Babyduck.VConsole2.Client

A lightweight C# client library for interacting with VConsole2 used in Source 2 games (eg. Dota 2). This library allows you to connect to a running VConsole2 server, receive structured message chunks, parse common packages (such as PRNT), and send console commands.

Features

  • Connect to a VConsole2 TCP endpoint and stream message chunks.
  • Parse message chunks and convert payloads into typed packages that implement IPackage (includes Prnt package parser).
  • Send commands to the VConsole2 server.
  • Small, single-file API surface that's easy to integrate.

Supported frameworks

  • Library: .NET Standard 2.1
  • Sample project: .NET 10 (net10.0)

Changelog

Version Change
0.1.0 First version.
1.x.x The event system has been migrated from standard C# events to Rx.NET.

Requirements

Before using this library, make sure you have the following:

  • A Source 2 game installed (for example, Dota 2).
  • The game's Workshop Tools DLC installed and enabled. See Valve's documentation: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Dota_2_Workshop_Tools
  • The in-game developer console / VConsole2 enabled and configured to listen on a TCP port.
  • The correct TCP port is open/allowed by any local firewall (the sample uses port 29000).

Installation

You can install it from NuGet.

# using dotnet CLI
dotnet add package Babyduck.VConsole2.Client

Quick start & usage

  • See the Babyduck.VConsole2.Client.Sample project (targets .NET 10) for a runnable example and full usage.
  • The sample shows how to create a VConsole2Client, subscribe to incoming messages, parse PRNT packages, and send console commands.

The sample project demonstrates typical usage and is the best starting point for integration.
