On a side note, does anybody here know when this issue will be looked at? Its a very Major issue for me and my bots and it seems to be for others as well.

 

This should fix it  https://bitbucket.org/jessecar/backpack.tf-automatic/pull-requests/21/backpacktfjs-edited-line-151-to-fix/diff

 

Right now testing it out, but if we think logically at the code, it should work!

You were correct. The other was buried under tons of other trades. 

 

Guy made a mistake and didn't add the key to the trade. He panicked and called my bot a scammer. At least he got his key back, but I did make him feel bad for calling me and my bot a scammer as it was his mistake and he seems to be a well versed trader.

Another user provided a temporary solution, did you try it?

Hi there, I have a problem with automatic for Mac

 

I'm going down the whole list of what to do. So I've installed node.js (also deleted it and reinstalled, so the problem doesn't lie there). After that, I downloaded the latest version (1.3.3 by jessecar). I opened the file with Archive Utility, and the files weren't put into folders like it should have been (so the files appeared as "app\automatic.js" and not actually placed in the app folder which should have been created). I tried installing it and without any success. Next thing I did was extracting it with The Unarchiver, a different archiving service. This popped up after, and when I tried installing it it said "Missing dependencies. Install a version with dependencies (not 'download repository') or use npm install". So I tried 'npm install', whereafter this error popped up. I searched for the log and this is what it said (no package.json file). http://www.filedropper.com/2017-07-04t133211981z-debug 

 

So, I tried installing the previous version (1.3.2) and after filling in node ~/Desktop/backpack.tf-automatic-1.3.2-all/automatic which seemed to do something ("backpack.tf Automatic v1.3.2 starting", etc,) until it gave an error about a file that couldnt be found and displayed a 404. Then it showed the source code for the HTML page (quickly made a test file to look what it contained) which was of course an error 404: Not Found for bitbucket.org. 

 

I ignored it and pressed CTRL + C (which stops the current process in Terminal) and gave the error: Cannot read Steam details: canceled. 

 

After that happened I went searching in the files, I found config.js and inside the file it referred to a file called accounts.json. This file however doesn't exist anywhere in my backpack.tf-automatic folder. 

 

This is where I stopped, I couldn't get any further. I hope you guys can help me out!

My bot keeps spamming this every 11 seconds.

 

14:35:41 - error: Cannot check escrow duration for offer 11JYT6N: offer.warn is not a function

 

I disabled acceptescrow and it keeps posting this error. Any idea how I can fix this? :D

Restart/re-install bot, not a major problem sometimes it does glitch out on offers.

Hey guys. I just set up the bot and it seems to be working fine. I've seen a lot of people having a max stock. Since I know next to nothing about node js, could anyone help me set this up?

The new programm is completely broken because it cant buy anything anymore that does not end on .00 ref

--> (required = 1.77, given = 1.76),

But when you try make lisiting on bp.tf for 1.76 its automatically corrected to 1.77

 

WTF?

If you're talking about the file itself that has the identity secret itself, you don't have to paste, just get it into your computer, I myself just e-mailed it to me.

Hey, quick question, would I be able to run this on a raspberry pi zero w using raspbian? Thanks!

I managed to run it on a raspi, pretty sure it was 2. The main barrier is installing nodeJS and npm, which required a lot of tinkering for the one I used. After you set it up it is a very good solution though.

You create 10. That's how automatic works.

cant other way?

No cause automatic treats items based on their current ID. And that's good cause I only want to sell the items I have listed and not another version that is not for sale of it.

" Again: second quality is not checked as it is currently unsupported in buy orders by backpack.tf (sell orders are okay with them though). This may be added at a future date when secondary quality buy orders are supported by backpack.tf. "

 

any idea when (if) this will be implemented?

thanks

I *think* Jesse is working on an overhaul of automatic. Sorry I can't find the post but I think he said automatic was written poorly (for testing) and he would be working on fixing it. So hopefully he will add features if that is the case.

 

Does it not work if you make a buy order directly from the stats page of the dual quality item? I've never tested it

you will end up buying well-worn items for factory new prices. i strongly recommend against trying it.  some users will even create alts to take advantage of that :)

This probably isn't the right place to put it, but a more dynamic solution is to multiply the base values by 9; i.e. ref=9, rec=3, scrap=1, In the final step you would just do theirs.metal=Number((theirs.metal/9).toFixed(2))

 

edit: forgot to mention that weapons would equal 0.5, which does cause problems with this setup. By convention they count as 0.05, whereas by rounding they would be 0.055...=0.06 which accounts for many of the errors. One solution to this problem would be to check if their is an odd number of weapons being added, if there is then subtract 0.5 and add it after converting the number as 0.05. 

 

Edit Edit:

the better way to do this is

Math.trunc((Math.round(theirs.metal* 9) / 9)*100)/100

and then do edit 1
