Arcdps BHUD Integration

This is a plugin that uses the Arcdps Combat API and exposes some of the data to Blish HUD.

This fork has been modified to:

Make an effort to parse the events on the server
Return the data as a protobuf object, for easier consumption
Use a static TCP port, which is less secure but a lot easier to work with

Note: I say "make an effort" becuase the structure is somewhat complicated and not well documented. Some of the parsing is guesswork, and some of the values mean different things at different times. I've tried normalizing it and create new properties for the special values, but no guarantee.

If you find a wrong parsing and figure out what it should be, please open an issue or PR.

Installing

Download the binary from the releases page and extract the dll into your bin64 folder.

Reading realtime data

When loaded in GW2 this will open a TCP port at localhost:12112

When it's sending data the first 4 bytes (Little endian encoded!) will be the length of the data, then the rest will be a protobuf encoded Event object. Please look at protobuf/eventdata.proto for details

Python example code

You can find a very basic python client in the examples folder

Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/blish-hud/arcdps-bhud

Build it

You need a somewhat recent rust version. I didn't check the minimum version. arcdps-bhud is built against the latest stable channel.

Install rustc. For example via rustup.
Install cargo. This is not necessary if you used rustup.
Build it:

cargo build --release

Copy it into your bin64 folder of Guild Wars 2:

Copy-Item "C:\Git\arcdps-bhud\target\release\arcdps_bhud.dll" -Destination "A:\Guild Wars 2\bin64"

Start Gw2
