To forward this data it also opens a websocket in wich all the data get's send if somebody is connected to it. Now the program is able to get the data out of the game. Now I had to get the data that gets printed by the PZTrackerMod out of the cmd, so I wrote a program in golang that starts PZ as a child process and reads and parses the stdout (the text stuff you see in the cmd). If disabled the map won't follow the position of your player.Īrrow Keys - Move the map up, down, left, right for easy navigation.

So the PZTrackerMod is just a typical mod written in lua (never worked with lua before, but was easy enough to get everything working in a few minutes) that prints out important information, like player position and keypress events to the PZ cmd.Ĭurrently the PZTrackerMod has the following Shortcuts:į - Enables or Disables follow mode. I had to get the information out of the game. And so PZTracker currently consists of 3 'components'. At first I thought about memory reading, but I dropped that idea when modding PZ came to my mind.

I had to get information out of PZ and into the map website. I was faced with the problem of connecting two separated systems that had no connection whatsoever. You really just need to press buttons ingame. The map will follow your player position if you like and you can move around (arrow keys) or zoom in and out (num+ and num-) on the map by pressing the keys WITHIN PZ. PZTracker connects the online map to the game. Finding the position of your player was also a bit annoying, so one night I sat down and started programming and PZTracker was the result. One thing that annoyed me was that even in borderless window mode I had to click out of PZ to move the map to see everything I wanted. Recently I'm playing PZ extensively with my Girlfriend and because I have 3 monitor's I always have the map ( ) open on one of the other monitor's.
