Looking at tiles

daRPC exposes the game’s Look and FarLook requests as typed asynchronous actions. Their result text can reveal the server-provided names of NPCs and ground items without retaining or displaying the response as a native popup.

Look at the tile directly ahead:

POST /clients/Eidolon/look

Look at a tile on the character’s current map:

POST /clients/Eidolon/far-look
Content-Type: application/json

{"position":{"x":40,"y":19}}

FarLook coordinates are zero-based nonnegative integers. They must fit the game’s unsigned 16-bit wire fields and the current map bounds. FarLook cannot select another map.

Both routes return the usual native command status. The command_id correlates the command with a later look.result Server-Sent Events (SSE) frame:

event: look.result
id: 100
data: {"type":"look_result","data":{"observation":{"pid":6864,"instance_id":"...","revision":224,"event_sequence":100,"tick_ms":559274097},"command_id":7,"target":{"kind":"tile","x":40,"y":19},"text":"Light Belt\tLight Belt\tfior sal"}}

observation supplies the usual source, revision, and event-ordering metadata. target includes x and y for both routes. Its kind is ahead for Look and tile for FarLook. The DLL resolves an ahead target from its confirmed position and facing when it submits the native packet. text preserves the server-provided dialog text, including its separators.

The DLL intercepts only a bounded popup response while a typed look command is pending. It publishes the exact text through the normal ordered event path and suppresses that popup before the original client dispatcher runs. It does not open and dismiss the dialog afterward. Unrelated message dialogs and popups continue through the normal client behavior.

The game response contains no request identifier. Only one typed Look or FarLook request may therefore be pending for a client; another request fails with rejected until the first completes, expires, or is cancelled. A result is transient and is not part of the retained client snapshot. Subscribe to GET /clients/{client}/events before submitting the request when the result must not be missed.
