Multiple accounts

[taviow]

So sunday (yes, sunday D: ) me and my friends are going to do an all nighter. We will have multiple computers , using a wireless connection to play games with together. TF2 is obviously one of them. Each one of us has a steam account, of course. I'm asking if it's possible to log in multiple steam accounts using only one IP or whatever. I have no idea how it works, but me and my friends want to get in a public server to play with other people. Mad fun!

Yes. As long as the Steam IDs are unique (eg you're not using the same account, just the same IP) you will have no problems. Except that in some games Valve will turn your screen black as spectator after you die for IP ghosting.

Also, on Sunday the mod I'm working on, Ballmen, will release Beta 1.5. So you and your friends should play that some too

It will work fine. It's not like Battle.net's retardedness where having multiple computers on the same IP address will drive it mad.

I have 3 people including myself who play steam games together all the time

This is actually part of an admin mod, and is not in any way related to VALVe.

you can only play with the account online for one person. lan however you can do as many as you want with the account. if one person is in a public server and the other joins the server with the same account; it will disconnect the first person.

Thank you all!
Sunday will be great, and hopefully I can play with you too Pitz.

Ah, that would explain why it doesn't happen all the time
