I wrote a program in the Java language to auto capture screenshots of hofs and globals.

As this is written in Java you will need to have the jre(java runtime enviroment) on your computer. Many people will have this installed anyway.
For the non computer savvy I have wrapped it in a windows executable that will prompt you to install the jre or update it if you have an older version when you click on euscreen.exe.
As this uses the chat.log file it will most likely notrun alongside of the tracker utilities.
EUScreen itself will not change your registry or attempt to communicate with the internet.
How to run it:
The first time you run it:
You will only have to do this the first time you run the program.
EUScreen will save your screenies into a folder named by date and in the image format you choose named by date and time inside the folder you chose.
You will need to make sure your full avatar name (case sensitive) is entered properly.
Delay time in milliseconds is the delay from when your avatar name appears in the chat.log to when the screenshot is triggered. I found 600mS was perfect for the old autoscreen app but you will need to tweak this. 200mS is a more likely setting for this app.
Loop time is how often chat.log is read. You will only need to change this if you feel it is slowing down your computer. I noticed no performance drop when running it.
Last notes. Due to limitations with the Java language EUScreen detects clipboard activity to capture manual screenies(Printscreen key) so if you leave it running outside of EU you will find yourself taking screens of your desktop if you try to copy/paste things
This will delete your chat.log and save it as mainChat.log. It should also save your many globals/hofs into a file called myLog.log. These will will saved in the same folder your original chat.log was in.
Please feel free to try this and leave any feedback or questions.
oop. You will need to have chat logging enabled in game for this to work.

How to run it:
- Download euscreen.zip and unzip it to the location of your choice.
- Open the folder and double click euscreen.exe
- You will be prompted to install or update the jre
- Just follow the prompts. It only takes a minute.
The first time you run it:
- Browse to the location of chat.log and select it.
- Choose a folder to save screenshots in.
- Enter your avatar name(case sensitive)
