Need information on gathering housing data
|
I would like to create a small script to compare housing coords. It wont be a decal program, just something I do outside of the game. thing is I need to know ALL the houses available, not just the top 400 or so cottages. Is there anyway to dump out all available cottages at any given time to a text file or to the screen which I could log?
thanks in advance

Nope, can't be done. The only way of getting housing information is via the /hslist command, and it won't report more than 400.

hmm... interesting... then if i go to difference parts of dereth will it only report the top 400 close to me? IE if I do the command multiple times around multiple areas of Dereth do you think that i might be able to get a complete list?
Also when you say can't be done, if I knew how to, could i code a decal app to directly query the backend db?

I doubt the db server for housing is accessible, BUT one of the fansite might already have such a listing from before they limited the housing available CMD. Try some google-fu and see what you get. Such a list would at least get you teh locations of it, just not necessarily what open NOW.

I got ya Maglett but that wont help me much. I was hoping just to be able to list all houses available today, then do it again in a week and see what had changed. I could see how many cottages were no longer available, and how many have come available with a simple unix type diff against the output. So with a limit i would never know if it was new or jsut never before reported.

You could always write a decal plugin to keep track of every unsold house it sees, and then visit every settlement!

I was going to do that, but after visiting a few settlements I gave up and decided I didn't really care anyway :\

is there a way to get the coords/owner of your house through decal? That was going to be my first plugin.. something our allegiance could run, that would track their house location, so when they take a break, others can go see where their house is, so they can pay the maintenance.

Well you can get housing information with the house owner and non-owner but you probably have to be standing next to it to have it select? But then again there is the locator plugin I hear about that DT uses so it might be possible to get all the location IDs for all housing and have an update command to search through them all for ownership. I am not sure how locator works though nor do I use it.

GoArrow does that to keep track of your house recall coordinates. It watches for the "House Information for Owners" server event.
(The house recall info starts on line 277)
http://code.google.com/p/goarrow/source/browse/trunk/GoArrow/PluginCore.cs#240
You can see how it computes the coordinates from the landblock and x/y offset here:
http://code.google.com/p/goarrow/source/browse/trunk/GoArrow/Coordinates.cs#43
If you want information about when the rent is due you can get e.Message.Value<int>("maintenanceDate"), which I think is in Unix time (but you'd have to check to be sure).

Gameevent 0x0225 or 0x0226 is sent at login, telling you where your house is, what type it is, etc.

If Yaroz you wanted to do that though it would almost have each user load the data to a web site simular to acstats then your plugin could download the data and you would know where everyone in your allegiance house is at. Not sure how else you could share that data.
Is this a topic I should have asked in the decal forums or is this ok for this forum?
