Logging endpoint for game servers

[koraktor]

GoldSrc and Source servers are able to redirect their log messages to one or more logging endpoints using the log on and logaddress_add CVARs.

The servers will send packets of the types S2A_LOGSTRING (0x52) and S2A_LOGKEY (0x53).

That's a pretty cool idea. Would that work with PHP or is it limited to the other methods?

[koraktor]

As always, I'll try to provide equal support for all three implementations.

Oh this isn't part of the library yet? And I was just looking for that :/

PS: PHP might be a challenge in that regard as PHP usually isn't running in an infinite runtime environment which would be required to keep the socket open. If it's not going to work out one might need to use NodeJS to do some cache proxy trick...

This would be a very useful feature, one of the main reasons I would choose to use steam-condenser.

Any news on this?

[koraktor]

I think this probably may find its way into a separate project. Using only a single language (probably not PHP) and probably not using code from Steam Condenser.

Any suggestions? @IAMONSYS, @neico, @MingweiSamuel, @Hackmastr

No PHP? That would suck :P

I'm using Datagram to get logs now:

$loop = React\EventLoop\Factory::create();

$factory = new React\Datagram\Factory($loop);

$factory->createServer("{$bind_addr}:{$bind_port}")->then(function (React\Datagram\Socket $server) use ($addr, $port){
    $server->send('hello', "{$addr}:{$port}"); // Must send a message to the server
    $server->on('message', function($message, $address, $server) use ($addr, $port){
        $message = substr($message, 7); // Remove weird characters at beginning
        $message = str_replace(array("\0", "\r"), '', $message);
        echo $message ;
    });
});
$loop->run();

Would be nice to have all in one package :+1:
