steam ID version
 

There are some sections of sourcemod that still require the old steamID (STEAM_) rather than the new steamID3 ([ULxxxxx]) - sm_addban and the admin.cfg, for example. Is there any plan to upgrade sourcemod to use the newer steamID3 so that a conversion is not required?

Thanks.

Re: steam ID version
 

"[ULxxxxx]" isn't the form of a valid SteamID3 and SM has allowed taking Steam3 in sm_addban and in admins.cfg since 1.7 in October 2014.

sorry, typo, "[U:N:NNNN]"

When I try addban, I get the message "must start with STEAM_"

I will try it again, but it not working is why I asked...


-edit because :x (colon x) just doesn't look right-

From the server console, what's the output of "sm version" and "sm plugin info x" on basebans? You can get the plugin's number off "sm plugin list".

I have the same problem with the admins_simple.cfg file - I haven't got it to work with stamID3.

Thanks for the help.

Re: steam ID version
 

That's from your client's console, not the server.

Re: steam ID version
 

Yes, while connected to the server. I can't get that information from the client alone.

Those are the versions of the plugins. I installed sourcemod 1.8 build 6040 a couple of months ago.

Re: steam ID version
 

OK, I went back and tried the sm_addban command again using the steamID3 [U:] and it did work. The problem is that the "Admin commands (sourcemod)" page does not show the correct format for "sm_addban" - the minutes parameter is not shown like it is in "sm"ban" 2 lines below. It looks like the minutes parameter is required or else you will get the "STEAM_" required error message.

sm_addban 0 [U:1:9999999] works
sm_addban 0 [U:1:9999999] "reason for ban" works

sm_addban [U:1:9999999] does not work

commands page: https://wiki.alliedmods.net/Admin_commands_(sourcemod)

So, any input on using the steamID3 with admins_simple.cfg?
I guess that I need to try that again.

Re: steam ID version
 

Because time is not an optional parameter, either set it in the amount of minutes or 0 for permanent.

Looking at the code repository for basebans, e.g. this link showing the code in March 2008, it appears that the time was also mandatory then.

Looking as sm_banip also have been "time ip reason" forever, while also being documented correctly, I would say it is safe to assume that it has been a mistake made while documenting it on the Wiki.
