ASF is simply waiting for your bot to gracefully disconnect.

ASF has been trying to farm this unreleased game for most of the day: http://store.steampowered.com/app/575580/. Seems the unreleased game detection is not working 100%. Yes, I have had the latest version since yesterday (2.2.1.6).

It happens some times (I remember Reptilians Must Die and Balloon Popping Pigs).
Just add them to your blacklist and remove them when you can buy them on Steam
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, but the new update was suppose to solve this so that you don't have to blacklist manually.

The new update also broke several things because of this.
Check if you can reproduce with latest stable 2.2.2.1.

Then maybe you should read entire changelog and not part of it. Or find out yourself what !status ASF does.
Comment has been collapsed.
Removed !*all commands, such as: !lootall, !statusall, !startall and !ownsall. Use newly-introduced multiple bot targets, such as !status ASF for previous !statusall.
Removed !lootall and !ownsall commands, use !loot ASF and !owns ASF instead.

Suggestion:
Hello Archi,
Can you implement 1..10 work as 1, 2, 3, ..., 10 (inclusive range of numbers) and Botname1..10 as Botname1, Botname2, ..., Botname10 (also same pattern working with "Number..BiggerNumber" like 1..3Bot or B1..5ot) ?
Example:
status Archibot1..21
Bot Archibot1 is not idling anything.
.
.
Bot Archibot21 is not idling anything.loot 1..5Botname
etc..
I think that would be a lot more convenient to use with the new changes to the *all commands, especially considering a lot of people just use a range of numbers to name their bot configs.
Comment has been collapsed.
This is valid suggestion but it's hard in implementation. You can always keep your bot names and copy paste them. Or if you want to execute on all bots at once, you have ASF keyword for that, as stated in changelog and wiki.
Comment has been collapsed.
Let's say you have 100 bots, want to run !loot command 5 times on 20 each time.
Copy pasting bot names won't be a reasonable alternative for such numbers and running loot on all at once is not the best option either. Well you don't even need to have 100 bots even for 20 or less during steam f*kups like big sales etc network can be a mess and you'd like to run commands like loot for a small number of bots each time.
It's allright if that's hard, while suggesting I thought that'd be quite easy to do, something like an easy string manipulation etc since you already changed the command pattern to accept multiple botnames.
Comment has been collapsed.
You could do something like
Archibot{1..21} or Archibot#1..21
or so. this way you have a unique identifier, when this is used and parsing should be easier.
you then could evaluate regex or arithmetric patterns as well ;-)
PS: mathematical default for continuing lists is ... (3 dots).
Comment has been collapsed.
This actually complicates the entire thing even more, and Regex is definitely out - there is WCF for advanced scripts supporting.
This is simple enough and doesn't cause headache - I'm only not sure if I want to stick with .. or ... - .. is better as 3-dots is sometimes "special single-character" in some languages (I found it out during localizations), and it could not work with ASF detection if somebody used that instead. So I prefer to keep ".." for now.
And I don't want to over-complicate it either. I can find usage of "..", but regexes and advanced stuff is really out.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ruby uses .. two dots in a similar way
(1..10).each { |n| puts n }
But you are right about the unique identifier. If someone has ((Random number) + offset) 1991 1962 1903 1804 1115 2216 etc for his config names for whatever crazy reason unique identifier can be the solution.
Comment has been collapsed.
I implemented it in totally different way - I sort bots alphabetically and use range from first bot you specified to the last one you specified, so if you had bots like: 1, 2, 3, A, B, C - you could specify !status 2..B and it would work too. This way it's far more flexible than any identifier.
This is also why this implementation is slightly different from your idea - you'll need to do !status bot1..bot4 - but it also allows more flexibility and custom string ranges that wouldn't work otherwise.
Comment has been collapsed.
Indeed! I am testing it right now and can confirm it works! number..number or name..name , number..name, namenumberMix ranges work.
Yes after your message, I saw it. Your implementation splits bot names from .. takes them as full names without making changes on the names. So instead of 1..3Bot, 1Bot..3Bot works. or instead of B1..5ot, B1ot..B5ot
Simple and effective I should say. At worst case, the user needs to change his config names accordingly for the optimal experience.
Thanks again Archi!
Comment has been collapsed.
And changing configs is much better than implementing regexes or very advanced algorithms - the way it's right now also makes me happy code-wise, as I intentionally don't want to pollute my code too much. I'm happy with such small addition that fits its purpose, so thanks for nice suggestion as well!
Comment has been collapsed.
That with regex or arithmetric was actually a joke ;->
I suggested a unique identifier, since "Hello..World" is a valid botname, if I am not mistaken. So that might cause problems if someone actually named a bot that way. But you are right. As soon as you move away from "standard" letters, you run into language problems.
And jeha the special ... is indeed a problem. guess thats why ruby uses 2.
Maybe ":" would be better (thats matlabsyntax btw). At least under windows, thats an invalid character.
Doing it the way you did is indeed way more flexible and robust than anything else (ok, not more flexible than regex ^^)
But !status BotName{[0-9](a|bc)[0-5]+} or !status BotName{floor(log(sin^2(5+1:20)/2} would indeed be ... something ;->
Comment has been collapsed.
Actually not a problem, because Hello..World would not evaluate into a bot named "Hello..World" ONLY if you had both "Hello" and "World" bots, if you have "Hello..World" bot alone, despite of valid names, ASF is not capable of finding "Hello" and "World" bots, so it evaluates it like normal.
And if somebody indeed has "Hello", "World" and "Hello..World" bots, then he has a problem :3. ':' would not solve anything either, as it's valid character for unix IIRC.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah, indeed. Overlooked the conditional.
Ok, guess if someone really has 3 bots named after that pattern, he can not be helped.
Now I just need to create more bots, to really use that feature ^^.

Thank you for this tool, I'm giving it a try. I'm still a bit scared about getting in trouble with Steam, that's why I've never idled before. Anyway this seems to be the tool with the least risk out of all the other idle tools. It's currently busy farming, it says it will need 152 days and four hours to farm 7052 cards for 2015 games.. ;-) Waiting to see them cards coming in without actually having to download and run all these games!
Comment has been collapsed.
I can never offer legal advice, but I can always offer some statistics - ASF group has currently over 130k members, and probably at least 50% of entire idling population is using ASF (no real statistics here, just assumption). Chances that Valve will ban everybody with no explanation or a warning first is very, very unlikely. Just make sure you're using up-to-date version (currently 2.2.2.1) and everything should be fine!
Have fun!
Comment has been collapsed.
It's running just fine! Although it still estimates it needs 152 days, I guess that's because I'm collecting games faster than ASF can idle xD I've send you some gems, hope you'll appreciate. :)

Would you kindly add aliases for these two very frequent commands:

You can either compile yourself or use old ASF.
But since the botlist on start is loaded buttons are enabled and you just can not use the refresh or #all commands.

I am sorry if it seems stupid, but i understood everything els but that LootableTypes part.
Comment has been collapsed.
If you remove 1, 3 and 5 types from LootableTypes, then you'll have empty collection [ ] and empty collection means that ASF will not loot anything, as there are no defined types to loot.
Comment has been collapsed.
I see, its just that i recieve Cards and when some time passes its like they disappear? I dont understand that and it makes me feel abit uneasy using the program.
I tried checking if it was Steam or the Program, but it only happens when i use the program, i get Cards.. my inventory increases and some hours later i have the same inventory amount so im back where i started?
I will try and write Down the Cards i get this time and when my inventory gets lower Again, i will try and see if i can see if i still have the Cards i looted, because its just weird.
Edit: P.S. What happens to the loot, if it does not get looted by ASF? Will the Cards just not arrive in the inventory? and will it just empty the account from available Cards? In the end, unlocking all games, but getting no Cards?
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok. So here is how it works:
- ASF plays a game for you and steam drops a card (as it would if you play the game yourself)
- The card stays in the inventory of your account / your bot, unless:
- You have loot on farming finished (bot sents cards to master after finished)
- You use manual loot (bot sends cards to master)
- You sent the cards away or sell them manualy.
So there is absolutly no way of cards just vanishing! If that happens, Check your trade and market history. The cards have to be somewhere. ASF can NOT delete them or stuff.
Only thing that doesn't show up anywhere is turning into gems, but ASF does not do that.
PS: There is some rare case of steamfuckup, where certian items in your inventory are not shown by steam for a while. Thoose appear later again. But that happend to me once in like 5 years and the items "vanished" for like 2 hours. So thats rarly an explanation.
Comment has been collapsed.
To @KlappPc
Thanks for the explaination, thats also how i thought it should Work, so no matter what, i will always be able to see if a Card earned on my account leaves in any way by trade or given away, no other explaination can explain them disappear otherwise, there should always be trace that i can use to see where things went, right?
I am not saying ASF is doing anything wrong, it seems to be working perfectly as it should, but i am more believing Steam is doing something atm that i cant explain, must be Steam thats playing tricks on me!
Again thanks all for helping, i feel like i have gotten a bigger understanding of how things work now, atleast on the part i was unsure about.
+
LootableTypes 1, 3 and 5 is purely mainly used in a case, when you have bots(more accounts) so they will send the appropriate Cards or things to the primary account? So that means that LootableTypes 1, 3 and 5 is not really used, if you only have 1 Primary and no bots? Just to remove any confusion.. right? ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, if you have only one account, the command !loot and all settings for that are not needed.
!loot loots a bot account and sends the specified stuff to your main account.
Comment has been collapsed.
Pretty sure you're not losing cards but ASF does dismiss notifications that you got new cards (unless you set it up not to) but the cards are still there in your inventory. Could that be what causes confusion ?

No, forwarding works like usual. If bot is not forwarding then perhaps all other bots already own given game and there is no point in doing that.

Most likely incorrect settings - I suggest to launch ConfigGenerator and ensure that the bot you're sending the key to has forwarding set in TradingPreferences.

Maybe you mean RedeemingPreferences and not TradingPreferences? I re-enabled Forwarding in every bot configs via ConfigGenerator and tried redeem key for another game.

Hi! I have a problem with the last version. I activated two keys for a game with cards, in two different bots; one of them started farming inmediately, but the other bot just activated it, it didn't farm the cards. When I asked for the status of the "lazy" bot, it says there is nothing to farm, but I know this is not true. What can I do? I have been looking the FAQ and the forums but found nothing.
Also, my ASF has been closing by itself lately, and I don't know why. I have the latest version, the Net Framework… and I can't see any error message in the console. I have been thinking about download the full latest release (not just the ASF.exe file) and copy all my config files. Would this give me any kind of "sanction" in market/trade?
Thanks!
Comment has been collapsed.
It's weird,I have been looking the profile account of the bot who didn't farm the activated key. It says it has played a few hours the game and have no available cards. But I activated the key just two hours ago. I don't understand this. In any case, it's not an ASF problem. Maybe it had the game after but it was deleted from the account? Have no idea.
EDIT: Ok, I know what happened with that game. Here

You can try latest pre-release, I fixed some crashes. And yes, without logs I can't help you, but every crash that happened so far had its reason in the log - if ASF crashed without writing in the log why, then very likely it was not ASF crash but something else killing the process - such as your AV.

ASF accepted a trade automatically yesterday. a guy sent me gems for some games. since i didn't know the trade was accepted, i waited for him to send a trade offer, and he waited for me to send the game. it was a stupid situation. i am pretty sure i did not configure that.

Well newer one tells you at least, if he is outdated.
The thing is many people do not use the config generator, so updating it every time, would create unnessecary bandwidth or even create that file, if they deleted it on purpose.
And archi said config-generator will be removed entirely once, ASF-GUI is completed, so I doubt he will spent time on this.

Maybe not entirely removed, but deprecated for sure. CG was only meant to be a simple app that helps with generating configs, so people don't need to do it by hand.

Imo changing default property of AcceptDonations to None was counterproductive. Compared to setting it to none for only main account (which is not even needed unless you are actively trading), now it has to be set to AcceptDonations for x number of bots.

Not really, I changed it to how it worked previously before API key was automated. I don't want to make people wonder why ASF automatically accepts trades from other people.

I noticed registering too many API keys makes Valve completely ip-block access to the api-page with
You've made too many requests recently
(on the 10th try to be exact)
Some additional delay there seems appropriate :3
Comment has been collapsed.
ASF does not register API key unless it needs to, and this is not really different from attempting to log in on too many accounts at once, so I'm leaving it for user to handle, same as number of bots.
Besides, I prefer to throw an error and let you know that registering API key failed, rather than silently hiding that info making you wonder why your bots are not responding to trades. ASF hides only what it considers absolutely useless, misleading or simply false.
Comment has been collapsed.
It is an expected failure which could be avoided through rate-limiting is all I'm saying ;-)
Doesn't need to be silently hidden but can show up as a message "Maximum api registrations reached, next try in x minutes" or similar.
No need to openly run into that blocking scenario :3
(Do you want a Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 beta code?)
Comment has been collapsed.
No, you can't avoid this - it's enough to restart ASF in order to reset all semaphores, and I won't bother saving state in any form of persistent storage. Not only because it's stupid, but also because ASF is not the only one that can register API key, and having a saved value that is invalid is more stupid than no saving at all.
Moreover, if Valve ever changes that limit, it'll be even worse than currently. For the same reason ASF doesn't enforce any limit of active bots, any delay of logging in, any delay of fetching inventories and likewise. I'm not going to guess how many calls you made and how many more calls are possible - especially because registering key is one-time thing. It's clearly stated in many places that if you use excessive number of bots then you should ensure yourself that they're working correctly. I won't outsmart things that are not supposed to be.
(No, I don't need it, thanks)
Comment has been collapsed.
won't bother saving state in any form of persistent storage
Never said to do that
if you use excessive number of bots
I don't think the problem threshold here of just10 is excessive though ;-)
if Valve ever changes that limit, it'll be even worse than currently
Doesn't that apply to basically everything though?
doesn't enforce (..) any delay of logging in, any delay of fetching inventories
huh, but those 2 actually have limiter settings available, and they are set at, guessed or tested, reasonable default values for exactly the same reason that, w/o those, blocking would happen there too.
Honestly I don't understand why you argue so heavily against it.
To compare, if there was no log-in limiter present, it would force the user to manually start each bot with a delay to not get blocked too. Which is certainly not an optimal procedure.
It's the same with registering API keys with the exception that 'the work' can be done manually beforehand instead.
You are right that it's a one-time issue, as such rather low priority and I wasn't even so keen on it being resolved, was rather more notifying about it, as I assume some others have/will run into it.
More-so I have a more important general rate-limiter concept idea for all all commands (or the new ASF notation) to cover cases like these
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/ascfarm/discussions/1/152390014803057505
where the owns command essentially becomes deadly and kills of entire bulks of accounts for longer time periods when used with higher amount of bots, with the most worrying part that the number where it starts being problematic isn't revealed by anybody anywhere.
(and to pickup a detail of that thread before it becomes the wrong focus, as it wasn't an ownsall command there but a single own issued to all bots simultaneously: ofc an asf-instance wide rate-limiting can(should) be included for that command too then.
Similar for loot/lootall and so on)
Otherwise the user basically gets locked out of using those commands (or faces virtual death xD ) which doesn't seem to be a desirable state.
And, I'm not sure if it's the case, but somehow I get the impression you feel attacked, which certainly isn't my intention ^^
I'm just trying to make useful suggestions :3
As a form of conciliation, I suppose your farm is already saturated on woodle trees and deers, right? May I offer you a Masked Shooters 2 then? ヾ(^ω^*)

Hey. Hope this is not too dumb. Well, but me just being dumb would probably be the preferred outcome as it would be on me :-)

When you're configuring an alt account, or you're going to execute commands that relate to this bot instance, this property defines steamID which is allowed to control the bot. ASF will also accept friend requests, chat invites and all trades sent by SteamMasterID

Yea, but this was a trade sent by a bot to the Master account, not a trade sent by the SteamMasterID
Comment has been collapsed.
Not possible and doesn't make sense - if you !loot your bot, then you expect to receive and accept the trade, and if you need to review what bot has sent, then you can do that in trade history.
AcceptDonations option affects only strangers, as in - accounts that are not being part of ASF process.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, so there is no way to have no trade whatsoever automatically accepted on my main?
Comment has been collapsed.
Well I'm asking since that was how it worked until few days ago. Oh well, I guess I will just have to check the trade offer history few times a day to see if anything new came in. Thanks for bearing with me:)
Comment has been collapsed.
It was working like that since a few versions already, you're simply affected by the fact that you didn't have API key set previously, and now every bot has one set automatically.
Like I said, you have trade history, and you can configure your bots to issue !loot only when you ask for it, not automatically, so there is never any trade silently being accepted. If you execute !loot, you have an intention of sending a trade, so there is no reason to not accept it right away, especially because you have a trade history. If you do not want to intentionally accept that trade, then probably !loot is not what you should use.
A real "workaround" for this issue is to isolate your main account from your bots, by launching 2 ASF instances, then your primary account will no longer see other bots taking part in the ASF process and treat them like strangers that are affected by AcceptDonations.
Still, I don't suggest going that way. Launching more than 1 ASF instance per IP is something bad in general.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh okay I will deal with it. The advantage was it showing as a steam notification, now I have to not forget to check the trade history page ;_;
I might have Task Scheduler open the website at some intervals, that could be a solution for me.

Adding 100 bots in one go and letting them all register for API key at once is a bad thing, yes. Running 100 bots with key already registered is not any different from having 100 bots with API key set in the config. And you know that ASF registers key only once, and only when it's required.

And as you can see from the comments above - now you can't avoid automatic accepting trades from bots, like you could before by just not setting api key.
Owners of 100+ bots will be thankful though, as that's -1 step to configuration.

Which is a valid enhancement that should be resolved with TradingPreferences.DontAcceptBotTrades, not worked around with removing another improvement.

Hi again!
My ASF is still closing, I don't know why. These are the last lines of the log file. Bot names have been modified. The language has been set in spanish, I tried to put in english but I get an error.

After update, I got this from my antivirus (Avast).
Is this just me, or someone else also got this?
Version ASF V2.2.2.3

Probably because file is too recent and AVs didn't have time to scan it yet. As I usually state in the wiki, it's suggested to scan ASF binary with VirusTotal (or any other web service like this) if you're afraid of it.

Yep, I know, just want to inform you about this ^^

I trust Malwarebytes and it never complains about ASF.

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.
