hey knsys i am not sure if i should report this to you but there is a former winner of my giveaway froma year ago who decided to mark as not received as of yesterday not sure if he is trying to fool sg tools or such hence i was wondering if i should report this to you as well as he did mark as received and has it in his library
Comment has been collapsed.
Sure, just write me the name on an old giveaway or add me to steam. I'll check it's history of marked as not received to see if he is trying to bypass some checks.
Also you should report it to steamgifts support

The First Tree is reported as non-activated in my profile but is not released yet so it doesn't appear on account.

New year brings new options on custom rule creation:
- wishlist_date: Date when the user wishlisted giveaway's game. It doesn't work with packages, steam don't allow users to wishlist them.
- num_wishlisted_games: Number of wishlisted games on steam
- owned_games: All games owned by user, you can query for ownership of certain appid.
- num_owned_games: Number of user's owned games on steam as reported by steam api
Those options have been requested several times, so now you can start using them on the custom rule section. Some people may need to re-synchronize with SGTools before they can enter giveaways with this kind of rules, but in less than 24 hours everybody will be able to enter without a manual resync.
PS: New stats generated
Comment has been collapsed.
I have a question about the date operators, is it allowed to add only the date, or the hour (and minutes and seconds) is required too?
Example for wishlisted game before Oct 5 2016:
wishlist_date<date('2016-10-05')Or do I need to apply this format to the custom rule?
wishlist_date<date('2016-10-05 00:00:00')Thanks!

I'm very happy to see this set of enhancements and will create a few GAs with such rules later today. This is beyond awesome!
Thank you so much!
Edit: Couldn't wait :-)

Hi knsys,
May I ask for a little time of yours to look into this thread? I think this will be a nice addition to the SGTools family. (I have tested the Steam Web API mentioned, it works)
Thank you.
Comment has been collapsed.
Steam web api is being extensively used in SGTools, I know it well :)
If I understand it well, you want the ability to check if a user owns a certain game right?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, and if possible, maybe not just one game (app), but all games within a bundle (sub). Better if we can input the five characters giveaway ID in the URL and SGTools will automatically fetch the game/bundle being given away. I think this is very similar to the "not activated" function (only in reverse, it checks if the winner does NOT have it). Of course the winner(s) will be anonymous, so we will have to input that manually.
Comment has been collapsed.
Some new filters joins the custom rule pool:
- wishlisted_game_date filter: It lets you check for wishlisting date of any game, not only the one you are giving away
- real_won_public, real_won_private, real_won_group filters: Were missing and some people asked for them in the past

They changed the release date from 01/01/2017 to 24/01 so I updated it on DB and now it won't check it until 25th.
Thanks for the report!

Infraction to report

First time I've used SGTools on a giveaway, so hope I got everything right! (;-.-)
The user passes the requirements, but seems to have entered via the normal SG link rather than the SGTools generated link. I did not distribute that link to anyone. Had stated that entries needed to access the giveaway through SGTools in the giveaway description.
If you need any more information, or I've missed something, please let me know.

Hm, I was thinking about making a sgtoos projected GA and now the site is acting wonky... something wrong? (Pending on browser I see nothing of 500 errors etc)

For me the page isnt loading... maybe it's in maintenance the site?

Oh, yeah, I noticed it seemed to be back up, but then we were visited by exneighbors followed by my sis and nephews (who are still here) so I still have not gotten around to making my GAs.
Thanks as always :-)

ahhh, good.. i didn't send keys to recent rulebreakers. xD
hated sending them blindly not knowing, but did so anyways due to it being down.
Comment has been collapsed.
You always have 7 days to sent the gifts buddy.
Speaking about myself personally: I do like to expedite the sending of my gifts but in my early SG giveaways someone, a friend, pointed out that I really should do a thorough winner check. Steam, SG, SGTools they can all go down/have maintenance. But when down I myself would rather wait to send the gifts until the site is back up and I can check my winners.

i killed the task (notice the ^C in screenshot) with a count arguement its good enuf though (when it gets a response at least)
Comment has been collapsed.
That tool always rejects me due to "Unactivated gift or account is private". But why exactly am I rejected? I have 2 not recieved gifts. First one from guy who send 0 gifts https://www.steamgifts.com/user/Yoman987 The other one from guy, who send only part of keys from bundle giveaway - 4 years ago it was OK practice to check such gifts as received, but due to hearing with moderator I had to switch to unreceived.
So what, due to 2 gifts that I did not recieve I am now locked by SGtools?

Sync with sgtools then try again. http://www.sgtools.info/sync

there been SGT page screenshot
- As it states, I have different versions of this one.
- Checked, I have all listed DLCs in my library
- Game it states as not on Steam anymore I have in my library (and it is on Steam, maybe switched api). The other one is DLC for game that is no longer exists on Steam as it is replaced with HD version.

None of those things listed will stop you from passing sgtools. It's only a problem if they show up red. Note that syncing with sgtools is not the same as syncing with Steamgifts.

Oh. Thank you. Just tryed few links to SGTools, sync really fixed problem.

3hr & 10mins away. from the update.. xD

Hey, I think your site has issues detecting multi-wins with high-volume giveaways.
Was recently alerted to a multiple win (http://imgur.com/yTrwqy8), which I am now attempting to remedy. They were both set to "Received" until today, but your website has always shown "no multiple wins" (http://imgur.com/XMR24m5).
Comment has been collapsed.
As you can see in the screenshot, there is no way to know if you marked the first one as received or not, because SGTools cannot access the giveaway to see it and the data provided on the profile is not enough (your name doesn't appear as received or not received).
This is a known limitation, that only CG can fix.
You can check out my suggestion thread from a year ago.

Thanks. I bumped the issue. Here's to hoping it gets noticed!

Hello. Can you unban me on sgtools?
Around 1 year ago my friend give me a link for private ga. We both thought it was a public "private" ga but not, author used sgtools for it.
And after it sgtools show me "You were caught trying to cheat the system or entering a sgtools protected giveaway without permission.". But I didn't cheat.
Regards.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi rzndsa,
You are not banned for entering a private giveaway without using sgtools. That is penalized with an infraction (a strike), not a ban.
You are banned for Missuse of giveaway feedback, trying to bypass multiple wins marking as not received some of them. This is penalized with a direct and unlimited ban.
PS: Yes, you cheated.

Anyway, thanks for your answer.
It was worth a try ;P

I have two questions about custom rules:
- Is there a limit to the length of the rule (in characters)?
- Is it possible to add comments to parts of it?
Thanks!
Comment has been collapsed.
- There is no maximum length for the rules, well in fact there is but is way more than you will ever need
- No, there is no support for comments right now

I used this site on myself and it said:
DLCs Wins that appears as not activated
Minion Masters - Premium Upgrade (2016-12-03 18:10:00)
even know I have activated it on my account, is there something going on?
Comment has been collapsed.
There is nothing wrong on your account, is just Steam Api not reporting dlc's as usual. You have nothing to worry about, that is why the dlc's in question are hidden by default. And if you read the text, it's specified there:
DLCs Wins that appears as not activated
Steam API has problems identifying some owned DLCs, so the following ones are probably activated!Comment has been collapsed.
I have a strange one - I won a giveaway on 6/1/17 for Chicken Shoot Gold. It is showing on my account that I haven't activated it - which came as a bit of a surprise when I used SGtools to check - so I checked and I have activated Chicken Shoot 2 on 6/1/17. Now I don't think I noticed this at the time (as the gold edition includes Chicken Shoot 2). - Is it possible that the giveaway was listed incorrectly or is it that chicken shoot gold is actually just chicken shoot 2?
Due to this I'm showing as not having activated a key when I did in good faith :(.
Comment has been collapsed.
Chicken Shoot 2 was given away for free, so you should mark it not received, and post a comment explaining why. Then sync your account with Sgtools.
Comment has been collapsed.
Chicken shoot gold is not chicken shoot 2, so the giveaway creator gave you a key for a game that was not the one he created the giveaway for.
You can check other winners of chicken shoot gold and you'll see that they don't flag the unactivated rule.

Thanks - sounds like that is whats happened - i'll do as suggested.

Yea i synced today, and i have this game since november 7 or something
Comment has been collapsed.
Nov 9th you mean (otherwise you activated before you won it xD)
It shows you clean and having all your wins activated though on my side, so i'd just try sync'ing both SG Sync & SGTools Sync one more time cause that normally fixes those issues.
Comment has been collapsed.
Like D3m4n I checked you on SGTools and you are showing all games activated.
Comment has been collapsed.
So maybe it fixed itself or the maker of the tool fixed the bug huh?
Comment has been collapsed.
The problem is, i won this game 2 month ago and activated right away, and had no problems till this week, and now its gone again, after syncs i was getting same message again.
Comment has been collapsed.
you were probably still viewing a cached view of the page after a sync.
if it ever happens again, sync, then try 'force' refreshing the noactivation page (ctrl+shift+r for most browsers) instead of a regular refresh. xD
Comment has been collapsed.
I and other users had this problem also a few times, when Steam is down and SGTools does a sync during that Steam downtime it can sometimes happen that you show a false positive, non activated game. The SGTools sync solves that problem.

not with a style it isn't.. 2x header ads feels like overkill to me. xD
hehe
Comment has been collapsed.
It should not display 2x banners.
The only reason it could do that is adblock failing to work properly.
Comment has been collapsed.
it looks fine if i turn off squishedpotatos dark theme that only happens with that theme turned on. but i know it's not actually coded that way at all, so it's fine with me. xD
edit: i thought i had disabled ublock origin for sgtools.info, but then i remembered that was in my windows install not for my linux install.. so it was actually a combination of ublock trying to block it with dark them enabled. (and still even then only on the occasional pageload)
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm only seeing one header here and one side banner. :-)

me2 on some pageloads, that only happens every ~4th pageload, and idk where else but specifically "sent" pages (real cv sent)
Comment has been collapsed.
I haven't had/seen a double one yet here, I'm using Firefox.
Comment has been collapsed.
yeah, i think it takes a combo of a few things. chrome + ublock origin trying (but failing) to block ads + squished's dark theme.. and even then it only occasionally happened.
nothing really to worry about, was really just a joke. ^^

I just added a Custom Rule creator, to ease the creation of custom rules with a fully-featured GUI that allows you to create rules and groups of rules and move them around as you please.
You'll find it in the edit giveaway page. Note that this is still in beta, let me know if/when something breaks!
Comment has been collapsed.
This will make life easier for most of us that create SGTools giveaways! ^^
Thank you very much Knsys for your continued support and updates! :3
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for the efforts you've invested into this. I like the idea, but at this stage find this GUI more difficult to use than the previous solution. Specifically I have two issues:
- There's seems to be no way to compare two parameters, e.g.
num_sent >= num_won - The online help that previously explained the different parameters is missing. Is it located elsewhere now? There's an information "i" button, but one has to manually select a parameter for it to be visible. I can't find a way to go over the documentation of all parameters or search through their descriptions.
Comment has been collapsed.
GUI is just a help for non-experienced users to be able to use relatively difficult custom rules easily. The target is not people like you, who has been already using it from the start (in fact I created custom rules for you).
It lacks some edge cases, like the one you mention on 1, but in the end the GUI writes a normal custom rule, you can change it there or simply keep using the rules as before (gui-less).
About the information, it's true that it's only visible on the "i" button at the moment, I'll do a toggle when I get some time to show the old version.

Hi knsys, I tried to create a region-locked GA protected by SGTools today. But after I create a region-locked invite-only GA, SGTools says the giveaway is not private. Could you please check if this is a bug or actually a limitation of this tool?
Comment has been collapsed.
Unfortunately it's not possible to protect region-locked giveaways with SGTools.
It's not a limitation on SGTools per se, it's a limitation of SteamGifts itself. SG doesn't display any information of the giveaway just a notice in the lines of "you cannot access this giveaway because is not of your region".

Are you sure you are not blocking javascript? The error message suggest this.
What browser are you using? I just tested it on Chrome and Firefox and it works.

errors probably caused by old version of firefox 43.0.4
i tried newer version 51 and Check requirements working

Using Pale Moon x64 (more secure version of Firefox) and my Javascript console says this when I try checking:
non activated wins
SyntaxError: missing ; before statement
SGTools protected giveaway when I click the "Check requirements" button
TypeError: check is not a function
It works on Chrome though, so it leads me to believe the dev for Pale Moon screwed up JS code somehow.

Using Pale Moon // you have latest version of browser or outdated like mine?
Comment has been collapsed.
Also have this problem, but the current version of Pale Moon has been working perfectly fine on sgtools until today (or possibly yesterday). All other areas of sgtools currently working except the check requirements button. This leads me to question if anything was changed on sgtools end recently ...

is there a way to fix the issue without updating FF to newer 51 version? everything was fine up until yesterday.
