T2ServerQuery

Querying a Tribes 2 server actually requires sending 2 different packets to the server where the first byte is denoting the type of information we're asking for. The first is called the info packet which doesnt contain much more then the server name. The second is called the status packet which contains all the meat and potatoes.

The T2ServerQuery.query/3 function makes requests for both info and status and combines them into a single response for easy consumption.

Installation

The package can be installed by adding t2_server_query to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:t2_server_query, "~> 0.1.3"}
  ]
end
