Hmm, is there a way to get your community URL with numbers if you've set a custom URL though, because if not this would be useless for such people

You can get a community ID from a custom URL. http://steamcommunity.com/id/1133377 http://steamcommunity.com/id/1133377?xml=1]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=feedback&topic=8816&post=151672 Sat, 20 Feb 2010 15:15:09 +0100 Reply by Cloud https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/feedback/topic-8816/page-1/?recent=151672#post=151669 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=feedback&topic=8816&post=151669 Sat, 20 Feb 2010 15:09:53 +0100 Reply by Wobblit https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/feedback/topic-8816/page-1/?recent=151672#post=149050 Quoted from octochris

Wow, I didn't know about that. In which case this should be easy to implement.

Yeah, that is why I suggested it. They must already be doing the conversion from SteamID to CommunityID, so can't be too complicated to make a change so the system can also convert the other way.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=feedback&topic=8816&post=149050 Thu, 11 Feb 2010 12:06:16 +0100 Reply by Dr. Chris https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/feedback/topic-8816/page-1/?recent=151672#post=148998 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=feedback&topic=8816&post=148998 Thu, 11 Feb 2010 03:22:54 +0100 Reply by DeNeusbeer https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/feedback/topic-8816/page-1/?recent=151672#post=148972 Quoted from octochris

[...] AFAIK one can't be tied to the other without there being some sort of database to look at, because there is no real way to determine it without using status, or looking at some plugin that lists it (like HLSX).

There is a direct relation between Steam ID and community profile ID. We use that to link to your community profile. The formula consists of a simple addition and multiplication, and can be easily reversed. Let's say your steam ID is 0:1:123456, the three parts are a, b and c. You'll get:


a = 0
b = 1
c = 123456
community ID = c * 2 + 76561197960265728 + b

The other way around:


temp = (community ID - 76561197960265728)
if temp is even:
SteamID = 0:0:(temp / 2)
if uneven:
SteamID = 0:1:((temp - 1) / 2)

Oh and if i recall correctly, the difference between L4D and TF2 steamID is just the first number being 1 in L4D and 0 in TF2.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=feedback&topic=8816&post=148972 Thu, 11 Feb 2010 00:34:21 +0100 Reply by Dr. Chris https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/feedback/topic-8816/page-1/?recent=151672#post=148961 Quoted from Giganticus

quick thing to point out is that certain games (for example Left 4 Dead 2) will give a different and invalid STEAMID. This means going into TF2 specifically and grabbing the STEAMID from there. Took me a while to figure that out while trying to register new players for k^m2. If the site could somehow tie profiles to STEAMIDs we wouldn't have trouble entering in new players.

What? Quoted from Wobblit

Now you have to enter your SteamID to make an active account, something I've seen many struggle with.

Quoted from Skyride

Also, if someone is too dumb to get their SteamID, then i'm sorry, but they have no place in competitive gaming.

The whole point of recording the SteamID is so that people can check if someone is actually on a teams roster. The avatar thing is just a nice little touch.

This is in no way related to what I suggested. The steamID would still be displayed for others to see, you just wont have to put it there manually. It will be automatically resolved from your community page. Ninjaedit to reply to your ninja edit: Simplicity is always better. Doesn't matter if it is easy to get your SteamID, it is even easier to get your community page.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=feedback&topic=8816&post=147321 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 02:30:32 +0100 Reply by adam-skyride https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/feedback/topic-8816/page-1/?recent=151672#post=147320 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=feedback&topic=8816&post=147320 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 02:29:09 +0100
