About Send Connectionless Packet
Send a connectionless (out-of-band) UDP packet to a QuakeLive or Quake3 server and return the parsed reply.
Connectionless packets are raw UDP datagrams prefixed with four 0xFF bytes followed by a command string. Servers that speak the Q3/QL protocol respond in the same format. No prior connection or handshake is required — each call is a single send + single receive.
Supported commands (see the command enum):
• getinfo — returns a key-value info string with map, gametype, player count, hostname, sv_fps, and more.
• getstatus — returns the full info string plus one line per connected player (frags, ping, name). Use this to inspect current players.
• getchallenge — returns a one-time challenge number (used internally during connection setup).
• rcon — executes a console command server-side via the remote console interface. Requires rcon_password and rcon_command.
• ping — sends a probe and expects an ack reply; useful for a lightweight reachability check.
The response JSON always includes response_type (the first token of the server reply) and raw (the full reply text). For infoResponse and statusResponse an info object with parsed key-value pairs is also included; statusResponse additionally includes a players array.
