I love this bot! Another great addition would be to add the battlemetics API to support games that do not talk with steam.

Bot cannot gather informations. Server is online and informations are provided by different other services.

PLAYER_COUNT_PROVIDER = steam-query
GAME_TYPE = dayz
GAME_QUERY_PORT = 2305
GAME_IP = MY-IPV4-SERVERADDRESS

When I'm using steam or steam-query and the server goes down for say a minute the bot quits and needs a manual restart. I have found a work around using nodemon but thought it might be a nice addition to add👍

Do you plan to publish Docker image on aarch64 architecture?

Hi, i see there is a battleye option in the env file as well, but this doesn't work yet. Any chance you can also get this option up and running please?

Hey bud

would you be down to add functionality to use channel names as a counter

like This

Would be awesome

and thanks for the dev work

When the bot is started and, from the current observation, runs some hours (not sure how many), it errors out with the following error message:

Error in RCon connection: Error: Packet Overflow Occurred

The message occurs multiple times, which results in a log spam as well.

The bot could query this information from the CFTools API or it may be configured in the bot. It then should show when the server restarts next (relative time?).

See the CFTools feature request for the next restart time in the API: https://discord.com/channels/373098389174484992/701477631287361556/898897919007133737

When using CF Tools as the PLAYER_COUNT_PROVIDER. If the server is offline the bot does not refresh. It just shows the last known online as a status. Would be nice if it said the server was offline.

Thanks Florian for your amazing work
