node-quake3-rcon's Issues

Response adding "print"

Hello! I really don't think you want to work on this package anymore, but I've recently found it, and it's fitting my need perfectly. However, I have a small issue with responses inserting "print" at the start of the response, and then every 1000 characters or so.

Any idea what would be causing this, or what I could do to work around it? If you're able to help, it would be appreciated.

Examples
rcon serverinfo

print <------
Server info settings:
sv_maxclients 30
version CoD4 X - linux-i386 build 962 Mar 12 2019
shortversion -
build 962
branch dev_newarch

rcon status (in bold)

print
map: mp_crash
num score ping guid name lastmsg address qport rate

Quake 2 Support?

Would this work in theory with Quake2 as well / minor edits?

Check if there was an error

How can I check if there was an error with the connection?

Response slow?

I noticed the response messages were slow, so I took a look at the code and seems it opens and closes a connection each send, so I modified it so the connection would stay open and we could send consistently and quickly, the response was fast but after a few sends I stopped getting responses.

Is this is a know issue with rcon? is there a rate limiter or am I misunderstanding how UDP is supposed to work?
