Enhanced SteamGifts & SteamTrades (ESGST)

An extension / userscript that adds some cool features to SteamGifts and SteamTrades.

If you find any bugs or have any feature requests, please file an issue here.


Compatibility

Tested and confirmed as working:

  • Chrome (since v55)
  • Firefox (since v52)
  • Pale Moon

Not tested but should be working:

  • Any Chromium-based browser (such as Opera, Vivaldi, etc...)

Not supported:

  • Edge
  • Safari

Installation

There are two different ways to use ESGST: extension or userscript. You can choose which one you want to use, but the extension is a lot faster and has a better peformance than the userscript, so I recommend it, although there is no major difference between them, except for a few options that are only available in the extension because of limitations in the userscript.

Option 1 - Extension

It should be possible to install the extension in any Chromium-based browser from the Chrome store (such as Opera, Vivaldi, etc...), any Firefox-based browser from the Firefox store (such as Waterfox, etc...), and any browser that uses the Phoebus system from the Pale Moon store (such as Basilik, etc...).

You can also use the extension on Android through Firefox for Android, but some features might not work or not be optimized enough for mobile.

Option 2 - Userscript

To install the userscript, you must install Violentmonkey, Tampermonkey, Greasemonkey or some other userscript manager first. Then click here and you should be prompted to install it. I recommend Violentmonkey or Tampermonkey, because the userscript uses the GM_addValueChangeListener API to communicate changes in the storage between tabs, and that API is not available on Greasemonkey, so a polyfill is used for Greasemonkey, which is not very effective and can affect the performance.

You can also use the userscript on Android through Firefox with Violentmonkey or USI, but some features might not work or not be optimized enough for mobile.


Beta Versions

The latest beta version for both the extension and the userscript is always available in the latest pre-release in the releases page.

3.26 "Giveaway Templates" doesn't work since the last update of the addon (8.8.8).

Click on the "Select template" button throw this to console:

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot create property 'gameType' on string '['
at Ga.gts_openPopup (esgst.js:88)

Click on the "Save template" button throw this to console:

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: l.push is not a function
at Object.onClick (esgst.js:88)
at async HTMLDivElement.<anonymous> (esgst.js:1)

Does someone have same troubles or its my local issue / incorrect settings? Maybe any method how to fix it?

EGSTS nuked itself two days ago and I had to reinstall. Thankfully I was wise enough to backup my settings regularly, this time.
But somehow ESGTS is unable to fetch tags or Steam ratings now. I see black hourglasses everywhere, the fetching never ends though.
What do I miss? I gave all permissions, API Key is also there.

Hi, would it be possible to add a better way to select regions when creating region restricted giveaways? Ie. I'd like to paste all country codes in a field, so I don't have to search region by region every time.

Thanks. There;s a lot to learn with this extension. I've managed to pin most interesting countries to the top, so creating GA is much smoother for me.

Sorry for the lack of updates in the past few months, been a bit busy, but I'll try to push some updates in the next couple weeks. Some features might stop working when updating to v8.9.0 because rafaelgssa.com has changed to esgst.rafaelgomes.xyz, and therefore you need to grant permission to the new domain.

Having a problem syncing hidden games; I have a lot of them (943), so I left it to sync in the background. After two full days, it still hasn't synced them. Is this just because of the sheer volume of them, or is something wrong elsewhere?

It should only take a few minutes to sync less than 1k hidden games. If it takes longer you probably ran into sg rate limit. Just try again and don't do anything else on sg while esgst syncs your hidden games.

Got the extension in another PC. When I try to sync my whitelist or my hidden game list, these messages pops up:

WARNING: You have synced your whitelist or blacklist in the last 30 days. Please disable it in order to continue.
WARNING: You have synced your hidden games in the last 30 days. Please disable it in order to continue.

I've searched the settings for anything remotely close to disable, but didn't find the config. What should I be looking for?

The options to disable are in the sync page itself. Just disable the switches for Whitelist, Blacklist and Hidden Games.

Oh, yeah, you can only sync these lists every 30 days now, and they do not automatically sync anymore, because they generate a lot of requests to SteamGifts, and ESGST should already update them when you add/remove items to/from them, so syncing them should not be necessary.

Despite having no problems with almost 600 pages of hidden games, It seems esgst is unable to sync 7 pages of steam groups: it just hangs there, even checking the request log shows no activity at all after reaching page 5/6 ยฏ\\_(ใƒ„)_//ยฏ
(and no, it's not the rate limit, since the sync is running right now while posting this)

Have you checked the console log for errors?

If you go to your extensions page and enable developer mode, you should see an option to inspect the background page of the extension. This will bring up a console, and in the Network tab you can see all the requests being made. Could be helpful to find the problem.

I'm not sure if I've done everything correctly, but the one report I got is that chrome-extension://ibedmjbicclcdfmghnkfldnplocgihna/lib/browser-polyfill.min.js.map is missing.

Besides this there just seems to be a lot of waiting.

Should I uninstall and reinstall the extension?

A button to add a custom link on the sidebars would be very good. I usually check region locked giveaways and need to check them through an url every single time. I couldn't find any option to add these links on ESGST or make the sidebars more customizeable.

PS: Tried to add these custom links with the "Add Custom Link" of the "Custom Header/Footer Links" option, but isn't working for me for some reason. When I click on Ctrl, nothing happens.

Is there a way for ESGST to Support the Lootboy SG site?
https://www.steamgifts.com/group/aaQSf/lootboysg

At the moment this site displays me games i already owned, hidden games (ignored) and games i cant enter because my level is not high enough.
I try to find any solution in the settings, but it is always hard for me to find usefull settings in this forest of options.
I've never seen a piece of code with so many options and settings, but it's good๐Ÿ€

How do I hide the pop-up showing me a GA's description? It's very annoying, I don't care to read anything written there as it's usually nonsense

3 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

There was a whole debate about this ages ago, the short version is this addon's creator rafaelgomesxyz and others believe it's rude to enter someone's giveaway with at least looking at the description, so you can't hide them entirely (any more).

But you can filter out some of the common things like "glhf" etc (option 3.11.3, and you can set it to hide repeated descriptions from the same person if you are entering multiple giveaways in a short space of time with identical descriptions (option 3.11.2)

Thanks. I'll try those options. I get the point, and respect it, but well I always found descriptions a bit of a PITA. In my GA I never entered a description and requested users not to thank me or anything, as I always found it offensive that fact that some demanded a "thanks".

Is there an option to enter some "mask" to filter to hide ALL DESCRIPTION POP-UPS?

Maybe a RegEx which matches any string would work. So for 3.11.3 linked above, enter this as filter:

.*

But I haven't tested it, maybe someone else knows more.

It did accept that at one point until restrictions were put in place which in turn lead to JustArchi releasing the userscript version without limitations.

Here's the link to JustArchi's fork, which allows .* as filter: https://github.com/JustArchi/ESGST (Scroll down for instructions.)
Caution: Before you switch to it, it's advisable to make use of ESGST's backup feature.

Rating, Achievements, Trading cards and Learning is fetched from steam and cached for 7 days. Full CV is synced from the ESGST server (esgst.rafaelgomes.xyz) which updates every 24 hours. The info you see is updated once the server has the new data and you sync NoCV/ReducedCV with the server. Banned data is similar. It is synced from steam-tracker.com once you sync Delisted games.

For Effie ESGST shows trading cards because the steam store page shows wrongly that it has trading cards. Reduced CV is shown correctly for me.

Anyone else having trouble to get correct ratings for games? For example when I check top 10 on https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaways/wishlist the only game that was even close on number of reviews was Resident Evil Village. The others have several thousands of missing reviews.

I have tried deleting local storage in console. I deleted cookies for SG and synced ESGST just in case. But it didnt help.

3 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

I just came here to post about this.. Lately, when refreshing the ratings, ESGST has been just taking the "Recent" ratings instead of the "Overall" ratings. For example, the front page currently has a copy of "AVICII Invector" near the top, and it shows a rating of 100% based on 52 reviews. When I go to its Steam page, it has 52 RECENT reviews, 100% of which are positive, but it has 1,223 total reviews, 98% of which are positive.

Some games are still pulling the overall ratings instead of the recent ones, but I wonder if those are just ones that are cached, and haven't been updated since this bug started. I'm assuming the API changed or something, such that whatever method ESGST used is now being fed the wrong values.

There's not much we can do about it. Rafaelgomesxyz will need to update the script to reflect whatever back-end change Steam has made.

To that end, I've submitted ESGST Issue 1732. I didn't have a chance to write it up this weekend when I wrote the reply above. Anyone noticing an ESGST bug can get an account on Github and create an issue report..

After enabling Discussions Sorter go to discussions and you should see a button with an up and a down arrow in the top left. Click on it and choose how you would like ESGST to sort the discussions. Maybe the button with the arrows is hidden behind another button with three vertical dots on it.

the feature reverses the order of the threads inside a discussion page, so if you open the last page of this discussion the first comment will be yours about being unable to sort the comments, while in reality it is the last thread instead of being the first one ๐Ÿ˜…
