If you want to access Steam functions use the steam/isteam*.h headers and functionality. - Alfred > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hlcoders- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ashley Cowey > Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2008 9:18 PM > To: Discussion of Half-Life Programming > Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Limiting access by Steam ID > > Alfred, Is the update to make the Steam API more or less accessible? > Sorry > for off topic. > > On Wed, Jun 4, 2008 at 11:42 AM, Alfred Reynolds > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > You really don't want to do this in shipping code, we are about to > release > > an update that would break this as we have changed those private > API's we > > export from steamclient.dll. > > > > - Alfred > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hlcoders- > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ashley Cowey > > > Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2008 7:00 PM > > > To: Discussion of Half-Life Programming > > > Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Limiting access by Steam ID > > > > > > Yes this is possible.
