Freelancer Trader's Help - Ruud - 08-04-2014
Bonjour, Gutentag, Hello, Hola, Konnichi wa,
Reading this message there is a chance you are familiar with "Freelancer Companinion" (FC). If not, then this could still be interesting for you.
FC is a tool that makes it easier to trade goods. But it had IMHO some shortcomings. For example, having found some loot, FC wasn't able to tell me where to find the best place in a system or house to sell it.
I first contacted Wiz0u but he never answered requests on his site, nor emails. So I decided to write my own program. Too make a long story short, I created a program I called "Freelancer Trader's Help" (FTH).
You can read all the details on my site and download it there as well: http://www.baltissen.org/newhtm/fth.htm
For programmers:
FTH is written in Lazarus / Free Pascal. Lazarus is the open source version of Delphi. The source of FTH is open source. You can obtain it by emailing me using the email found at my website.
I extracted the data from reading the INI files. But the names, and AFAIK the prices of ores, must be extracted from the DLL files. And at this moment I have no idea how to do that. Any info, especially lines of code, is welcome!
Have fun!
