In case you didn't know:
Basically Valve decided to break with the way SteamIDs are displayed. It's apparently called SteamID3.
They've already implemented this in TF2, silently without any official word what-so-ever. So other games might follow (I think it's likely).

Big discussion @ https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=246705

Example: from STEAM_0:1:48287056 to [U:1:96574113]

How to convert:

Old = STEAM_0:A:B
New = [U:1:B*2+A]
Example: STEAM_0:1:1234 -> [U:1:2469]

Ye I saw this a while back and realized that at some point databases in event-scripts would need to be updated or just reset. So I made a quick function in python that converts them for you, I have added it below if you want to use it.

Syntax: Select all

def convert(id):
	if isinstance(id, str):
		arg = id.split('_')
		args = id.split(':')
		if arg[0] == 'STEAM':
			if len(args) == 3:
				return '[U:1:'+str(int(args[2])*2+int(args[1]))+']'
