SourceLogger

This is a small program written in Go which redirects the output of the srcds_linux executable to stdout.

It was originally intended for Garrys Mod, but this fork is intended for running TF2 SRCDS via SystemD and Screen.

How to use

1. Download the latest release from GitHub
2. Put the file source_logger into the same directory as srcds_linux
3. Add source-logger before srcds_run or srcds_linux.

An example start script before:

#!/bin/bash
./srcds_linux -maxplayers 16 +gamemode terrortown +map ttt_waterworld

A start script using SourceLogger

#!/bin/bash
./source-logger ./srcds_linux -maxplayers 16 +gamemode terrortown +map ttt_waterworld

All arguments to source_logger will be forwarded to srcds_linux, so you can just keep your old arguments.

How does it work?

This program uses creack/pty to create a pseudo console and capture its output.
