Epic program! (You should mention that you must set up a community url for item tracking to work!)
[QUOTE=ZokunuZer0;36116740]Sup guys, Today I tried this thing out, and went start idling, it shows a box and says Invalid Box Parameter "/Steam exe -name- password- applaunch 440....etc. So I clicked Idle Unsandboxed(IDK what that means==''), it's connected but 2 mins later it says Steamath: Client (name) received failure code 8. Littlehelp: Info: I have 4GB RAM. I have 1 Premium Account I have the free/trial version of sandbox(which IDK what to do) And I have money(which can buy Premium if I get this working thx) EDIT: Ok I just fixed it a moment ago by doing API,rename stuff. It was idling for a while(with 1 account). Then I closed it(don't ask why), and opened it again and all the information in the setting/Add Account was gone! So i had to type it all up again, and update GCF and when I tried to Idle, it just updates TF2 ==''. Can someone make a video tutorial for this? It would really help :) or Step by Step Instructions which actually make sense? Thx -ZokunuZer0[/QUOTE] [URL="http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1102531"]This thread[/URL] should hopefully have a thorough enough guide for you on how to set up your steam accounts and sandboxie. You just need to fill in the details in TF2Idle afterwards.
[url]http://i49.tinypic.com/2wqshew.png[/url] I've been going around in circles for hours. I can idle without Sandboxie. :(
I'm certain this is asked before but we won't see another halocaust again with this will we? It's no different from running them in Sandboxie manually?
Tell you what. Someone add me on steam [url]http://steamcommunity.com/id/MarkGTX580/home[/url] Then we'll talk on Skype. For walking me through this, I will PayPal you $10.00 for your time. Cheers.
I did something wrong. I thought I'd successfully done it but then it started installing TF2. I think I copied something incorrectly somewhere.
Yeap. I really am stuck. I think I set it up with the right directories ect, but despite that I still can't get it to work. You guys are fucking geniuses. *sigh.

Littlehelp: [/QUOTE] I'm getting this same error here which came out of nowhere. And another problem, none of my tf2's will launch, just stuck at the preparing to launch window. Apparently, that's a common problem though, maybe reinstalling will fix it.
Ok guys, I just have ONE problem and that's the symbolic thing where you have to link. CMD Ok, my main Steam Folder is at C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam. And what I did is copy the entire steam folder WITHOUT Steamapps and paste it on my Samsung "G" drive. The G drive looks like this: Sandboxie(Where I installed Sandbox) Steam(the one that I copy paste with no steamapps) Can someone tell me what to type in CMD with these information cuz i don't really understand the thread...thx :)

If anyone has problems with drop item section not displaying the drops... I worked out the problem.. its because the steam vanity id has to be setup for each client. This can be seen from settings/community and also changed to a custom one and then entered in the edit accounts of TF2Idle. I have one remaining problem hoping someone can fix, after idling more than 15 accounts, i start to get a errorbox on clients trying to connect with 'Couldn't Allocate Any Server IP Port' Anyone know how to solve this..

I thought it would save all my configuration. The ini file was still there, but I guess not... oh well... Well just kidding, launched it again and it was all there.
When I start to idle... 2 of my accounts spam "reference count for material" in the command prompt when in text mode. Then it shuts off. Am i missing something here? They where working fine until the recent update.
What does this mean? It showed up when I was idling: ZokunuZer0 Logged in "tf_server_identity account not set: not logging into registered account....etc Current item schema is up to date.... Is their something wrong?

Just a question, how do I save the API key forever?, Because every time I have to save, for each account, and I want to be saved automatically, so stop wasting time.? :smile:
[QUOTE=Skull Spectre;36173474]Just a question, how do I save the API key forever?, Because every time I have to save, for each account, and I want to be saved automatically, so stop wasting time.? :smile:[/QUOTE] You don't save it for each account? You enter it once in the program settings.
[QUOTE=Moussekateer;36176140]You don't save it for each account?

You enter it in the main program settings, in the file menu. There is no such thing as per-account api keys, you only need one to view any public backpack in TF2/Portal 2/Dota 2/whatever

Look, I'm trying to say is that when I have 4 accounts, sometimes adding the API key is what I do, I go into the program, click on the account. I go to the files, settings, after getting the API key first, my first story I put there the API key, then leave, I'll go down the log view, and put add accounts, and ready, then do the same method with others, if I do well, but when you leave and return, not saved.

You enter the API key once, [URL="http://i.imgur.com/W5SzC.png"]here on this screen[/URL]. Once you enter it there and click OK it's saved forever. Then anytime you want to log an account you simply select it and click on add accounts in the drop log view. That's it.
By the way, it would be cool if drop log had an option to put rare crates (#30,#40) in special category (or existing one, "tool", for example). Have many accounts, and its sometimes hard to find certain crate number in huge list. It would be a nice addition as well as ability to deselect idle groups.
I'm not getting any drops lately, and it's NOT the drop cap being reached since I just started... You get a drop every 50-70 mins ye? I ran it for like 2 hours straight with no drop. Even if i actually PLAY the game. I'm pretty much deleting everything and installing it again. This is what I did and might be suspicious: 1)I ran Sandboxed and Unsandboxed - At the same time. 2)GCF could not be copied for some reason when I tried updating , but I'm still connected "ZokunuZer0 is connected. 3)I have a trial version of Sandboxie Is it worth buying the full version of Sandboxie for TF2? I mean a LifeTime Liscense for use at home is like $39.06 Australian Dollars...is it worth it? Thx
