It can, but it means the same thing. Ex: STEAM_1 is used in L4D(2) and STEAM_0 in every other game afaik.
What do you mean if AccountID is an uneven number? Do you mean odd number or fractional number? AccountID should always be a whole number and taking mod 2 of that should only yield 0 or 1. 0 for even AccountID, 1 for odd AccountID. When dividing by 2 when calculating Y, yes you should truncate any decimal but "(AccountID mod 2) / 2" is not the correct calculation to do so. Try: Y = CLng(AccountID / 2) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael Bang Sent: Tuesday, January 05, 2010 9:21 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] How to find SteamID Ah okay - so a SteamID can't start with anything but a zero? Hmm.. If the AccountID is an uneven number, I guess y is as follows : y = (AccountID mod 2) / 2 ?? Since a SteamID can't have decimals in it :-) > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Date: Tue, 5 Jan 2010 09:08:06 -0800 > Subject: Re: [hlcoders] How to find SteamID > > STEAM_0:x:y > > Where X is "AccountID mod 2" > Where Y is "AccountID / 2" > > You're using VB6, right?
