How to use the Login screen
When you open NautDrafter, you will be presented with the Login Screen. NautDrafter provides two options for logging in: As a player through Steam or as an anonymous spectator.
Logging in as a player allows you to participate in and watch drafting sessions, while logging in as a spectator allows you to watch other people drafting, but does not allow participation.
Steam Integration
Login uses the Steam Web API and OpenID. This means if you already have a Steam account you can log into NautDrafter in just a few clicks!
Logging in as a player for the first time
Click the "Login as player" button. Your default web browser will open and load Steam.

If you are not already logged into Steam, Steam will ask you to log in. Once you have logged into Steam, you will be presented with a page asking if you want to use your account to sign in to NautDrafter.
- Click the button reading Yes, Sign In. You web browser will now load a page notifying you that Steam Authentication has succeeded. It is now safe to close your web browser.
- Move back to the NautDrafter application. If your login was successful, you will see the Server Browser screen:
Once you've logged in once, future logins from the same computer will simply require pressing the Login as player button, at which point you'll be automatically logged in and taken directly to the Server Browser screen.
If your Steam profile is set to private, then we cannot access your Awesomenauts statistics, so your captain conflict score will be set to 0. This score is used on the Team Selection screen.
Logging in without steam
If for some reason you can not log in using the "Login as player" button, you can log in using the "Offline login" option. Clicking this option will open up a popup window that allows you to enter your details as shown below
The display name is what will be used as your name throughout the rest of the application. The icon URL is used to load an image for the icon that will be displayed for you. Just copy and paste the image URL you want to use into the text box.
Once you have entered a name, the "Log in" button will become enabled and clicking this will take you to the next screen.
By using the offline login, your Awsomenauts statistics are not retrieved so your captain conflict score will be set to 0.
Logging in as a Spectator
- Click the "Continue as spectator" button located below the "Login as player" button.
