Which API ?

the YourDDO API... which most of us are certain is dead and buried or the Login Server API which most of us are not aware of and the few that are aware of do not know how to tickle to give us informations like the number of people logged in and the number of anons

You know playaudit is not affiliated with SSG, right? If the source data is bad the data on their own API ain't gonna be any more accurate than whats on their regular web page.

I totally agree, but it shouldn't be too difficult to verify should it? playeraudit exposes all of its data through its own API. I just wanted to test their claim that they are counting anons, and as far as I can tell, they are.

Hey wait, so aside from the silver/holy DR required to hit Harry, what other bosses needed a DR-breaker? I don't recall any other raids either calling for one.

A' course, I was playing an artificer back then... I got into the game maybe a year pre-MOTU.

You know in like 12 years of playing the game, I have never ran ADQ? ...I should probably fix that.

So I must not have done LoB until cap was much higher as I don't recall having needed DR on him. But thats probably because by then we were beating him down so fast it didn't matter. eChrono I don't remember either but I really only recall running it on my wizard(I'm positive my artificer did it but I probably had GS with good by then).

Though that still doesn't tell us where they pull the information from...

Well what... playeraudit has a plugin that runs along with DDO. I would expect there are essentially two ways how to get data from that:
1) from tracking the client-server communication (probably should be encrypted?)
2) from ddo client's memory (winner?)

Now, chances are that SSG is doing stupid stuff like
1) server sends info about all players to client
2) client filters out anonymous characters to hide them from view

By stepping in and reading the list before the filter, you can get info about anons.


Also, the plugin is able to read character sheet... and they are working on inventory and banks. Well, the character sheet is "just" a matter of finding the right spots in the memory to read from. The inventory OTOH is probably quite more complex, because you have to understand how various items are stored in the inventory. For named items, you need to have the full database of items to match some item ID to the name. Plus there's stuff like mythic, reaper, augment, item damage, btcoe already equipped, etc.


The current functionality of reading the character sheet is okay I guess.. if you have some guildies or friends that you want to share stuff with.

Now inventories and banks export, that would be a big hit.

Here is the service they are working on: https://myddo.vaultofkundarak.com/

AFAIK playeraudit was one guy's solo project, while VoK is a team of people. The first time I saw VoK mentioned on playeraudit was after the release of the LFM viewer, so that might have been a collaboration effort
