Interstellar R2 Telemetry System

The R2 Telemetry System records player driven events inside a Titanfall 2 multiplayer match.

It is an extension of the R2 Northstar Client and currently uses a forked version of it.

Current features

The system records most of the player / npc events during a match. These are the following features which are currently implemented into the system.

Heatmaps

There are a lot of ways data can be represented on a heatmap. The current screenshot show the map Angle City and the routs the players have taken. The lighter the color the more often a player has traveled through there.

Live Minimap

While playing there is a small minimap on the top left of the screen. But it only shows you a limited amount of infos. This minimap is displayed inside the web-browser and show the entire map, all the players, the npc's and their types.

Development

The R2 Telemetry System consists of different components:

1. Forked NorthstarLauncher (Named pipe client and modified Squirrel VM)
2. Interstellar.Telemetry (Telemetry data aggregation inside the game engine. Built with Squirrel)
3. C#NamedPipeServer (Named Pipe Server is the middle man between Titanfall and the backend. Built with C#)
4. DataEndpoint (Receives data from client forms the necessary computation and stores the data. Built with Java)
5. DataFrontend (The visualization. Built with react js)
