import data from running game - possible?

[ewanchapman]

Hi there,


I have built some multistage supply chain, and (public) transport optimization models, that I would like to test and possibly run parallel to the game, for design & optimization purposes. For that reason, I would like to get access to the game data, such as:

- production: types, location, output (primary and secondary)
- goods: prices (per distance)
- vehicles: costs, capacities, specs
- cities: offer (passengers/mail), growth rates

I'd like to test several scenarios: maximize growth of cities, maximize profits, on the YETI NewGRF scenario. Is it possible to get this data? Many thanks fgor your answers!


Best regards,

I don't know will it help or not, but you may save your game as .scn and edit it as scenario.
Gurus here said that there is even console in the game! Maybe on old 1998-year webpages still saved commands for it.
And, of course, you can use memory scanners.
Sorry for offtop, i'm old newbie.

Simplest is to hack the game, and add statements that output the information that you want. At the other side, you read this data, and do your computations.
