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.

Where to find the "Comment History" button (4.4)?
I have the feature activated for months and now that I can't find the giveaway that I've commented on earlier this morning, I can't find the button to access the Comment History. It's said to be found in the drop down menu next to our avatar but it's not there. Neither on the "Groups" page, nor on the "Discussions" or on my profile page.

EDIT: Neither her on this topic's page where I wrote this comment.

Hello rafael, does EGST's sync function have any affect on hidden game filters?
Here's the situation: let's say you redeem a game (otaku bundle comes to mind). it gets revoked. since it was owned, you may have hidden it for the time being.
How could you unhide games like this, especially if you lose track of the names? Is there such a feature already? I am not sure what it would be called, so I apologize if it's already addressed and I'm not seeing it.

There's a feature called Hidden Game Manager that could help you: https://www.steamgifts.com/account/settings/profile?esgst=settings&id=hgm

Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Hi, yes, I've been using this. But i'm not sure it auto-updates if a game goes from owned to unowned, since it requires you to manually hide it. Is there such a thing, or do I have to wipe all the filters and start over myself?

It doesn't auto update at the moment, but I can see if I can add that.

Is there a way to disable or hide the counter in the Entered Game Highlighter ?

Comment has been collapsed.

Not as an option at the moment, but you can enable the custom theme and use this rule:

.esgst-egh-button {
  font-size: 0;
}

Thanks
But there is also a conflict with another mod "Steamgifts: Look for similar" in the threads and just change the font size for it does not work, i'll just wait for maybe an option or an integration of the function of this mod in ESGST ;)

I don't understand why someone wants to know how many GA they have entered for a game, but that had to be asked.

4 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Weird, I don't see how that simple rule could conflict at all, as it targets specifically the ESGST element.

Someone asked me to implement the counter so that they can know how interested they are in a game by seeing how often they decided to enter a giveaway for it. I guess it could also be useful to tell how unlucky you've been in winning that game. Anyways, it's just a nice information to have and I don't see any harm in it.

4 years ago

The rules don't conflict. It's the counter who conflict with this other mod (By adding a number and the rules won't change this conflict).
Why not just show the number when the mouse is hover the star of the Entered Game Highlighter ?

Bizarre to know that some people are more or less interested in the game because they have entered many or few GA but yes there is no harm to know the number of time you have enter a GA.

Edit: Thanks for the update and the option :D

i'm honest: i've never checked those links / that part.

what about a "monthly calendar" to cover the costs. say, even if in May server costs are covered, we can donate for June, then for July and so on:

May = 100%
June = 75%
July = 0%
August = 0%

( i'm writing this in a very "light" way, cause we're talking about donations. but really didn't liked reading gsrafael01 not knowing what next month may happen. )

I spoke too soon, I've just received the payment from the patron I thought I had lost. Probably just a problem with their payment method. So looks like we're ok. :)

I'll see if I can set up such calendar though, just in case.

I've also been wanting to make a Safari version, but no one has asked me for it, so I'm delaying that a bit. :P Edge is becoming Chromium-based, so I won't have to worry about it anymore. After that, most browsers should be covered.

So, I have the option on to join giveaways right from the main page, but for some weird reason it won't show the 'Enter' button when I try to join 'The Journey Down: Chapter Three' not sure why but it's annoying, any way for me to change that somewhere? or is there a known reason, or?

ESGST could be wrongly detecting that you own it as part of the bundle, I'll look into it.

That policy is old though, and add-ons submitted through AMO are already signed, so there shouldn't be a problem with ESGST.

Don't ask my why but this is the first I've seen of it after my firefox went v. 66.0.3 as well.
Before that everything worked fine, now every add on is down. So no idea :3
You sure they didn't renew or tweak it? cause tbh I'm not up to date with any of it, as usual. o_o also found this but no idea if it's helpfull https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/bkcjoa/all_of_my_addons_got_disabled_and_they_are_all/ kinda chinees to me at 4.30 am so good night/day :)

It's indeed a Firefox issue based on the link Tchii posted (https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/bkcjoa/all_of_my_addons_got_disabled_and_they_are_all/). We have to wait until they fix it, but the first comment in that Reddit thread has a workaround, if you're interested.

As far as you know, all the settings etc should come back when FF fixes themselves?

Yep some incompetent fool broke all add-ons in Firefox. As a workaround I think you can install a developer build instead and disable the setting that requires install signatures for add-ons but I'll wait a bit to see if they can get it resolved expediently.

From Engadget:

In order to be able to provide the fix on short notice, you can check if you have studies enabled by going to Firefox Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Allow Firefox to install and run studies.
You can disable studies again after your add-ons have been re-enabled.

Damn Mozilla just turning off all the addons "to modernize Firefox" lol
How about letting people who know what they're doing just do what they do?

It's like going to your doctor and one day instead of saying "you should smoke less, exercize more and eat better", he sticks you with a needle and tells you "in order to prolong your life, I've decided to put you in a coma from now on"

Yeah, I always found Mozilla to be much more liberal when it comes to add-ons than Google, but recently that seems to be changing.

Well, Google is very hands-on because they like to keep their revenue streamlined but Mozilla nerfing their own (dying) app under the guise of making it "more modern" and "more secure", that's a really bad step for them. The few users they still have don't want to use Chrome but if you give them enough reasons...
