Resolved Anyone else having trouble with the trade bot?

[LucasRCD]

It appears to not be accepting trades for the past two days by now. Usually I expect there to be some delay between the trade request being sent and it being accepted if it's like trading a metric ton of items at once, sometimes not going through at all on the first try but working when retrying, but even a single scrap trade isn't going through currently.

I don't see any talk of this on the Discord or any announcement regarding downtime or maintenance, so I figured I'd bring attention to it on the forums instead.

What are you trying to do? Buy metal?
Or do you mean the donorbot to get donor status?

 

[LucasRCD]

I'm just trying to buy metal.

I should also take this opportunity to point out that two of the gambling commands have been broken for a while as well, they're always having the same result no matter which option you take (heads or tails resulting in a loss 100% of the time for !coinflip, [9] [7] [7] for !slots), as it ties back into being able to buy metal in the first place. I've lost 100K worth of credits because I unassumedly tried my luck a couple weeks ago after the whole thing about custom betting amounts getting fixed, only to find out it became unintentionally rigged in place of handing out free wins like it's candy.

Interesting, I'll see if I can look into this if I have the time.

So uh, any luck with the bot so far? Just checking since the issue is still unresolved.

I won't be able to take action myself, only do some investigation and then pass on the information to people who can fix the bot.
I'm also currently overseas and away from my regular setup.

Understandable. So, weird thing is, I just tested it now, and discovered something: The bot declines trades correctly if you try purchasing anything that's too expensive, as it should. Meaning the bot is technically operational, just not processing successful attempts at purchasing metal.

I also noticed that it keeps saying the Scrap, Reclaimed and Refined reserves are all at 0 when checking the Stock in-game, which is an outright lie. I wonder if the bot somehow desynced and that's what's causing the discrepancy.

If I remember correctly, Benedevil mentioned something about the steam API causing issues or something like that. Not sure if that's still an issue.

The Steam API does have a bit of delay in updating inventories, as it can take anywhere between 5 to 20 minutes, and there was some major downtime about a week ago that affected places like scrap.tf and made trading basically impossible; the issues with the Storebot started before the downtime though. I doubt it's got anything to do with gladiator.tf shutting down either, unless you guys relied on that site's services to host your bots.

Store Bot is still not working. Why?
1. I'm not F2P
2. I don't have trade hold
3. I have enough credits
4. I have Steam Guard
(The bot doesn't accept trade)

Still broken... Maybe the bot has a full inventory... or perhaps its a more complex issue with the API
