More Analysis and Debug Tools #92

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I started using revision 491 today. It had a few bugs in it but there was 
this debug window that comes on when the proxy starts now. To me it seems 
that it's something that is normally disabled that I just happened to see. 
I think it totally rocked though. I was able to see what known and unknown 
packets were being passed around. It occured to me that it would be really 
nice to have several similar tools that we can use to help us use TibiaAPI 
to make our programs. Such as identifying which events are being raised. 
Determining what packets the server is sending vrs what the client is 
sending. A really cool one would be to get object information in tibia. 
I'm sure there are some good ones you guys can think of too. If its very 
well designed it could be used to help update TibiaAPI in future updates 
and I believe improve the popularity of TibiaAPI in the Tibia programming 
community. 

Thanks, 
Jared

Sorry about leaving that flag on, it is off as of r492. I am wondering though, 
should
we instead have it as an explicit option, instead of compile time?

Glad you liked it though, I haven't got a chance to try it out, though it sounds
pretty darn cool. I think we can definitely work on having more analysis and 
debug
tools, as that is a common thread for people who use the API, especially 
TibiaAPI
developers!

Just so you know, SmartPacketAnalyzer does have a great packet capturing and
filtering tool, and it also appends the item number of anything you look at.

I like the idea of it as an explicit option. I'd like to just add in an option 
while 
I'm debugging to see what I think I've coded vrs. what tibiaAPI says I've 
coded. It 
makes understanding how TibiaAPI works that much easier.

This request is almost a year old and I don't see any progress toward this, but 
once
again I'll leave it open to Ian since he accepted it. :P

These things would be better designed as apps using TibiaAPI; if someone makes 
such
an tool it can certainly be included in the apps section of the repository. 
But, it
should not go in the main branch.
