Advanced Mann-Conomy: How to idle with multiple accounts - Games

[QUOTE=ric20007;35210160]Yes, i do that to save some ram, and I still get drops, probably your accounts just disconnect after a while. How do you changelevel in textmode ?[/QUOTE] make a script before you launch it

Anyone know what these errors are? Will it stop me from getting drops? I think it will. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/KUrB0.png[/IMG]

[QUOTE=rakkie20;35258299]Don't worry about the matchmaking stuff, the vac mode disabled means you won't get any drops though.[/QUOTE] yeah you were right, I idled over night and got all the drops for them.

[QUOTE=AlfieGroove;35258350]yeah you were right, I idled over night and got all the drops for them.[/QUOTE] Even with VAC disabled? Mine is always enabled.

[QUOTE=rakkie20;35258529]Even with VAC disabled? Mine is always enabled.[/QUOTE] yeah, this is all the shit that pops up when I launch, the accounts have had vac disabled for ages. I've tried to cut it down by using a custom config and removing those custom commands or putting sv_cheats 1 before them, but it just resets it back to normal, quite annoying.

so is the drop rate around 12? if that's so, then why is one of my accounts currently at 18 drops in 9 hours. (I idled last week too, and something like this hasn't happened to me before)

It varies from 6 weapons to as much as 12. It's fairly random, so when ever I do any drop related calculations I use the average of 9 weapons per account. Thanks to discrepancies, the 288 weapons per week I'd expect from my 32 accounts is about what I get, plus the occasional hat and tool.

Hey everyone I haven't been on here for awhile. I wanted to try idling again (I have 8 accounts), and now when I try running an account Steam gives me an error "Could not connect to the Steam network" and "You do not have enough disk space". Is this a problem with my Sandbox? Any help would be appreciated. By the way, I can log in manually just fine. ***EDIT*** Ok, I fixed that problem and the idling pops up. Some that concerns me, though is that I get something in the command prompt that says "Unable to load Steam support library. This server will operate in LAN mode only". Should I be concerned? Or is that normal?

[QUOTE=ric20007;35210160]How do you changelevel in textmode ?[/QUOTE] You stop running a client-based server and install srcds onto your computer, and +connect to that IP.

What happens when you get this? [code]CClientSteamContext OnSteamServersDisconnected logged on = 0 CClientSteamContext OnSteamServerConnectFailure logged on = 0 CClientSteamContext OnSteamServersConnected logged on = 1[/code] Does this mean I've actually reconnected and will continue to receive drops? Or would I have to terminate and restart the whole process again?

If I try and reconnect within a minute it gives me some bullshit error about steam validation being rejected. Good old valve, booting me out of their games just because their servers can't keep up the connection.

Hey, I have done everything in the tutorial, everything works fine... except, when I try to launch the file, which starts all the idling steam accounts and TF2 in idle mode, it tries to start Steam, but it throws an error message: "[I]Could not connect to Steam network. This could be due to a...[/I] *bla bla bla*..." EDIT: When I try to manually launch the Steams from their own respective folders (Program Files/Idle/Steam1, Program Files/Idle/Steam2 etc.) it works just fine. Any ideas? EDIT2: Also, this, when I try to re-add the Steam1 folder (or any others) to Sandboxie access [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/WN6U8.png[/IMG]

Bump Still need help.

[QUOTE=Satane;35290042]wrong forum buddy[/QUOTE] So, will you help? (By the way, sorry for that.)

I'm guessing Satane would be suggesting to go to [url=http://facepunch.com/forums/107]Tech Support[/url] for that kind of question. Otherwise I would suggest reading through this thread in it's entirety if you haven't, people have been having issues with Sandboxie here so I'm sure you may find the answer to the question you've asked. [editline]28th March 2012[/editline] Actually I think I had that issue a few days ago. Try to start it over again a few times (Steam.exe) and make sure the sandbox's steam.exe is added to Direct Access, the sandbox folder and steamapps folder to Full Access. For me it took a few tries to start it up for it to register that there is a Steam Network to connect to.

NVM i got it to work.

I got a problem when I start the idle, everything works and loads up. But it refuses to open tf2 or open the text mode. Any help?

Yeah, seems like Sandboxie doesn't create a proper box and the second Steam refuses to go online. Sure it logs in but it stays in offline mode while the non-box Steam works normally.

Guide worked for me, I'm running 10 accounts right now. Thanks! I did have some trouble setting up the sym links though for some reason. I ended up using Link shell: [url]http://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/linkshellextension.html[/url] works like a charm. I have no idea how some people on the forum got it running at 200 MB per game..I'm at like 550.

I idled over night and I come back and look at task manager. All 6 of my alt accounts are below 30,000 K No idea how

Personally, I find it much easier to create shortcuts of Steam.exe, and add "-silent -login ACCTNAME ACCTPW" to the target line, and then run that exe in its own Sandbox. Does exactly what you do here and is 100x easier/neater, and requires no .bat shit.

does anybody else get frequent steam errors when trying to trade between accounts? (when one is sandboxed and the other is normal)

I can't be the only person with this issue. What do I do with all these .bat files after I make them? Just throw them in some folder? I keep getting an error that says "H:\batch\Rubbinhoodidle.bat" cannot be found.

Anyone else getting this? --------------------------- ERROR --------------------------- Steam.exe (main exception): Unable to start Steam Engine: *SteamStartEngine(0x17e990) failed with error 1: Failed create pipe: 231, Win32 Error 231 "All pipe instances are busy." --------------------------- OK --------------------------- Honestly, I have no idea what I'm doing so go ahead and blame it on my stupidity.

[QUOTE=The Decoy;35537984]does anybody else get frequent steam errors when trying to trade between accounts? (when one is sandboxed and the other is normal)[/QUOTE] Same issue, but I can't find a proper solution. This crap happens even with vmware vs host trading...
