Ok, thanks for the info. I certainly dont want to break any EULA.
I already have the bones of a parser developed, but seeing the Map UI required the .Net framework installed made me wonder if there were officially sanctioned API hooks to talk to. I guess that mod just uses .Net for the map updater part.
I'll stick to making my parser run in a window, and possibly see how it works on my old laptop sat next to the gaming PC.
Thanks again.
