I don't know python, but it should be fairly easy, just write something that can parse the Dashboard packets
protocol documentation here: http://firstforge.wpi.edu/sf/wiki/do...i/ZomBProtocol under Native Source - DBPkt

basically (there are a few escape characters), listen on UDP port 1165, extract the ZomB Data from it (ex. @@ZomB:|name=value|name2=value2|:ZomB@@), and make it give a control its associated value (ex. give control 'name' the value 'value' and control 'name2' the value 'value2')

If you find any typos, please tell me

EDIT: and it wouldn't be a hack, it would be an alternate implementation
