SteamGifts Tools is a tool in a form of a website that lets you do some interesting checks to steamgifts mechanics:

Link www.sgtools.info

Themes

  1. SG Dark Grey Userstyle by SquishedPotatoe thread
  2. Old (deprecated) ones:

User Scripts

  1. SGTools Helper: Help you create giveaways with SGTools typical options and marks protected giveaways on steamgifts giveaway page
  2. Links to user profile: Awesome userscript made by SilentGuy that adds links to the common sgtools checks on a user profile. See his thread
  3. Links on giveaway's winners page. The script will add a sgtools.info link next to each winner's 'Request New Winner' link in your giveaway's winners list, so that you can easily check them for non-activated and multiple wins
  4. ESGST: An all-in-one script to rock your Steamgifts experience. It integrates to and gives quick access to several SGT functionality from inside steamgifts website.

Tools

  1. Check real cv value (as we had in steamgifts v1) and it's level translation with a detailed log of every game contribution and how they add up to the final number.
  2. Check real cv for your won gifts, so you can compare with your send gifts.
  3. Check if a user has activated all his gifts, useful if you want to check a little bit the winners of your giveaways.
  4. Multiple Wins. Checks if a user has won and marked as received the same game more than once
  5. Last Bunled Games. List new additions to the bundle list of the last 7 days with a minimum of 50 entries, showing the game (with a link to steam), the date since the game is considered bundled and the date when it was added to the bundle list.
  6. Create, manage and enter giveaways with more advanced and complex filters than the ones in steamgifts.
  7. Deals and their bundle status

Limitations

  1. Since CG don’t give us an open API, all requests have to parse your full profile to check your sent games, this will take some seconds (more if you gave away tons of games!), so please be patient.
  2. The site uses a cached bundle list, so if you find a recent bundle game that gives you a full value instead of the 15% one, just wait until the next cached bundle list is ready. Cached Bundle list auto-updates itself every 6 hours starting at 3:00AM GMT (3am, 9am, 3pm, 9pm).
  3. The tool will search steam API to get the real cost for packages that has its point value truncated to 50 in steamgifts, but if the package is no longer available the tool will use the points as CV (50$).
  4. It may sound obvious, but the tool can't check not activated gifts if the profile is private.

The Digital Deluxe includes the Tomb Raider reboot along with Rise of and a bunch of DLCs.
https://steamdb.info/sub/90029/apps/

That is what you should have gotten from the win. If you didn't, you should contact the gifter, and they should probably get Support to change it to the correct version they gave away.

I'd like to create a couple of giveaways for someone else's SGTools-protected train. Any best practices / recommendations? Specifically, do I need to create a separate SGTools filter, or can my giveaways just be linked as regular wagons?

Thanks!

Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

There is no way to add wagons on a protected train, and it's the intended behavior of the train.

So unfortunately, there is no easy way to just add them and having them protected by the original giveaway creator. The best practice is to create another gate and he should link that gate at his last wagon.
If you use the same rules as the original entry gate, it should be 2 quick clicks to get in the new wagons.

i'm honestly unsure what the proper procedure is under that circumstance. it could in theory have the giveaway game changed, or could delete, or even just mark it not received if it had been done originally. i'd personally send a trouble ticket in and see if you can get permission to change the feedback to not received since you realized it was the wrong game given to you several months later.. post a few screenshots of you trying to activate the key from the giveaway key-field, and explain everything in the best possible details.. that's easiest on everybody (doesn't require an admin anyways), and if the gifter wants to correct it later, you two can work something out.

Steamgifts has a cached version of all your owned games and whishlist, SGTools doesn't (it may have it in the near future).
Apart from that, SG doesn't use that list much, so even if it is not up to date nothing happens, while it does matter in sgtools for rule checking.

That being said, you must be really unlucky to always find the Steam Api down. It does break several times a month, but it's not that common.

You were given a different game (the free game "Sparkle 2 EVO") from the giveaway creator. Contact the GA creator in the comment section of the GA, tell them its the wrong game and that they should give you a working key for "Sparkle 2". Also, you should mark the game "not received", as you didn't receive the named game.

If you have more than one custom rule, how to separate them? Just a space between them or comma? I'm trying for these:

I've now used SGT once and I've got the taste for it, I want to use it in future giveaways I've got planned but I want to use more options, I got SadisticChicken to pretty much fill it out for me as I'm a total idiot with things like this(ratio = math = unhappy Ally).

Anyway, I'm rambling, I want to add a ratio for "public" GA's but I don't want to fuck over the puzzle makers who obviously do a lot of invite only giveaways, how(if anyone does) do people incorporate public/private CV ratio?
Also, is there any way of seeing a potential "played time" of entrants wins and setting an according rule?(including 2 hours idle time, give everyone the benefit of the doubt)

How do people incorporate public/private CV ratio?

The one time I used that rule for an event I used real_sent_group/real_sent_cv<=0.X. That way it doesn't distinguish between Public and Private as long as there are less than x% group GAs.

It isn't currently possible to make SG Tools checks regarding playtime or percentage of wins played. Some people asked about it so there is some interest but as far as I understand it might not be technically possible with SGT.

What Sundance said is correct.

Use the relation between group giveaways and total giveaways to exclude percentages of group giveaways (the other types are public and private, and that's what you want).

For played time, there is no option to do that, at least for now.

When attempting to enter SGTools-protected GAs I lately get the message "Your account is flagged as having some unactivated Wins or your profile is Private." However, if I check for unactivated wins on the SGTools no games show up as unactivated, and my profile should be non-private. Any ideas what is happening?

It was a wild card invite, similar to 170..180 && num_won in 144..156 && level>=7.4 && level<=7.7 but with different numbers (which unfortunately I didn't save). The intended user couldn't pass, until I changed level>=7.4 && level<=7.7 to level>=7.40 && level<=7.70. Does this make any sense?

I think it depends on whether or not SGTools rounds or truncates. If it rounds:

One invalid entry on giveaway 5f6e1ea5-c64f-11e6-a3ca-fa163ee2f826

The user only has a single friend on Steam who joined that same giveaway a minute before. I think it's safe to assume that's the source of the leak. (And possibly an alt account.)

In my last SGTools train (a83ffb89-bfbd-11e6-8fd3-fa163ee2f826) I had 9 invalid entries on the train entry GA and still 5 of them at the other parts. How does SGTools determine this? Does it check in a database if the users had ever been logged visiting the SGTools site leading to the giveaway? Since cookies and cache wouldn't be reliable.
I'd like to know this to weigh on blacklisting these users. And sorry if it has been already explained, I didn't check all pages. If you don't want to go too much in detail, I'd also understand.

Oh, and of course, this is also a report. ^-^

7 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

SGTools stores in the database every step that a user does on a SGT giveaway page. When you ask for invalid entries, it simply compares all Steamgifts giveaway's entries with valid entries from the SGT giveaway page.

Every entry that is not recorded as a valid entry on SGT database is flagged as an invalid entry.

Unless you've directly given them the url, they are trying to bypass the system. If you want, I can issue infractions to them, just tell me here and I'll proceed.

As pizurk said, those are games you won here and didn't activate on your account. You should read the FAQ: "if you win a game, it must be activated and redeemed to the Steam account used during registration".

It seems you won the same games you did giveaways for. There's no rule against that, as long as you give away a second copy you buy yourself, and activate the copy you won.

It should display deals with 50% or more. It can fail to gather some, since Steam is unstable and can fail to deliver the whole information (and the problem gets worse during sales).
