PgMessenger

Project: Gorgon is a fantasy MMORPG that has already amassed a small playerbase, even though it has yet to leave early access. If you want to keep an eye on the in-game chat even when you aren’t playing, this program may interest you.

PgMessenger is a small utility that grabs the in-game chat from log files and enables you to read it at any time, from any PC. It even gives you the option of viewing your guild’s chat.

The Project: Gorgon game client can save the chat to log files, which can then be uploaded by players to a dedicated server. All users running this application will receive updates from the server, but a few players need to be online across all time zones to ensure the chat is always available.

The three common channels are all captured, namely Global, Trade and Help. A few additional steps are required to view guild chat, as security must be taken into consideration.

Once everything has been set up, you will be able to view the in-game chat in the main window, which can be resized freely. It is possible to increase or decrease the text’s dimensions.

What’s more, you have the option if hiding any of the main channels, as well as preventing spoilers from being displayed.

In order to view the guild chat, you need to enter the name of your character and guild, as well as a password that is only shared between guild members. These additional steps are required in order to prevent other users from reading the private guild chat.

In short, PgMessenger is a useful tool for Project: Gorgon players who wish to keep an eye on what’s being said in chat even when they are not in the game. The fact that the data is grabbed from chat files is certainly a downside, but an official game chat API may be available in the future.
