Resolved How to map SteamIDs to the Connection ID's properly?

Using one of the community Transports like Facepunch or Steamnetworkingsockets from https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/multiplayer-community-contributions/tree/main/Transports

What would be a good way to map NetworkManager connectionId's & steamID's? The Transports have their own internal mapping for that, but I cannot find a good way to map peoples Connection ID to their Steam ID, so i could use them later on in for example the NetworkManagers ClientDisconnected event, which only has the connection ID as parameter?

I cannot find a proper way which does not make it easy to spoof someones SteamID.

Why does the networkManager not allow the custom transports to assign a Plattform ID as well, or why they do not just use steams IDs as connection IDs?

I don't really get that part, which already brought me to a point where i consider to give up before i really started to work on the actual game itself

Only good resources i can find about Unity Multiplayers with NGO are for Unity Game Services i won't use at all.

Any help would be appreciated!

Greetings

 

A server-side Dictionary<int, int> ...
Or long or GUID or whatever these ids are.

You just need a mapping between the two on the server, and that mapping only persists throughout the current session. The mapping is created whenever a client joins, you send the steam id with the payload. You can then perform steam id validation checks if needed and approve or deny the connection request at this point.

 

Hey, i just found out why i was not able to retrieve the steamID in first place. It's the fact that the facepunch.steamworks version coming with the facepunchtransport is the release version from 2020 which is broken and just return 0 as steamID's, i just compiled the current master branch and it's now working and i can build on that ^^ Greetings

 

Hey, sorry for necro but can you please share the build you have done? I am facing the same issue but building the master just created more issue for me...
