i own a Saitek X52Pro an the various plug-ins for it's MFD (including the old X3_x52.exe) inspired me to create something similar for X4.
For this, i need to get a bunch of information out of the game, preferably without modifying it.
My initial thought was to parse the debug logs, but from what i can see, most player actions (apart from conversations and crew assignments of all things )
do not show up there. My current launch command looks like this:
Code: Select all
-scriptlogfile scriptlog.txt -debug all -logfile debuglog.txt -skipintro
(I guess an API would be too much to hope for )
I know the save contains the relevant logs, but parsing that is always going to lag the actual game by up to autosave interval.
If not, i might have to build a mod that introduced the required debug_text statements, but that would probably be A LOT, and is likely to become (at best) inaccurate or (at worst), break with every patch
Thanks in advance
