API?

Razer · Post by **Razer** » Fri Jun 17, 2011 3:12 pm

I want to write an app that records ship location, docking station, mats, prices, etc. Does anyone know a way to hook in to that? I'll be writing the program in C# or Java, depending on how you get the info. Is it a direct memory location read? Text file somewhere thats written live? DLL API? Any point in the right direction would be awesome.

Hi and welcome.

If you create a file "savedatasettings.txt" in your main game folder and set the value in it to 2000
you set update to 2sec. (Default C:\\sw3dg\\EvochronMercenary\\)

Also create a file "savedata.txt" in the same game forlder.
This file will be updated every 2 seconds in this scenario.

Try this and just check what info you'll get.

This feature is used for the EvoMetric program that is a map/GPS for the Game.
You'll find that on my website: http://evochron.junholt.se in the download section.

Also check the Customizing Kit here: http://www.starwraith.com/evochronmerce ... nloads.htm

Hope this helps to get you started.

Hi Razer,

My MapLog program is open source - in Visual C++ 2008 Express, feel free to take it apart and lift anything useful from it if that is any help to you...

Hi Razer, welcome to Evochron.

And hi Atollski! You're still alive! When we will see you back in space?

Pretty soon I think! Still haven't installed it on my new laptop yet, but will have to sort that out as a matter of urgency...
