Difference between TF2Autobot and tf2-automatic

TF2Autobot adds advantageous features on top of the original features in the tf2-automatic repository. Let me list some notable features in the original tf2-automatic and some that have been added in TF2Autobot:

Original tf2-automatic

• Free auto pricing (using prices from prices.tf) and unlimited listings (only limited by your backpack.tf listings cap).
• Automatically craft/smelt pure metal (to maintain supply in all metal types).
• Dupe check on items that are more than a certain amount of keys (you decide/set the number of keys).
• Trade offer review (if you were offered an invalid value/item, the item is overstocked, or the item is duped).

TF2Autobot version

  • Use Discord Webhooks for your bot to send accepted trade summaries, pending trade offer reviews, and/or private messages to a Discord server.
  • Disable mention owner on pending trade offers with INVALID_VALUE.
• Autokeys:
  • Enable Autokeys (to maintain ample refined metal stock) and key banking.
• Manual review:
  • Send the trade partner a summary of their offer if it needs to be reviewed.
  • Automatically accept trades that underpay by a certain amount of refined with INVALID_VALUE exception (you decide/set the amount of refined and can be enabled only for certain item qualities).
  • Automatically decline (skip manual review) ONLY INVALID_VALUE trade (if it does not meet the set requirements for INVALID_VALUE exception).

• Custom Listing Note:
  • Set a custom buy or sell order listing note for any item of your choice!

Added features

Discord Webhook feature

Instead of your bot sending trade summaries, trade offer reviews, and messages to you via Steam Chat, your bot is able to send it to different channels in your Discord server! If you want to interact with the trade offer reviews and messages sent by your Discord Webhook, you must install tf2-autocord.

Screenshots:

• Trade summary (or live-trades) -

• Offer review (when trade partner sent wrong value/overstocked/etc) -

• Messages (when the trade partner uses “!message” command -

• Price update (Discord Only) - Show the price changes for each item on your pricelist -

You can also set it to send only the trade summary via Discord and have others (like Offer review and Messages) still sent to you via Steam Chat.

Note: it’s also an option to show key rate/pure stock/quick links on each Webhook message.

If you want to use this feature, you must use the ecosystem.template.json from this version. It contains many more variables for you to fill in.

Autokeys (auto-buy or sell keys) feature

When this feature is enabled, your bot will automatically buy or sell keys depending on the amount of pure your bot currently has. You’ll need to set your minimum/maximum keys and minimum/maximum refined metals in your options.json file. Additional explanation can be found here.

Some screenshots:

• When your bot has enough keys to sell (when your ref < minimum) OR enough ref to buy more keys (when your ref > maximum and keys < max):

• When your bot doesn’t have enough keys to sell, Autokeys will not be active:

Trade partner commands

Offer review summary on the trade partner side

INVALID_VALUE exception

If you’re having your bot trade Unusuals or Australiums (which the value, as we know, is more than 5 keys), and someone sends a trade offer with 0.11 ref underpay, your bot will skip this offer and send you a notification to review this offer. With this exception, your bot will accept the trade as long as the underpay is less than the exceptional value that you’ve set. To use this feature, you’ll need to set the exception value on both INVALID_VALUE_EXCEPTION_SKUS and INVALID_VALUE_EXCEPTION_VALUE_IN_REF. See here.

New bot reply when adding/updating an item

Support buy orders for specific targeted items

Support sell orders as well as buy orders for Crates/Skins/War paints

This was not possible on tf2-automatic.
