Q:

For the Overwolf app challenge, are we allowed to access and read from specific memory addresses to obtain information not covered in the API? For example, accessing the location or other values of the player character. I don’t intend to write to them or use it in a way that would give that player any advantage by using the app, I just want to be able to display some of that information.

A:

No. According to the User Agreement in 8ii, this is forbidden.

It’s only been officially announced that you may read from the Mumble API if you’re able to.

That said, mumble’s API in the game provides the player’s XYZ co-ordinates, camera XYZ position along with the map ID that they’re currently in.
