sourcebridge

SourceBridge-js

Library to send commands to Source games. Based on the Python library SourceBridge.

Installation

npm install sourcebridge

Usage

const SourceBridge = require('sourcebridge');
const bridge = new SourceBridge();

bridge.run('your_command_here')
  .then(() => console.log('Command executed'))
  .catch((err) => console.error(err));

How does it connect?

SourceBridge uses 2 methods to connect to your game: Hijack and NetCon

Hijack

The Hijack method works with all tested games, but it is slower connecting to the game and sending the commands (Although not that noticeable).

Compatible Games

• All (All tested, that is.)

Incompatible Games

• None (None that were tested.)

NetCon

The NetCon method is faster connecting to SourceBridge, and faster sending the commands; but it's only compatible with a few games, and the game must be launched with the launch argument -netconport 2121.

Compatible Games

• Portal 2
• Left for Dead 2
• Counter-Strike Global Offensive

Incompatible Games

• Team Fortress 2
• Portal (1)
• Half-Life 2
• Counter-Strike Source
• Garry's Mod

Kudos

Kudos to PortalRunner for letting me know about the NetCon Method, and @maxdup for ValveEXE, inspiration and base for the Hijack Method.
