rust-GameDig

The fast library for querying game servers/services.

This library brings what node-GameDig does (and not only), to pure Rust!

Warning: This project goes through frequent API breaking changes and hasn't been thoroughly tested.

Community

Note that it isn't be a replacement for GitHub issues, if you have found a problem within the library or want to request a feature, it's better to do so here rather than on Discord.

Usage

Minimum Supported Rust Version is 1.82.0 and the code is cross-platform.

Pick a game/service/protocol (check the GAMES, SERVICES and PROTOCOLS files to see the currently supported ones), provide the ip and the port (be aware that some game servers use a separate port for the info queries, the port can also be optional if the server is running the default ports) then query on it.

Team Fortress 2 query example:

use gamedig::games::teamfortress2;

fn main() {
    let response = teamfortress2::query(&"127.0.0.1".parse().unwrap(), None);
    // None is the default port (which is 27015), could also be Some(27015)

    match response { // Result type, must check what it is...
        Err(error) => println!("Couldn't query, error: {}", error),
        Ok(r) => println!("{:#?}", r)
    }
}

Response (note that some games have a different structure):

{
  protocol: 17,
  name: "Team Fortress 2 Dedicated Server.",
  map: "ctf_turbine",
  game: "tf2",
  appid: 440,
  players_online: 0,
  players_details: [],
  players_maximum: 69,
  players_bots: 0,
  server_type: Dedicated,
  has_password: false,
  vac_secured: true,
  version: "7638371",
  port: Some(27015),
  steam_id: Some(69753253289735296),
  tv_port: None,
  tv_name: None,
  keywords: Some(
  "alltalk,nocrits"
  ),
  rules: [
    "mp_autoteambalance"
    :
    "1",
    "mp_maxrounds"
    :
    "5",
    //....
  ]
}
