ConVars
The plugin creates a plugin.steamgrouprestrict.cfg in the cfg/sourcemod folder when it's loaded where you can configure these variables.


sm_steamgrouprestrict_groupids (default: "")
List of group ids separated by a comma. Spaces between the value and the comma are trimmed off so feel free to use them for better visibility.

The expected input is the result of
You can get a group's groupID64 by visiting
To convert the groupID64 i used the python console.
I wrote a little web tool where you can convert your group64 ids

This isn't too user friendly so if you have a better idea on how to do this, please let me know!

sm_steamgrouprestrict_notify (default: 1)
Whether or not admins should be notified about kicks.
By default, admins with the BAN flag are considered admins but you can override this with sm_steamgrouprestrict_admin

You can also find the ID by inspecting the discussion page, you will find multiple references to the short id such as `General_29292279`

Re: [ANY] Steam Group Restrict
 

SteamWorks (including SteamTools) will respond that people are a member of your group as soon as they have been invited to that group.

People clicking "ignore" on your invitation will also count as members.

So if I invite you into a restricted group, and you simply click "ignore" on my group invitation; you will unfortunately still be thrown away by this plugin.

Re: [ANY] Steam Group Restrict
 

Didn't know that. Thanks! I guess there isn't much that i can do about that besides using another method like parsing the memberslistxml?

Re: [ANY] Steam Group Restrict
 

It is the way that the Steam (<-> SteamWorks/SteamTools) works that does it, unfortunately.

As I mentioned over on (Post #4) [L4D2] Block black-listed groups members join, you can do the memberslistxml one - however, if you got a multi thousand user group with several pages, it appears to become unreliable.

E.g. memberCount column does not match amount of steamID64's retrieved via e.g. a for each loop on the members data group.

wanna modify kick reason but i can't compile and there is no cvar for this.

Re: [ANY] Steam Group Restrict
 

I've added a new ConVar for it

Re: [ANY] Steam Group Restrict
 

is that correct usage?
sm_steamgrouprestrict_groupids "4294967296"

Re: [ANY] Steam Group Restrict
 

No. Put your group id(s) here and use the result(s) of it as value(s)

Re: [ANY] Steam Group Restrict
 

like this?
sm_steamgrouprestrict_groupids "32814240"

and why is that
