I am building a php parser that puts session log files from a dedicated server in a database and can make all kinds of statistics with it.
If I create a user database and people can register with it, I would like to use their Steam ID or Steam Username to track their driving on the server. The driver name is not good enough since it can be changed by the driver - and Steam ID/Username cannot. So to prevent abuse of the server or the stats system, I would like to use Steam ID/Username.
However, I have noticed that the session log files from a dedicated server does NOT contain players' steam ID or steam username. On the other hand, this is registered in the LIVE session files, but LIVE session files does not gather all data from a session. Only session files include all laps and all drivers etc.
Anyone know if it is possible to get the steam_id through the session log files or whether it is a programming error or anything?
I have tried to contact SimBin, but they have not responded (2 months ago). It would easy for them to include it in a patch, but I guess I have no power to convince them
Comments are MORE than welcome!
