    FYI-- A recent TF2 update changed the format of SteamIDs sent to our server by the SR plugin.

    Per Eric Smith, the format is changing in this way:
    Old: STEAM_0:A:B
    New: [U:1:B*2+A]
    Example: STEAM_0:1:1234 ---> [U:1:2469]​

    You shouldn't need to update the SteamRep plugin. I've changed the backend API to support the new IDs.

    Let me know if you have problems, though, and we'll figure out what's going wrong.

    (The new format is the Steam3 32-bit format. We'll be updating SteamRep to display these IDs as well.)

    32 bit is SO outdated, it only supports 4294967296 people, while we have way more ppl on this planet, and with all the alts, ....

    Make sure you also accept the Steam2 addresses too. Sourcemod 1.6 snapshots have been patched to convert U:1 to STEAM_0, to provide support for all plugins that break from this change.
    That means that calls to GetClientAuthString() on 1.6 snapshots will now return the old Steamid2 again.

    The SR plugin works fine-- did you have a problem with it? Dr. McKay's plugin is not the official plugin.

    Ah, banning API works, but Tony found that when you check someone's SteamRep page using the official plugin, the main SteamRep page didn't know the Steam3 ID's. We'll be updating it to support those as well, but might not be until later this weekend.

    SteamRep main page now supports Steam3 full format and so the sm_sr checks should work just fine.

    Oh yeah, of course-- I didn't break STEAM_0 queries, those should still work fine. I coded this assuming Valve would back out the change. I was surprised they didn't.
