Steam Module Installation

The Steam module allows you to forward calls to your admins via steam messages.

Preparation

Before you can install the Steam module you have to prepare some things.

1. Create a new Steam account (we call this the bot account for reference)
2. Log into your bot account and disable Steam guard (Settings -> Account -> Manage Steam guard account security -> Disable Steam guard)
3. Log out of the bot account
4. Log into your main account and add your bot account as a friend
5. Tell your admins to add the bot account as a friend too
6. Create a steam group which can only be joined by explicite invite (optional)
7. Invite all your admins into this group (optional)

3. Restart your server, change the map or manually load the plugin to create the configs
4. Edit the config(s) to your purposes

Requirements

• The base CallAdmin plugin
• The Socket extension
• The MessageBot extension
• Versions >= 0.1.6 The System2 extension replaces the socket extension

Notes

• If your admins are in the group, you don't have to add their steamids to the steamid list file, it would be redundant.
• Currently there is a hardcoded limit of 150 people for each list.
• Limited accounts have certain restrictions, and are not officially supported, upgrading it to a normal accounts is advised.
• You need to add the bot as friend because it can only accept friend requests, not send them.
