Well, it's somewhat roundabout... but it looks like it would work. Is there a reason I'd have to work with the client IP? I really only care about matching up a user's steam ID with their record in hlstatsx.
For that, I don't really need an IP, unless it's something I'm forced to work with for some reason :) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roman Hatsiev Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2008 2:35 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] TF2: Web Control used during MOTD Yes, you need SourceMod plugin for this, rather simple one though. Here is an idea: 1. Upon client connect plugin insert a record into database which contains IP address of client, his STEAMID and time of connection. 2. You MOTD page script looks at client IP address and checks it against database to find that IP address among connections made within last minute and bingo - you've got your client's STEAMID! There may be a problem in some cases like multiple clients connecting to your server from behind the NAT which uses the same IP address for all clients or another client who surfs the Web via proxy server whose address is different from the one client uses to connect to your server but in most cases this will be quite reliable solution. Also you may need to cleanup outdated records from your database somehow, MOTD page script can do this prior to every query. SM plugin is really simple, I can write it for you in few minutes :) And if you are not happy with full scale SM installation you can run it without any plugins except this one so it will not interfere your existing configuration.
