OpenTTD NewGRF WebRequests [closed]

As part of a university project, I'd like to connect certain events like

• cargo unloaded
• cargo transfered
• money received

with a custom made service / send HTTP Web Requests from within OpenTTD. I'm still rather confused about the languages used to create newgrfs. As far as I understand, for NewGRFs, the language of choice is NML which is a custom built language built ontop of python.

My questions now are

• Is my plan doable?
• Is it possible to use a well-known language to connect to openttd such as C, C++ or Python?

Solution 1:

What you want isn't possible without extensive modification to OpenTTD. NML is a domain-specific language built on top of GRF, not Python. It doesn't have any functionality that the underlying GRF language doesn't, and GRF is designed around the needs of a mid-1990s single-player game.

Your best bet is to add your functionality to OpenTTD itself where you can work in C++, rather than trying to modify a language that was never meant to do anything even remotely like what you want.
