i'd prefer the system to move to the new format whilst still maintaining compatibility for the old format in 1.6.x then in 1.7+ completely move to the new format. makes more sense that way to me, i fixed my rankings plugin and the players on my servers are happy so admin permissions can wait until something more solid is done

I can only say the same thing so many ways.

In 1.6 snapshots, everything is back to using the old ids and will continue to do so as other games are updated with that change. If you don't mess with your configs and database, everything will just work as-is.

In 1.7 and onward, we haven't touched anything yet. We do plan to make the admin system compatible with multiple id formats, as well as have multiple id formats available for retrieval. There is no ETA for this.

I can at-least confirm that for build 1.6.0 setting the identity field to the new format: [U:1:76470771] will grant me admin access; tested using the threaded mysql admin plugin that comes with SourceMod.

Edit: Want to point out for anyone in the same scenario as me, make sure this steam ID has the square brackets on the outsides... U:1:76470771 will not work, however [U:1:76470771] will work.

im going to take a sneaky peek at some 1.6.0 release scripting and perhaps see if i can do anything for my own servers. everythings fine except admin permissions arent correct

i can confirm that admins_simple.ini does not work with the new steamid format in 1.6.0

i'd converted all my files/databases to use the new format already so i thought id have a go at editing the admin-flatfile plugin

... found a line that checks for STEAM_ at the begining... looks familiar... changed it to [U:1: ...

compiled... reloaded on server...

well uh.. that was simple... i fixed the admins stuffs! lolz my god im actually bloomin' amazed how easy that was!

plugins.zip contains source since it will not compile normally on the forums

If someone use that (for example in SM 1.7), better version:

stock bool:GetClientAuthString_OldStyle(client, String:authStringDest[], strSize, bool:validate = true)
{    
    new accountID = GetSteamAccountID(client, validate);
    
    if(accountID == 0)
        return false;
    
    FormatEx(authStringDest, strSize, "STEAM_0:%i:%i", (accountID & 1), accountID >> 1);
    return true;
}

Wait so I can just use this plugin with 1.7 snapshots and everything will work?

Jesus christ I don't have to downgrade the SourceMod on 4 servers now! (1 for me, 1 for ArchangelGabriel and 2 for AwesomeX)....wait, 5. I forgot about my Fistful of Frags server.

[Spartan_C001]

I can confirm it works with admins_simple.ini and the new steamid format, all is working great even on my sniper server running 1.5.2

Edit: abrandnewday, this is for any snapshot of sourcemod that does not have the altered version of GetClientAuthString(), so 1.7 should work, howver i do have a windows copy of 1.6.2 release that does not include the changes. Im not sure if the releases now include thw changes, or if those will be left until the next release

the new id format
exp:
STEAM_0:1:12343200
to:
[U:1:24686401]
