Steam Integration

[Marked 197]

Hi all,

 

We have two new Steam integration features, inlcuding:

-Steam Login; and

-Steam profile data (your profile + recent games).

 

To show your steam details in your profile, you can have either signed up via Steam, or link up account here:

 

http://www.gdunlimited.net/forums/index.php?app=core&module=usercp&tab=core&area=managesteam

 

 

Here's my profile for an example: http://www.gdunlimited.net/forums/user/1-marked/

 

 

It would be a massive help if some of you could try signing up with steam and see if this integration is working. To do, simply sign out and go to the registration page: http://www.gdunlimited.net/forums/index.php?app=core&module=global&section=register Once there you will see a button saying sign in with steam.

Testing.

Tried it out. Either it's broken or I gave the wrong id. I'm pretty sure it's "bob423" but it's showing me offline, which is like...never true.

 

To be more specific:

when typing in an id than no one has, (like my log in name for steam) The thing doesn't show up at all. When I type in "bob423" or "Bob423", it shows pretty much exactly what's in your screenshot.

I'm a little confused as to why there would be a Steam ID account field and as well as a way to tie in the steam account to the GDU account if you can't pull info from the latter. Is it possible to pull off or...?

 

Edit: Same issue as Bob.

Good question. The reason is that I don't want to limit current users. I can integrate it so that it works with users who sign up with steam, but existing users won't be able to utilize the feature. (unless they can associate their current account with their steam account, which I'm not sure you can do...I should look that up).

 

You guys may be using the wrong ID. I'm not too sure. There's this site to find out: http://steamidfinder.com/ I don't think its your username. I beleive it may be the unique ID you choose when setting up your profile, and is in some URLs. Eg. view profile

http://steamcommunity.com/id/gamedevunlimited/

Integrating my account was the first thing I did.

I also tried doing that in a number of ways and none of them worked. The Steam details didn't appear in my profile no matter what I did there.

O.o Dude, how????

 

I've got the profile working, eg yours. But it says you haven't done anything on Steam the last few weeks?

 

This means the profile field is now redundant as you can link up the accounts. But you gotta tell me how you did that first :P

[Bob423 52]

Still doesn't work for mine, but now it just doesn't show up. Or did you expect that?

[Marked 197]

Yes, I expected that. Yours relies on the profile field which is no longer in use because Punk mysteriously found a way to integrate the accounts. Once we figure out how he did that, we'll just use that instead of using the field for everyone, and people who sign up via steam will have that automatically.

 

Actually I'm not even sure the steam sign up is working, I get an error.

Manage Steam in the UCP. :P

 

That's weird. I've been idling online and using either RPG Maker XP or RPG Maker VX Ace on there for awhile.

 

Edit: On second thought, this may have something to do with the permissions I set on Steam. I should check that.

Ah, sweet! :D Looks all working. I suspect that's coz its software. It shows my details as well as being online, so looks like it is working at the moment. Even if the sign up is broken, people can just sign up normally and link the account. I'll need to test that when I get a chance. Flat out right now :P Thanks Punk! :thumbsup:

[Punk 0]

No prob!

And yeah, my online/offline state had to do with my profile being set to Private. :grin:

[Polraudio 122]

Linked perfectly thank you :)

[Bob423 52]

Me too! WOOT!

[Polraudio 122]

Is it possible to make something we can put in our sig like what i have to see if were online or offline on steam? The one i have right now takes forever to update and sometimes i could be online for hours before it even says im online.

[Bob423 52]

Also I think Mark should make a GDU steam group :P

[Tigurus 8]

Linked and worked. I agree with Polraudio's statement btw!

[Polraudio 122]

Steam group has been created.

http://steamcommunity.com/groups/gamedevunlimited

 

Edit: Just got to figure out why it has my avatar as the background

EDIT2: oh i guess the background is made up of all the members avatars

[Bob423 52]

Then why am I not in the background? or does it take a minute to update?

[Polraudio 122]

Yea it takes a while. your on there now.

[Marked 197]

I don't I can beat the Steam one. I think the reason why Steam's lag is because its so popular, if it updated more often it would take up too much resources.

 

For our group.

 

[ShinkuAura 15]

Would've been cool if i had a steam account :/

[Bob423 52]

Then what's this? http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198041395040/

[ShinkuAura 15]

A decoy. This Omar is Mexican.

I'm Italian.

[Bob423 52]

[ShinkuAura 15]

What is this suppose to mean?

[Bob423 52]

Shows that your location is Mexico :P

[ShinkuAura 15]

That does not prove anything.

[Marked 197]

Guys, its not a chatroom.

[Wyzrd 12]

Awesome work as always Mark.
