Hello i notice something strange about steamid between sourcemod and some website result.

For example a player's steamid bySteam ID Finderwill be show as

"STEAM_0:0:12345678"

But in sourcemod this will be

PHP Code:

decl String:steamid[30];
GetClientAuthString(client, steamid, sizeof(steamid)); 


"STEAM_1:0:12345678"

or

"STEAM_1:1:12345678"

Any help about this? why?

"STEAM_0" vs "STEAM_1" has to do with which steam universe the game youre pulling the ID from uses. e.g. CS:GO uses "STEAM_1", whereas the same player can connect to CS:S and their ID would be "STEAM_0". The third scenario of "STEAM_0:1" vs ""STEAM_0:0" I think might be in your head. From my recollection, that digit is constant for any ID. For more info, look up converting from steam community ID to the steam ID forms you mention.

Use GetClientAuthId instead of GetClientAuthString.

This way you can define what type of ID you want using:

PHP Code:

AuthId_Steam2, /**< Steam2 rendered format, ex "STEAM_1:1:4153990" */     
AuthId_Steam3, /**< Steam3 rendered format, ex "[U:1:8307981]" */     
AuthId_SteamID64, /**< A SteamID64 (uint64) as a String, ex "76561197968573709" */

That doesnt address the OPs questions...

Older Source games used to use STEAM_0 even though they should have used STEAM_1. The Valve games afflicted by this problem are, as of their last update, all on Steam ID 3 now (the [U:1:1234567890] format)

The :0: or :1: in SteamID2 depends entirely on the SteamID. If your community ID (aka SteamID64) is even, the number will be 0. If your community ID is odd, it will be 1.

In SteamID3, the middle number is actually the number after STEAM in Steam ID2.

Thanks everyone here, will going to check about it.

I was advising him to use GetClientAuthId, as GetClientAuthString is marked as deprecated.

Just use the right half of the steam ID and be done with it.

Coincidentally, GetSteamAccountID does precisely this.
