Release 180409: Rising Worlds and ET: Legacy

Rising Worlds

ET: Legacy

node-gamedig Integration

LinuxGSM now supports node-gamedig query tool.

This allows live info to be added to details such as players, current map and bots. node-gamedig can also be used with monitor instead of gsquery.

node-gamedig is currently optional and not required to run LinuxGSM.

We will be looking at further uses for node-gamedig in the future.

to install you need to install Node.js 6.0 or higher and jq.

apt install nodejs npm jq
yum install nodejs npm jq
npm install gamedig -g

Remember to update your server.

./gameserver update-lgsm
