I remember back in 1.6, source, l4d, l4d2, and tf2 you were able to get the IP of everyone in the server by using status in the console, as well as their IDs. only it doesnt show it now in GO. Anyone know of a way to see anothers IP or is it gone?

"Status" will still show player IPs and STEAM IDs... but IPs are only visible when executed from the server's console. In other words, you need to have control of the server to see IP addresses (using RCON, being the actual sever host, etc). STEAM ID's can still be viewed by anyone though.

This is how it has always been.

Players being able to view each others IP address would be a huge security risk/attack vector (potential for DDoSing, etc).

Hopefully this will be of some help to you.

in css i've seen some server mods display the players IP in chat when they joined, pretty dumb.

Besides the nefarious purposes of using it, I was hoping to use it for another end. It's helpful in matches when you need to know when they are, if its the same person.

I'd like to see if it's picking mine up, but oh wells.
