Pocket Relay - Data Collection Plugin

This plugin is a tool for collecting data while playing on the official servers in order to create parity or debug issues with Pocket Relay. If you are looking to play on a Pocket Relay server check out the guide here: https://pocket-relay.pages.dev/docs/client/joining

Important

When using this plugin ensure that you don't have any existing Pocket Relay clients running and don't have any other Pocket Relay plugins (As they will conflict with each other)

This plugin hooks into the game networking routing the traffic through this plugin decoding and logging the packets the game sends to a local file in your Documents folder named "pocket-relay-dump.log". These logs will usually be requested from you by me (The Pocket Relay developer, when trying to fix bugs that only happen on one server but not the other)

Warning

Do NOT share your log file with anyone you don't trust. Your log file contains personal information such as your email address and an access token. Its recommended that you don't share this file anywhere publicly

Installing

To install this plugin you can follow the plugin client guide as the steps are similar. But instead of using the client plugin .asi file you can use the release provided on this repository https://pocket-relay.pages.dev/docs/client/plugin-client. You can download the latest release Here

You can ignore step "4) Connecting" as the data collection plugin doesn't have a UI since its directly connecting you to the official servers as a middle-man the relevant steps for using this are steps 1 and 3.

Compiling

To compile this from source you will need Rust & Cargo with the i686-pc-windows-msvc target triple installed (ME3 is a 32bit executable so we must all use a 32bit build target) if you have rustup installed you can install this with rustup target add i686-pc-windows-msvc

To build run the following command:

cargo build --release

This will build a release version to target/i686-pc-windows-msvc/release/pocket_relay_dump.dll you will want to rename this file changing the .dll extension to .asi then you can use it as mentioned above in the installation guide
