## Descrição

Game Server Status shows your community a clean, modern status card telling them
whether your server is up right now – including player count, version, MOTD and 
ping. No external services: the query runs directly over the game protocol (Minecraft
Java & Bedrock, Steam/Source A2S, and the Quake 3 engine used by Call of Duty).

Easy to use: add your server under the “Game Server” menu (name, address, port) –
you instantly get a ready-to-use shortcode, or let it create a finished page with
one click.

    ```
    [gpgss_server_status id="1"]
    ```

With live updates (every 30 seconds, without reloading):

    ```
    [gpgss_server_status id="1" refresh="30"]
    ```

Or directly by address, without saving:

    ```
    [gpgss_server_status host="mc.yourserver.com" port="25565"]
    ```

Results are cached for 60 seconds to keep your site fast.

#### What’s on board

 * Minecraft Java & Bedrock
 * Steam/Source: CS2, Rust, ARK, Valheim, GMod, 7 Days to Die, TF2 …
 * Call of Duty 1, 2 and 4, plus the rest of the Quake 3 family: Return to Castle
   Wolfenstein, Enemy Territory, Urban Terror, Quake III Arena …
 * Farming Simulator 25, 22 and 19 – read from the web interface of the dedicated
   server
 * Server icon, “Copy address” & “Join” (steam://connect)
 * Player list, live auto-refresh, server grid
 * Player history (24h) & uptime display
 * Gutenberg block, design options (5 card styles, theme/color/width)
 * Downtime alerts via email & Discord

#### Planned

 * Rank/perk sales with in-game delivery

The plugin is fully translatable. Every string is ready for community translation
on translate.wordpress.org, and a POT template ships in the `languages` folder for
anyone who would rather translate with Poedit or Loco Translate.

## Perguntas frequentes

### Which servers are supported?

Minecraft Java and Bedrock. Steam/Source games via A2S: Counter-Strike 2, Rust, 
ARK, Valheim, Garry’s Mod, 7 Days to Die, Team Fortress 2 and more. Games on the
Quake 3 engine: Call of Duty 1, 2 and 4, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Wolfenstein:
Enemy Territory, Urban Terror, Quake III Arena and more. And Farming Simulator 25,
22 and 19.

Mind the port: Source games are asked on their **query port**, which is not always
the game port. Quake 3 games are asked on the **game port** itself – 28960 for Call
of Duty, 27960 for the others.

Farming Simulator is the odd one out: a dedicated server answers no query protocol
at all. The plugin reads the XML feed of the server’s own web interface instead,
so it needs that port (**8080** by default, reachable from the internet) and the
access code shown there. A field for the code appears as soon as you pick the game.

### My Call of Duty server shows up as offline

Check two things first. Pick the right entry in the game list – a Call of Duty server
does not answer a Steam query, so choosing “Other Steam/Source game” will always
show it as offline. And use the game port (28960 by default), not a separate query
port.

If it still fails, the Diagnostics page under “Game Server” tells you whether your
hosting allows outgoing connections at all. Should that look fine, please open a
topic in the support forum with the game and port – some heavily modified servers
answer differently, and I am happy to look into it.

### Does the plugin need an external API?

No. The query runs directly over sockets (Minecraft Server List Ping, and UDP for
Bedrock and Steam/Source), and for Farming Simulator straight to the web interface
of your own dedicated server.

### Can it show whether a whitelist is active?

No. The whitelist status is not part of the server response and cannot be reliably
read from the outside.

### Will I be notified when my server goes down?

Yes. Under “Game Server > Alerts” you can enable email and/or a Discord webhook.
The plugin checks every 5 minutes and reports downtime as well as recovery.

### Something is broken, or I am missing a feature

Please tell me. Open a topic in the support forum – it is just me behind this plugin
and I read every single one. For problems, the “Game Server > Help & Feedback” page
in your admin points you to the Diagnostics tool first, which finds the cause in
most cases. For wishes: say which game or which detail you need. That is how the
list of supported games grew in the first place.

### Can I translate the plugin into my language?

Yes, and both ways work. The easiest one is translate.wordpress.org: translate there
and WordPress delivers the language pack to every site automatically, no files to
copy. If you prefer to do it yourself, take `languages/gaming-plus-game-server-status.
pot` from the plugin folder, translate it in Poedit or Loco Translate, and save 
the result as `gaming-plus-game-server-status-de_DE.mo` (with your own locale) in`
wp-content/languages/plugins/`. Placed there it also survives plugin updates.

### Is any data sent to third parties?

No. The plugin only contacts the game servers YOU enter (to query their status),
and – only if you enable it – your own Discord webhook for downtime notifications.
There is no external service, no tracking, and no sharing of visitor data.

## Registro de alterações

#### 1.0.9

 * New game: Farming Simulator 25, 22 and 19. A dedicated server does not answer
   any of the usual query protocols, so the plugin reads the XML feed of the server’s
   own web interface. That needs the access code from there – a new field appears
   once you pick the game. The code is stored encrypted and never leaves the admin
   area. Side effect: this query runs over HTTP, so it also works on hosting that
   blocks fsockopen or outgoing UDP.
 * Translators: the plugin now ships a POT template in the `languages` folder, so
   it can be translated with Poedit or Loco Translate without any extra tooling.

#### 1.0.8

 * Diagnostics is more honest now: “outgoing connections” only ever meant that PHP
   has the function, not that connections actually get through. And if not a single
   server can be reached although UDP works, the page now says what that usually
   means – hosting that only allows the usual ports. Game servers listen elsewhere.

#### 1.0.7

 * Fixed: the UDP check was too easy to pass. It asked a DNS server on port 53 –
   the one UDP port almost every firewall leaves open. Hosts that allow DNS but 
   block UDP everywhere else were reported as fine, while no game server could ever
   answer. The check now also tries a high port and tells the two cases apart.
 * For developers: new filter `gpgss_query_fallback`. It fires when a query fails
   and lets an extension take over – for example to have the lookup done elsewhere
   when the web host blocks UDP.
 * New: an address like “yourserver.com:27015” pasted into the address field now
   works. Servers are passed around in that form, so that is how people enter them–
   the port is taken from the address, and a stray colon no longer breaks the lookup.
 * Fixed: after entering a wrong port, the connection test could suggest a completely
   different server that happened to run on the same machine – a real risk at game
   hosters, where many customers share one IP. It now only tries the standard ports
   of the protocol you selected.

#### 1.0.6

 * Fixed: the connection test gave up too early. If you entered a game port for 
   a game that is queried over UDP, the test stopped after the first round and wrongly
   blamed a firewall – the standard query ports were never tried. It now always 
   searches to the end.
 * Port 27015, the standard Steam query port, is now tried right away. Entering 
   the game port (Icarus 17777, Rust 28015) is the most common mistake there is.
 * Clearer wording when nothing answers: a refused plain connection proves nothing
   for games queried over UDP, so the test no longer claims a firewall over it.

#### 1.0.5

 * New: the connection test and the diagnostics page now check whether this website
   may send UDP at all. Many hosts allow outgoing TCP but block UDP completely –
   Steam games, Minecraft Bedrock and the Call of Duty family are queried over UDP
   and can then never work, no matter which port you enter. The plugin now says 
   so plainly instead of blaming the port.
 * Clearer wording when no protocol answers: a reply on TCP does not prove the game
   is listening, because hosting panels map every port for TCP and UDP alike.

#### 1.0.4

 * New: “Test connection” button when adding or editing a server. It tries the protocols
   and the usual ports by itself and fills in what actually answered – so games 
   that are not in the list can be set up without guesswork.
 * New: when a query fails, administrators now see the reason on the card and in
   the server list, instead of a bare “offline”. Visitors still only see the status.
 * The test tells apart two cases that used to look identical: a server that does
   not answer, and a port that is blocked by a firewall – in which case players 
   cannot connect either.
 * Fixed: Minecraft addresses that rely on an SRV record now work. Most hosters 
   hand out a short address without a port and redirect to the real host behind 
   it – those servers were shown as offline although players could join fine.
 * New game: Icarus (query port 27015, not the game port 17777).
 * Fixed: server names on Quake 3 engine games (Call of Duty, Enemy Territory and
   friends) showed leftover colour codes such as ^z. Only digits were removed, but
   the engine treats any character after the caret as a colour.

#### 1.0.3

 * New: support for the Quake 3 engine – Call of Duty 1, 2 and 4, Return to Castle
   Wolfenstein, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, Urban Terror and Quake III Arena. 
   Thanks to the user who asked for Call of Duty 2 in the support forum.
 * Player names on these servers are shown with their colour codes removed, and 
   names in older encodings no longer disappear.
 * Servers that only answer the shorter “getinfo” query are now recognised as well.
 * Internal: tidied up the uninstall routine and the autoload migration; no change
   in behaviour.

#### 1.0.2

 * New: “Help & Feedback” page under “Game Server” – the quickest way to reach me
   if something is broken or you are missing a feature.
 * New: “Support” and “Rate this plugin” links on the Plugins screen.
 * Occasional, dismissible reminder that a review helps – shown only on this plugin’s
   own pages, only after two weeks of actual use, and never again once you say so.
 * Added a page describing the optional Pro add-on. The free plugin contains no 
   locked functionality: everything you already use stays free and keeps working
   unchanged.

#### 1.0.1

 * Performance: player history and alert state are no longer autoloaded on every
   page request.
 * Performance: server grids now use a shared time budget – a page with unreachable
   servers no longer waits for every timeout in turn. Remaining cards load in the
   background.
 * Performance: front-end CSS is only loaded on pages that actually show a status
   card.
 * New: “Diagnostics” page under “Game Server” – shows whether your hosting allows
   outgoing connections and tests every saved server directly.
 * The player history is only recorded for servers that actually display it.
 * Clearer message when the hosting blocks outgoing connections (instead of just“
   offline”).
 * Accessibility: the history graph has a proper label, and the “Copy address” button
   reports back to screen readers.
 * The “Copy address” button no longer uses inline JavaScript (works with strict
   Content-Security-Policy setups).
 * Hardening: limits on the size of server responses and server icons.
 * Uninstalling the plugin now removes all its options, scheduled tasks and cached
   data.

#### 1.0.0

 * First public release. Includes: Minecraft (Java & Bedrock) and Steam/Source games(
   CS2, Rust, ARK, Valheim, GMod, 7DTD, TF2), server icon, copy/join button, player
   list, live auto-refresh, server grid, player history (24h) & uptime, Gutenberg
   block, 5 card styles with design options, and downtime alerts (email/Discord).
