Sorry to resurrect such an old thread but how would I use this to block and entire steam user group? I want to block a group of 200+ members from my hosts and can not seem to figure out how to make it pull down all the groups details and then give me a steam ID for each of them

Any tips would be greatly apperciated. Free cake and juice to all that help.

Before I say anything on doing so, what group do you wish to ban? Thats a lot of people.

Think about, group is nothing, everyone can leave it and still play on your server. Better get their Steam ID and ban every single member you not like...

Please re-read my post. I do not want to block the group. I want to block the group members by fetching the members of the group and then get their steam id's to block at the server level.

I can already get the steam community ID's easily enough off their group page by viewing the page source and pushing it through sed and awk to clean up. Just need some help converting those into steam id's so I can then block them.

As for which group this is I would rather not say.

I had the same issue a while back, and wrote something similar up in Ruby (if anyone is running a Rails based website, this might be useful).

It's a command line script at the moment, so some of the extra fluff at the end could be taken out if you're just after the functionality.

(It says 'php', but there were no 'ruby' tags )

PHP Code:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
def steam_2_friend(steam_unique_id)
  check_format steam_unique_id
  tokens = steam_unique_id.split ':'
  type = tokens[1].to_i
  id = tokens[2].to_i
  base = 76561197960265728
  (id*2) + type + base
end

def check_format(steam_unique_id)
  raise "Expected format is STEAM_0:1:123456789 provided id #{steam_unique_id} is not correct" unless steam_unique_id =~ /STEAM_\d+:\d+:\d+/
end

steam_unique_id = ARGV[0]
profile_id = steam_2_friend steam_unique_id

puts "Steam unique ID:#{steam_unique_id}"
puts "profile ID:#{profile_id}"
puts "profile page link:http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/#{profile_id}"

doesn't hlstatsx do this already?

[DJ Tsunami]

Yes, it does. Why do you ask? There are plenty of other places where it would be useful to convert a Steam ID to a Profile ID.

I wrote a PHP script similar to 8088's one, but it has some differences:

• Fully object-oriented for PHP5
• It outputs the player's status to a PNG-image
• Internal caching for the generated images (5 minutes on default)

Because of the image generation, however, it's not possible to show up a menu with steam://-links like in 8088' script. But you could use the SteamProfile class to write a HTML-Based script for your own.

Some examples:

Ingame:


Offline:
