Bliss Autopricer

⚠️ IMPORTANT FOR EXISTING USERS: If you're upgrading from a previous version, you MUST re-scan or re-add your bots after installation. The bot configuration system has been completely overhauled to use direct file paths. Run npm run setup or use the web interface at http://localhost:3000/bot-config to reconfigure your bots.

An advanced TF2 item pricing system that uses live backpack.tf listings and Steam Community Market data to generate intelligent, profitable prices for TF2Autobot. This enhanced fork builds upon Jack Richards' excellent original autopricer with significant improvements to reliability, multi-bot support, and pricing intelligence.

If you've already cloned the repository and want to update to the latest version:

cd bliss-autopricer
git pull origin
npm install

Your configuration files (pricerConfig.json, files/) will be preserved during updates.

For deployments with multiple autopricer instances, you can use the backpack-tf-socket-relay to share a single websocket connection to backpack.tf.

1. Start your relay server (default port 7789):

   # In your relay server directory
   npm start

2. Configure autopricer via web interface at /settings or manually in config.json:

   {
     "websocketRelay": {
       "enabled": true,
       "protocol": "ws",
       "host": "localhost",
       "port": 7789
     }
   }

3. Restart autopricer to use relay connection

The autopricer will connect to ws://localhost:7789/relay when relay mode is enabled.

• Multiple Instances: Run several autopricing instances with one backpack.tf connection
• Reduced API Load: Single websocket connection shared across all instances
• Better Reliability: Centralized connection management with automatic failover
• Compliance: Respects backpack.tf's single connection per API key limitation
