Steam Group Rewards

A simple Unturned plugin that gives players special ranks/permissions for joining your Steam group.

How It Works

• The plugin checks if players are members of your Steam group
• Members get special permissions on your server
• Players lose these permissions if they leave the group
• All Steam API calls run in separate threads to prevent server lag

Configuration Options

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<SteamGroupRewardsConfiguration xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <MessageColor>yellow</MessageColor>
  <SteamGroupName>RestoreMonarchy</SteamGroupName>
  <PermissionGroupID>vip</PermissionGroupID>
  <RefreshTimeSeconds>300</RefreshTimeSeconds>
  <EnableAnnouncement>true</EnableAnnouncement>
</SteamGroupRewardsConfiguration>

• MessageColor: Color of plugin messages in chat (yellow, green, red, etc.)
• SteamGroupName: Your Steam group name (from the URL)
• PermissionGroupID: Permission group to give players when they join your Steam group
• RefreshTimeSeconds: How often to check for group membership changes (in seconds)
• EnableAnnouncement: When true, announces to all players when someone gets rewards

Important Note

Due to Steam's caching system, membership changes may take about 10 minutes to be detected by the plugin, even if you set a shorter refresh time.

Tips

• Create a /steam command on your server that opens a link to your Steam group, making it easy for players to join.
  You can use RichMessageAnnouncer plugin to create this command.

Reward Idea: Special Kit Access

One popular reward idea is to give Steam group members access to an exclusive kit. To do this:

1. Create a permission group called "steam" (or any name you prefer)
2. Set up this group with the "kit.steam" permission
3. Change the PermissionGroupID in the plugin configuration from "vip" to your group name

Here's an example permission group configuration:

<Group>
  <Id>steam</Id>
  <DisplayName>Steam</DisplayName>
  <Prefix />
  <Suffix />
  <Color>66c0f4</Color>
  <Members>
    <Member>76561198016438091</Member>
  </Members>
  <ParentGroup>default</ParentGroup>
  <Priority>100</Priority>
  <Permissions>
    <Permission Cooldown="0">kit.steam</Permission>
  </Permissions>
</Group>

This gives your Steam group members access to a special kit while also displaying their name in Steam's blue color in chat.
