Warcraft 3 process to send/receive external data.

[paulo101977]

Is there any way to use some process to send/receive data during a warcraft 3 match against the computer? I'm thinking about using deep learning to create an AI that plays Meele games. But without a communication process, just using what the AI sees on the screen in real time, it would be too complicated and perhaps not ideal.

Thanks in advance.

The best I have heard of was to use the Preloader exploit that can record text strings from the map triggers and dump them into a text file.

Another option would be if you used an older version of the game with one of those reverse-engineered APIs to access any part of the game code that you wanted, maybe, although I have not personally used those much.

First, thank you very much!!! I think the Preloader solution, if it's a one-way solution (I can only receivegame data and not send) wouldn't suit me as I have to make the AI play the game after learning. The second, reverse-engineered, I don't know, but I also confess that it would partially serve me because in new versions of the game I couldn't use it (like reforged). But, going back to this solution: how do I find it and some documentation about it?

This may move you n the correct direction:

[vJASS] - FileIO

With Patch 1.30 removing the "Allow Local Files" requirement for reading files, I decided to write a FileIO library designed around the latest patches. This is lightweight compared to other implementations as it does not require setting the player's name over and over again until you are...

I would search for preload or preload() in the various programming and code resource subforums here to see what you dig up that's more recent than like 2018.

Thanks!!!! I will search and see what I can find.

EDITED:
I will also ask in other related threads if communication via process is possible.
