I was going to say the same thing, but then didn't because the implementation of the Render function for CSteamID is not included in the SDK so he'd end up adding the same code anyways.
I will recommend "& 0x01" instead of "% 2" and ">> 1" instead of "/ 2" though the compiler probably does that for you anyways. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Saul Rennison Sent: Monday, January 04, 2010 2:08 PM To: Discussion of Half-Life Programming Subject: Re: [hlcoders] How to find SteamID Garry there's no need to do it manually, I think there's a CSteamID class which does it all for you I think... although that might be server-side :/ Thanks, - Saul. 2010/1/4 Garry Newman <[email protected]> > This probably isn't useful to anyone, but I had to get the SteamID of other > players clientside - and couldn't find a way to do it (without networking > them from server) > > But eventually I found a way to convert the FriendsID to a SteamID.. > > const char* C_GMOD_Player::GetNetworkIDString() > { > if ( !engine->GetPlayerInfo( entindex(), &m_SavedPlayerInfo ) ) > { > return "NULL"; > } > > if ( !m_SavedPlayerInfo.friendsID ) > return "NULL"; > > Q_snprintf( m_SavedPlayerInfo.guid, sizeof( m_SavedPlayerInfo.guid ) - 1, > "STEAM_0:%u:%u", > (unsigned int)(m_SavedPlayerInfo.friendsID % 2), > (unsigned int)(m_SavedPlayerInfo.friendsID / 2)); > > return m_SavedPlayerInfo.guid; > } > > garry > > On Mon, Jan 4, 2010 at 9:31 PM, Tony Paloma <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > 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.
