Library to use the TCP communication mechanism/protocol from PipBoy Android/iOS app with .NET
see branch CommandSending
The game state can be tracked with the GameStateReader class and accessed via a dynamic object:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using (var streamProvider = new PipBoyStreamProvider())
using (var stream = streamProvider.Connect("192.168.0.5", 27000))
{
var gameStateReader = new GameStateReader(stream);
while (gameStateReader.NextState())
{
Console.WriteLine("Player X position: " + (float)gameStateReader.GameState.Map.World.Player.X);
}
}
}Instead of connecting to the game, the data can also be read from file for easy debugging:
// ...
using (var stream = streamProvider.ReadFile("data.dump"))
// ...See PipBoyTest/Program.cs for an example.
It is possible to register for the Changed event of a game object:
var gameStateReader = new GameStateReader(stream); // get stream from network or file
gameStateReader.NextState(); // read first state
var playerPosition = (GameObject) gameStateReader.GameState.Map.World.Player;
playerPosition.Changed += PlayerPosition_Changed; // register for Changed event
while (gameStateReader.NextState()) // event are raised before NextState returns
{
// do nothing
}
// ...
private static void PlayerPosition_Changed(object sender, GameObjectChangedEvent e)
{
foreach (var changedChild in e.ChangedChildren)
{
Console.WriteLine("position changed: " + changedChild.ToString(true));
}
}Prints:
...
position changed: [32827: Map::World::Player::Rotation] = 89,26334
position changed: [32826: Map::World::Player::Y] = -47776,65
...
To record data that can be used with the StreamProvider::ReadFile method, execute via command line:
> PipBoyDump.exe -c 192.168.0.5 -r raw.dump
Objects can be dumped on the fly:
> PipBoyDump.exe -c 192.168.0.5 -r raw.dump -g objects.txt
Objects can also be created from file:
> PipBoyDump.exe -f raw.dump -g objects.txt
-c, --connect Host to connect to.
-p, --port (Default: 27000) Port to connect to.
-f, --file Input file (instead of ip/port).
-r, --raw File to write raw data received via network.
-g, --gameobjects File to write the structured game objects.
