Hey archi, i have a question. How to activate more than 107 (bot chat limit, strings) keys for one time. Can will be like the drag and drop a text file with the keys in windows archi and it will be in order to enable them to such accounts or use command like !redeem C:\ArchiFarmCard\keys.txt
Comment has been collapsed.
Either !redeem more than once, or use WCF for that.
Comment has been collapsed.
well, it can be an example? how to transfer 108 keys so that they are activated on each bot
asf --client redeem key1, key2 (but then you need to specify the name of the bot)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, specify bot that has distribute option enabled. You executing !redeem in chat with bot1 doesn't differ in any way from !redeem bot1 sent to bot2.

Thx, i have error then activate all keys:

Can I choose which game I want to idle or this program just chooses one randomly?
Comment has been collapsed.
this is awesome. I got like 5k cards. P.s. I idles 103 games for other people.
But my ask is: how can I create a bot that accept 1:1 Steam card trades?
Comment has been collapsed.
I think it could be nice to have a command who inform about the number of items in the inventory of the bot, in order to check if there is anything to loot. I know I could loot all of them at the same time, but is not working properly for the mobile-protected accounts (the steam android app just accept the trade if the bot account is open).
Just an idea, maybe a silly one. Thanks again for your hard work, Archi.
Comment has been collapsed.
but is not working properly for the mobile-protected accounts
That's what ASF 2FA is for. Besides, if there is nothing to !loot, then ASF will tell you that the inventory is empty, instead of done/trade offer sent.
Comment has been collapsed.
I've read the 2FA and already activated in my other accounts, but can't do that with the mobile protected because I have no root access. However, that's just a minor annoyance for me, I'll continue doing using my phone ;)
Thanks again!
Comment has been collapsed.
Can I use a desktop authentificator without remove the mobile protection?
Comment has been collapsed.
No, unless you extract/copy the "security" steam account file generated on your phone.
That can't be done without root access/unrooting your phone.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, that's my problem. I will change it some day, but not for now. I'm a little bit lazy about it :P Thanks anyways!

Works for me! Can I play on VAC secured servers on CS:GO as an example while idling?

Why sometimes ASF start farming one game and other times start farming multiple games?
Comment has been collapsed.
so if i understand that correctly, for those that are not refunders and can farm the cards faster without the restriction and use the minimalist approach on ASF... my json setup like this okay?
{
"Enabled": true,
"SteamLogin": "myloginidhere",
"SteamPassword": null,
"CardDropsRestricted": false
}Comment has been collapsed.
thanks ^^
just couldn't confirm myself, already had farmed everything prior to the edit. xD
Comment has been collapsed.
np, but remember that it's not obvious whether your account is restricted or not, and it might also change to other variant in future, therefore it's recommended to do tests as I described in the FAQ, even if you're sure that you know better. This is mainly because as I pointed out, setting card drops restricted to false when it's true in reality is much worse than keeping card drops restricted on true even though it's not needed (false in reality).

chroma squad fully farmed in 1.8hours, so certainly gotta be the unrestricted type personally. xD

I've tried this on one of my accs and it worked. Later I added the rest of my accs, one of them requested a key from email, entered it but the program window just got reset and was asking for it again, entered the key again, then it told me it disconnected from Steam.
Now NONE of my accs works with the programm. When I run it, it says the password is incorrect. WUT?! Everything is and was correct but now I get this error with every of my accs. What is happening?

I found already too much time writing the program, explaining how it works and putting all of that online in addition to helping people so they can enjoy using it. Why I should answer you if you don't respect my time neither my polite request of visitng FAQ prior to asking a question? If you found the answer but you don't understand it, then ask specifically which part confuses you, so I can explain and rewrite that part of FAQ in order to avoid other people having the same issue as you.

Hi,
I have
IsBotAccount=true
TradingPreferences=Donations,STM
Jet I get "Ignoring trade" for an AB -> AA trade (instead of decline).
Since I only have like 6 hours sleep left, I won't try to reproduce it on other bots. Can do that tomorrow if needed.
Switching to botAccount=false still ignores the trade.(as it should do)
Local version: 2.1.6.2
Edit: Sometimes I get an "empty queue" in "HandleCallbacks()" when changing a config online. But I have to try out, when and why that happens.
Comment has been collapsed.
And that's correct, because ASF properly assumes that actual status of your inventory might change in the future and the trade that is not neutral+ for you now, might get neutral+ for you in the future. It always worked like that.
Although you're right that for bot accounts we can safely assume that inventory does not change, and issue permanent reject instead. That's misc enhancement though, and definitely not a logic flaw.
Comment has been collapsed.
"Reject the trade if we don't accept matching everything, and it's worse than neutral for us."
"Notice: "Reject" of the trade will be either ignore, or decline, depending on configured IsBotAccount property."
Thats why I got confused. (So basically that case is Ignore always, independent of isBotAccount ?)
I am pretty sure I had declined trades (before the update), but can't remember if they were "just" bad trades or "unfair" ones.
Edit: Unfair trades still get declined, so I guess I never had that case before and missunderstood the wiki.
For the other thing, if I edit a config once, it works fine, as soon as I edit the same config twice (without restarting ASF) I get the following error for each edit (e.g. after the second edit I get two errors, after the third, three and so on) on the restart of the bot.
It does not seem to influence functionality in any way.

The bot now refuses all incoming SteamTradeMatcher offers. It worked up until a few days ago. I tried to follow the wiki to set it to accept every "bad" offer, literally included every combination I could think of, but it still refuses to accept a simple 1:1 same game card trade.

Why you won't use ConfigGenerator for generating valid config?
And of course it won't work, because all of your combinations are wrong. In order to use STM you should have 2, in order to use STM + match everything, you should have 6. CG handles all of that bitwise mess for you with simple checkboxes.

Why you won't use ConfigGenerator for generating valid config?

Use the one from latest ASF.zip.

Ah, so the self-updater only checks the one executable and not the whole deal. Okay, gotcha.

Yes, CG does not get automatically updated, but recent versions of it already include a pre-check that will refuse to edit configs if ASF binary does not match CG version.

Jeha, but from the passwort here was a small stripe visible (from a part of it) and a bit on the top/bottem of the loginname.
People could reconstruct parts of you password with that and maybe (if its a word, or something) find out the whole password).
unlikely depending on your password, but still ;->

Idle Master can't trigger VAC. Unless you're going to use outsider program on Idle Master it's safe. Already been using it for over a year for VAC-protected and non-protected games and guess what - no VAC. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
No VAC yet, the moment you get VAC it will be already too late, and can't is a statement of possibility, which is not true when analyzing the way how IM communicates with your steam client, through hooked DLL library. Saying "it's unlikely" is much more appropriate, saying "it can't" is simply not true. One of the reasons why I created ASF was to ensure that ASF is VAC-free on software level and the way how it works, mainly because IM had still unlikely possibility of triggering the system. I want to have 100% safety, your 99% is not enough for me.
So unless you want to be indirectly responsible for anybody trusting you if your statement turns out to be false, I'd advise you to not spread misinformation, especially in my thread. And I hope for your own good that your statement will never turn out to be a wrong one, but considering the state of IM itself, I'm nearly sure that eventually something blows up and people will wake up covered in crap.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, really only way of not getting VAC-banned 100% is just downloading the game and putting it on yourself without outside programs. ^_^
Comment has been collapsed.
You clearly don't understand how ASF or VAC works if you're stating things like these, and I don't have enough willings to repeat what I said in various different places across last 38 pages, or here. Do yourself a favour and before claiming to know better at least try to do some basic research in the topic you're talking about.
"It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."
Comment has been collapsed.
So wait, you're saying that Idle Master can trigger VAC but it hasn't for some reason? So you're claiming that VAC- system sucks somehow because it just might find an outsider program like Idle Master at some point, and you know it can find, so you're better coder than those who Valve has? Daaayum son. :D
Comment has been collapsed.
No.
What he says is:
The way VAC works there is a (small) chance of IM triggering VAC, since it is another program "manipulating" games and communicating with your steamclient. ASF on the other hand is emulating a steam client and is NOT communicating with your running one, so there is absolutely no chance of getting a VAC ban. Just because the steam client, which could detect a violation (could detect IM) is not involved in any way.
Currently IM seems not to trigger VAC, but a small change in the used algorithm and it may does. Some combination of IM and other stuff my does. Just some unlucky concidence with IM may does.
PS: Seeing what valve pulls sometimes, it seems any fithgrader is a batter programmer ;->

Happy one year anniversary to this thread (and possibly ASF's "official" release). Just wanted to congratulate you, that's a pretty damn impressive achievement. I remember back in the days when SAM was the only idler known. Now most people use ASF. :P
Comment has been collapsed.
ASF is a C# application that allows you to farm steam cards using multiple steam accounts simultaneously. Unlike Idle Master which works only for one account at given time, requires steam client running in background, and launches additional processes imitating "game playing" status, ASF doesn't require any steam client running in the background, doesn't launch any additional processes and is made to handle unlimited steam accounts at once. In addition to that, it's meant to be run on servers or other desktop-less machines, and features full cross-OS support, which makes it possible to launch on any .NET Core-supported operating system, such as Windows, Linux or OS X. ASF is possible thanks to gigantic amount of work done in marvelous SteamKit2 library.
ASF doesn't require and doesn't interfere in any way with Steam client. In addition to that, it doesn't require exclusive access to given account, which means that you can use your main account in Steam client, and use ASF for idling the same account at the same time. If you decide to launch a game, ASF will get disconnected, and resume idling once you finish playing your game, being as transparent as possible during entire process.
Core features
Interesting features
For comparison with other similar programs and further read about the most interesting exclusive ASF features, I recommend to visit appropriate FAQ entry that explains everything in detail. It's also a very good starting point if you want to have a glimpse on what ASF can do, besides the obvious.
Setting up
Detailed guide regarding setting up and using ASF is available in the setting up article on our wiki. It's user-friendly tutorial with helpful screenshots that compacts the whole basic knowledge about ASF into a single document.
