Comparing SMF hash password

[MuffinTastic]

I am making a login system for game servers and I want them to compare the user/pass input from an ingame command to the members' U/Ps in the forum via MySQL.

I already have connecting to MySQL and retrieving data via Python (the game server scripting language), etc.. but I'm not quite sure how the hashes are generated.

I saw in one post in the SMF 1.1.x support forum that it used to be

Code Select Expand

$hash = sha1(strtolower($username) . $password);
but of course that's outdated now.

Can someone please tell me how the hashes are put together nowadays?
Thanks in advance :)

That's how it is in 2.0 too.
