Not to my knowledge.  Arcanum Illyria has a namespace just for 3rd-party tools of any kind (sites, scripts, etc.), but I'm the only person that uses it so far.  Eaque (author of illytools) has expressed interest but hasn't started anything yet.

If people do start using it, categorization and listing pages will follow.

There might be a javascript variable called: maxStorage which contains that value for the current town focused - but you will have to cache this as it you can only have on town focused at once and it changes when you change towns.

Please note I'm not advocating the use of this variable or assuring its continued presence; but it may be what you are looking for for now.

Can I clarify - Can a user-initiated action retrieve data that isn't visible on the current page or cached but is available to the user from another screen?

eg...

User decides to send Resources from UserTown1 to UserTown2

Is a script allowed to retrieve the current resource level for the target town to warn if your delivery will over-fill (taking into account harvesting rates/travel time). I will most likely have the resource data cached (or can force it) but retrieving the max resource limit requires going to the resource summary (as far as I know). Do I have to force the user to browse there for each town or can I just get the data when prompted (and cache it of course!)

In this case, although it's riding on the back of a user action, it also potentially requires 1-2 additional requests to the server

First of all I wanted to say thanks to the devs for providing the town data in xml format. Highly appreciated Smile

It might be interesting to propose the downloads also in compressed format to save bandwidth.

That makes sense HM... Conflict of interest

And also, we don't work with the same backend technology... I'm specialized in Php, when Illy runs on ASP

Players can't be devs, or I might have been one myself. Wink

3rd party development lets players get involved and push independent agendas (i.e. better interface usability, information management, etc.).
