I've been using 34 for ages to hold steam id's. Is the max steam id length documented anywhere? Based on the below valve documentation, the number after the 2nd colon is the persons steam account number. If steam uses an unsigned 64-bit long to store the account number then even a string sized at 34 is overkill.

28 characters total with the largest unsigned 64 bit long:
STEAM:0:18446744073709551615

I'm just saying that the code can use some improvements, that's all.

I've been using 34 as well, but recently it has been defined in AMXX 1.9 as 64:

#define MAX_AUTHID_LENGTH 64 

You can find more information in this PR - https://github.com/alliedmodders/amxmodx/pull/566
From what I understood, it uses 64 in the engine itself.

So is AMX-X trying to account for when 128-bit unsigned longs become a thing, or did someone find this documented somewhere?

It's not a huge deal since we are only talking about 34-cells (possibly x 32) of memory wasted, but it doesn't make much sense to use a string variable that large. Only in Valve's wildest dreams would they be able to fill account numbers into the outer left bits of an unsigned 32-bit long, let alone in unsigned 64-bit long territory.
