The API doesn't seem to find all islands the player owns, or all islands in general (by adding a method for that).

OR THEN, the API doesn't seem to be able to correctly determine the names of the islands, sometimes the error "[The name cannot be that long...]" seems to be thrown, but most of the time no error is sent, I checked the problem should start from here:

It almost looks like (wchar_t*)(address); returns nothing, which makes wchar_t* stringLocation unusable.

You have a .exe file in releases, the first and only one, and there is some talk about making it more user-friendly.

What exactly does, or well, is the .exe file supposed to do? From the description of the release, it can seem like a helper program to the script, and not the script itself?

I tried running it, seems to hook up to the game, but nothing happens. Does the script support moving resources between worlds btw?

Hello!

I would like to understand how to use and contribute to this program, but it's impossible for me to understand how to build and use this. I've built something called GoodMinMax and Monocle but they all crash the game.

Would you be willing to setup a call, maybe on Jitsi, if you don't have the time to write all this? Otherwise just some quick info here on Github would already be nice.

I could afterwards take a few screenshots, write down my process, and make some kind of tutorial for those interested.

As of now, I think the project is unusable to anyone but you and the other contributors. It's a shame because it looks like a very nice project in which a lot of effort has been put. It's sad that it is missing only a little bit of doc to get the community to help you and try it on their own.

Do you have any advice on how to extract trade information from the game for modding purposes? I am trying to create a system for controlling trade externally but the first step is that I need to extract the trade routes that are currently active and what they are shipping. After I unpacked the game RDAs I notice that the XML is effectively unreadable as the goods and ammounts and such seem to be just raw hex identifiers.

If you have any advice on parsing these / a table for converting the names of goods to their hex codes I'd very much appreciate it! My exact context is I'm trying to generate network graphs of a players trade network from save games.

Hello,

The previous issue related to telegraph.GetAllAreas(out areas); is resolved, but now the program and the game crashes with telegraph.GetPlayerIslandsInWorld(areas[0], out islands); by "decommenting"

Thanks in advance,
Have a good day

Hi :)
thank you for your work, it looks interesting.

Unfortunately I'm no programmer, so understanding anything from your work by looking at the code is not possible for me :D

But I'm currently "fighting" with lua scripts from Anno 1800 and every day hating the devs that they only exposed so incomplete stuff to lua ( 1) there is setPosition, but no getPosition. 2) I see no way to add/read out ObjectLabels that could be used to mark objects for usage in xml triggers Objectfilter, 3) there is no way to change owner of any object, just of selected, 4) no clue if it is possible to spawn an object in lua, there is a debugspawnobject, but no clue what arguments it expects ... and many many more missing important features).

So I wondered if there really is no better way to write nice scripts for Anno, than to struggle with this incomplete mess of lua :D
But it should be properly usable as a mod. So asking the user to install a separate program and to run it next to Anno is no option.
..
How does your project work? Would the things I listed above be possible with your scripting api in theory?
Would it somehow be possible to install it as a mod, at best with mod.io subscribe feature? Or at least with asking the users to put a custom dll into the games folder, like we did in the past with the modloader?

Btw. Taube lately found out how to calculate AreaIDs and OIDs from the SessionID,AreaIndex,IslandID,ObjectID. Not sure if you also needs such things in your scripting API or if you already knew how to do this.

How did you obtain all the function offsets in TomCruise/dllmain.cpp : ComputeFunctionOffsets?
Would it be possible to extract more game statistics (e.g. number of factories on island, ship unload statistics - as displayed in the storage tab)?

Hello,

The program gets stuck at acceptedSocket.Wait(); (Telegraph.gen.cs#L63)

I tested your API by running the TestMonocle source code, but it doesn't work.
The program gets stuck at acceptedSocket.Wait();

Problem with local IP address

I also got something that looks strange to me, the address returned by IPAddress "ipAddress = ipHostInfo.AddressList[0];"

Thanks in advance,
Have a good day

Hello, is it possible to release an .exe version of this? I really want to use this, but I don't know how to get it to run.

Thanks in advance

Hello,
I am very interested by this API & I would like to use it.
I followed the steps described in the readme but I'm having trouble to make it work.
More specifically:

• Launch the solution (still in debug mode) : The only runnable project in this solution is SurvellianceVan so I set it as the project to run. I looked at the code & it appeared to me that it creates a server and waits for clients
• Run code using the monocle project : When I run monocle, I get a bug at the line with the m_Socket.Connect in the Telegraph constructor. I tried changing the port to match the one indicated in SurvellianceVan without any success.

Can you please give more details on how to use it ?
Best regards.
