Wouldn't that ignore the user's privacy setting anyways since it's just listing all the members in the group, private or not. What interface and method should we be looking at?

Or were you referring to the deprecated community XML data?

I wasn't aware of the method you posted above.

While I agree about the inaccurate data point, how is it a violation of privacy if the member list of a group is public data anyway?

As far I know the memberslistxml thing isn't deprecated since there's no WebAPI alternative.

It's also exposed via that API function that SteamTools uses. I didn't claim that Valve was perfect.

The profile and group xml data (xml=1 GET param) has indeed been noted at deprecated 2-3 years ago, although I don't have a citation handy. Also, as of about 2 years ago, it's also more heavily rate limited than previously and has a higher failure rate of getting data.

There are still no Steam Web API replacements for some of the data.

Some people just don't like to use the web api or refuse to / are too lazy to use it.
Hell we have the new native to load kv from string, which is handy for http requests returning vdf.. Or you can use json or w/e.

That was the exact use case I was aiming for when I implemented it. It used to be fairly painful (and ridiculous) to write HTTP requests to disk only to read them back into memory again.

No one noticed me when I had this issue two years ago. *cry*

Works good, i just store them to trie using communityid

Seems that SteamWorks_RestartRequested() isn't firing when masterserver requests a restart to update the server. They just released an update a couple of minutes ago and I got nothing.

I'm using the latest version of SteamWorks and the other events seem to be firing just right. I also can use the HTTP functions perfectly. This is the code I have:

public Action:SteamWorks_RestartRequested ()
{
    LogMessage("Server update requested by master server");

    return Plugin_Handled;
}

What could be going on?

Your game is using a newer version of the iface.
