Title: Separate window for various telemetrics and statistics?
Post by: Xeizzeth on December 28, 2021, 07:06:31 AM
Greetings everyone.
Googled this question everywhere, even tried to create separate unity engine windows, as well as unity editor windows, but never found a working solution.

Is it possible to create a separate window to be put on another monitor for debugging purposes for the mod that is under development, where I can render various debug/telemetrics/statistics info? If yes, I would be much obliged for "hello world" example or for the direction where I can read additional info on the topic.

As an alternative we can think of simple RESTful server, if it is possible to make one inside of the DLC. Currently attempting to create one. If somebody can think of a viable solution, please share.

I will be very thankful for any help provided by you.

You arn't the first with that idea.
So far i know Rimworld itself don't support it.
But unity engine basicly support that.
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/MultiDisplay.html

But that would mean, you need to dig deep into the RW code find out the way how RW display stuff and modify that.
I think that wouldn't be an easy task and need some good knowledge about the unity engine itself.
But people grow with their projects ! :-)

At least you gave me direction. Thank you.

But another question still stands, and if someone can answer it, I would be much obliged. A simple example of RESTful server if one is possible within a DLL.
