Hey
Of course much appreciate the work you invested in rewriting the plugin. But you removed just one of the most usefull features at all to check for limited Steam Accounts or Valid profiles. Since such accounts are widely used by Hackers.
Also maybe a hint in the version table that you have to delete the config would help.
Regards
Hello
I appreciate your feedback!
The check for Limitedprofiles is indirectly there and on by default. You just have to use MinSteamLevel 1, as Limited Accounts are always level 0, and others should be 1 when they buy a game.
However I agree that the documentation is unclear in this regard, and will update it (including the need to purge the config).
If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask. Also if there are still problems regarding that topic, send me an steam-profile of that account who souldn't be able to join, so I can run tests against it.
Greetings
Edit: It could be, that its possible to check limited-accounts on private profiles, too. However to verify and implement that, I need a steamid of an limited account with their profile set to private.
If you mean by valid profile, users who didnt set up their steamcommunity profile, then I would need a steamid for that, too. I found some profiles in this regard. But they also were all steam level 0.
Hey
Just a dump question maybe. Why you don't use the same mechanic as in the old version? That worked flawlessly.

Before I adapt features, I test them completly before. That's why I need steamids, otherwise I would have to give you untested- or erronous parts. The issue why extensive testing is needed, is that the answers of the SteamAPI are not documented, but rather found out by querying it.
However I found a steamid with a not-created profile and a level > 1. I will place an additional request in place and will push an update this evening, with configuration for limited (but not public) profiles and not set up community profiles.
Like sayd i can guarantee that the old system worked flawlessly. We receive about 10-15 requests daily for such private Profiles and my Staff decides then. In 80% of the cases the guys are just Cheaters which also gots confirmed by Gamebans that accounts received a while after.
I believe you in any case, that it works or worked.
But I don't do testing only because I'm not sure wether the API works, but also to ensure code quality. When you adapt a feature - even when you copied a working one - you can't be sure that you didn't make a misstake implementing or checking for all input-possibilities without testing.

This way you can be sure, that everything (and really everything) works as intended.
But like I said, this feature will be tested and pushed this evening.
Yea that would be great.
What you always can check (but not working with private profiles) is this: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?xml=1
Like just adding ?xml=1 behind the Profile URL. Because Level 0 Steam Profile not equal Limited Account. Limited Accounts are when you not spent like 5$ on that account. Which is the case on buyed Accounts like from steamby.ru for example.

It is. Steam locks limited accounts to Level 0.
See: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=4395-TUZC-9912&l=english "Limited users do not qualify for Steam levels and will remain at level 0."
Ok then I was wrong here. I tought you can have a Level 0 Account but its not limited since you charged money on it.
Fixed, both implemented.
Don't forget to adjust your config and language files
Great work mate. Will test later that day.
Can you please add family sharing kick also ?
That no longer seems to function ?

Yes I can add a feature, which kicks the user when he has borrowed the game. However, I would refrain from checking the lender - because of complexity reasons (didn't do the old plugin too).
Hello - will checking for family share be added to the rewrite?
Is it possible to allow family share but only kick the family share if after checking the parent, it fails the other checks? (happy to create second ticket for this as a request if preferred)
Thanks for your time on making the new version!
