Is there an API for 3rd party code

[Atlay]

Hiya all,

Sorry for the n00b question, but I've tried searching for this info and cannot find it anywhere. Basically, at a glance, it looks like UI mods are achieved by tweaking and adding to the XML config files that define window placement, etc. What I am wondering is whether there is a full API that would allow an external 3rd party application (such as a parser) to feed dynamic data directly into a widget on a custom in-game window.

I've been away from the game for 6+ months, and my memory of parsers when I played before was that they put the parse data onto the clipboard, which was then pasted into a chat channel. It would be much nicer to be able to present the data directly in a custom window, if the parser could somehow feed data in.

If anyone can confirm whether this is possible, and maybe provide a link to a basic tutorial on how to get started, I'd be very much appreciative. Ideally I'd like to work in C# for the parser, but could use Visual Basic or any other programming language if necessary.


Thanks in advance,

Atlay
