I would like to know if it is plan to provide tools, development languages (such as LUA) or SDK to player's community.
In fact, I would like to know if there is an other command ingame to export data.
At the moment we can export mail(/savemail ?)and log(/log).
I started developping a tool to extract channel from logs (prose mode not supported) named parserlogswg (use google) but it will be very fun if it would be possible to have data such as template, stuff, datapad, etc etc available for export from the game to our local.
Why? Just for the fun to create database community to save player characters, and other data! Again, why? Just for the fun to develop something fun for our very funny game
Don't mixed SDKk with Cheat! We would like to use data from our character out of the game and NOT to manage from outside the ingame datas
And sorry if it was not the right forum to ask that

probably not for this reason:

sdk's all for to much stuff to fall underthe above terms. Otoh if you mean user tools (not a development kit) then they may feel like doing so but as tools cost money to develop you may have to pay sony for access to said tools .

Actually to clearify...what I think he wants was offered as a free service by Ultima Online. The ability, via a web interface, to view your character sheet. It the case of SWG it would be more advanced and the ability to see your inv, check your mail, etc. This was a free service since all it was doing was connecting to the same Database (SECURELY) and allowing your user account at the website to allow or not allow others to see it.
The chat log tool Idea is super simple creating a program to simply sort the log that is only a text file. AN SDK at this point would be a useless item because an SDK for a software is to modify the software and that I do not see happening.
points at the date on the thread and the fact this is necro posting....
anyway there is a command to dump all in game mail to a text file - character info probably will not be dumped as it would involved development money that I don;t see being spent.
