The Python version of Idle Master

idle_master_py's Issues

Please update python version

i'm working on linux everyday, and i want to idle all my steam games on linux.
but this idle_master_py no update to the latest version of steam client.
so please update

Sorry about my bad english.

Need HTTPS to work now

Steam is now only accessible with HTTPS. I assume you only fetch badges page via HTTP and don't use redirects there. So badges page GET fails right away.

Need to fix all curls to use HTTPS.

Cannot log in to Steam

Hello,

When I start idlemaster on my Debian 7, I've got this error :

mathisca@domain:~/idle/idle_master_py/Releases/Linux$ python start.py

I used the cookies of Idlemaster Windows and from my browser and I can't manage to make it work.
Do you have a fix ? Thank you

ubuntu 16.04 error: No parser was explicitly specified

/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bs4/init.py:166: UserWarning: No parser was explicitly specified, so I'm using the best available HTML parser for this system ("lxml"). This usually isn't a problem, but if you run this code on another system, or in a different virtual environment, it may use a different parser and behave differently.

To get rid of this warning, change this:

BeautifulSoup([your markup])

to this:

BeautifulSoup([your markup], "lxml")

markup_type=markup_type))

how does it work?

how does the thing make steam think that the game is running? even if i dont have the game installed. ho does that work??? i was thinking about making another version like this but with gui and stuff. it would be even more up to date and stuff.

please tell me how to simulate game running on steam

Invalid cookie data, cannot log in to Steam

Hi
I've used this for quite a long time and now it just won't work.
I know cookies change and they're correct. I've done it over and over again before.

Any help here?

Thanks

Blacklist not working on Linux

I've been using idle master on Linux but now it's gotten stuck on a game thinking it has cards left to drop when it has none. The game is Letter Quest Grimm's Journey Remastered, appid 373970. I added the ID to blacklist.txt but idle master seems to ignore this. I see no mention of blacklist even being loaded when idle master starts.

Duplication of python scripts

start.py and steam-idle.py are duplicated in multiple places.
Releases/Linux/
Source/Idle Master/
Source/steam-idle-py/

From a contributor perspective, I am unsure how to handle this. Should I commit changes to all locations (which would be annoying)? Or should the Linux/ version be considered a fork at this point?

How do I download Idle Master on Linux?

I'm new to Linux and I have literally no idea how to download this program? can I get some instructions? keep in mind that I'm pretty much a Linux noob.

Thx in advance :)

Idle master "doesn't loop"

Hi.
First of all, thanks for this project, it's amazing to have a *nix port of Idle Master.
However, at first it worked without any issue... Now this happens: i launch Idle Master, it starts dropping cards, and when a game has finished dropping, it doesn't move to the next game, it stops to "Sleeping for 5 minutes", and it repeats it forever.
The thing is, if i'm at the computer i can stop the program and launch it again, but if i want to launch it and go to bed, next morning it only dropped cards for one single game.

What can i do?
Thanks in advance!

Can't find games have card drops remaining

https://github.com/jshackles/idle_master works fine & idles 85 games, but it would auto logout from time to time on my Parallels Desktop VM instance. Tried this repo, fulfilled the settings.txt according to Setup Instructions, then got below messages:

./start
Finding games that have card drops remaining
No games have been blacklisted
Idle Master needs to idle 0 games
Successfully completed idling

Can't figure out how to fix it.

[Question] How do I get this running on MacOS?

Sorry to bother! I downloaded the entire zip to my Macbook Pro but under the Releases/MacOS folder, I'm not seeing any file that I run. I'm really sorry for being so clueless

no more cards to idle

for me it says that there are no more cards to idle but when i go to my badges and check there are many.. MANY more cards to get..

happened since 3 Jan 2017

Invalid cookie data

Hi there,
I used Idle Master py for quite a long time, always had the same setup/settings, but since the latest Steam client update (not sure if a coincidence) I cannot login anymore: Invalid cookie data is the error message I get.

I use cookies from Google Chrome and I tried countless time to set up the settings file, without success. I also noticed that every time I close and re-open my browser, the "sessionid" and "steamparental" cookies have different content.. don't know if that is standard behaviour or not.

Is there anything else I can try?
Thanks

Use steampy by bucson to log in

Use steampy lib by bucson to login into steam on linus servers, bcs if i put my settings from browser to linux server idle not works, bcs ip change

FYI: python-colorama is also needed to run the script.

Title. (running Debian Jessie).

Thanks for Idle Master 👍

settings.txt shouldn't be in the repository

settings.txt should be read from a user folder (e.g. ~/.config/idlemaster/ or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/idlemaster on Linux). The problem with having this file in the repository is that contributors might publicly commit their steam account cookie by accident, compromising their account.

Don't working Ubuntu 15.04

Not working, installed python2.7, python3, python-bs4 python-requests python-pil.imagetk python-colorama

I have filled settings.txt as were written in pdf. sessionid and steamLogin

Did anyone meet this question ?

Commandline-Only version?

Is there any possibility to have a commandline only version of this tool?

I really like the tool but do not see the advantage of an image floating around on my desktop.

Actually I planned to maybe setting this up on a server which has no GUI at all.

Support for Raspberry Pi

It would be interesting support for raspberry, it would be really cool of you to make it work in arm.

Having to copy cookie from browser twice a day or so?

idle_master.py is working fine for me, however I find that I need to update my SteamLogin cookie in settings.txt from my browser every twelve hours or so.

The sessionid doesn't change, but the SteamLogin cookie does.

The browser never logs out, but idle_master.py does, and it gives this error --

[ 05/27/2016 08:16:31 PM ] Still unable to find drop info.
[ 05/27/2016 08:16:31 PM ] Sleeping for 5 minutes.

... until I stop it and fix the problem and restart.

Reloading steamcommunity.com in my browser doesn't seem to affect it, and my browser never logs out -- just idle master.

Any way of fixing this?

Pure game time idler

I've adjusted the python script a bit to make it possible that it runs with the steam API and without session/webbrowser. It can also run games in parallel and picks everytime the games with the lowest playtime.
It has a setting for the amount of games and the single loop duration.

settings.py

steamLogin = ""
apiKey = ""
parallel = 6
sleeping = 5

These values are need - the steamLogin just to extract the steamID. It's running pretty well.
I've also adjusted some other things like the log location and that it creates everytime a new log file and things like this.

With this you can decrease the amount of unplayed games and increase the play time for every game and with this also your total time.

Commands on MacOS?

Hi,i couldn't found any additional commands on MacOS for skip current game and etc.
For example, in full Windows version it has more features, but i think it could be in terminal via commands too.

P.S. Sorry for my English.

Is it working or not?

Hey,
I'm using Idle Master on Windows and have no problems at all there.
Now I have read here that we can use Idle Master on Linux too, so I'm trying it.
I have installed everything and put the cookie stuff on the settings.txt and get it some kind of working?
I just dont know if its now working correctly or not?
I'm getting this output on ssh.

Doesnt work when steam is running with firejail

Doesn't appear to work when steam is running with firejail

No fake process is started [Linux]

Dear maintainer,

idle_master always worked fine for me, so thank you for making this.

Today I tried to idle some more games but no process spawn.
It does get the games that need to idle but after "Loading Linux 64bit library" nothing happens.

Did steam change anything that broke this?
I also tried to get a new libsteam_api.so but then idle_master didnt work at all.
-edit- had the 32bit library... using a newer 64bit library didn't change anything.

Thank you.

Can't run Idle-Master on mac

For some reason, the files for running the Mac version of Idle-Master-py shows up as a jumble of letters. It can't be run, even if the files are renamed with .py at the end.

How can I make it so it will just continually idle a game?

All I want is to idle a certain game as I have no more card drops, I just need more hours in the game.
