my latest project that's keeping my entertained is:
taking a .net .dll that's wrote for c#
and having the .dll load and use functions from the .dll in python code
when I run my code it returns a memory location
messing with this for a few days
my code doesn't attach to a ffxi instance and I think this is one of the problems
I'm starting out simple and trying to get the current vana time to show
btw this is just getting deeper in the ffxi program building process
my current python can interact with the ffxi window
but I would love to learn how to do more intricate things like read the chatlog or tell the time
right now my code looks something like this
load dll
define function
show result from function
and the result is something like <function vanatime 0x00024b721>
google ai tells me it's telling me the location of where the time is
but the code is wrote wrong since it isn't telling the time
I believe I need to attach to an instant first
then run my code
but even then I have no idea if it'll work
hard to find good help for something like this
google keeps saying it is possible to write python code that uses a .net dll designed for c#
I've thought about learning c# and done a little tinkering but I still find it very confusing
definitely not as user friendly as python
recently formatted my external ssd and did a factory reset to my laptop
I was having memory issues
just reinstalled ffxi it was going to take 2 hours to update on wifi then it failed and it only took 20 mins to update on ethernet
