Using BAT file

Eefrit edited this page Jul 30, 2016 · 7 revisions

To ease up process of using SIDI, you could create BAT-files for every account you idle games on. Just follow these easy steps:

  1. Create a file username - game.bat (where username is your login or nickname in Steam and game is a name of a game you want to idle) (actually the name of file could be anything - using your username is just simplifiyng the process of running it later)
  2. If you intend to run the file directly from SIDI root folder - edit this file and write something like that in it (separate values with space): SteamItemDropIdler.exe username password AppID Definition (username - it's your Steam login) (password - it's your Steam password) (AppID - AppID of your desired game) (Definition - it's Drop List Definition for this game). For example: if you want to idle Team Fortress 2 - you would have a line like this: SteamItemDropIdler.exe SteamUser verystrongpassword123 440 0. Note: if your password have spaces in it - use " symbols to wrap it (SteamItemDropIdler.exe SteamUser "very strong password123" 440 0)
  3. If you intend to run the file from anywhere else - you have to input full path to the application. If this path have spaces - you have to use " symbols. Using our old example and having SIDI in D:\Games\Steam Drop Idler\ folder we would have a line like this: "D:\Games\Steam Drop Idler\SteamItemDropIdler.exe" SteamUser "very strong password123" 440 0
  4. Save the file and run it to check.
