Re: [hlds] New SteamID format for TF2
Eric - Is there any clarity Valve can share on which games this change will occur with next? CS:S? HL2MP? HL1DM(Source)MP? Also, is this planned eventually for GoldSrc-based titles as well? (HL1, CS, DMC, TFC, DoD, etc.)? or will it only effect Source-based titles? I ask because, although work-around's are now in-place/available for various server-side mods (such as SourceMod and SourceBans) for Source-engine games - I do not think anything has been done yet with preparing server-side mods (such as AMX-Mod-X and possibly AMX-Bans) for GoldSrc-based games.

Re: [hlds] New SteamID format for TF2
Fair enough, mistakes happen. I would, however, implore the TF2 dev team to actively engage the Sourcemod dev team and give them advanced notice of any future major changes (like you guys always used to do, which was a great environment to participate in) such as porting TF2 to Source 2, etc. The way you helped us transition to Steampipe should be the model here - we all worked together, and that rollout went about as smooth as could be ;-) On Thu, Aug 21, 2014 at 7:41 PM, Eric Smith er...@valvesoftware.com wrote: We apologize for the lack of warning regarding the SteamID format change in today's update.

Re: [hlds] New SteamID format for TF2
Yeah, mistakes can happen easily, well thanks for the update on that (Steam ID). That's one of the bugs acknowledged in this update, just needs the other bug acknowledging/fixing (which happened when the HTML MOTD started sharing the Steam browser control) then all is well again hopefully.

Re: [hlds] New SteamID format for TF2
Many of us who use sourcebans can use this as a temporary fix:
1. disable your sourcebans plugin by renaming it to sourcebans.smx-disabled
2. verify that tf/addons/sourcemod/configs/admins.cfg contains all your current
admins and reserved-slot holders etc.
3. place the script (below) into the /tf/addons/sourcemod/configs/ directory,
name it fix.php, change to that directory on your command line, and execute
the script with php fix.php admins-new.cfg
4. check that it worked... look at the admins-new.cfg and compare it to
admins.cfg to see if the conversion worked.
5. delete your admins.cfg and rename admins-new.cfg to admins.cfg and restart
your server.
That will, at least, give your admins back their powers.
Here's the script:
--
?
$f = file_get_contents(admins.cfg);
$f = explode('',$f);
foreach($f as $line) {
if(substr($line,0,6)==STEAM_) {
$a=explode(':',substr($line,8));
echo '[U:1:'.($a[1]*2+$a[0]).']';
}
else echo $line.'';
}
?
--
Of course, this assumes you have php and can run it from the command line. It's
what I came up with, though, and I thought I'd share it since it worked for us.
cheers,
- Peter

Re: [hlds] New SteamID format for TF2
If the old steamID is still recognized why would sourcebans no longer work?
This REALLY freakin sucks with ZERO time to get ready for such a MAJOR
change...

Re: [hlds] New SteamID format for TF2
To clarify, in SourceMod, our plan for the stable branch is to make the
admin system and GetClientAuthString function behave as if the change
never took place.
The development branch will still as-is at the moment. Longer term, we
plan to rework things to not be able to be hampered by format changes
like this.
