Hook FFXIV I/O to send commands without going through the user UI

[toz]

Hello.
Do you have plans to add a send chat feature?
because I want to make a utility such as DBM.
I can analyze boss pattern from the chat log, but I can't notifying to party.
I want to tell the situation(ex: boss skill timer) to the party.
sorry for poor english :(

Sorry I do not exactly understand, do you mean like OnEvent?

E.g.
Twintania uses Death Sentence -> Send "/p Death Sentence used"

no, I mean send text to party chat.

SendKeyInput sk = SendKeyInput.GetInstance();
while(true)
{

sk.SendReturnKey();
sk.ConvertTextToInput("/echo test message");
sk.SendReturnKey();
Thread.Sleep(3000);

}

This code works very well if I don't control my character.
However, Problem occurs when I control my character.
so I don't want to interrupt my keyboard input when send message to party chat. This is what I mean.

I understand what you mean. We need to hook into XIV IO functions for that and I haven't had much success yet. This is definitly a must have feature I am trying to include but I have absolutely no ETA for that.

I have renamed the issue. I'll keep you posted on it.
