GW2ML

License Maven Central JavaDoc Java

GW2ML is a Java library for fast and non-cached access to the data provided by the Guild Wars 2 game client via the MumbleLink mechanism.

Just like Guild Wars 2 itself, this library is only compatible with Windows.

Usage

GW2ML provides an API that is designed to be as simple and intuitive to use as possible while remaining efficient. The primary entry-point is MumbleLink.open() which must be used to open a view of the MumbleLink data before anything can be read. Once that is done the data can be accessed through various getter methods on the returned view object.

try (var mumbleLink = MumbleLink.open()) {
    System.out.println(mumbleLink.getName());
}

A sample program that prints all data every few seconds to the command line can be found here. (This is also useful for testing whether your game client is writing any data.)

Building from source

Setup

This project uses Gradle's toolchain support to detect and select the JDKs required to run the build. Please refer to the build scripts to find out which toolchains are requested.

An installed JDK 1.8 (or later) is required to use Gradle.

Building

Once the setup is complete, invoke the respective Gradle tasks using the following command on Unix/macOS:

./gradlew <tasks>

or the following command on Windows:

gradlew <tasks>

Important Gradle tasks to remember are:

  • clean - clean build results
  • build - assemble and test the project
  • publishToMavenLocal - build and install all public artifacts to the local maven repository

Additionally tasks may be used to print a list of all available tasks.
