node-srcds-rcon
Node.JS high-level wrapper for SRCDS's remote console (RCON) https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/RCON
Install
npm install srcds-rcon
If you think the npm version is outdated, you may install from github
npm install randunel/node-srcds-rcon
Introduction
This is a node driver for SRCDS's RCON. While it should work on all SRCDS versions, it has only been tested against the Source 2009 (orangebox) protocol. Development uses the latest CS:GO server build.
The current version 2.x
requires node.js version 4.x or newer. For older node.js versions including 0.8, install srcds-rcon 1.1.7
. All development uses node.js 5.x.
Testing
Install dev dependencies (npm install
does that by default). Set up a csgo server and bind it to 127.0.0.1:27015
, run it with -usercon
and rcon_password test
. Then run make test
.
Alternatively, set up a different server and edit test/integration.test.js
getIntegrationAuth
to return login details to the desired test server.
Usage
First establish connection
let Rcon = require('srcds-rcon');
let rcon = Rcon({
address: '192.168.1.10',
password: 'test'
});
rcon.connect().then(() => {
console.log('connected');
}).catch(console.error);
Run commands
let rcon = require('srcds-rcon')({
address: '192.168.1.10',
password: 'test'
});
rcon.connect().then(() => {
return rcon.command('sv_airaccelerate 10').then(() => {
console.log('changed sv_airaccelerate');
});
}).then(
() => rcon.command('status').then(status => console.log(`got status ${status}`))
).then(
() => rcon.command('cvarlist').then(cvarlist => console.log(`cvarlist is \n${cvarlist}`))
).then(
() => rcon.command('changelevel de_dust2').then(() => console.log('changed map'))
).then(
() => rcon.disconnect()
).catch(err => {
console.log('caught', err);
console.log(err.stack);
});
Specify command timeout
rcon.command('cvarlist', 1000).then(console.log, console.error);
Disconnect once finished
rcon.disconnect();
Errors
Some errors may contain partial command output. That indicates that the command was run, but reply packets have been lost.
rcon.command('cvarlist').then(() => {}).catch(err => {
console.log(`Command error: ${err.message}`);
if (err.details && err.details.partialResponse) {
console.log(`Got partial response: ${err.details.partialResponse}`);
}
});
When an error is returned, even if it doesn't contain a partial output, there is no guarantee the command was not run. The protocol uses udp and the packets sometimes get lost. The only guarantee the command did run is when the error contains a partial output.
