Third-party app rules question

[falkun]

The map feature has been disabled on P99. I know people parse the /log files for DPS for bosses and such, but I'd be careful about what you grab from the client.

As outlined, nothing is taken from the client, only from the log file.

I'm aware the map feature is disabled, however maps with grid coordinates are provided by the wiki and accessible elsewhere. Simply automating the process of taking a /loc, as indicated from the log file, and pinning it to the map, would be an interim goal.

However, this particular goal itself I don't think is relevant - the question is more, can i make use of the log file as I see fit, in an automated fashion, so long as I'm not causing key-presses to the client from a third party app. This app would run passively, presumably on a second monitor or in a separate window.

Programs that parse the log file are fine, as long as they do not do any type of automatic control/response/manipulation/macro on your character in place of manual control.

Thanks for the quick response. Now I've got a project for meditation time!
