[UserScript] SteamGifts Trades - Have List Filter

ALTERNATE VERSION

This uses barter.vg instead: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/382106-steamtrades-have-list-filter-barter-vg

INTRODUCTION

I got fed up with Compare2Steam's shitty performance (especially for those with larger libraries) and after I went through their code and saw how absolutely horrible it was, I decided to make something similar it myself, but better. My main focus is speed, performance, accuracy and being userfriendly. I went for an userscript, because it can provide these things. The initial code was actually rather easy to write. It will only improve from here, with more accuracy, features and special cases. See it in action here.

FEATURES

  • Checks the Have-list in trade topics for owned steam games
  • Checks the Have-list in trade topics for wishlisted steam games
  • Clever game detecting algorithm
  • Ignores everything between brackets and text after "="
  • Display descriptive icons in front of each (un)owned game in the Have-list
  • Add steam store or steamdb search link after each unowned or unknown game in the Have-list
  • Add steam store or steamdb link to game after each owned or wishlisted game in the Have-list
  • Ability to copy unowned/unknown games to clipboard

DOWNLOAD

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Download and install Tampermonkey for your browser
  2. Download the userscript above
  3. (Optional) Configure your preferred settings in the code
  4. Hit install when asked
  5. Visit any trade topic and click on the "(Filter)" next to "I have..."
  6. Allow cross-domain access when asked
  7. Enjoy!

FAQ

How can it be so fast?
I am actually ignoring Steam AppID's altogether and only check with game names.
Yes, that may cause some inaccuracy, but I don't think that much.

Why doesn't it work for me?
I don't know. Be sure to contact me and provide me the log/error from the JavaScript console, if there is any.

Can I suggest a feature?
Yes, absolutely!

Seems nice for people. I wish there was a User Scripts category on SteamGifts, though (to easily see all of what's offered without searching 'script' or what else could be relevant)

edit: I also realized a lot of people who use SteamTrades don't use SteamGifts so it might be harder for them to find out about it (since I saw a 'thread' get made for it there just now)

double edit: Is there a way to add a few specific games to some list that you want (and probably with a new icon?)? Basically, a short list of games you actively look to trade for but don't necessarily have on your wishlist. I hope this is clear since sometimes it seems my messages may not be.

There is a list with all userscripts for SteamGifts here.
I already made a topic on SteamTrades, which is automatically bumping every hour here.
You can check custom have-lists, just by editing your own trade topic or create a temporary new one.

I know, but the list requires it to be community (mostly topic creator) maintained to keep it up to date. Just wishful thinking for convenience given that so many people make scripts. I don't think it's a problem for anyone, but it's nice to have things in one place (yes, I know it already is basically)

How long do you plan to bump that topic for if you're going to do it every hour?

Yeah, I already tried looking for the issue on Firefox, but I just can't find it. There is also no errors/warnings in the console.
If I execute the piece of code that shows the Filter button manually, it works just fine on Firefox.
So I don't know...

Hope you'll find a solution soon. Script looks super useful if it works for comments as well. When someone gives you long list of games - would be very nice to see which ones you own already

Found the problem: You need to have Tampermonkey. Other userscript addons don't work properly.

Great script, Good Job!

P.S. This might be out of topic and someone has probably already talked about it, but I wanted to mention about your giveaway website. I mean I understand to get something for free we have to sacrifice something but I just dont find it safe. Would you mind explaining the reason of having to login with all 3 accounts in order to get a key from your giveaway? Appreciate it

Yes, of course. Logging in doesn't actually give your credentials to me. It is called OAuth. With this I can use the API (dev stuff) to do things automatically, like follow someone when you press "Follow Royalgamer06". I use this to verify your identity in order to prevent fraud (people taking multiple keys) as well as completing steps and checking them. I do not save any other private information from you apart from your IP and ID's for the above reasons.

I don't know if someone has mentioned this before but when I have the script running (Chrome) and try to edit my trade post after clicking the edit button once I'm done it changes to the loading one like it usually does but that's it, it doesn't actually save. I deactivated the script and tried again and it worked just fine.

Hmm that's odd. I just edited my trade topic and it saved just fine. Are you sure it's my script?

7 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

I'm quite sure, yes, cause it only happens when I have the script activated, as soon as I deactivated I can edit it just fine.

It's great when it does work. Unfortunately for me, 99% of the time I get a timeout, and an error 503 Service Unavailable message: "The Steam Community is currently unavailable. Please try again later."

hmm, that sucks. I have over 3K games and it still works. 6K may be the limit.
You could try chrome 64-bit. I heard it has more javascript memory.
Maybe there are some other tricks I can use in the code.

I'm already running on 64-bit Chrome. This seems to be related to the Steam community being unable to handle the load more than a memory problem.

Yeah, like Sighery said, it's Valve's fault. I can't fix that.

Yeah, unfortunately the only somewhat reliable API from Valve is the dynamicstore userdata and it will only provide the AppID

I try my best to be as accurate and reliable as possible. It's impossible to be 100% accurate when not working with AppID's.
Thanks for the appreciation though!

This is pretty great! Would love for it to give a different icon for Unknown than it does for unowned, though. That would be valuable information.

Currently, it doesn't know the difference between unowned or unknown. :/
I may be able to find out a way to do this.
Thanks for the bump though.

You are welcome. Thank you very much for creating it. Between using this on their "haves", and using this to export my wishlist to text and then copypasta-ing to my trade, I've finally got Steamtrades working like I think it should. :D

I was genuinely amazed when I found this script. Sadly, many lists are too complicated for it. Would it be possible to make the script check hyperlinks if it doesn't find any results? To only check first column if there is a table?

Yeah, I already had this idea to also check for store.steampowered.com links. I will look into implementing it, once I have time.

I really like this script. One problem I have is when people put the games in tables, which happens a lot it seems.
I had to make this change to work on my side: http://pastebin.com/2zEaUzej

On your ST thread, I saw that you have two scripts, one for checking the text against owned/wishlisted, and one for checking links. Well, on my trade, both work...and mine are all links. I don't know if that means anything (other than that people should cut it out with the fancy formatting and bullets and such) but just thought I'd let you know.

The first time may take a while, since you have much games. Once your library is loaded it will stay in cache until you update it.
It doesn't ask for cross domain access, because I am using // @connect steamcommunity.com

Thanks for the script, I'm really loving it!

Just wondering if you can help me with something... I've been using it on Google Chrome and recently (the last day or two) it doesn't tell me if I own any games on Steamtrades. It will tell me if games are wishlisted, but everything is listed as "not owned" now. Any advice to fix that?

Thanks again!
