steam://connect/<IP or DNS name>[:<port>][/<password>]/

Code:

steam://connect/<IP or DNS name>[:<port>][/<password>]/

I've not really seen many people use this, and I have to wonder, why! It's so useful in getting people to directly connect to your server. Is it just that its not that well known, or is it that there are not many people on here who run servers?

Add me as your Steam Friend

Code:

steam://friends/add/<id>/

Turns out, you can also do this!

You can find your ID by going to the Community Tab within the main Steam Screen and then copying the interger find in the URL.

Code:

http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/<youridhere>/home

That would be your ID, the number STEAM assigns to your account. You can find your id in the method posted above.

I know, I wanted to correct you from IP to ID. You wrote IP.

Lol, it's funny that you should say that, my client JUST updated. I mean, like within the last 4 minutes. I was reading the steam dev wiki and came across all of these things like DarkGod posted.
