I understand what you're saying - what you're not providing is a mechanism...
Said steam ID exists somewhere as a variable - but how do you read that variable? Via what mechanism? Honestly, if the answer is creating a new plugin for Sourcemod, we can stop right here :) I don't feel up to coding anything in sourcemod. However, if there's a way to access those variables from the web control, I could easily write something in vbscript that could parse the data from the hlstatsx pages. So, is there a way? It could be a simple "No", and I would be ok with that. My knee-jerk reaction is that it isn't possible because those variables aren't made available to the embedded browser used for the MOTD - but maybe someone knows something I don't. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of bl4nk Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2008 2:05 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] TF2: Web Control used during MOTD On client auth, have their steamid and ip shoved into a sql table. Then have the motd redirect to another page with user browsing's ip in the url (blah.com/motd?ip=255.255.255.255). Then it's just a simple case of grabbing the row from the sql table using their IP to get their steamid and then their stats/whatever you want.
