Thanks for this! Unfortunately, the website appears to be down.

It's not really down, it's the free tk domain that is failing to resolve.
I'll get a decent domain soon, but sgtools.com is already taken :\
I'll have to take .net or .info probably

Never thanked you for this amazing tool so I grab the chance now. Thank you very much!
Also, I found a problem affecting my count for the real CV. At first I noticed it was showing 39% to Lv.6 while on SG I'm at 5.35, then I've seen Biology Battle is shown as non-bundle even if I gifted it after its bundle date (Feb 12, 2015). I guess that's what is pumping my CV.
Hope I helped :)

2 things that should be whitelisted aka false-positives on my profile ;) http://www.sgtools.tk/nonactivated/PapaSmok/papasmok:
- Shadow Warrior: Special Edition Upgrade - dlc pack steamdb url
- King Arthur - The Role-playing Wargame - this one is wierd, it's now part of King Arthur and King Arthur II Collection, but back then the pack contained King Arthur Collection which contains "King Arthur - The Role-playing Wargame" itself

Hi, I'm trying to resolve a difference between the Real CV tool and Steam Gifts. SG calls me Lvl 8.02 but the tool reports 8.21816, a difference of about $200. The discrepancy was only noticed a week or so ago.
Is it possible the Real CV tool's database is not up to date or out of sync with the SG bundle list? It shows the non-bundled price (and color code) for the following games even though the games are in the bundle list and retroactively dated back to my giveaways.
Suspect listings:
Hello Kitty and Sanrio Friends Racing
Frozenbyte Collection
MadSpace: To Hell and Beyond
It is also possible I am missing something totally obvious because it's very late. If so, just call me names and tell me to go to sleep.

I'll take a look at that in the near future.
Right now I'm refactoring all the tool from simple php/html/cs/js to Symfony 2 so I'm in the middle of a process on which i should not touch too much the "old" code >_<

I'm having problems with the calculator indicating that all the games I won have been unactivated! I checked my account and all the games I won are registered in my Steam Library. I don't want to be Blacklisted by people thinking I don't activate any of the games I win D: Can you help me out?

Thanks so much for your help! This is such a great tool.

How precise is the CV calculation tool? According to it, I should be lvl 7, but I'm actually 6.99 (Q_Q). Any way to know how much I actually miss?

In sent gifts think there should be '%" in xx.xx to level x. So its more clear what that number xx.xx means.
btw
what is the purpose of button "sign in through steam"

Oops, that % should be there, maybe it run away when I was busy moving to symfony, sneaky %!
The sign in through steam will be useful on new features only, so right now you can ignore it :)

This one maybe should be whitelisted:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/23455 - Grand Ages: Rome - Reign of Augustus
It's an expansion package that requires the base game and is part of Grand Ages: Rome GOLD - http://store.steampowered.com/sub/2996/ and I believe it's not returned correctly from steam as owned.

i have to ask... is there a way to change how multiple wins are detected by the tool?
because right now if someone wins a game twice, it doesn't matter if he marks 1 copy as received and the other as not received (ie: waiting for a reroll), the tool will show that game as a multiple win.
since there are a lot of people blacklisting because they spot something bad with the tool, this is a problem. specially for new people that have no idea what to do when they win twice and the GA creator takes weeks to reroll.
Comment has been collapsed.
That is not how it should be working, it must be a bug. Can you link me to someone where this happens?
Comment has been collapsed.
I also have a user that the tools is not showing as winning twice when it should. I've sent a Steam friend request to send you the link.

I guess the whole tool is bugged then, it was working before the migration to sf2. I accepted your request but I'm not in home, just send me an offline message and I'll read it later!

that's pretty complicated here because of the call out rule and also because most multiple winners are new members and it's hard to put in contact with them... if i spot someone willing to help i'll direct them to this thread.

You can add me to steam and send me a message with the details to avoid calling out here

The issue that made this false reports appear was multiple copies giveaways that the tool couldn't check the not-received status since it was not displayed in the won page.
Now the tool enters the giveaway to check the real received/not received status for the winner we are checking, but this has a limitation. It works for public giveaways but not for Private/Group ones, since the tool can't enter the giveaway to check.
Comment has been collapsed.
ah ok, pity it can't be fixed 100% but it will help most people that entered massive public GAs. thanks :3

That's why I (and more people) keep asking CG to implement a public/private API to access SG data easily and with precision.

The game doesn't show up on your account when I look at it. And it's not one of those invisible game, because it does show up on my friend's accounts, whether they played it or not.
Maybe you should check back if it's actually activated.

It is activated.

But I don't see this game in my library. I found this:
https://steamdb.info/depot/344261/subs/
https://steamdb.info/sub/58627/history/
https://steamdb.info/sub/58628/history/
58627 and 58628 was removed from the package
Also I will write to steam support...

I was going to add it to whitelist... but it seems that it got solved by itself. Maybe Steam did something with the appid's?

Yes, steam added Agapan back to the package. I have it now in my lybrary :)

Anyway thank you :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Ownership of Agapan is definitely bugged.. I have it among activated licences, by activation date I would say that it was key from Groupees BaGB 6 (8th July).. Steam store says that I own it and I don't have the game in library !?! I noticed that yesterday when I saw giveaway for Agapan that I could enter; I had to blacklist it on sg, just to be safe not to enter one by mistake.

Big fan here. Couple of suggestions (pardon my non-technical language though):
- Your real CV sent tool already provides value breakdowns (you know, when you hover over the number). Can it provide the n of giveaways?
- It would be nice to see which GAs were public, group, whitelist and private separately. Tabs, probably? I thought it would not be too difficult, since all the data is already there.
- Finally - and this is a big one - since you're already peeking at a user's owned games list, would it be possible to check whether a user already has a game they won? Like, we select the game from a drop down list, then the tool does its thingy? Maybe couple it with the nonactivations tool? Yes, yes, I know I can check this one manually, but Steam game search always crashes my browser so maybe you can spoil me yet again? :P
I also noticed that the tool tends to give a connection error recently, I dunno whether that's on my end or yours... or maybe it's punishing me for using it too often :-\
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for the suggestions
- Seems like a good idea, I'll add it to the breakdown
- I can do a tabbed view, default tab is all with all other tabs filtering the giveaway types. Since there are giveaways of more than one type, some of them will get repeated in other tabs thought.
- This one is a little problematic. Steam only allows a relatively small number of API queries per time, so throwing some of them in a thing that you can do in their website with no value added is not efficient. What happens with your browser? did you try using private browsing?
It's the DNS resolution of the free domain, I'll get a paid domain soon to correct that.
Comment has been collapsed.
- Yay!
- Yes, this is what I had in mind. Although if you group Group/whitelist GAs together the overlap issue will be solved ( I think there is not much difference between the two anyway, from a philosophical point of view)
- Ah, now understand better how the tool works :3 In that case, nevermind, I agree it would not be efficient.
In case you wonder, I use Firefox mainly - and it gives me the ol' freeze (for a good 5 seconds or so) everytime I look at another person's games list or inventory. Dunno whether this is a browser issue, internet issue or a hardware issue. It works, but it could be better.
Comment has been collapsed.
Do you have Enchanced Steam? It adds achievments to the "all games" page so it took ages for this page to load esp if someone has got lot of games.
If you open this same game list in browser (with and without ES) you will see how less time it takes to load all games in browser without ES.

I occasionally enable it, but the issue pops even with ES disabled.

Btw, if i want to log out from the website, what should i do ?

Delete the cookie from your browser.
Right now there is no account management, neither an account itself it just gets the steam open id data and stores in the cookie to display the avatar. Accounts will take a role in the future, but right now is a placeholder.

So I don't know if this is important or has been reported before, but when I try to list my sent for Real CV
While it lists the number and level correctly, it lists all the games twice.

Finally I got a decent domain, it's working already here but it could take up to 48 hours to propagate to your DNS servers. Once this time has passed I'll redirect all traffic from .tk to the real domain.
New domain http://www.sgtools.info

I'm aware of it, I plan to change it after the domain is online for 48 hours, just to be sure that everybody can actually use the new domain.

Ouch a 1024px screen? Right now the size of the side is 1300px wide, but since Steamgifts is 1400px wide so I assumed everybody here will have at least that size.
I'm not able to remember the last time I've seen a screen with a resolution of less than 1300px.

Try it now, it should work ok, small but ok.
If you don't see any change, do a force-reaload on the webpage (crtl+f5)

As I told you in the other post, you are passing the steam username not the steam vanity name or steamid. For more information on how to get the correct value check the base landing page.
Comment has been collapsed.
I see, thanks for explaining. Is there any way to identify that the user typed the wrong name or otherwise reduce the likelyhood of this issue? As you can see, many people use it incorrectly and come to the conclusion that false positives and much more common than they actually are (when used properly).
How about offering an option to fill in the SG profile URL (e.g. this) instead of Username + Vanity name combination? This would bring usability very close to that of the script.

Unfortunately it can't be done, CG blocks steam url for profiles to non-users (the bot is not a user)

Any reason not to register it as a user so that it can access this data?

Your site is a great aid to all giveaway creators and is actually endorsed by SteamGifts Support. I'm sure they'll be willing to make an exception if the other account is (1) used to improve the service and make it easier to use, and (2) is not used to enter or create any giveaways.
Comment has been collapsed.
The best solution would be that Steamgifts had an open or private API that developers of tools could use to get better and faster information, instead of having to parse it from normal views.
That's something I asked on a support ticket long ago, and I know that some more people did the same too, but there is still no response from CG.
The problem with another user is that I'm pretty sure that most of the support people are not able to do that, and if it relies in CG... well he has a lot more important things to do than to create a limited account for tools like mine just to parse one single value out of profile pages.

As you'll see when entering the tool's website, now there is a left column with a Google Adsense ad on it.
Why after nearly 8 month I decided to put an ad in the site? The response is quite simple thought, the first free year of amazon ec2 micro instance hosting has run out and now the only option is to pay for the hosting and of course for the new domain.
If it's too much to handle for anyone of you you can block it with any of the ad-blockers out there, but I hope you can get along with them. I think it's situated on a place where it will not interfere with the site, so if you feel like you want to help to maintain the hosting and you use an ad-blocker, you can whitelist the domain in you blocker.

Whitelisted :)
I was recently thinking about joining them as well but I could not really figure out what kind of costs I would face when my free year was up. It would be nice (after some time has passed) if you could give me a rough figure what kind of cost it generated for you :)
Comment has been collapsed.
It's quite expensive if you want to maintain it running all the time, so I'll most likely change to Digitalocean soon.
My calculations shows 14,9$/month for a micro and that's alot for the shitty server that a micro instance is.
Digital ocean got a 5$ and 10$ a month tiers that are far better than EC2 ones.

Bumping and also noticing a minor bug in the formatting of multiple wins:
Ruzh Delta Z (won 3 times) (on x x, 2015, x:xxpm <strong>and</strong> x x, 2015, x:xpm <strong>and</strong> x x, 2015, x:xpm)The message includes the tag <strong>. Also it is larger than the red rectangle (attaching image), and if there are several multiple wins the long text overlaps with the text below.
Also thanks for the new update from 3 days ago, you were fast :D

Done! Maybe you'll need a force reload to not use your browser cached CSS

I would like to suggest an enhancement for the Real CV tool. It currently tells the user what percentage of they way they are to the next level, but I think it would be more useful to display the equivalent value in money they need to spend to get there. For example, when I check my real cv I see:
32.40% to Level 5
This is difficult to "feel", especially when each level has very different pace. I think showing the amount I need to spend ($101.4 if I'm calculating correctly¹) would be more useful.
¹ I calculated it this way: (100-32.4)/100*(250-100)=$101.4 ...not sure if it's right.
Comment has been collapsed.
I can add it, of course, but I think you are complicating the calculations needed. It's really easy to know how much yo need to level:
You take the value at the right side and substract your CV, thats what you need to give. In your case: 250 - 149.05 = 100.95
Comment has been collapsed.
Overcomplicating indeed. It's funny that my CV was staring and me right there, wearing the largest font, and I somehow missed how it's related to the bar and the next level. Me stupid.
