Q3Servers

This gem will help you browse through Quake3-style master servers (Protocol 68) (tested only with Urban Terror)

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'q3_servers'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install q3_servers

Usage

    q3_urt_list = Q3Servers::List.new
    
    #### Some defaults settings you can change
    # q3_urt_list.master_address
    # q3_urt_list.only_favorites = false
    # q3_urt_list.timeout = 1
    # q3_urt_list.master_cache_secs = 600
    # q3_urt_list.info_cache_secs = 60
    # q3_urt_list.debug = true
    ####
    # q3_urt_list.add_favorite('XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX', '27960')
    # q3_urt_list.add_favorite('YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY', '27961')
    
    servers = q3_urt_list.fetch_servers({})

Threads

You can use the second argument as true, for multi-threaded fetching (one for each server found!)

q3_urt_list.fetch_servers({}, true)

Filter

Filter by keys from "info" attribute in Q3Servers::Server example:

 q3_urt_list.fetch_servers({hostname: "Arg"}, false)

And now read information from each server

Examples:

    # print info from a server
    servers.first.tap do |server| 
      puts server.info['hostname'] ## server.name_c_sanitized exclude symbols and colors from hostname field
      puts server.gametype # print gametype mapped in Q3Servers::Server::GT Hash
      puts server.info.keys # for more information you can access
    end

    # get only servers with clients
    server_with_clients = servers.select { |server| server.info['clients'].to_i > 0 }
    
    # show players 
    server_with_clients.each do |server|
      server.info['sv_status']['players'].each do |player|
      puts "#{player.name} has ping: #{player.ping} with #{player.kills} kills"
      end    
    end

More info

You can set only_favorites = true for fetch only servers added with add_favorite(host, port) method
