Default Re: How does the game get info on sites (where are the sites coded/listed in-game)?

but that are only the names do you know where to find the information what they do too ?
There are member created lists and spreadhsheets showing all the sites and what they do. Will that work or are you really interested in where the GAME gets the information.

The compiled game keeps such info in formats which are very hard to get to. Only "strings" such as the names or text descriptions can be easily extracted. Though I prefer the linux strings command to a hex editor view. Its easier to redirect the results to a text file.
