Well as long as we're coming up with alternatives: - Read HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Steam\LastGameNameUsed - Enumerate HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Steam\Users for a matching friends\PersonaName value - The keys under Users are account IDs. You can use them to get a SteamID.
Infallible? Hardly. But it's the best out-of-game, no-steam-dlls solution I could come up with besides mucking around in the blob file. If you know where Steam is installed (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Steam\SteamPath), you can load steamclient.dll and get the SteamID easy. If you want more details, reply and ask. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Darien Hager Sent: Monday, January 04, 2010 1:06 PM To: Discussion of Half-Life Programming Subject: Re: [hlcoders] How to find SteamID Just to toss out an alternative... I think the "current user name" is probably somewhere in the clientregistry.blob file after the user is logged-in... but parsing that thing directly isn't very fun and likely won't be as stable making your own exe/dll. (I'm working on phasing out some clientregistry-using code for those reasons.) --Darien Alexander Hirsch wrote: > It does work.
