To bring up a similar issue that's been discussed before, I was curious about saving text to a file from in-game. I know that it's been shown why this isn't possible but I was curious if anyone had considered the idea of something similar to the Broker Save Searches feature, where we can enter specific text and click a Save button to have it instantly saved for future reference to an xml file. Would something like this be at all possible with something like the InfoCenter or even a custom Notepad/Journal window?

Just curious is all.

Hmm, not sure about that. I'd have to guess that the broker searches may be hardcoded.

As for an ingame notepad... I made something like that using a simple online system that uses cookies and the in-game browser. Worked well enough for me.

I don't have the bandwith on my site for everyone to use it, but since you ask I'll post it so anyone can host it:

PHP Code:

$on = $_POST['turned'];
$text = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['note']; //Get the default one
if($on == 2)
{
    $code = $_POST['code']; 
    $notename = "note" . $code;
    $text = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[$notename];

    setcookie($notename, $text, time()+60*60*24*30);
    echo "Note Saved! <br> \n\r";
}
