Hey Bugsy. Sorry for being bothering but i was looking at your code and saw that you have a function to convert a steamID to a communityProfileID. Sometime ago i made one myself and it's much better than that one so i'm sending you it. I profiled both of them so i also sent you the results. They are not absolutely fair, since mine has some lower assumptions but, the algorithm of mine is much better anyway. Feel free to test it, change it, compare it, use it.

Contrary to my initial belief, the profile results don't add the time of a nested function to its caller so take a good look at the results.

(the function name is "converter")

I believe that the assumptions on which my algorithm relies will be always true. If someone can prove that i'm wrong go ahead.

(My variable's naming sucks but since i didn't used it in any plugin, I didn't took the time to cleaning it up)

Yours really seems faster, but it's hard to tell with that much functions profiled, considering the profile is not cumulative, if you jump to another funcion it's execution time won't be added to the func. that called it.

Unfortunately the profiler natives don't work. I'll try doing some optimization in mine and see if I can make it at least a little faster.

You just need to look at:

n | isdigit | 1180000 | 2.583643 / 0.000001 / 0.000857
f | NumString_Add | 60000 | 8.203515 / 0.000090 / 0.000469
f | char_to_num | 1180000 | 2.645098 / 0.000001 / 0.000109
f | num_to_char | 900000 | 1.995075 / 0.000001 / 0.000296

You don't need to optimize yours, just use mine and perfect it.

Yours is much better for this situation because it's a specialized function, mine is more generic, and should work for other uses (not that I know any BTW lol).

Besides, I like doing it to learn a little, it never hurts.

Yes, yours is generic and do many checks. To learn? Go ahead.

When do you think it will be released?

[Spock]

When I do a manual search, I get this error. Is that why it freezes? (the server is not responding)

* [VAC Ban Status] Checking Spock [STEAM_0:1: xxxxxx]
* [VAC Ban Status] Server took too long to respond. Please try again.

I made the checking process much more reliable and stable. Once the sql is done I will release.

343 banned ID's until now.
Amazing
Can't wait for the new version, hopefully it fixes the "unknown_" error.
