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.

Why do I always notice bugs when I've just released a new version... Yes, I'm aware that Content Loader for User Info is not working right now. Will try to push a hotfix in the next few hours.

happyssimo cakeday, rafael!

(honestly, came here to say that i have latest 8.3.16 running -it shows in Chrome task manager- but that's all: no sign on steamgifts.com pages that i'm actually running ESGST... but again, happy factory day. ...yours, is a massive one!)

On the giveaways entered page it no longer shows type, level, link to the store page or creator of the GA. Is this a known issue or is there something wrong on my end?

Edit: the pages for 'GA created' and 'GA won' display correctly btw

Thanks for your answer. The problem you speak of is not what I meant though.
There is almost no information left on my GA entered page.

has anyone else had trouble with the auto bumper? i got this extension today, enabled 'trade bumper' and 'auto bump every hour,' and saved settings. it immediately bumped my trades but hasn't worked since. that was four hours ago.

edit: seems to bump whenever i visit steamtrades.com now. but does it not bump every hour as long as my web browser is running? i actually have to visit the website for that to happen?

i can confirm it works perfectly if and only if visiting steamtrades. it won't bump unless on the website.

Comment has been collapsed.

That's expected. If you don't have the website open, then the extension doesn't run. You need to have at least one SteamTrades tab open in the background, you don't need to actually be in the tab.

i have an r.pi3 running o.s.m.c. do you know a way to set it up to do this in the background without too much overhead?

Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

I don't think there's a way for you to do this without overhead at the moment, because you need at least one SteamTrades tab open, unless you have very few features enabled for SteamTrades, in which case the extension will consume less resources.

Hi, I don't know if I am doing something wrong or is a bug, but when I hide a game (put it in the giveaway filter) from a new bundle for example it does not hide it if there are no giveaway of said game.
Help! this was the second best feature I use after the grid :D

example bellow, i've selected the game, chose to hide them, says save, i refresh the page and there are not hidden :(

Hi, it was working for sure.
We have discussed it here https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/TDyzv/add-on-enhanced-steamgifts-steamtrades-esgst-v850/search?page=71#S6fTTBU

And now is working again, thank you!

I like the "show description", button, but I don't know why, in the giveaways of the main page, it's always to the extreme left, and I would like to move itto the extreme right, after "number of entries" and "number of comments"

I have tried to fix it in 11., Element Ordering, without success.

Any way I could move it. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

I guess you talk about giveaway popup. In element ordering this is under Giveaway Panel. Just drag&drop this to Giveaways Links.

Damn, every time it auto updates, I lose all my settings, bookmarks etc. I need to import them manually (when I have a recent export since the auto backup never worked for me) which is fine but today? I've spent the last 10 minutes importing and losing all my data every time I open a new steamgift tab. Any idea?

What's the size of your data? It's very odd that you lose your data just by opening a tab.

My latest backup is 3,739 Kb
It looks like the import is holding for now. I still lose all my data with every update but it's ok, I usually back it up every day after I check the site.
And by the way, just so I'm not here to bitch about something, and because it bears repeating:
many many thanks for improving the functionalities of the site drastically.

Rafa, how can I get chrome notifications from wishlisted giveaways?
there were notifications about unentered wishlisted giveaways a time ago, but, somehow, they don't appear anymore. I didn't change any option to change that... also, I checked again: notifications on chrome is currently allowed and 17.1.1. is enabled.

ESGST as a whole (Firefox 69) is taking a while to load in on some pages and doesn't load at all on the comments page (the background theme stays dark, but little else works

The whole header thing is messed up, including on this page, and the hotlink button (ESGST master button) to this thread is gone.

Use https://www.steamgifts.com/account/settings/profile?esgst=backup on your other computer to backup your data.

Then https://www.steamgifts.com/account/settings/profile?esgst=restore on your current computer to restore it.

These pages are accessible from the heading in the settings menu.

Hi, thanks for your awesome work. Gotta question tho :D
When sorting GAs, what is the difference between chance and projected chance ?

4 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Chance is the current chance, projected chance is what the chance is predicted to be when the giveaway ends (based on the current number of entries and the current length of the giveaway).

Hi, first off, great job!
My question is: When opening a thread on steamtrades earlier all listed games were scanned and data was shown next to them (how many times bundled, already owned/wishlisted, removed etc.). Is this feature also part of the extension and I just don't see it?

The Have/Want List Checker is nice and all, but personally I'd like to see e. g. in my want section if a wishlisted game got bundled.

Thanks in advance!

4 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

The feature should show icons for owned / wishlisted games, but not information about bundled or removed. Did you remove any other extension that could be doing that? Could it be this: https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/y9vVm/userscript-steam-web-integration-previously-steam-store-game-owned-checker

Hey I've got a quick question: does the level visualizer in the header take into account the number of entries the giveaways have? I'm just curious because it's predicting a pretty big boost for me even though the giveaway that would give me the most CV has less than five entries, rendering it useless as far as CV goes

Edit: hmm it seems it's actually because it's treating three of my giveaways as full cv when they've been bundled. I've tried syncing the bundle list but it's not changing

It's probably because there was a change in the server domain. Please try syncing again in the latest version.

Hmm sorry to bother you with this again but it turns out, it works fine on my laptop but on my PC it still counts a bunch of bundled games as full CV. I guess that probably means it's on my end but do you know if there's any way to fix it?

Are the features that rely on the server working well for you guys? My current domain (https://gsrafael01.me) is expiring and I decided to buy a new one to match my new username (https://rafaelgssa.com). I'll see if I can push an update today or tomorrow with the domain updated.

Does reduced cv info completely rely on the server? I've noticed some games which are now marked full cv although they are on the bundled list and were correctly marked reduced cv in the past like anomaly korea or beat the game.

It was supposed to fall back to the Google sheet, but maybe that's not working as intended.
