Thanks for sharing this, Zeph. Pretty amazing.

It works perfectly, tested it on a TF2 server.

EDIT: Running in to an issue with adding more admins to contact. Should this be in the format of:

"1" "steamid"
"2" "steamid" ?

This is simply a frame work right nothing in it to send reports? Or does it handle that as well internally not through the available api?

it has a sample (fully working) plugin to send reports through steam without the need for any external application, it uses an extension that connects to a bot account that adds the specified ppl on its friendlist and messages them in case of a report, its fully usable as is, but as popoklopsi and impact released their own framework I would work out something with them, theres no point having two APIs, so we should merge our code as it seems to be the best, whether its adding features from mine to theirs or reverse

edit: the reason i would think a merge (fusion?) would be appropiate so it could reach out to low budget servers without an own webhost or mysql and we could both learn from eachother's code for sure

Not sure if you care to take suggestions at this stage of development. But if you do, I have one. Maybe make it possible for the bot to not send reports to the listed admins when their status is set to Busy. Anyway, about the above post, I set it up in that format and we both don't receive messages so I'm not sure what could be wrong.

The frame work is what I am interested in for my report to forums plugin. Just finished up the api for it. So altering admins via steam would be a nice addition once the bugs are worked out of the core rtf plugin.

I would like to see this method win out as having admins download a separate client would suck

in logs you can verify it did log into steam, the bot should be online and reported to be playing on steam, you have to disable steamguard on the bot account in order to log in properly, if you have tf2 server you may have to go into gamedata and decrease the offsets by as they are pretty much assumptions yet and should be tested on more platforms and games, if you cant figure it out you can add me on steam and i can help you set it up

Oh I have it setup and sending reports to a single steam account. The issue is when I add another steam to the recipients.txt.

I think this is a very good idea, for all of us and for the community.
