Project Overview
A cross-platform Discord bot for monitoring game server status, utilizing Node.js gamedig library to query servers and Discord.NET for bot interactions. Supports multiple game types with real-time status updates in Discord channels.
Skills Used
Overview
Verdansk Game Bot is a self-hosted Discord bot designed to monitor game server status and report it directly in Discord text channels. Built with .NET for cross-platform compatibility, it leverages the node-gamedig library to query game servers and Discord.NET for seamless Discord integration. Game servers are stored in an SQL database using Entity Framework Core, enabling persistent watch lists and multi-threaded monitoring.
The bot supports slash commands for adding, listing, changing, and removing game servers from the watch list. It periodically checks server status (online/offline, player count, etc.) and updates the message embed in Discord.
Features
- Multi-Game Support: As supported by gamedig (e.g., Project Zomboid, Valve games, etc.)
- Real-Time Monitoring: Configurable update intervals for checking game server status
- Interactive Embeds: game server details, player counts, join links
- Persistent Storage: SQL database for storing game servers list
- Cross-Platform: Windows, Linux (Service-mode), and macOS
Technical Implementation
Architecture
The bot consists of several key components:
- CommandService: Slash commands and modal interactions
- GameServerWatcher: Periodic game server queries and status updates
- GameServerModel: Entity Framework model for database operations
- EF Core Migrations: For managing SQL database schema changes
Key Technologies
- Discord.NET: Discord API
- Entity Framework Core: ORM for SQL database
- Node.js gamedig: Game server querying via NodeJS interop
