GameQ documentation

GameQ queries game and voice servers from PHP and returns protocol-native data together with a predictable normalized result. This documentation describes the maintained SoftCreatR Media fork and version 5 behavior.

Getting started

1. Install GameQ.
2. Run the quick-start examples.
3. Select an identifier from supported servers.
4. Check server definitions and query ports when a server does not use its default layout.

Project status

Version 5 is the maintained release line and requires PHP 8.1 or newer. Stable identifiers are expected to be production-ready, but game-server query formats can change independently of this library. Beta identifiers need additional real-world coverage and are labeled in the supported-server table.

Open issues in the fork's issue tracker. Do not include passwords, authentication tokens, private addresses, or unredacted packet captures in public reports.
