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.

Hello revilheart, I wold like to suggest if it is possible a new feature that I think many wold use it:
When i reserve a bundle, I like to hide all the games from it, so i don t enter by mistake in those giveaways for games that I will activate later.
The problem is, not all the games from those bundles are in giveaways...
Is it possible to add them in the filter with out actually see a giveaway made by someone?
Thank you very much for this great add-on ^_^

Same account, I hide all the games from Flaming Indie Bundle because I own them on my laptop.
I've made a back-up of the ESGST as usual, and put it on my Dropbox.
Got home, and imported the settings (merge) file on my PC, the games from Flaming Indie Bundle are not hidden :(

Hi revilheart, what would be the exclusion rule so that a feature is not loaded only in the main page?
if the answer is "^/"(that's the rule i get when i click "add current") than there may be something wrong in the parser or that should not be the rule(i think this is probably the case) as it disables it everywhere.

this just became necessary in the latest update (7.19), as the divisors started appearing in my main page, instead of just in all the other pages as they doing previously

5 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Probably because there was a bug with the persistance of the divisor setting and it was fixed in v7.19.0.

To exclude only the main page, you have to use this:

^/($|giveaways(?!\/(new|wishlist|created|entered|won)))

I'll fix the "Add Current" button to add that in the main page.

Bug report time:

the extractor when loaded in a new tab is not showing the categories, enter button, etc and is also not filtering the giveaways

this error shows up a LOT:

Error: Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist.  RequestGuard.js:280:7

it seems related, not sure how

also some of those:

Unchecked lastError value: Error: Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist. eventPage.js:8

this one i'm sure that come from ESGST as this is the sub information: sendMessage/</< moz-extension://a4f0842d-2aed-4d94-a9f5-cbb61cea5f14/eventPage.js:8:13 for that error, the UUID(a4f0842d-2aed-4d94-a9f5-cbb61cea5f14) is of ESGST also not sure how it relates to the bug

the request guard one also shows up in the home page but i didn't detect anything not working or working incorrectly

Firefox 60.0.1 64 bit
ESGST 7.19.0
Windows 10 '1803' x64

edit: it started 2 or 3 version ago, i'm not sure. I didn't have time to do a proper report before😅

Two things worth a mention

  1. Encountered an odd bug today when I revealed a won key, and many many worlds appeared in the blink of an eye

They kept spawning endlessly, one after another, in perfect symmetry, reflecting the scope of our infinite universe and its most wondrous beauty.... but also making it really hard to ever catch up with the key I needed to redeem. After I refreshed it all went back to normal though.

  1. Of even greater importance..... how do I make Game Tags stop showing up on RaCharts? I couldn't find any settings to make it go back to normal without disabling them entirely, or without turning off the extension on every bundle thread.

I love the tags for the giveaway system, but they're awful for RaCharts by just cluttering things up mostly with the exact same information and without any of the elegance. The crisis of infinite earths bug (whether a one time occurrence, a conflict, or even perpetual) isn't as bad in comparison since its super easy to just refresh when it pops up.

Recently I installed this script on a new PC after using an outdated version for a very very long time. Is there no way to hide single GAs (not all GAs from one game) anymore or am I just blind and can't find the setting or am I crazy and that was an option from a different script in the first place?

The Whitelist/Blacklist Highlighter doesn't work at all for me. I don't see the icons or the highlighted
background/text (having an option to display both the icon and highlighted background/text would be nice). I did sync the data before trying it. I'm using the Firefox addon not the script.

Also can you add the highlighted background/text option to "Giveaway Copy Highlighter"? I still fail to notice the red text because I usually look at the thumbnails on the right as I scroll and don't pay as much attention to the text on the left.

Can you check the includes/excludes of the feature? When you synced your data did you make sure to enable whitelist and blacklist in the sync options?

Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

I guess it didn't sync properly last time even though I had WL/BL enabled in sync and in the settings. I synced it again and now it works.

Is there a feature where if you go to someone's profile it tells you if you won a GA from that person or they won from you? Sometimes I WL someone and don't remember the reason. If I went to their profile and it shows me I have won a game from them that would be helpful. And I think it would make people act nicer in general. For example if you won a GA from someone awhile ago and forgot about it, then later on you won another one and you visit their profile and you're like hey I've won multiple GAs from this person. Maybe I'll WL them. That would be nice I think.

What do you think about my suggestion for "Giveaway Copy Highlighter"? (having it for User Tags would be cool too).

Thx for the addon. This is like the most amazing addon for SG ever!

User Giveaway Data has that information, but it's not immediate when you visit someone's profile (you have to click the button and let it scan all of the user's giveaways, and in the end it returns a list contaning all of the creators that the user has won from, and a lot more information, then you could search for your username in the list to see if they have won from you, and vice-versa).

I'll check the suggestion later. :)

Giveaways Won has a list of users but Giveaways Sent only has a list of games. I can see if he's won from me but I can't see if I've won from him.

Oh I forgot to mention another issue. The user tags on someone's profile can cause the sidebar to overlap with the Giveaways Won section when scrolling, depending on how long the user tag description is AND if you have text on the page zoomed.
https://imgur.com/mpC8uh9
https://imgur.com/Xgxahhf

It doesn't happen on Giveaways Sent page. Is it because of the " > Giveaways > Won" after the user tag?

I used another SG script that put the user tag beside your username at the top. Like this https://imgur.com/NsX30GM
I think that would be a better place if it fixes the issue since it makes the user tag more obvious.

The sidebar overlapping also happens on the main giveaway page if "Accurate Timestamps" is enabled. It's not as bad; the search bar and row lines overlap a little. But if there's a user tag next to the creator's name then the overlapping will be worse.

Edit: Oh yea even if you have User Tags disabled but have Accurate Timestamps enabled AND text is zoomed the overlapping will happen in the Giveaways Won page.

Yeah, I can reproduce without User Tags. It might not even be related to Accurate Timestamps, but simply to text being zoomed in. I'll look into it when I can.

Just a suggestion, maybe you could create a small screenshot showing each feature in work (when applicable).
These could be put on Github wiki..

5 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

That's too much work for me at the moment, especially since many features are constantly changing, and there are a lot of features. I try to make their descriptions as descriptive as possible so that a screenshot isn't needed, because screenshots get very easily outdated and changing text is far faster than taking a screenshot, editing it and uploading it.

You can edit the wiki if you want though. If each user of the script took a screenshot and posted it there, there wouldn't be such heavy work for one single person and we could get a few screenshots.

Lately, ESGST has been causing massive CPU lag spikes on Chrome. The other day, upon opening multiple tabs, it caused Chrome, as well as my computer, to freeze. I have an i5, and when I simply refresh a page, the CPU usage spikes up to 80 - 100%. I know for sure that it's not being caused by any of my other extensions.

ESGST has always been a bit heavy, to be honest, and it's usually not a good idea to open too many SG tabs when using it. But if it's been worse lately, it would be helpful if you could detect exactly which version started doing it. Do you use the userscript or extension?

5 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

I use the userscript. I know it's lagged sometimes in the past, but it was never this bad. The large spikes happen regardless of how many tabs I have open, and they seem to have begun in the past week or so , so I guess it started with the current, or previous version. Also, I used to be able to open multiple tabs without any problem.

If you could downgrade to previous versions to detect the exact version where the problem originated that would be helpful.

It might be a bit of a nuisance: https://github.com/revilheart/ESGST/releases

If you click on the tag icon at the left of each version you can view the GitHub page at that point in time and install that version from there.

v7.18.0 was the last major change, so maybe you could try v7.17.8.

It's ok if you don't have the time to do it or don't want to do it, I can try to see what I can do.

I'm sorry to be a bit of a nuisance myself, but... I feel stupid for saying this, but I'm unsure about what to do exactly. I'm hardly savvy when it comes to Tampermonkey, GitHub, or anything to do with scripts. Am I supposed to download the zip? If so, what do I do once I've downloaded it?

What is the size of your data? Could be some overhead loading the data on each tab, which isn't a problem in the extension because the extension only loads the data once.

If you have the time, you could try backing up your settings file (so you can easily restore your settings later) and disabling some features to see if that has any impact.

Disabling both the giveaway bookmarks and giveaway encrypter/decrypter made a huge difference, with the encrypter/decrypter making the biggest impact. The spike percentage was cut by more than half (spikes to about 30 - 40% now). Disabling a few others made a slight difference, but nothing as significant as when disabling the two mentioned.

I did lose all my data, but it wasn't just your script. I checked others, and nothing worked. Restarting Chrome didn't fix, so I reinstalled your script, and then it worked, but still nothing else.

I reset all my scripts, actually, and now it's all back to normal, so I don't directly fault yours, but the update did seem to be the catalyst (but I'll reserve blame for TM over the script itself).

On another topic, since I have to reset everything, and the filters are all new, I'm having trouble hiding games I've already entered.

Well, sorry about that. I don't test the userscript anymore since I implemented the extension, so I just follow what's in the Greasemonkey documentation and hope it works.

I´ve got a little problem with the filters, could you please look into this and tell me if it´s my logic or the script that is not working?

Using extension in Chrome atm (filters don´t work at all in userscript in Chrome, just showing a blank field).

Looking at the following rules, the two GAs shown in the screen should be hidden. But they are not.

Screen 1
Screen 2

Yeah, the userscript version is currently bugged, I'm trying to fix it.

I think your logic is flawed, why should they be hidden? Maybe you meant to use AND in the second group? The way it is, it's saying:

Show giveaways that are:

Not Owned AND Not Entered AND Not Previously Won AND (DLC OR Copies >= 3 OR Group OR Level >= 5 OR (Entries < 300 AND Minutes To End < 30))

Ah, wait, maybe my logic is the flawed one. I'll look into it.

Ok, thanks for looking into it, because even after looking at your written version of my filters above, my logic still looks flawless to me, and I´m still sure that these settings should hide the 2 shown GAs.

Odd, I tested it here, and no giveaways with less than 300 entries appeared...

The opposite, sorry, I'm saying everything wrong today. :P

No problem, this can be so confusing :D

That´s weird because for me it doesn´t work.
Furthermore, I just deleted this rule to make it less complicated. So now I got this setup:

Not Owned AND Not Entered AND Not Previously Won AND (DLC OR Copies >= 3 OR Group OR Level >= 5)

Let´s do a example, the following giveaway is showing but shouldn´t:
Max Payne 3

step-by-step:
Not Owned = Pass
Not Entered = Pass
Not Prev Won = Pass

-> So now it just has to pass one of the rules in brackets to be shown:

DLC = FAIL
Copies >= 3 = FAIL
Group = FAIL
Level >= 5 = FAIL

This leads to: PASS AND PASS AND PASS AND FAIL
-> Result is FAIL, GA should be hidden. But it is still shown.

Ok, I'll try to reproduce, but I think the issue may be with the DLC filter, since it's a category filter. Do you have Game Categories enabled?

Removed the DLC rule = still the same problem.

Yes Game Categories is enabled. I just tried to disable it. The result was that filters completely stopped working.

Working perfectly fine now! Really great improvement, I love the new filters!
Thank you for your awesome work 😊

Just one more thing about them, no error, just a feature request:
Can you add a filter option for DLC for "Base-game owned"?

The purpose would be to combine this with the DLC (non-free base) option.
Like this:

Base-game owned AND DLC (non-free base)

So I would only see DLCs where I own the base OR where the base is free.
Or is something like this already implemented and I just don´t see it?

"Why would you try to fix something if it is not broken?"

Why the need for this update which apparently forces us to reconfigure ALL of our settings again, from scratch, due to some incompatibility issue...?!?

Not to mention that a lot of features apparently don't work...just, why?

I wasn't trying to fix anything and nothing was broken. The new filters are an improvement, not a fix.

This update only "forces" you to reconfigure your filters. All your other settings should be fine.

The userscript version is currently broken.

Improvement, you say? Then how come the filters (which you apparently deemed fit to "improve") do not work anymore?

"The userscript version is currently broken."

You think?

Yes, it's an improvement.

Like I said, the userscript version is currently broken and I'm trying to fix it.

So you're associating "improvement" with "broken" while at the same time confusing reality with negativity.

And what should I do? Thank you for not leaving things the way they were (in working condition)?

The main development channel of ESGST is the extension. The userscript is not my priority and I don't perform any tests in the userscript version before releasing a new version. And the filters are not broken in the extension (there might be a small logic fault in them, but they're essentially working). And yes, the filters are an improvement. Even if they're broken in the userscript, the new filters are an improvement from the old ones. Them being broken doesn't change that.

It's not reality, you're just whining about it while you can clearly see from the comments above that I'm already aware of the issue and trying to fix it.

Why don't you go ahead, learn Javascript and develop your own script then?

Seriously, some people... I'm here trying my best to fix this as soon as possible and you're just too ungrateful and impatient to wait?

"you're just too ungrateful and impatient to wait"

Try frustrated and/or irritated because we live in a time where everything apparently "needs" to be updated constantly and sooner or later (sooner...) bugs surface.

I miss the old days...

Nothing "needs" to be updated constantly. If you want to stay in old buggy and optimized versions, suit yourself. It's not hard to disable automatic updates. Then you can go back to your old days.

Done. Also, "buggy" and "optimized"? Optimized clearly means it's not buggy...

Anyway, the userscript version should be working fine with v7.20.1.

Thanks for you hard work, don't think I would use this site if it was not here for us to use. I use Opera and I don't know if I can use the extension so I have been using Tampermonkey. I understand that you need to focus on the platform you support officially. But if you can fix the issue with the userscript version it would very much be appreciated.

And I didn't need the update, but I still got it regardless.

And sarcasm is merely another form that truth takes sometimes.

Anyway, can I at least have another form of filtering? I only need the "Region Restricted" and "Minutes to end" filters and I'd love to know the text needed in the address bar to filter giveaways accordingly (I'm already using "search?type=wishlist&level_max=?&level_min=?").

You didn't need to use the script either. And you could have turned off automatic updates if not having a script in working condition for a few moments is such an end of the world for you.

If you know anything about ESGST is that it's in constant development and things break all the time, but I try to fix them as soon as I can, and I could be devoting this time I'm writing these useless replies to that right now if you weren't such a pain in the ass.

region_restricted=true for region restricted giveaways.

"Minutes to End" is a ESGST-exclusive filter and does not work URL-based.

If you were in the userscript version, the filters weren't working. Try the latest. You will have to reconfigure your filters because the filter system was changed. Just set Entered to false and save.

On Firefox, I am unable to select a filter. I select the icon to get a list of filters but I am unable to select anything. I had this problem a long time ago, but you fixed it then, it appears to have returned.

Also, on this thread it keeps saying I don't have the latest version, but updating does not give me anything new (I have 7.20.0).

OK, it updated to 7.20.1 but I am still unable to select a filter, and now there are two "Default" filters and a "DefaultGe" filter that I don't know why is there.

Two identical "Default" filters? That shouldn't happen, but "DefaultGe" is normal. Every time you access a different type of page, a default filter is generated for that page, "DefaultGe" being the default generated filter for Giveaway Extractor.

By select you mean apply a filter?

Yes, I guess apply a filter, I click on the icon on the home page to select a filter, I get a filter list, but I am unable to select any of them. The pointer turns to a hand over the filter name, but clicking does nothing. By the way I am still using Firefox 56.0.2.

EDIT: I do have two "Default" filters listed on that pop-up, I don't know if they are the same since I cannot select either of them.

EDIT2: If I click and drag on a filter name, it allows me to reorder the filters, but cannot select any of them by clicking.

EDIT3: Popup window is labeled "Manage Presets:".

Also in GA extractor window, if I edit the DefaultGe filter, and add "Level less or equal" or "Level greater or equal" it does not work. "Level less" and "Level greater" seem to work fine.

Yeah this is the line that appears in the log each time I click on a filter:

Error: Incorrect data object passed query-builder.min.js:3:41486

I didn't realize that multiple clicks just made the red number increase next to that line rather than putting multiple copies in the log.``

Can you delete the presets and refresh the page to see if they're generated correctly this time?

I deleted all my presets and then refreshed. Only "Default" was there. I then went to GA extractor on a train. I then refreshed the home page again and clicked on the filter to get the pop-up and I now see "Default" and "DefaultGe". I am unable to select either of them and the enabled filter remains as "Default".
