gamedig

​Gamedig is a tool that queries game servers and returns outputs data from a query in to json format. It can return not only if the game server is online but various data such as current maps and players. This allows ./gameserver details to display live information.
Gamedig super-seeds gsquery as the tool to monitor game servers. gamedig is currently optional and gsquery is kept to ensure compatibility because of gamedig requiring nodejs to be installed.
