I think the bots are not recognizing Dota 2 Treasure keys correctly in trades
I've now had at least 3 or 4 people tell me that they could not do this trade: http://dispenser.tf/trade/36415/
I know this because they add me to do the trade in person, after they can't get it to work on the bot.
In fact, I think I've never had a successful trade here for a Dota 2 Treasure key, even though I've had trades posted for long periods of time (sometimes the prices are even reasonable ;)
Valve keeps screwing around with Dota 2 keys, adding new keys, so I guess that's probably where the problem is coming from. I've noticed TF2OP having trouble getting the right icon for each key, for example.
I have never played dota2. There are 3 types of keys in the schema (as for why they are not identified correctly). I don't want to make mistakes about making alias to the keys. Could you tell me the difference between original, 'Frostivus' and 'International' keys?
I don't play Dota 2 very often, unfortunately. I didn't start the game for a month. I'm not 100% certain if all keys alias to the standard Treasure Key (15003). Though if I can help test something, let me know. Or maybe you can post a question on reddit r/dota2trade (edit: maybe http://dev.dota2.com/ would be better)
It's very confusing, there are actually 8 different keys in the Schema already. Though only about 3 of them are active, I think
Maybe the way to sort it out is that they all have the "tool": "type": "decoder_ring", like TF2
You can check the active keys in the official store, like this: http://dota2.com/store/itemdetailsbydefindex/15003
And also look them up: http://optf2.com/d2/item/15003 and http://www.dota2wiki.com/wiki/Frostivus_Treasure_Key
Treasure Key 15003
Sithil's Summer Key 15045
The Defense 2 Key 15046 (not tradable)
The International Treasure Key 15074
Diretide Treasure Key 15098
Frostivus Treasure Key 15115
Dark Treasure Key 15121
Treasure Key of the Forbidden Lotus 15126
edit:
BTW, dispenser.tf web interface seems have no problem displaying the keys on my bot correctly. It has 2x 15115 and 10x 15003 in its inventory, according to the API (GetPlayerItems), and that's exactly what I see in the browser when I look at my shop
