Drako Bot | Game Server Check v1.1.0

---

What it does

GameServerStatus is a polished addon for Drako Bot that turns any Discord channel into a live status board for your game servers. It posts one embed per channel and edits it in place every cycle: no spam, no duplicates, no flicker.

Out of the box it supports Minecraft (Java & Bedrock), Garry's Mod, Counter-Strike 2, Rust, Valheim, ARK: Survival Evolved/Ascended, Palworld, DayZ, 7 Days to Die, Squad, Insurgency: Sandstorm, Project Zomboid, Unturned, Conan Exiles, Team Fortress 2, and roughly 300 more games via the gamedig library.

Features

• Single auto-updating embed per channel — same message edited every cycle (default 60s, min 15s).
• Interactive buttons(all replies are ephemeral — only the clicker sees them):
  • Connect — generates steam://connect/... deep links for Source-engine games (Garry's Mod, CS, TF2…). Manual-add hint for Minecraft.
  • Copy IP — sends the IP in a code block, ready to copy.
  • View All Players — appears when player count exceeds your inline limit. Separates humans from bots.
• Voice-channel display (optional) — read-only voice channels whose namesshow live status:
  • Status ( Online / Offline), Player Count, IP, Version, Map, Game Mode, Label, Dividers.
  • Auto-creates or adopts a category (or sits at guild root).
  • Rate-limit aware — respects Discord's 2-rename/10min cap.
  • Fully templated with placeholders: {server} {ip} {online} {max} {version} {map} {gameMode}.
• Per-server customization: name, IP, game type, embed colors (online/offline), thumbnail, button emojis, hide-port option, custom field titles, max players inline.
• Multilingual — English & Spanish included. Per-game footers ("Minecraft | Server Status", "Garry's Mod | Server Status"…). Drop a lang/<code>.yml file to add any language.
• Self-healing message lifecycle — on boot, scans channels for orphan addon messages from previous runs (and even from older "ServerCheck" addons) and cleans them up. Adopts the newest valid message automatically.
• Atomic state persistence — crash-safe JSON writes (write-to-temp + rename). Survives restarts cleanly.
• Config schema migrations — when the addon ships a newer schema, missing fields are added automatically and your old config is backed up as config.yml.bak.v<old>.<timestamp>.
• Auto-thumbnail for Minecraft Java via mcstatus.io (or set your own).
• Graceful degradation — missing gamedig? Addon disables itself with a clear log line. Missing voice perms? Embed still works. Query failed? Falls back to an offline embed instead of crashing.
• Verbose Debug mode for diagnosing query failures.

Installation

1. Add "gamedig": "^5.3.2" to your bot's package.json and run npm install.
2. Drop the GameServerStatus/ folder into your bot's addons/ directory.
3. Start the bot once — it auto-generates config.yml with placeholders.
4. Edit config.yml (channel IDs, server IPs, game types) and restart.

A full walkthrough, every config field explained, and a troubleshooting section ship with the addon (SETUP.md + DOCS.md).

Honest disclosure

A quick note so there are no surprises:

• I'm a native Spanish speaker and writing polished English isn't my strong suit, so this listing was drafted with AI assistance to make it readable.
• A large part of the addon itself was built with AI assistance as well — I designed the features, the architecture, and the behavior, then iterated on the code with AI acting as a pair programmer. Every line has been reviewed and tested before publishing.
• I prefer to be upfront about this rather than pretend otherwise. If you spot anything that reads oddly or behaves unexpectedly, please tell me — I'll fix it.
• Feel free to write to me in either English or Spanish (I'll reply faster in Spanish). My support replies on the English side may also be AI-assisted, but the decisions and the intent are mine.

About this listing

This addon is free and open-source under MIT — you can grab it on GitHub at no cost:


If the addon saves you time and you'd like to support continued development (new features, more games, better docs, faster issue response), grabbing it here for $2.99 is the easiest way to do that. You get the exact same files as the GitHub repo — the price is a tip, not a paywall.

Either way: thank you for using it. PRs and issues on GitHub are welcome.
