Arceheology

[Vid]

Does anyone know how to read the coords of the zones/area where you use archaeology. For example the addon archy sends those coords to the addon tomtom, what shows you the direction and distance to that place. So it must be possible to get a list of coords of all archy possible zones
I need a hint what i need to look for
Thank you
ps: can a mod change the title in archaeology

You have the Archy addon source... why not take a look at it?

And it's archaeology.

to get all digsites you must read all records from ResearchSite_dbc (and related tables).

there is my working code (for example), that read a countours of active digsites.

def get_active_digsites_pois():
    player = GetUnitByKeyword("player")
    sites = player.getArcheologySites()

    cur_continent_id = GetMapID()

    need_poi = []
    for site_id in sites:
        rec = ResearchSite_dbc.getRecord(site_id)
        if rec:
            rec_site_id, continent_id, poi_id, name, icon_id = rec
            assert rec_site_id == site_id
            if continent_id == cur_continent_id:
                print "research site:", site_id, continent_id, poi_id, name, icon_id
                need_poi.append(poi_id)

    return need_poi


all_questpoi = {}

def get_digsite_contours(need_poi):
    global all_questpoi

    if not all_questpoi:
        for i in range(QuestPOIPoint_dbc.hdr.minIndex, QuestPOIPoint_dbc.hdr.maxIndex):
            rec = QuestPOIPoint_dbc.getRecord(i)
            if rec:
                point_id, x, y, poi_id = rec

                if poi_id not in all_questpoi:
                    all_questpoi[poi_id] = []

                all_questpoi[poi_id].append((x, y))


    contours = []

    for poi_id in need_poi:
        if poi_id not in all_questpoi:
            continue

        points = all_questpoi[poi_id]
        contours.append(list(points))

    #print need_poi, contours
    return contours


def get_active_digsites():
    res = []
    for contour in get_digsite_contours(get_active_digsites_pois()):
        res.append(Polygon.Polygon(contour))
    return res
