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.

Another possible bug in the "Create Multiple Giveaways" form -- it does not actually create any giveaways! 😲

I get my games and keys imported, all ready to go as usual, click "Create" and the button changes to "Creating..." and that's all that happens. No giveaways are actually created.

In the Chrome console: "Uncaught TypeError: url.match is not a function"

I last used this feature (successfully) about 1 or 2 weeks ago.

Oh great, I'm not the only one. :-)

Mine stops working on a "TypeError: url.match is not a function" error (visible in the web console, FF 56.0). I'm painstakingly doing my train by hand. (Fortunately it's a small one.)

We have some improvement but still a lot of failures (see attachment). The pop-up text onthe failures just says "Error:" for the first row of text, with no actual error mentioned. But it appears these are multiple copies. For example, if I gave 5 keys of the same game (as separate giveaways) the first one worked but the remaining copies failed.

Thanks :)

I don't understand well, they are multiple copies or they are single copies that along with other giveaways you created amount to more than 5?

7 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

What I mean is that I am giving away more than 1 copy of the same game, but not using the option to combined adjacent keys into a single giveaway. So if I had imported 3 keys of the same game it should make 3 distinct giveaways for the same game, each with a different key. I imported 123 keys, for various games, but the total number of unique games was less because some games had 2 or more keys.

For example, my keys to import would be something like

Game One xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
Game One yyyyy-yyyyy-yyyyy
Game Two xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
Game Two yyyyy-yyyyy-yyyyy
Game Two zzzzz-zzzzz-zzzzz
Game Three xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
Game Three yyyyy-yyyyy-yyyyy

And only the first of each game was created successfully (the xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx keys in my example) and the subsequent giveaways failed to be created.

Here is a cropped section of the keys list I was importing for another example, you can see the multiple copies on adjacent lines:

Looking into it.

Found the issue, cg added a block system for giveaways. When you try to create giveaways for the same game that are identical with only different keys it results in the following error:

Error. You already posted an identical giveaway within the past 2 minutes. To prevent double posts, it's been blocked.

I'll have to add a 2 minutes delay between each identical giveaway.

7 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Ah-ha. I was suspecting it might be something like that, similar to the block on identical comments. So some dev doesn't spam with 10000 identical giveaways. In my case I was making them separate because they are DLC and it's easier for support purposes to avoid multiple copies giveaways. Thanks for looking into it!

For the failed (red) giveaways -- if I press "Create" again will it retry them? And not retry the green ones? I'm just wondering if there is an easy way to retry or extract them without going through one by one. :)

7 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Yes, pressing create again should only retry the failed ones. You could use that to create all the failed ones by pressing the create button every 2 minutes, but yeah, maybe in the future it will be better to just put them all in one giveaway so you don't have to wait that long.

7 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Thanks! That seems to be filling out the remaining ones piece by piece. :)

The reason I didn't combine them is because they are DLC giveaways with a high chance of rerolls and chance of low number of entrants.
Rerolls are not possible for multi-copy giveaways if there were fewer entrants than copies, so, to be easier for support to handle, I didn't combine them. :)

In the main page heading (the one that says "Winners") if you are on the "/winners" page of a giveaway, or through the user's profile, in a question mark icon next to "Gifts Won". I believe it's quite easy to find, but let me know if you still can't locate it and I'll try to make some screenshots.

Since yesterday's script update Firefox takes all RAM it can take and freeze. When ESGST is off, it doesn't happen.

Unfortunately it's still happening in the latest.

Opening just a few tabs (say 5) of giveaways pushed Firefox over 1 GB already and all the tabs slow to a crawl, it takes a second or two for them to fully load.

None of this was a problem a few versions ago.

Your script also makes all the cores active on my CPU and uses around 20% to 40% randomly while at supposedly idle state.
I gave up when Firefox reached 12 gbites of ram and migrated all my data to Chrome (thanks for that feature by the way).
Also I was using greasemonkey.

There was a minor GreaseMonkey update yesterday, that might be the cause, I guess.

7 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

I did some quick testing and it's a Greasemonkey update that's to blame.

I downgraded to Greasemonkey version 3.14 and with both ESGST 36.5 and 37.3 everything is fine now.

So one of the two latest Greasemonkey updates must have introduced a bug that causes the memory use to balloon and the CPU to max. I hope there's an easy fix for it.

Edit:

In case anyone else wants to downgrade till the problem is resolved; you can find the older versions here:

I figured so, especially with the upcoming Firefox 57 and Greasemonkey updating to a WebExtension, bugs are bound to come.

Might be a good idea to make people aware of this problem in a pop-up (maybe in the release notes), so that they don't spend a lot of time trying to figure out what is going on.

I didn't have the problem until yesterday when I upgraded Firefox, so I thought it was related to the new version, but I guess Greasemonky also upgraded during the FF upgrade was the real cause of the problem. Luckily I was able to get help on this thread, but not everyone will think to come here.

Thanks for the tip with 3.14. Firefox has been hogging RAM and crashing non-stop for me today and after the downgrade SG already feels a lot more responsive.

Suggestion: I wish there was a fixed "scroll to top" butten integrated to the footer (which I have fixed) or elsewhere to get back up on top of the page quicker without endless scrolling (when also having endless scrolling enabled). Opinions? Questions?

General setting 1.5 " Fixed Main Page Heading" has the scroll to top button, in my opinion that is a more logical place for it than a fixed footer.

7 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Right, that does the trick - thanks. Although it's a little much for my taste. I still would prefer simply having that button somwhere down there (i.e. possibly right above or even in the fixed footer). And the code already is there from the button up there, so I simply assume - I'm not a programmer - that it wouldn't be too hard to integrate.

If you are referring to the amount of buttons Other setting 8.8 "Hide buttons at the left/right sides of the main page heading to reduce used space" can help you out with that ;)

Thanks, again. But it's nut the several buttons in that bar that's too much, it's the whole bar itself that's too much blocking when I only need that one single button. And a "back to top" button simply makes a lot of sense when endless scrolling is enabled (even if it isn't).

It appears to be fixed now, thanks. But it doesn't show all bookmarked giveaways in all pages, it's weird. For example, if I'm on the main page, it only shows 1 bookmarked game on "all", "new", "group" and "recommended" browse options. If I go to "wishlist" it shows all bookmarked giveaways. It also appears to be normal on "discussion".

Any chance of you making the display giveaway description mandatory rather than optional, if for no other reason than to be respectful of giveaway creators?

I don't believe it being shown necessarily results in it being read. If you're the type of user that doesn't bother reading giveaway descriptions you could just:

  1. Enter giveaway.
  2. Wait until the popup is shown with the description and immediately close it without reading a single letter of what is written.

Not surprising, really, but unfortunate that they don't see it as a matter of respecting giveaway creators.

Though I suppose I could give it another try. The way I did it the first time you were forced to read the description before entering the giveaway. Maybe if I show the description after entering, more people would be down with that, because they could simply close the popup instead of having to click a second button.

7 years ago

Yep, plus the popup confusion at first.

I am thinking of making a filter function for simple descriptions like just "good luck" and similar to not get shown. I'd bet that would highly increase the acceptance rate.

I personally would prefer it as "a tooltip" when you hover over the enter button with the description text in, rather than seeing it after the click as a great bit box which i manually have to click to go away.

I had this issue too since the 38.0 update.

And "Train Giveaways Extractor" is working too.

That would require the script to request all giveaways in a page to see if they have a description, which would lead to a huge and unnecessary server load, it's better to only load it when you click it.

7 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Contributor value. It's how much you've given away in dollars. You can see your contributor value in front of your number of gifts sent in your profile. For example, your CV is $327.83 and your real CV is $157.92. Real CV is how much of your CV actually adds to your level count. For example, if you give away a $20 bundled game, you'll get $20 CV and $3 real CV (which is 15% of 20). Hope I explained it well, it's also in the FAQ.

A recent version made exceptions apply to all filters instead of just basic ones, maybe that's what's getting in the way of the entered filter. Do you have any exceptions set? If so, could you temporarily create another preset without exceptions and see if it filters correctly?

Yeah it is the exceptions. I have my normal filtering but i had to add exceptions for group, wishlist and high number of copies games but no they show on my list which they did not do before. Is there any way to hide those or apply some kind of universal "do not show any entered GA's"? :]

With the new override feature you can easily do that. Just make "Entered" a non-overridable filter and it will always filter entered giveaways no matter what exceptions are set.

I noticed that when i entered new GA it disappeared so maybe it does not work on those already entered? But that would not explain why it displays my created GA's though.

When you open a page it doesn't filter anything?

Not yet, been busy the whole day. I have a theory it might be related to Endless Scrolling.

Hi again,
When entering a GA, why the popup is still showing ? or is it on purpose ?

Isnt it the same as the bug fixed in 6.Beta.38.1 ? well, I have the 6.Beta.38.3 and I can still see it like in the pic below

It's supposed to show, giveaway descriptions are now mandatory, but I guess I can add "HB link" to the list of filtered descriptions, since it's quite useless.

Okay, I though so.
Thanks again and keep up the great work :-)

Pretty sure you cannot cover all the possibilities xD
What about making it dynamic so it reads from a user input... Like a black list (with an almost exact matching)

Why mandatory btw? Just curious :]

Yes, something for which I'll gladly take credit/blame.

Even if i am against mandatory one i do understand your reasoning and partially support it even :]

Well we got to live with what we have. I understand the reasoning behind it though.

Two last Q (hopefully xD):

  1. If I win a game, would it be possible to blacklist it (add hide button)) from https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaways/won directly instead of waiting for another sync before similar games are removed/hidden ?
  2. Would it be possible to hide entered GA immediately after entering the GA (or maybe after a refresh) ?

  1. is not needed i think since cg made a change so that you can't enter any giveaway for a game you won before it's past the 7 days period and SG autosyncs every 48hrs now
  2. this can already be done using the giveaways filter

  1. It is needed because you still get notifications about the whishlisted game (if the game was wishlisted).

maybe just filtering them from the notifications would be a better solution, but per what rafaelgs18 said on this issue: https://github.com/revilheart/ESGST/issues/17 I think he probably won't do either(I might have understood It incorrectly).

I just manually sync after I activate a game so that it doesn't show up.

For 2. could you please share a screen of the which settings exactly... I went through the list many times an dperformed many edits but still not working :-/

Enable Giveaway Filters in the settings menu, then click on the "Entered" filter in the filters panel that appears below the main page heading.

I would post a screenshot, but I'm a bit lazy to do that. :P Hope you can find it based on the instructions though.

With enabled 2.16 [NEW] 'Giveaway Popup' giveaway filters stop working for me.

There is no relation between those features at all, I think you got it wrong. But try the latest version anyway because it should fix any problems with the filters.

Tried 6.Beta.38.4

If 2.16 is on then where is the Giveaway Popup button? I'm so confused.

I don't know but it shows when 2.17 is on and in that case filters work fine.

Since the last update, one of my browser process regularly uses up a whole CPU core... Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Wow, thanks, I downgraded Greasemonkey and that solved my problem (https://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/2x2WeGx). I thought the upgrade to Firefox 56 was the cause, but I guess not.

Yup, I had done that already, but I see the 3.17beta1 version fixed the problem, so I just installed that one instead and turned auto update back on. I'm not sure if it will auto update to the next newer release version if you are on a beta version.

I did a "Check for updates" and it did not say there was a new update, so I don't think it will try to revert back to the bad release, and hopefully it will auto-update when they release a newer (fixed) version.

You're welcome, and thanks again for directing me to the solution. I didn't start having the problem until I upgraded Firefox, so was looking in all the wrong places for a fix.

Thanks. Well that wasn't the culprit so I'll be looking into my other extensions and scripts :/

Not exactly, but I've upgraded Firefox to 56.0 and now the script takes a lot longer to run. For instance, if I reload this page it takes about 12 seconds before it is fully completed. If I disable ESGST, it takes less than a second.

With the prior version of Firefox, it took a bit longer to load but only a few seconds, not 12.

I'm using firefox 56, and after today's ESGST upgrade the script completely stops to work. SG pages will only load vanilla. Now I'm thinking about it, the script did upgrade itself during an ESGST sync. Could that break ESGST somehow? How can I fix it?

Greasemonkey.

yes, and greasemonkey 3.15 and 3.16 have a bug that doesn't play nice with most big scripts, you can update to 3.17beta1 or downgrade to 3.14(and disable auto update until 3.17 is released) if you want to keep using ESGST with greasemonkey

Thanks, but, well this is awkward. I uninstalled greasemonkey and installed tampermonkey, but somehow it just refuses to intercept ESGST's install link, and it also can't load the local file after I downloaded the script. Is there any other way do install ESGST?

Oh ok never mind, it fixed itself. Thanks again.
