Simple and easy to use game server browser.

Simple and easy to use game server browser for Linux.

Project status note (2016-06-13)

Right now Obozrenie is considered feature-complete and ready for general usage.

However, the fact that I chose Python as the language of code led to significant hurdles in terms of application performance, maintainability and shipping today. I am looking into rewriting Obozrenie in a lower level language (like Vala or Go) for better speed and maintainability.

Therefore, new features are not likely to be implemented in this codebase. Game support, however, will expand on request. Nevertheless you are welcome to voice your wishes at issue tracker.

Overview

Obozrenie is a game server browser that can be used to access information about and connect to multiplayer servers.

Features

• Fast, fully threaded stat engine
• Easy to use, elegant, uncluttered GUI
• Supports various backends, designed for modularity.

Dependencies

Required:

• Python 3.2+
• PythonGI with GTK+ 3.10+ and higher
• PyXDG
• python-pytoml
• python-xmltodict
• python-setuptools

Optional:

• QStat - for QStat backend support

Get it

Docker

Obozrenie project ships Ubuntu-based Docker image containing Obozrenie browser, runnable out of the box. It is only intended for quick test drive since custom GTK+ theming, game launching or settings storage is not available in this version.

Install / update

docker pull vorot93/obozrenie

Run

docker run -it --rm -e LANG=$LANG -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix vorot93/obozrenie

Manual

git clone https://github.com/vorot93/obozrenie.git
cd obozrenie
./obozrenie-gtk

Technical details

Obozrenie is written in Python, with use of PyGObject libraries. It consists of several backends for master server interaction, core module and different GUIs.

• Backends query master servers and receive the server list.
• Core library forms multi-layered tables with game settings and server information (Game Table) and Obozrenie-wide configuration (Settings Table).
• GTK+ GUI shows this information in a user-friendly form.

Wrong version of Python in the requirements

The readme file says that Python 3.2+ is required by the code uses type hints which were introducted in Python 3.5.

Running on Python 3.4 will result in:

ImportError: No module named 'typing'

GoldSrc support

Please add support for GoldSrc games like Counter-Strike Half-Life, etc. if possible. It would be still useful.

gtk+ 3.12 required, while ubuntu LTS has only 3.10

gtk+ 3.12 required, while ubuntu LTS has only 3.10
I suppose .ui file from glade should be saved in older format
self.builder.add_from_file(GTK_UI_FILE)
gi._glib.GError: assets/obozrenie/ui/obozrenie_gtk.ui: required gtk+ version 3.12, current version is 3.10

If I change 23 line in .ui file to
I get
gi._glib.GError: Failed to open file 'assets/pixmaps/obozrenie/flags/.svg': No such file or directory
error

Add support for Voxelands and Freeminer

Voxelands and Freeminer are forks of Minetest, which is already included.
Can you please add support for those games?
I hope it should be not too hard to add support for those games because those are forks.
Voxelands may be a bit harder since it is based on a much older version of Minetest than Freeminer.
