ItemIdentifiers

An item identifier is an input used in certain commands which allows you target specific items or groups of items. If a command allows for multiple item identifiers, each identifier must be separated with && instead of a comma. The valid formats for an item identifier are as follows:

Format	Example
ItemName	The identifier Gems will match the all "Gems" items
ItemType	The identifier Steam Gems will match all "Sack of Gems" and "Gems" items
HashName	The identifiers 753-Sack of Gems or 753-Sack%20of%20Gems will match all "Sack of Gems" items
AppID::ContextID	The identifier 753::6 will match with all Steam Community items
AppID::ContextID::ClassID	The identifier 753::6::667933237 will match all "Sack of Gems" items

Note

Information on how to determine an item's AppID, ContextID, ClassID, ItemName, ItemType, and HashName may be found here.

AllowCraftUntradableBoosters

bool type with default value of true. This configuration setting can be added to your ASF.json config file. If set to false, untradable gems will not be used to craft boosters, and the unpackgems command will not unpack untradable "Sack of Gems".

"AllowCraftUntradableBoosters": false,

---

AllowCraftUnmarketableBoosters

bool type with default value of true. This configuration setting can be added to your ASF.json config file. If set to false, the plugin will not craft unmarketable boosters.

"AllowCraftUnmarketableBoosters": false,

Note

The plugin cannot immediately detect when a game's boosters switch from being marketable to unmarketable. It will usually take ~4 hours to detect this change.

---

GamesToBooster

HashSet<uint> type with default value of []. This configuration setting can be added to your individual bot config files. It will automatically add all of the AppIDs to that bot's booster queue, and will automatically re-queue them after they've been crafted.

Example:

"GamesToBooster": [730, 570],

Note

It's not possible to remove any of these AppIDs from the booster queue using any commands. Any changes you want to make will need to be made in the configuration file.

---

BoosterDataAPI

string type with no default value. This configuration setting can be added to your ASF.json config file. When the logboosterdata command is used, booster data will be gathered and sent to the API located at the specified url.

Example:

"BoosterDataAPI": "http://localhost/api/boosters",

You will need to design your API to accept requests and return responses per the following specifications:

Request

Method: POST

Content-Type: application/json

Name	Type	Description
steamid	ulong	SteamID of the bot that data belongs to
source	string	https://steamcommunity.com/tradingcards/boostercreator/
