Sniper Noob Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 There's tons of free resources and open source examples for making bots, or you could just use bot.tf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsFloofie Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Use Bot.tf or make your own with TF2-Automatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is much better to program your own. Tf2-Automatic has several flaws, and is easily outpaced by even the worst custom bot. This is because tf2-automatic uses the unreliable prices.tf API to price items. On the topic of bot.tf, you will be running a 1 bot, not hundreds. As a result, you can have the bot accept offers much faster. Also, bot.tf is basically a scam with thier prices. It is possible to run a bot for virtually free.

piman Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 For people who are confused, Heroku can be used to host a single bot for free, although its not the most reliable thing in the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, TF2-Automatic seems pretty promising: self-hostable, has active development and can be forked to bring your own changes and fixes.

piman Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I mean, I have a small pricing server running an API that has under and over cutting scripts built-in. Any third grader with scratch can make one of those. With a custom server, you can update extremely quickly, and because your serving a smaller audience, you can use other tactics to have an edge over literally every other trading bot.

piman Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Also, if you use a bot a lot of other people use, there is a heck of a lot more competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aethez Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 The competition is the same, doesnt matter if you use your own "special custom mega good trading bot" or if you use tf2-automatic, bot.tf, scrippy.tf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Li, the creator of Bot.tf states: Quote The core purpose of Bot.tf is to provide the highest quality trading bots around — premium. - snip - Another reason why it cannot be free is the fact that Team Fortress 2 was not ready for mass scale automation at the time. A sudden presence of hundreds of automatic trading bots would probably severly impact the economy negatively, due to the panic this may spread. I knew that I had to introduce these bots to the mass slowly and one way to do it is to add a price tag to it. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
