Cod4 Rcon Commands

A simple wrapper library to the rcon commands you can send to a cod4 server. Response data for commands 'status', 'rconStatus' and 'info' is parsed into custom type object, so it is possible to easily manage the server status/info.

Installation

$ yarn add @arbytez/cod4-rcon-commands
# or
$ npm install --save @arbytez/cod4-rcon-commands

Usage

import { createRconCommands } from '@arbytez/cod4-rcon-commands';
// const { createRconCommands } = require('@arbytez/cod4-rcon-commands');

const cod4ServerIp = '127.0.0.1';
const cod4ServerPort = 28960;
const cod4ServerRcon = 'myrconpass';

const rconCmds = createRconCommands(
  cod4ServerIp,
  cod4ServerPort,
  // you can omit the rcon pass but you will be only be able
  // to execute the 'status' and 'info' commands
  cod4ServerRcon
);

const status = await rconCmds.status();

// commands are sent using the udp protocol so we can not track the connection state (start/end)
// each command has its predefined timeout (in ms) already set
// but you can specify a custom timeout for each of them
// useful if you get truncated results from the rcon requests
// timeout default values are different for each command.

// maxTimeOut of 1500ms instead of the default value (for rconStatus cmd is 500ms)
const rconStatus = await rconCmds.rconStatus(1500);

// if you need to send a custom command
const customCmd = await rconCmds.execRconCmd('custom command');
