How convert UID to plain text?

[LastS 7]

Hello, i would like how can i get the user name linked to an UID in the database players.db

What kind of encryption are using? Is like Base64 but idk

Thanks!

I don't think you can do it. You can turn it to plain text using 'format'.. and you can use the GUID to get the Steam UID .. this stuff is documented on the web and some of it on the BI technical forums, with examples and scripts .. but you cant "calculate" back from a UID to get a player name string.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

You can - maybe -  "hold" the player name when it is entered, while the corresponding UID is calculated - and then link the name with the UID in a table of your own, so you can look it up. But I don't notice anyone doing that ATM.

The players.db is a SQLite database file. Not sure how you can get the name with the UID. All I know is that there is no name stored in players.db, only the UID.

I know that you can calculate the GUID, but the UID that it saves on the DB is not a GUID i think..Format is like Base64 encoded text

But yes, i have to get the UID and name and save it with a script

Yep, so, how can i know, for example, what is my user at the DB and delete it?

It's either one of these three: GetId(), GetPlainId() and GetPlayerId(). So that would be:
- player.GetIdentity().GetId();
- player.GetIdentity().GetPlainId();
- player.GetIdentity().GetPlayerId();

GetId() is an unique player ID like hashed steamID
GetPlainId() is plaintext unique ID which can not be used in logs or database
GetPlayerId() is player id of a session and gets reused after player disconnects

I would say GetId() is the most likely one you would need.

Thanks! I will check later this ;)

PD: Is there a wiki/docs where find all these references?

Not at the moment. You need to dig through the code yourself to figure this stuff out. :)
