Hello,
There is a hobby project that I'd like to undertake and I need to some data from KSP that, based on my research, is only available whilst the game is running. I've spent about 3 days exploring various techniques of getting at the data (including trying to do it from my language of choice, GoLang) and after accepting defeat due to a lack of understanding of hooking into a DLL from Golang, finally settled on just writing a plugin, even though I believe it is probably overkill due to i think it being a one time thing.
What I need is to serialize the `FlightGlobals.Bodies` list to JSON but also include the attributes from each of the Bodies PQSControllers. I want to generate Google Maps esq Maps of Kerbin, like what the https://github.com/Sigma88/Sigma-Cartographer Mod does but outside of the game.
I'm struggling getting a JSON Serializer to work, and about to pull the very little amount of hair I have on my middle aged head out. Can somebody assist me? Below is a HelloWorld script that I've been trying to do this in.
I want to wrap this up with I am not a C# Dev and I'm struggling to understand your ecosystem. So i apologize if I did something stupid already
Code:
using System.IO;
using UnityEngine;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
namespace HelloKSC
{
[KSPAddon(KSPAddon.Startup.MainMenu, false)]
public class HelloKerbal : MonoBehaviour
{
public void Start()
{
FlightGlobals.Bodies.ForEach(delegate (CelestialBody body) {
string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(body);
File.WriteAllText(@"C:\Users\<sanitized>\kerbinexcrements\" + body.name + ".txt", json);
});
}
}
}
