Re: [hlds] [hlds_announce] New SteamID format for TF2

I highly doubt it was an intended change, as much as the Mac OS X and Linux
HTML MOTD's being unstable as well (which I see Valve have just chosen to
disable in a patch the Steam client downloaded just a moment ago).

I'd assume it is to a line with the new Steam gameserver accounts since they
use A: for anonymous, G: for registered and the U: for steam clients. Make
sense really just poorly implemented.

1. Since the new format is already used for most other Steam games, its
probable that they now converted TF to simplify maintenance on their side.

2. Sooner or later: Yes.

We apologize for the lack of warning regarding the SteamID format change in 
today's update. It was our intent to give the community a heads-up before the 
change was released, but it was missed. 

The change was made to update TF2 to use the current SteamID format, which most 
other games on Steam and Steam itself uses. You will find that you can now use 
SteamIDs rendered by these other locations in your interactions with the 
engine. The engine will still recognize the old format, though, so your current 
server ban lists should still be valid.

The conversion equation has already been posted by a community member, but here 
it is again:

    Old:        STEAM_0:A:B
    New:        [U:1:B*2+A]
    Example:    STEAM_0:1:1234    --->    [U:1:2469]

We're sorry for the problems this may cause while you update your scripts to 
use the new format. It was not our intent to disrupt your servers.

-Eric
