Great work so far though :).

Load Scene works if you inject it before it gets to the login screen, and reload terrain is there. I'll look at adding some of the others.

Working on it - I got MS Detours compiling from source, just need to set up a virtual machine for Windows 10 and compile against that.

I'm going to work on the Lua integration first, then probably a /galaxyharvester command which will send the currently selected item's stats to GalaxyHarvester, then deal with the Win 10 thing. Or maybe just the Lua integration first.

Unfortunately I have to move this weekend so that means I'll probably be delayed a bit.

If anyone has experience using Visual Studio and is on Win 10 would like to help produce binaries for Windows 10, please let me know, I can help set that up.

n00854180t I hope you doing ok.

I tried your C Runtime version that you linked and I still get that error message. Haven''t really screwed around with it since then.

How do you get reliable data from your chat hook? I can see you're doing this to split the lines at every linebreak;

Code: 
void split(const String& s, Delimiter delim, Vector& v) {
	auto i = 0;
	auto pos = s.find(delim);
	while (pos != String::npos) {
		v.push_back(s.substr(i, pos - i));
		i = ++pos;
		pos = s.find(delim, pos);

		if (pos == String::npos)
			v.push_back(s.substr(i, s.length()));
	}
}
I'm doing the same on my hook, but the last chat message always has garbage appended from the previous buffer (Because it's obviously overwriting the 1001 line memory space), which means I can parse everything reliably, except the newest line until it's pushed up once. I could end up parsing an old pushed command. How did you solve this collision?

I'm not sure if this works for SWG Legends, but I tried it and I'm stuck at the finding SWG Window screen. I ran as admin and changed the "config.json" to "SwgClient_r" in all the directories that it is included in (4 different places).

One thing i don't understand is how to install it in the first place.
You have the "SWGExtensionLoader" and "SWGCommandExtension" as well as "SWGExtensions.zip"
Then you have an updated version with "GalaxyExtender.zip", "Source.zip" and "Source.tar.gz"
Do I overwrite the original files with the updated version?
Even if I decide to not use the updated version, where do I put the files? Do I merge all the files into one folder within my SWG directory or keep them in the folders they extracted to?

RE: SWG Extension Loader & Settings Overrider (Add New Slash Commands!)

I have windows 10 and have done everything you mentioned, including the command line option. Everything seems to be fine until I go to type /console; I get nothing. On the command line option (as admin) I am told that everything loaded etc, but the commands don't work in game. I am using the "Client Upgrade" mod which I believe alters the EXE to allow for higher than 30 FPS. Are you saying this app just doesn't work on Windows 10, or do you think the client mod might be an issue?

Here's what I'm looking at:

[attachment=110]

When I'm in game, none of the commands work, but everything else looks fine.

Did you ever get this working?  Everything seems to be working but the /console command isn't working for me either?

I ran the as Admin script. CMD says SWG Found and DLL Loaded, but nothing appeared in the chatbox, and the /console command is not doing anything.

I'm running Windows 10. Am I missing something?

Hi, I am having issue of running it when logged in - it comes up then it disappears. Using Windows 10, followed all instructions... including running as admin. I have tried compatibility mode too .. same results.

If I start it before the swgclient - the window disappears asI log in ..

so no confirmation in chat/ no commands working / no console ...

What do I need to do ? thanks

Hey guys, sorry I haven't checked this in a while. I haven't played SWG in some months now.

That said, if you guys want to try and compile a new version of the extender to use, check out TheAnswer's Github: https://github.com/TheAnswer/GalaxyExtender

He's got several fixes and new features in there since the last time I looked at it. 

To quickly answer some of the questions I see:

* You need to run it every time you start the game, yes.


* I'm not sure why it doesn't work on some peoples' machines, it likely has to do with the Windows Detour library in some way or other, sadly it's hard to debug this. If you are still having trouble, you can try to compile from the source, as that will best match your own machine.

* All the files should go into the base game directory with the .exe

* It may not work on other servers (SWG Legends) due to differences in the memory addresses between clients used.

I was able to compile from source TA's version of the extender, and n00854180t's injection program, and was able to get them working with the SWGEmu client, with making sure to run the exe as administrator as instructed.

If you guys want I can upload my version (on Windows 10), but can't guarantee it will work on everyone's machine since like he mentioned with the Detour library, I had to install that to compile his dll project.

That being said though, 2 bugs I noticed - using /emu without a sub command and using /emu help without the console opened will crash the client.

Feel free to upload your version Valkyra - I don't have it set up to compile myself right now.

You could also submit the two bugs you mentioned as issues on TA's repo.

Any chance we will ever see support for the Legends client? I'm sure me and a couple other guys from Legends would be willing to donate via Paypal if we can get a compatible version.

I just tested it out  and of course it breaks the SwgClient_r.exe

Edit* Been screwing around with cheat engine to find some memory addresses. I found the two important values for Global Terrain Detail and Terrain High Detail and chaning it works! The rest of the settings can be changed with custom.cfg

Epic! Nice work! You can probably feel free to publish your addresses/config for other Legends players if you want.

@Valkyra - Thanks for posting your version and confirming it works :)

Load Scene works if you inject it before it gets to the login screen, and reload terrain is there. I'll look at adding some of the others.

Anyone know how "reload terrain" is done with this? I see load scene but nothing on reload terrain?
