Unless I'm mistaken (at least in the case of getting Sourcebans to work again) all that needs to be done at the moment is for the admin-flatfile.smx plugin (which, I believe is what reads the admins.cfg file) to be augmented so that it can interpret both the old and the new Steam ID format (?)

Of course, that's a short-term solution, but at least it would get admin/donator functions working again.

Or a patch to sourcemod's core to allow for conversion so no plugin edits will be needed.

But on a side note, Valve meant to give a heads up for the steamid change

We apologize for the lack of warning regarding the SteamID format change in today's update. It was our intent to give the community a heads-up before the change was released, but it was missed.

The change was made to update TF2 to use the current SteamID format, which most other games on Steam and Steam itself uses. You will find that you can now use SteamIDs rendered by these other locations in your interactions with the engine. The engine will still recognize the old format, though, so your current server ban lists should still be valid.

The conversion equation has already been posted by a community member, but here it is again:

Old: STEAM_0:A:B
New: [U:1:B*2+A]
Example: STEAM_0:1:1234 ---> [U:1:2469]

We're sorry for the problems this may cause while you update your scripts to use the new format. It was not our intent to disrupt your servers.

Thank you so much! Was about to do this myself, until I realized that only the method for converting old format -> new format has discussed so far, and that I can't math.

When my actual steam id is

[U:1:83288335]

Shouldn't that be something like...

PHP Code:


			
return '[U:1:' . $id3 . ']';

Or will it not always be U:1

Anybody got a web-site up yet to convert ID's? hopefully in batch (paste a bunch into a text box, hit submit and get the new ones)?
