Accessing game data with python

  • heretik     28th Jun 2012 Member 0 Permalink

    Is there some way to go look into the game's data with python to go look at pressure or temperature of specific coordinates? If i know how/where to look i could find a way to create data points and actually analyze data that comes out of PT; such as the temperature in a reactor, pressure or ect. Plus, you can print pretty charts and plots and do anything you want with all that data.

     

    And if someone really knows how; we could reverse it and trigger, for example, appearance of sparks...

    Not without re-integrating the Python Console, which was mostly removed a while ago due to cross-compilation issues and file size. Other than that, you'd need to attach python the process. Not something I believe is do-able at the moment.

    You may be able to enable the python console by compiling with the PYTHONCONSOLE flag (while removing LUACONSOLE flag).
    If you aren't aware of the Lua console, I suggest you take a look at what that can do https://powdertoy.co.uk/Wiki/W/Lua.html
