Re: [hlcoders] MOTD, STEAMID
Uh, it's not illegal for one, but he wasn't talking about the application but how it is done, which is typically done by hooking various engine functions and altering what is sent to the client and such. It's just beyond the typical scope of a Source server plugin, and since people don't see the code handed to them on a silver platter, and they don't see an easy way to do it without getting dirty, they call it illegal. - Original Message - From: "Michael Hobson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2005 8:47 AM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] MOTD, STEAMID > Soham: > > At 07:55 AM 3/31/2005, Soham Roy wrote: > >there is but is not legal > > > > > >On Thu, 31 Mar 2005 01:24:01 -0500, Shane Robinett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Any chance that there is a built in function that doesn't require > > > modding where in the MOTD we can pass STEAMID as a variable?

Re: [hlcoders] MOTD, STEAMID
I Sweden we have a law called PUL, which forbids tracking users without informing them.

Re: [hlcoders] MOTD, STEAMID
Every server tracks users. It's what the whole SteamID thing is about. With regards to tracking them, I'm pretty sure the EULA informs them of that (although I haven't read it yet).

Re: [hlcoders] MOTD, STEAMID
It isn't tracking the user, it is identifying them. It doesn't affect anything on their computer, either, nor is anything immoral possible from identifying a player by their Steam ID. - Original Message - From: " Childe Roland" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2005 4:06 PM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] MOTD, STEAMID > Every server tracks users.
