Steam API is really a pain. I guess module needs to check if steam is installed and then using steamclient.so from steam installation.

You have Ubuntu Desktop x64, right? Guess will try in a VM.
Do you have "steamclient.so" in something like ~/.steam/sdk32/?

Yes I have

Question :

Do they trigger at the same time ?

forward Steam_OnValidateClient(ownerAccountID, accountID);

vs

forward client_authorized(id);

[Arkshine]

Yes, more or less.

What does AMXX: At player's connection, it checks if there is a valid steamID, if not, it will check each 0.7 seconds until engine returns a valid steamID for the player, then execute the forward.

What does the module: It checks at server frame when steam API notifies engine about a client being approved.

Usually you will have: client_authorized -> Steam_OnValidateClient -> CSteam3Server::OnGSClientApprove -> "Arkshine<2><STEAM_0:0:172726><>" STEAM USERID validated"
If you want to make sure a client is "officially" validated, you should probably use this module forward.

Here a small update : v1.0.2

It fixes an issue when Steam is installed, module was using the wrong steamclient.so file (thanks zeus for your patience!) and add a feedback message in console if you're using the feature to set a game server account.

Glad I could help. I will continue to test the functionality of this module as I have said ( check PM ).

About

forward Steam_OnValidateClient(ownerAccountID, accountID);

How do I get a player index ( id ) like in ?

forward client_authorized(id);

Both ownerAccountID and accountID return the same value.

[Arkshine]

I guess I could add a native for that. For now you will have to use Steam_CSteamIDToRenderedID to get a rendered steamID and use find_player to get a player's id.

ownerAccountID and accountID can be different value. This can be used to detect family sharing. It's similar to this plugin and some info about it from steam.

I thought of that also but doesn't it make it less efficient than using client_authorized(id) and get_user_authid ?

[Arkshine]

Both forwards are called one time per client connection. One. Not 500 times/seconds. This makes really no difference. Will make anyway later a native to convert CSteamID to game ID and maybe passing current player's index in this forward too.
