and try it there. Don't install wine to use ASF, wine sucks - Linux has native support for Mono in latest stable version, and ASF is natively compatible with it, no need of any extra hacks - even ConfigGenerator works.
Windows XP is simply unsupported by both Microsoft and Mono now. But it also turned out Mint's repository keeps the same outdated version I had on XP. Anyway, managed to get it updated, and got ASF running. Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to use it to take advantage of the new glitched? I'm not basing ASF development on Steam fuckups. You could in theory! Maybe try using Wineskin? So far, so good with WS here, although I haven't gotten my new Alt accounts permissions yet, still waiting for the purchase to go through.
I see that there is also Mono for OSX , it's always better to use native applications rather than emulating Windows ones or using so-called "wrappers". Idle master imitiates launching game process to steam client. My program does not require launching steam client, and the main purpose is farming N accounts simultaneously.
As pointed in the OP, this is useless for you if you have one account only, as idle master does that much better and more user-friendly. But if you have let's say 5 alt accounts, this is another story. Hello Archi, I thought it was best not to use idle master while playing, to prevent vac ban.
Especially if you play a valve game dota, CS etc. Do you think there is the same issue with your soft or can I use it for that purpose playing dota AND farming a bit? I may be wrong, but I don't think you can. ASF was programmed to stop farming immediately if you started playing on the same account that was farming.
But, as I say, I may be confusing things. I'm sure Archi will correct me if I am. On the same machine? You can't, steam client is programmed to be the only process launched.
You'd need virtual machines or other PCs. Here however we don't have steam clients, but something that acts like a steam client when it comes to communicating with steam network. This is whole another story. Wait, won't a program like this encourage abusive excessive farming?
I mean it was still possible before, but would involve way more work.. I guess the best thing to hope for is that it's still not worth the effort. Yep, this is possible side effect. But it will take long time before this thing actually evolves into something that works at least quite well.
Current status is "works for me, probably has many awful bugs, I need feedback". I agree with you, but the market is already saturated, most cards from sometimes-free games are worth cents. People who can spend that much money usually not interested in farming cards.
Strange then, my friend gains cards with no problem in an account made recently which has only gifted games.
GO he's not really into other games and it was me that gifted the game to him and he did get card drops for it. They must have changed it at some point. I have 6 alts who were activated back in the TF2 days as well as 2 more which weren't and they've all idled for cards. My friend is also gain card drop when he was level 0.
I gave him some games, and ask for trading card he got from those game. So I can craft the badge. An error appeared "Exception: Steam API key is used for making trades, you should enter a website linked in the comment found in config and generate one for yourself. You can put any domain, and you'll get api key afterwards.
You put wrong API key. You should log in as your bot in your browser, then generate API key from that account. Only the first is farming for the second account: There are no breaking changes, old config will work. I suggest using appropriate names so it will show up in console properly for you, e. On SteamMasterID it also works if you put xxxxxx instead of http: I tried before your new update, since on steamrep that's the SteamID Reaction to old comment, but how do I log in in my browser as my bot?
And what domain do I enter on the website? Are you seriously asking how do you log in the browser? How the hell have you been using Steam, SteamGifts and the Internet in general if you don't know how to log into a website? I'm asking how to log in in the browser 'as your bot' as said in the instructions.
Don't be such an asshole. I'm right, at least in this case, and it's not really poorly worded, he refers to your alt as a bot because for his program your alt is just a bot, but a bot is an alt at the same time, and an alt alternative account , it's just another account in the end. Log in as the bot as the account and request an API key, any domain that is not already taken should work. So at least one user already got this working, which means I did create something that works not only for me.
P I'm not the only one who's having this problem though: You shouldn't use this at the same time while you're logged in to Steam, didn't I state it very clearly in the OP? It is standalone, and should not be combined with anything using your account in the same time, including your steam client. If it times out, it means that Volvo servers are busy now we all know how awful they are. It will keep trying until it succeeds, so just wait patiently. Very excited to get this working. Multiple PCs and VMs are a pain.
It did saying it was syncing or something like that on a previous attempt. OnConnected Connected to Steam! Mine doesn't say anything after it says "INFO: I thought I was the only one, but well, let's hope Archi knows what's wrong and can fix it easily, bump. Thanks this saved me some time, I was thinking it's about time I added farming functionality to my "bot" since I've got over drops now. This part of the code is unused for now, but might get used soon.
It should prompt for the first one and wait for you to enter it and then prompt for the second one. Now what about the 2 hours limit for card drops? Will it run one after other and take each game 2 hours or can it run for 2 hours all pending games and then run one after other for drops like idlemaster?
Check TODO list on GitHb, for now it works as older idle master, farming only 1 game at maximum until it drops all the cards. Each account must have unique API key generated as logged in bot account in steamcommunity. You can't use API key generated from account1 on account2 and vice versa. Also trading module is a giant hack that probably can be done better, steam is awful at that part development-wise , so it may randomly work or not.
Usually it does work for me. Idle Master is the easy and effective way to unlock all of your available Steam Trading Cards - even from games you don't have installed! Idle Master will simulate you being "in-game" on Steam for each game in your library with available Trading Card drops, and will automatically move from game to game when each is finished. Idle Master is easy to install and easy to configure. Do you have a lot of games in your Steam library that have card drops available, but not enough time to play them all?
How great would it be to run a program before bed and wake up to an inventory full of Trading Cards? That's what Idle Master does.
Idle Master's source code is available for anyone to view. Creating Idle Master was a labor of love. All so everyone can get the most from Steam Trading Cards.
Your Steam account information doesn't leave the Idle Master application, so nobody else can access it. Idle Master was built by Steam enthusiasts using Steamworks and is only available on the Steam platform.
Idle Master includes an easy installation program that keeps the program automatically up to date.
