Commands it IT

Comandi

ASF supporta diversi comandi, utilizzabili per controllare il comportamento delle istanze di processo e dei bot.

I comandi sotto sono inviabili al bot tramite vari diversi metodi:

• Tramite la console ASF interattiva
• Tramite la chat di gruppo/privata di Steam
• Tramite la nostra interfaccia IPC

Tieni a mente che l'interazione di ASF ti richiede di essere idoneo per il comando in base ai permessi di ASF. Dai un'occhiata alle proprietà di configurazione SteamUserPermissions e SteamOwnerID per ulteriori dettagli.

I comandi eseguiti tramite la chat di Steam sono influenzati da CommandPrefix, la proprietà di configurazione globale, ! di default. Questo significa che per eseguire ad es. il comando status, dovresti in realtà scrivere !status (o il CommandPrefix personalizzato di tua scelta che hai invece impostato). CommandPrefix non è obbligatorio usando la console o l'IPC e può esser emesso.

Console interattiva

ASF has support for interactive console, as long as you're not running ASF in Headless mode. Simply press c button in order to enable command mode, type your command and confirm with enter.

Chat di Steam

Puoi eseguire il comando al bot dato di ASF tramite la chat di Steam. Ovviamente non puoi parlare direttamente da solo, dunque dorai almeno avere un altro profilo del bot se vuoi eseguire comandi diretti al tuo profilo principale.

In modo simile, puoi anche usare la chat di gruppo o il gruppo dato di Steam. Tieni a mente che quest'opzione richiede la proprietà SteamMasterClanID propriamente impostata, nel qual caso il bot ascolterà i comandi anche sulla chat del gruppo (e unisciti se necessario). Questo è anche utilizzabile per "parlare da soli" poiché non richiede un profilo del bot dedicato, al contrario della chat privata. Puoi semplicemente impostare la proprietà SteamMasterClanID al tuo gruppo appena creato, per poi concederti l'accesso al tuo bot tramite SteamOwnerID o SteamUserPermissions. In questo modo il bot ASF (tu) si unirà al gruppo e alla chat del gruppo selezionato, e ascolterà i comandi provenienti dal tuo account. Puoi unirti alla stessa chat di gruppo per inviare comandi a te stesso (in quanto invierai un comando alla chat del gruppo, e l'istanza di ASF presente nella stessa li riceverà, anche se ti sembra che solo il tuo account sia presente).

Considera che l'invio di un comando alla chat di gruppo agisce come un relè. Se stai scrivendo redeem X a 3 bot presenti assieme a te nella chat di gruppo, risulterà lo stesso che scrivere redeem X a ognuno di loro privatamente. In most cases this is not what you want, and instead you should use given bot command that is being sent to a single bot in private window. ASF supports group chat, as in many cases it can be useful source for communication with your only bot, but you should almost never execute any command on the group chat if there are 2 or more ASF bots sitting there, unless you fully understand ASF behaviour written here and you in fact want to relay the same command to every single bot that is listening to you.

And even in this case you should use private chat with [Bots] syntax instead.

IPC

The most advanced and flexible way of executing commands, perfect for user interaction (ASF-ui) as well as third-party tools or scripting (ASF API), requires ASF to be run in IPC mode, and a client executing command through IPC interface.

Notes

All commands are case-insensitive, but their arguments (such as bot names) are usually case-sensitive.

Arguments follow UNIX philosophy, square brackets [Optional] indicate that given argument is optional, while angle brackets <Mandatory> indicate that given argument is mandatory. You should replace the arguments that you want to declare, such as [Bots] or <Nickname> with actual values that you want to issue the command with, omitting the braces.

[Bots] argument, as indicated by the brackets, is optional in all commands. When specified, command is executed on given bots. When omitted, command is executed on current bot that receives the command (Steam chat), or in according to DefaultBot configured property (IPC and interactive console).

As an example, status A sent to bot B is the same as sending status to bot A, bot B in this case acts only as a proxy. This can also be used for sending commands to bots that are unavailable otherwise, for example starting stopped bots, or executing actions on your main account (that you're using for executing the commands).

Access of the command defines minimum EPermission of SteamUserPermissions that is required to use the command, with an exception of Owner which is SteamOwnerID defined in global configuration file (and highest permission available).

Plural arguments, such as [Bots], <Keys> or <AppIDs> mean that command supports multiple arguments of given type, separated by a comma. For example, status [Bots] can be used as status MyBot,MyOtherBot,Primary. This will cause given command to be executed on all target bots in the same way as you'd send status to each bot in a separate chat window. Please note that there is no space after ,.

ASF uses all whitespace characters as possible delimiters for a command, such as space and newline characters. This means that you don't have to use space for delimiting your arguments, you can as well use any other whitespace character (such as tab or new line).

ASF will "join" extra out-of-range arguments to plural type of the last in-range argument. This means that redeem bot key1 key2 key3 for redeem [Bots] <Keys> will work exactly the same as redeem bot key1,key2,key3. Together with accepting newline as command delimiter, this makes it possible for you to write redeem bot then paste a list of keys separated by any acceptable delimiter character (such as newline), or standard , ASF delimiter. Keep in mind that this trick can be used only for command variant that uses the most amount of arguments (so specifying [Bots] is mandatory in this case).

As you've read above, a space character is being used as a delimiter for a command, therefore it can't be used in arguments. However, also as stated above, ASF can join out-of-range arguments, which means that you're actually able to use a space character in argument that is defined as a last one for given command. For example, nickname bob Great Bob will properly set nickname of bob bot to "Great Bob". In the similar way you can check names containing spaces in owns command.

---

Some commands are also available with their aliases, mostly to save you on typing or account for different dialects:

Command	Alias
addlicense	al, addlicence
addlicense ASF	ala
owns ASF	oa
status ASF	sa
redeem	r
redeem^	r^
redeempoints	rp
rmlicense	rl, rmlicence

---

[Bots] argument

[Bots] argument is a special variant of plural argument, as in addition to accepting multiple values it also offers extra functionality.

First and foremost, [Bots] argument supports predefined "bot groups", which are defined as below:

Nome	Description
@all, ASF	All bots defined in the instance
@farming	Bots that are currently farming
@idle	Bots that are currently not farming
@offline	Bots that are currently not connected to the Steam network
@online	Bots that are currently connected to the Steam network

For example, status ASF command is equal to status all,your,bots,listed,here. This can also be used to easily identify the bots that you have access to, as ASF keyword, despite of targeting all bots, will result in response only from those bots that you can actually send the command to. Other groups are also available in order to more easily execute given command only on specific bots meeting the condition.

[Bots] argument also supports special "range" syntax, which allows you to choose a range of bots more easily. The general syntax for [Bots] in this case is [FirstBot]..[LastBot]. At least one of the arguments must be defined. When using <FirstBot>.., all bots starting from FirstBot are affected. When using ..<LastBot>, all bots until LastBot are affected. When using <FirstBot>..<LastBot>, all bots within range from FirstBot until LastBot are affected. For example, if you have bots named A, B, C, D, E, F, you can execute status B..E, which is equal to status B,C,D,E in this case. When using this syntax, ASF will use alphabetical sorting in order to determine which bots are in your specified range. Arguments must be valid bot names recognized by ASF, otherwise range syntax is entirely skipped.

In addition to range syntax above, [Bots] argument also supports regex matching. You can activate regex pattern by using r!<Pattern> as a bot name, where r! is ASF activator for regex matching, and <Pattern> is your regex pattern. An example of a regex-based bot command would be status r!^\d{3} which will send status command to bots that have a name made out of 3 digits (e.g. 123 and 981). Feel free to take a look at the docs for further explanation and more examples of available regex patterns.

privacy settings

<Settings> argument accepts up to 7 different options, separated as usual with standard comma ASF delimiter. Those are, in order:

Argument	Nome	Child of
1	Profile
2	OwnedGames	Profile
3	Playtime	OwnedGames
4	FriendsList	Profile
5	Inventory	Profile
6	InventoryGifts	Inventory
7	Comments	Profile

For description of above fields, please visit Steam privacy settings.

While valid values for all of them are:

Value	Nome
1	Private
2	FriendsOnly
3	Public

You can use either a case-insensitive name, or a numeric value. Arguments that were omitted will default to being set to Private. It's important to note relation between child and parent of arguments specified above, as child can never have more open permission than its parent. For example, you can't have Public games owned setting while having Private profile setting.

Esempio

If you want to set all privacy settings of your bot named Main to Private, you can use either of below:

privacy Main 1
privacy Main Private

This is because ASF will automatically assume all other settings to be Private, so there is no need to input them. On the other hand, if you'd like to set all privacy settings to Public, then you should use any of below:

privacy Main 3,3,3,3,3,3,3
privacy Main Public,Public,Public,Public,Public,Public,Public

This way you can also set independent options however you like:

privacy Main Public,FriendsOnly,Private,Public,Public,Private,Public

The above will set profile to public, owned games to friends only, playtime to private, friends list to public, inventory to public, inventory gifts to private and profile comments to public. You can achieve the same with numeric values if you want to.

---

Licenses

addlicense and rmlicense commands support two different license types, those are:

Type	Alias	Esempio	Description
app	a	app/292030	Game determined by its unique appID.
sub	s	sub/47807	Package containing one or more games, determined by its unique subID.

The distinction is important, as ASF will use Steam network method for apps, and Steam store method for packages. Those two are not compatible with each other.

When activating new licenses, typically you'll want to specify app for free weekends/permanently F2P games, and package otherwise.

For removal of existing license, both methods will work, although we recommend to remove packages in order to have deterministic and explicit request, as otherwise Steam might remove packages you didn't intend to be removed, especially if your account has more than one package granting access to given app.

We recommend to explicitly define the type of each entry in order to avoid ambiguous results, but for the backwards compatibility, if you omit type entirely, ASF will assume that you ask for sub in this case. You can also query one or more of the licenses at the same time, using standard ASF , delimiter.

Complete command examples:

addlicense ASF app/292030
addlicense ASF sub/303386
rmlicense ASF app/292030,sub/303386

---

owns games

owns command supports several different game types for <games> argument that can be used, those are:

Type	Alias	Esempio	Description
app	a	app/292030	Game determined by its unique appID.
sub	s	sub/47807	Package containing one or more games, determined by its unique subID.
regex	r	regex/^\d{4}:	Regex applying to the game's name, case-sensitive. See the docs for complete syntax and more examples.
nome	n	name/Witcher	Part of the game's name, case-insensitive.

We recommend to explicitly define the type of each entry in order to avoid ambiguous results, but for the backwards compatibility, if you supply invalid type or omit it entirely, ASF will assume that you ask for app if your input is a number, and name otherwise. You can also query one or more of the games at the same time, using standard ASF , delimiter.

Complete command example:

owns ASF app/292030,name/Witcher

---

redeem^ modes

redeem^ command allows you to fine-tune modes that will be used for one single redeem scenario. This works as temporary override of RedeemingPreferences bot config property.

<Modes> argument accepts multiple mode values, separated as usual by a comma. Available mode values are specified below:

Value	Nome	Description
FAWK	ForceAssumeWalletKey	Forces AssumeWalletKeyOnBadActivationCode redeeming preference to be enabled
FD	ForceDistributing	Forces Distributing redeeming preference to be enabled
FF	ForceForwarding	Forces Forwarding redeeming preference to be enabled
FKMG	ForceKeepMissingGames	Forces KeepMissingGames redeeming preference to be enabled
SAWK	SkipAssumeWalletKey	Forces AssumeWalletKeyOnBadActivationCode redeeming preference to be disabled
SD	SkipDistributing	Forces Distributing redeeming preference to be disabled
SF	SkipForwarding	Forces Forwarding redeeming preference to be disabled
SI	SkipInitial	Skips key redemption on initial bot
SKMG	SkipKeepMissingGames	Forces KeepMissingGames redeeming preference to be disabled
V	Validate	Validates keys for proper format and automatically skips invalid ones

For example, we'd like to redeem 3 keys on any of our bots that don't own games yet, but not our primary bot. For achieving that we can use:

redeem^ primary FF,SI key1,key2,key3

It's important to note that advanced redeem overrides only those RedeemingPreferences that you specify in the command. For example, if you've enabled Distributing in your RedeemingPreferences then there will be no difference whether you use FD mode or not, because distributing will be already active regardless, due to RedeemingPreferences that you use. This is why each forcibly enabled override also has a forcibly disabled one, you can decide yourself if you prefer to override disabled with enabled, or vice versa.

---

encrypt command

encrypt command allows you to encrypt arbitrary strings using ASF's encryption methods. <encryptionMethod> must be one of the encryption methods specified and explained in security section. We recommend to use this command through secure channels (ASF console or IPC interface, which also has a dedicated API endpoint for it), as otherwise sensitive details might get logged by various third-parties (such as chat messages being logged by Steam servers).

---

hash command

hash command allows you to generate hashes of arbitrary strings using ASF's hashing methods. <hashingMethod> must be one of the hashing methods specified and explained in security section. We recommend to use this command through secure channels (ASF console or IPC interface, which also has a dedicated API endpoint for it), as otherwise sensitive details might get logged by various third-parties (such as chat messages being logged by Steam servers).

---

input command

input command can be used only in Headless mode, for inputting given data via IPC or Steam chat when ASF is running without support for user interaction.

General syntax is input [Bots] <Type> <Value>.

<Type> is case-insensitive and defines input type recognized by ASF. Currently ASF recognizes following types:

Type	Description
Login	SteamLogin bot config property, if missing from config.
Password	SteamPassword bot config property, if missing from config.
SteamGuard	Auth code sent on your e-mail if you're not using 2FA.
SteamParentalCode	SteamParentalCode bot config property, if missing from config.
TwoFactorAuthentication	2FA token generated from your mobile, if you're using 2FA but not ASF 2FA.

<Value> is value set for given type. Currently all values are strings.

Esempio

Let's say that we have a bot that is protected by SteamGuard in non-2FA mode. We want to launch that bot with Headless set to true.

In order to do that, we need to execute following commands:

start MySteamGuardBot -> Bot will attempt to log in, fail due to AuthCode needed, then stop due to running in Headless mode. We need this in order to make Steam network send us auth code on our e-mail - if there was no need for that, we'd skip this step entirely.

input MySteamGuardBot SteamGuard ABCDE -> We set SteamGuard input of MySteamGuardBot bot to ABCDE. Of course, ABCDE in this case is auth code that we got on our e-mail.

start MySteamGuardBot -> We start our (stopped) bot again, this time it automatically uses auth code that we set in previous command, properly logging in, then clearing it.

In the same way we can access 2FA-protected bots (if they're not using ASF 2FA), as well as setting other required properties during runtime.

Recognized rarities

ASF recognizes following rarities:

Rarity	Alias
Unknown
Common
Uncommon
Rare
Mythical	Epic
Legendary	Exotic
Ancient	Extraordinary
Immortal	Contraband
Arcana
Unusual

Not recognized by ASF rarities (other than defined above) will be defined as Unknown.
