Save content of a window possible ?

JesDyr · #1 08-31-2009, 09:49 AM

Would it be possible to save the contents of a game data window to an external file ? I want to export the item list from a player's house/guildhall. This is exposed to the client in the collect item window.

The reason for this is I would like to create a window to control the /save_layout and /load_layout commands while also exporting an item list used in layout. I have yet to try and figure out if I can pull that info directly from the saved layout file.

I attempted to search for the answer on this forum but only came up with an old post with the devs thinking about letting the UI save some variables out to a file.

if you only want to export you can dump everything into chat and grab it from the log file

if you also want to import it gets more complicated (custom POI files are my favorite for that)

Just export and thanks for the reply.

Guess I will jump in and see if I can figure out how to dump it to chat. Then to figure out how to make a plugin for ACT to grab it and dump it in a text file.

ok .. so I have no idea what I am doing

The information I want is using template data which is causing me headaches.

Does anyone have an example of exporting template data (like guild events) ?
