SourceLogger

This is a small program written in Go which redirects the output of the srcds_linux executable to stdout.

It can be used to fix for the following issue

stdin and stdout no longer works for linux garry's mod srcds server

How to use

1. Download the latest release from GitHub
2. Put the file source_logger into the same directory as srcds_linux
3. Replace in your start script the call of srcds_linux or srcds_run with source_logger.

An example start script before:

#!/bin/bash
./srcds_run -maxplayers 16 +gamemode terrortown +map ttt_waterworld

A start script using SourceLogger

#!/bin/bash
./source_logger -maxplayers 16 +gamemode terrortown +map ttt_waterworld

All arguments to source_logger will be forwarded to srcds_linux, so you can just keep your old arguments.

Drawbacks

There is a small drawbacks while using this software: You can't use the auto update feature of the srcds_run script, because the srcds_linux executable is called directly from the SourceLogger.

How does it work?

This program uses creack/pty to create a pseudo console and capture its output.
