ASF plugins discussion with poll, questions and giveaway[ENDED].

Reserved for no particular reason

Forever aloe bump.

If you make it, please don't made it publicly available, for the simple reason - it just automatizes abusing mentioned bot. Example - you have 1 set for goocubletes (9 cards on avg) and on that bot you can exchange it for the almost 2 full sets of random digital homicide game (5 cards on avg). Any time I wanted to check that bot for missing card, there was none from sets with 5 cards, there were only non marketable cards for sets with 9+ cards.

I do use ASF, don't currently use plugins but would consider using one if there was a compelling reason.

The set-completer plugin sounds like the one I'd be most likely to use, so long as it had options for same-set only and/or cross-set only for certain games (I.E. the ones I don't care about) and that I'd be able to confirm trades before it goes and automatically shuffles my card library for me :)

Not sure how to talk to a plugin within the syntax, so i just open ASF and let it run to farm my cards.
The Achievement Manager sounds interesting, but there is no point in false responses...

I use for card but i don't want to use for achievement, i want to do it myself

One of the main selling points of ASF over other idlers is that it guarantees not to cause getting VAC banned for some reason.

I've read the disclaimer at the top of the readme file, but I wonder if there is any risk in using your Achievement Manager plugin?

Shameless self-bump!

a plugin eh...
i think since it's used mainly for farming cards, why not make a plugin REDEEM game with cards only
because i usually do that, buy a bundle, only take game with cards myself and gifting "no card" game in SG (if i already have it in my main acc, redeemed game used on bots instead)

I'll give this a bump, thanks for the giveaway. I don't use ASF myself so can't add anything to the discussion sorry.

Automatic booster creator is something I've been wanting for a long time, thanks for that.

I would use such a plugin, but only if it were possible to specify that the card I obtained is from a game I don't have already a lot of cards of: A trade bot with cards from a lot of different games is more useful than a trade bot with 100 cards from Goocubelets 2.
(Also I would need a armv7 version of the plugin, unless the plugin is generic ?)

A similar plugin for cross trades of backgrounds/emotes also would be nice, again with some limitation, like no more than 5 emotes/backs from games for example

Thank you, it's interesting! :)

I think a plugin for "something like vanillabot" would probably be useful for people, but without any evaluation of the trade offer your "good" cards would disappear, replaced with 100% junk. Basically, just like vanillabot. :)

Maybe extend the concept of "neutral" trades from the base asf to account for the extra hassles of non-marketable cards? Comparing the number of cards in each badge, as you mentioned. Suppose a trade is losing a card for set A, but gaining a card for set B. How close are you to set A now, and how close would you be to set B after?

Also, do you want to consider badge levels, i.e. don't accept any cards that would put you beyond the maximum level of that badge? So maybe if you don't have any goocubelets badges, you'd happily take trades to reach level 5 of them all. But once you craft those badges, you don't want them any more.

And just to be more annoying, would you also want to consider if that account owns the game in question? Maybe you are trying to reach level 5 of The Great Whale Road, but you don't own the game. So you'd never trade those cards away for any different set, because you can't create that booster pack yourself.

As for bonus misery, what if the account holding the cards is just storage, and you'd want to check boosters / badge levels / whatever for a completely different account instead? :)

It sounds like a lot of work, and maybe it would help to have options to choose? Maybe some people don't want cards for a game they don't own? Maybe some people would rather trade them for marketable cards so they can sell them? No clue...

I'd probably not use this plugin for myself, unless I could select all the "don't get screwed over" options somehow. :) But thank you for reading all this babbling... :)

Ok, here is a different suggestion! :)

Have you ever tried to find a duplicate card trade for a badge by checking your friend list, i.e. the "3 friends have this card: bla bla bla" thing? Or by using STM? You know, if a trade would help both of you, just offer it without any worries. :)

Sometimes though, a trade would help you but would only be neutral for them. Instead of pestering your Steam friends with trade offers that don't actually help them, you'd prefer to offer that sort of trade to bots.

So, imagine a plugin for that. :) Maybe you could select one of those bots marked "fair" at https://asf.justarchi.net/STM and scan their inventory. Then, offer that bot all the trades that would help you, but would be neutral or better for them? Or I suppose you could be altruistic, and find good trades for them that don't hurt you. :)

By the way, I believe someone's already created this. Occasionally I'll look back through https://steamcommunity.com/my/tradeoffers/?history=1 and see I've accepted a trade from what looks like https://steamcardstore.com/autocomplete - but without having asked for it myself. Sometimes it's helping me, but usually it's just juggling my cards around and helping itself. :)

Thank you / bump! :)

I didn't know ASF supported plugins, and, to be honest, looking at your plugins I don't really know what they do or why I would want them.

But this makes me think that I should read through the ASF wiki pages and try to learn some more about it.

Finally tried the booster-creating plugin, and it works perfectly. This could save a lot of time... :) Now all I need is a way to make gems appear by magic! :)

Thank you!

I want a plugin that accepts 1:1 trades of cards, emoticons, backgrounds. Cross-set, marketable or not.
But only for a defined list of users. :P
