Background:
Due to recent updates in the auth thingy I had some troubles working with admin_simple.ini and admin.cfg, so I decided to code a plugin (for the fisrt time) which shows my steamid (from the server's point of view) and see what why the new format didn't work (btw it seems that they changed back to the old format ¬¬ and forgot to update/add the old steamid on console).

Totally doesn't look like:

TF2 now uses the new steam3 id (U:1:111111), sourcemod devs changed GetClientAuthString to return the old one (STEAM_0:1:1111111) in 1.6.2 as a quick patch. That's why your steamid is different, using an earlier version or 1.7 GetClientAuthString would return U:1:111111.

Its worth noting that a few other plugins like smac will return a list of steam2 ids (legacy STEAM with the smac_status command

[arYx]

whats the command for steam3?

if it is for steam2 GetClientAuthString(clieant, steamid, 21);

any idea?

[friagram]

Steam3 is "status" in client or server console......

but what If I would want to read it out with a script? for example GetClientAuthString(clieant, steamid, 32); isn't working.

Well, if you're using SM 1.7, GetClientAuthId is a new native that can return either the Steam2, the Steam3, or even the community ID ("76561197968573709" for example).

If you're still using SM 1.6, as you should be, I think you might have to stick to GetClientAuthString and then manually run some math on the old-style ID it gives you. Convert it yourself to the new format.




Also, you shouldn't use "32" as the third argument for GetClientAuthString. Just do sizeof(steamid).

GetClientAuthString(client, steamid, sizeof(steamid));
