Greetings, feudalists!

If you tired of players who tries to avoid your ban via Steam Family Library Sharing feature, this mod is for you!

BasilMod::SteamFamilyAccess is an access control mod to deal with Steam Family Library Sharing feature.

You can completely disable Shared Library access to your server.
Or you can enable Shared Library access to you server. In this case mod will check if source account(who provided the shared access to the game) is banned(not active) on your server, and apply those restrictions to shared account as well.

This is server-side only mod.
This mod does not require BasilMod::Pack.
This mod is part of BasilMods bundle

Mod fire! Thank you Vasiliy! You're the best!

p.s. I write until I sleep. Basil will understand.

Very useful mod, thanks!
Does it matter which Steam WEBApi key to use?

Spoiler

Я имею в виду - должен ли использоваться ключ того же аккаунта, под которым загружался LiF dedicated server, и можно ли использовать ключ уже использованный для других целей, например для авторизации посетителей на сайте?

You can use any Steam WEBApi key.
Make sure you are not close to day limit on your existing key:

You are limited to one hundred thousand (100,000) calls to the Steam Web API per day. Valve may approve higher daily call limits if you adhere to these API Terms of Use.

Spoiler

Любой ключ подойдет. Контролируйте, чтобы существующий ключ не был близок к дневному лимиту по вызовам. Если ключ приблизится к лимиту, и вызовы провалятся, будет считаться что информацию получить не удалось, и игрока не пустит на сервер.

[Frankenshtine]

If a day limit will be hit, does it mean nobody can join server?
How often API calls occurs? If only once per player join server - I don't think key be used more than 1000 per day, so not a problem

Yes.

Call is made for every new player since server restart, i.e. server remembers player account details till next restart.
If you have 120 active players, and 64 slots, only 120 api calls would be made.
