SourceBridge

Little util to connect to your Source Game Developer Console to Python.

Setup

Install psutils with pip: pip install psutils

Check out the example on main.py.

How does it connect?

SourceBridge uses 2 methods to connect to your game: Hijack and NetCon

Hijack

The Hijack method works with all tested games, but it is slower connecting to the game and sending the commands (Although not that noticeable).

Compatible Games

  • All (All tested, that is.)

Incompatible Games

  • None (None that were tested.)

NetCon

The NetCon method is faster connecting to SourceBridge, and faster sending the commands; but it's only compatible with a few games, and the game must be launched with the launch argument -netconport 2121.

Compatible Games

  • Portal 2
  • Left for Dead 2
  • Counter-Strike Global Offensive

Incompatible Games

  • Team Fortress 2
  • Portal (1)
  • Half-Life 2
  • Counter-Strike Source
  • Garry's Mod

Kudos

Kudos to PortalRunner for letting me know about the NetCon Method, and @maxdup for ValveEXE, inspiration and base for the Hijack Method.
