I would like to read the economy.xml file and get the greatDemands into a lua script.

I want to display some values in the pda. I have the pda part working but I need a reference to the current game.
Also is there a way to write scripts without having to restart the game on every edit?


Thank you

XML Files are only updated (saved) when the game saves.. So i don't know if the XML File is really what you are after.. But in case, just loadXMLFile and one of the getXML... functions work fine for reading any kind of Data out of any kind of XML File..

Hi,

currently there's no possibility to reload the scripts while playing. So a restart is necessary.

The great demands can directly access via lua:
g_currentMission.economyManager.greatDemands (table)
