Skill Scanner

sledgehammer said:
It appears MA has "fixed" the fonts to their own satisfaction, and the scanner still does not work, so I am guessing that portion of the change is permanent.

Morons work for MA who have no idea why we even play.

Why DO we play exactly? More expensive than a casino.

Also.. The only thing that is constant is change. Look forward to the fix on this utility and perhaps we could in the future expand his premium service.
 
You know this crap is getting old, the ESC key no longer works except to exit the game. Per instructions to get out of the chat window hit ESC. Mobs no longer disappear after looting but the dead ones do not show up on radar. The fonts have changed to make JD's life miserable. There is no repeat in the chat window, like if you want to erase a line you have to hit the backspace 50 times. I still have not got the candy reward(no big deal) but I get the message every time I login and then the error message and that is a pain in the butt.

I would like someone from MA to ring in on this and tell us what the hell is going on!!!!
 
This is all nothing new :)
 
It's a miracle MA fixed the ESC key. I wonder if the boob that "Fixed it" still has a job:).

Hate to ask being so much into game and what not..but I keep on hearing about this ESC error and that MA fixed it? OK, what was wrong with it anyway?:eyecrazy:

Before the fixed the only thing you could use it for was to exit the game. You could not use it to close an open window like the loot window nor could you use to get out of the chat window, you had to click outside the chat window to exit.
 
Does the scanner still work? It does not detect the correct values, and the font in game now looks different!

EDIT: seen the above posts! sorry!

MA, are the font changes permanent? Also Jdegre, thank you so much for your time and effort on fixing this tool, it's been one of my favorite.

As long as I remember, the problem with stuck (chat) windows, that made esc necessary to close chat windows, came with VU10. I can't recall the stuck chat window problem in vu9.

(Stuck chat window: When you, somehow, end up having opened a window in "aim" mode, then you can't close the chat window or set focus on "game" or another chat window with mouse because when you move mouse you'll just look around. And the space bar button, that's normally used to switch between, gives of course a space in the chat window - mouse cursor is still trapped.)

I found, during the broken esc key extravaganza, that TAB worked to get out of stuck PM boxes

Ah nice! Thanks for the hint, I'll try it next time!

(It solves another problem, the fact that you lose the chat window itself when you close it just because it got you stuck)

The V0.50 scanner version says it's expired... this gives hope as there might be a new version in the works.

I really hope I can do the end-of-year skillcount bookkeeping for the soc automated so gogogo jdegre!

If you need screenshots, peds or whatever to finish the V0.51 that handles the new fonts, let us know please.

He is working on a update :) I sent a load of screenshots on request a few days ago as it was needed for testing the new version.
 
I've been through the same experience, I had to waste time and effort on fixing my program just because MA decided that the fonts were "evil" and they had to be changed. I's really annoying and frustrating.

I don't know how your algorithm works, but in my case I noticed that the font changing made the text go 1 pixel up (that one :censored: pixel drove me crazy for a while) anyways, I hope that helps.

Good luck, keep up the good work :thumbup:
 
We are greatly appreciative of the work you do in the face of faulty, menacing, and outright bad programming on the part of MA, jdegre. Anything I, or BA can do, let us know.

yeah, i'm working on it, and it is getting quite ready to a release of v0.51, but not yet. i removed from the server v0.50, since it does not work at all, so it's pointless to have it there.

as minim says, i have already asked several people for screenshots, but the more i can get, the better; so, feel free to send me screenshots (in PNG format) of your skill windows (as usual, to jdegre@gmail.com). send as many or as few as you want.

also, as a heads up, and to compensate for the delay in the new release, v0.51 includes a new feature (which i personally found quite convenient): "auto scan". i found kind of annoying to have to hit (Alt+)PrntScrn at the keyboard, and then switch to the mouse and click "next page", and repeat that cycle 20 times (or more); so now it will be possible to let the scanner go on in auto mode, and keep scanning, while you simply browse through pages, without having to hit PrntScrn at all. let's see if people find it as useful, or as convenient, as i do :p

Everybody will have to love that. I know I will.

And yes to the donations, I did it in 2008 and it was some of the best ped I spent and it is well worth it.
Thanks JD for this tool.
 
I was hoping to use the scanner to compliment my logs for my first Merry Mayhem. Why the heck did MA mess with something that's critical for tracking your results right before MM? Thanks for the great program!

I should probably donate again... it's been along time.... but well worth it! Unfortunatly PayPal closed my account due to inactivity since that was the only time I've used it. :laugh:

Be sure to just print all screens when done with MM so when the new version of the scanner is release you can use those images first.

Hu! Darn good idea! I guess I should have thought of that before I got the 1st 12 rounds done, but better late than never. :laugh: Thanks

any progress?

yes, v0.51 is almost done. actually, the coding was ready in a matter of 2-3 days after the VU, but I wanted to test it with a similar set of screenshots as with previous versions.

usually, i have tested every new release with around 20-25 people, which means around 500 screenshots. this time, i have got sample screens from 5 people (!!). this means that, if i release the new version with so few tests, i will get _thousands_ of messages from people saying "it did not scan this or that skill value correctly", and i'd rather avoid that :p

so, if you guys want to speed up the release, please send screenshots of your skill windows (in PNG format) to jdegre@gmail.com. thanks :)
 
I will send screenshots soon...
