Event Notification

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I am contemplating an event notification application that will operate 
on an Android device and wanted to ensure an applicaiton of this sort 
would not break any rules.

The application will "track" personal queues and alert the user when a 
queue is empty (or full, in case of resources). The user will be unable 
to make any ingame actions with this interface. The data will be 
retrieved from Illyriad via a manual "Update" button. The data tracked 
will be: Building queues, research queues, res amounts, incoming 
hostiles, outgoing movements, and production queues. The "Update" button
 would simply gather the completion times of these and the application 
would take care of event notification.

CCP has an interface that allows users to enter a hashkey and pull down 
personal data similar to above. This would be the best solution for my 
application. If a similar interface is not available, I would be 
required to log into Illyriad from my external application and 
automatically pull down the html pages for this data.

Does this idea break any rules/regulations?

	Matiez, Are you still working on this? I had a similar idea and would be willing to assist writing code and test. After reading what forum posts exist on 3rd party apps, I believe as long as you simply retrieve information and don't actually post any actions, such an app would not be sanctioned. -Muykul
