Can this ASF plugin be used to queue subIDs manually copied from the source page of SteamDB's /freepackages/? This would allow the plugin to manage the rate-limit, so this could be handy to activate many packages from before the first run of the plugin.
I understand this is not the point of the plugin, but I wonder if you think this would be a bad idea to manually edit the JSON file with many IDs. If you believe this is possible, would you mind clarifying if changing the Type would allow to submit a subID instead of an appID as ID.
Edit: I suspect the Type is used to distinguish between games, demos, etc.
Type is defined here, it's used to differentiate between apps and subs, which are activated in different ways. (Demo there should instead be Beta, which means playtests)
This is something I do plan on implementing in the future. I'd like to create an alternative to ASF's addlicense command which adds items to this plugin's queue. I'd also like to create a userscript which will display a command on SteamDB's Free Packages page the same way it currently displays the addlicense command.
I see that some IDs can appear in
Bot_FreePackages.db
. For instance:I don't know what "Type" is, but I can see that "ID" is the appID here:
The Great Smog Demo
No Stone Unturned Prologue
