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.
Thank you all.
I was interested in how the *game* gets this information; I am currently correcting those fan-based spreadsheets, since they have many errors or conflicts; however, I thought I would just go to the source.
Now I see that this is not easy. Unfortunately, I know too little about computers to extract that info. Thanks though.
