node-GameDig - Game Server Query Library --- node-GameDig is a game server library, capable of querying for the status of nearly any game server. If has a node.js api, as well as a command line interface. Usage from Node.js --- ```shell npm install gamedig ``` ```javascript var Gamedig = require('gamedig'); Gamedig.query( { type: 'minecraft', host: 'mc.example.com' }, function(state) { if(state.error) console.log("Server is offline"); else console.log(state); } ); ``` > Is NPM out of date? If you're feeling lucky, you can install the latest code with > ```shell > npm install "git+https://github.com/sonicsnes/node-gamedig.git" > ``` ### Input Parameters * **type**: One of the game IDs listed in the game list below * **host** * **port**: (optional) Uses the protocol default if not set * **notes**: (optional) Passed through to output ###Callback Function The callback function is "guaranteed" to be called exactly once. If an error occurs, the returned object will contain an "error" key, indicating the issue. If the error key exists, it should be assumed that the game server is offline or unreachable. Otherwise, the returned object is guaranteed to contain the following keys: **Stable, always present:** * **name** * **map** * **password**: Boolean * **maxplayers** * **players**: (array of objects) Each object **may** contain name, ping, score, team, address * **bots**: Same schema as players * **notes**: Passed through from the input **Unstable, not guaranteed:** * **raw**: Contains all information received from the server * **query**: Details about the query performed It can usually be assumed that the number of players online is equal to the length of the players array. Some servers may return an additional player count number, which may be present in the unstable raw object.

Let us know so we can fix it 1. You can try using some common query protocols directly by using one of these server types: * protocol-ase * protocol-battlefield * protocol-doom3 * protocol-gamespy1 * protocol-gamespy2 * protocol-gamespy3 * protocol-nadeo * protocol-quake2 * protocol-quake3 * protocol-unreal2 * protocol-valve * protocol-valvegold ### Games with Additional Notes #### Minecraft Some minecraft servers may not respond to a typical status query. If this is the case, try using the 'minecraftping' server type instead, which uses a less accurate but more reliable solution. #### Mumble For full query results from Mumble, you must be running the [GTmurmur plugin](http://www.gametracker.com/downloads/gtmurmurplugin.php). If you do not wish to run the plugin, or do not require details such as channel and user lists, you can use the 'mumbleping' server type instead, which uses a less accurate but more reliable solution #### Nadeo (ShootMania / TrackMania / etc) The server must have xmlrpc enabled, and you must pass the xmlrpc port to GameDig, not the connection port. You must have a user account on the server with access level User or higher. Pass the login into to GameDig with the additional options: login, password #### Terraria Requires tshock server mod, and a REST user token, which can be passed to GameDig with the additional option: token #### Separate Query Port Games with this note use a query port which is usually not the same as the game's connection port. You must pass the query port to GameDig, not the connection port. Usage from Command Line --- Want to integrate server queries from a batch script or other programming language? You'll still need npm to install gamedig: ```shell npm install gamedig -g ``` After installing gamedig globally, you can call gamedig via the command line using the same parameters mentioned in the API above: ```shell gamedig --type minecraft --host mc.example.com --port 11234 ``` The output of the command will be in JSON format.
