ASF Revolution

It's almost half a year since first version of ASF was released. During that time I worked hard on bringing you the most advanced steam cards farming program that ever existed. At the beginning I didn't expect some things that happened recently, such as idle master being discontinued, Valve restricting steam market even further, or so many users being interested in tool that initially was supposed to work only for me. Therefore, I had to make some crucial changes that will benefit both me as a developer, ASF code-wise, and you - users, in long-run.

Good news are: nothing should break, everything should work out of the box, and the update process is still the same. Bad news are: You will need to read my wall of text to learn how new ASF works 👍.

Highlights:

File structure has been changed

  • ASF now has global config ASF.json and global database ASF.db. Global config allows you to configure how ASF behaves. Global database should not be edited - contains core global ASF persistent storage.
  • ASF now uses new more modern and robust file structure for configured bots:
    Old: Bot.xml, Bot.bin, Bot.key, Bot.auth
    New: Bot.json, Bot.bin, Bot.db
  • Removed deprecated now SteamNickname. Bot no longer changes nickname (same as null value).
  • Statistics has been moved to global config.
  • Blacklist has been moved to global config, and affects all bots now.

New file structure is well explained in Configuration.

Your existing (old) structure will be automatically converted into new format when ASF V2.0 is launched for the first time (with old configs). It is highly recommended to make a backup of your config directory prior to launching new ASF. Conversion should be transparent and not cause any issues, but conversion "back" is not possible. It's always a good idea to make a backup. Also, please note that you still need to copy new ASF.json into your old config directory for conversion to be successful.

Auto-updates are implemented

  • ASF now includes auto-updates, which can be configured in global config. Auto updates include not only the boolean switch of enabling and disabling, but also update channel which you want to track (Stable/Experimental). Updates are NOT mandatory, but highly recommended, as using up-to-date version guarantees bugless experience, latest features, stability enhancements and performance improvements.

Updates always consist only of ASF.exe binary. Configs or databases are never touched.

ASF 2FA can now import and use classic 2FA

  • Added support for SteamDesktopAuthenticator .maFile. If you put a .maFile in config directory, ASF will automatically pick it up and convert into it's own format. This is further explained in Escrow under "2FA + ASF 2FA".

Other changes

  • Added many new global and bot config properties. All of them are well explained in Configuration.
  • Added Holiday Sale 2013 with appID of 267420 to the blacklist.
  • ASF will now double-check if account is truly farmed after finishing it's queue, as new games might be added in the meantime.
  • Fixed a rare exception which could happen when ASF tried to redeem a key on enabled but not connected bot instance.

Bugfixes:

  • [2.0.0.7] Fixed one more crash of ASF caused by bad configs
  • [2.0.0.6] Fixed other misc bugs
  • [2.0.0.6] Added !farm, !farm <BOT> and !update commands
  • [2.0.0.5] Fixed a potential crash of ASF caused by bad configs

In any case, I highly recommend reading new wiki as it explains how new ASF works.
