I'm trying to use python to create a sort of control bridge between IRC and the Neverwinter Nights game client. One direction (output) is easy; the game, conveniently, writes its logs to a text file - polling and parsing do the rest in that regard.
However, input, as yet, eludes me. I've fooled around with the windows api, but both SendKeys and SendMessage fail to register on the game window. When testing in Notepad, the text and other keypresses appear as planned. They do not, however, in Neverwinter. It's been suggested on some sites I've come across that Win32API calls might not work on games because the games are coded "closer to the metal", as it were, and don't fall under the abstraction of the Win32 shell. Basically, a) can anyone give me a pointer in a direction I should be heading, and/or b) is the Win32api a dead end for this goal? Many thanks in advance. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
