[QUOTE=Nevec;17364679]SteamID sometimes returns 'STEAM_ID_PENDING' when ran from PlayerInitialSpawn. It is easily solved by delaying the hook, but it's still annoying. Is this the case with UniqueID as well?[/QUOTE]As far as I know, yes. UserID is available though, I think.
-Snip-
function GM:PlayerAuthed( ply, SteamID, UniqueID ) Use that to generate it.
This may be a bump, But this a good solution,
[code]
string.Replace(ply:SteamID(),":",";")
[/code]
so it comes out like this
Steam_0;0;111111111
instead of
Steam_0:0:111111111
and therefore is savable
[QUOTE=Skapocalypse;17519454][lua]local SteamID = "STEAM_0:1:21096928"
local Output = string.gsub(string.gsub(SteamID,"STEAM_",""),":","")
print(Output)[/lua]
Prints: 0121096928

do string.Replace
[QUOTE=Noobulater;17519817]do string.Replace[/QUOTE]
I think his point is that 0121096928 is much shorter and easier to use. ;)
[QUOTE=Noobulater;17519817]do string.Replace[/QUOTE]
do string.gsub
I feel useful. <3
[lua]local steamid = "STEAM_0:1:21096928";
local numbers = steamid:gsub( "STEAM_(%d+):(%d+):(%d+)", "%1%2%3" );[/lua]
Don't use string.Replace, gsub is what you should be using.
[QUOTE=Lexic;17342866]It's not. I know this because my roleplay server stores everything in a database with the user's uniqueID as the primary key. As the database has survived multiple server reinstalls and even a hardware switch, UniqueID is clearly not based on what server you're on.
[editline]10:40PM[/editline]
Been through 3 IP changes too, if you were thinking of mentioning the server's IP.[/QUOTE]
You shouldn't really rely on the Unique ID being constant over long periods of time. As soon as they change Steam ID's it makes it useless (like when they changed it earlier to 1's instead of 0's.)

As soon as they change Steam ID's it makes it useless (like when they changed it earlier to 1's instead of 0's.)[/QUOTE] Yeah, but if they did that, it'd make everything else useless too, so what's your point?
You shouldn't rely on the ground being there over long periods of time, because of coastal erosion.
When they changed the Steam ID it was only one digit and was easy to convert between the 2.
The Unique ID could change multiple digits making it harder to convert between.
And that is my point. It was a suggestion. No need to get sassy about it.

Thank you for your concern. However, as I don't think Valve will do that again after all the outcry from last time, I'll stick with UniqueID for now.
[editline]12:19PM[/editline]
Ok people.
This is over 10,000 Unique IDs with their corresponding SteamIDs. Let's see if we can find something in common, eh?

Not seeing much of a pattern there, but... why don't we just look at the source of player:UniqueID()?

Why? It's a shit copy of string.gsub.
[QUOTE=Retirsch;17540292]Not seeing much of a pattern there, but... why don't we just look at the source of player:UniqueID()?[/QUOTE]
Because Garry's Mod isn't open source.
Maybe there's just no pattern and it's randomly assigned to us by Steam, just like the SteamID.

[quote] Steam ID as a Steam Community ID
A Steam ID can be converted to Steam Community ID for use on the Steam Community website by applying the following formula to the SteamID:
* Let X,Y, and Z be defined by the Steam ID: STEAM_X:Y:Z
* Let W be defined by the Steam Community ID: steamcommunity.com/profiles/W
<math>W = (Z \times 2) + 76561197960265728 + Y\,</math>
By performing the reverse operation, a Community ID can also be converted to a Steam ID. [/quote]

We're aware of this, we're looking for a connection between the SteamID and the UniqueID, not the Community ID. :)

Yeah, my bad for not checking... Right after I posted, I realized that the equation didn't work with the examples above.
I'm now thinking about a connection between Profile's ID and Unique ID...
05:24.46 ( Lexi ) Oh garry, if you're still about, could you possibly post the algorthim player:UniqueID() uses to generate the player's UniqueID please? It'd help me out a bit with something I'm trying to do.
05:25.02 ( @garry ) no
05:25.07 ( Lexi ) Oh. Why not?
05:25.11 ( @garry ) it's a secret
05:25.17 ( Lexi ) ):
05:25.34 ( @garry ) TOP secret
If I were garry I would have implemented it as
[lua]
util.CRC("gm_" .. ply:SteamID() .. "_gm")
[/lua]

Thanks!

I guess this means we can't convert it back. ):

...Also couldn't you potentially end up with two players with the same uniqueID from collisions?
A more appropriate storage method would be to store the steamid64, the profile id, you can potentially store it as "iAuthID * 2 + iServer" since all the steam ids exist in the same universe and have the same account type. You would just add 0x110000100000000 (the account type and universe) to get the full 64bit id.
I know this is gravedigging but here you go.
