TF2BDd

Very simple service to allow tools like those listed below to download and integrate player list contributions from outside sources. This is designed to work over discord as a bot, allowing multiple people to contribute their lists and have them merged into a single master list. The results served over an HTTP endpoint /v1/steamids. Data is backed by a very simple sqlite database.

• tf2_bot_detector
• bd
• MAC

If you have other examples of software that is able to update lists over http like these, please open a PR to add them to the list.

Example results from the @trusted list.

Commands

Bot command list:

• !add <steamid/profile> [attributes] Add the user to the master ban list. eg: suspicious/cheater/bot. If none are defined, it will use cheater by default.
• !addproof <steamid/profile> <proof> Adds a entry in the users proof field. Can be any string/url.
• !del <steamid/profile> Remove the player from the master list
• !check <steamid/profile> Checks if the user exists in the database
• !count Shows the current count of players tracked
• !import <attached_playerlist_files> Imports the steam ids from a players custom ban list, multiple can be attached
• !steamid <steamid/vanity_name/profile_link> Accepts any steamid format including bare vanity name and profile link. Will print out all forms.

Discord slash commands are not currently supported as this was written before that was an option, however if there is enough demand, or somebody creates a PR for it, I will add them.

Building From Source

$ git clone git@github.com:leighmacdonald/tf2bdd.git
$ cd tf2bdd
$ go build

Configuration

There is an example config located inside the releases tf2bdd_example.yml. Rename it to tf2bdd.yml and edit the values as documented inside of it.

Make sure you enable "Message Content Intent" on your discord config under the Bot settings via discord website. If your bot does not respond to your commands, this is probably why.

Running Binary

You can either use the binary you build from source, or download the latest release from the releases page.

$ cp tf2bdd_example.yml tf2bdd.yml     # Copy example config
$ vim tf2bdd.yml                       # Edit/Add your config options
$ ./tf2bdd

You will probably want to create something like a systemd service to automate this.

Running Docker

Running over docker is generally the recommended approach, along with a reverse proxy such as caddy that can provide automatic TLS certs for HTTPS support. If you are using an internal docker network (recommended), ensure you also add the --network your_network flag to the run command. Take note that the container binds only to localhost in the example command shown -p 127.0.0.1:8899:8899, so you will not be able to access it remotely unless you remove the 127.0.0.1 or add a reverse proxy in front of it. When using a reverse proxy, ensure that you set the external_url config option to the url that people can access your server at.

You can also use the latest image tag if you do not care about pinning to a specific version: ghcr.io/leighmacdonald/tf2bdd:latest. It will always be using the latest release tag.

docker run --name tf2bdd -d -it --restart unless-stopped \
    --pull always \
    -p 127.0.0.1:8899:8899 \
    --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)"/db.sqlite,target=/app/db.sqlite \
    --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)"/tf2bdd.yml,target=/app/tf2bdd.yml \
    ghcr.io/leighmacdonald/tf2bdd:v1.0.2

Make sure that when running under docker, you do set listen_host: "" in your config file so that its actually exposed over the docker ip.
