You don't need to alt-tab, what you are supposed to do is to bind the commands to certain keys for mining.
Under Settings > Hotkeys are the following commands, and what they do when bound:
"Found Deposit" - When you find a deposit, you right click the deed and change the deed to be on the screen with the coords, size of the claim, type, etc (middle button of the deed) and then you click this button. You will hear two beeps "boop-bop" means it was done correctly and is now in the database, "boop-boop" means it was unable to read the deed and to try again (in this case, press P and then try it again - sometimes it just has to have a comparison to read I think)
"Bomb/Drill Drop" - When you drop a bomb or a drill, you're supposed to press P and then this key. It then reads the coords you dropped a bomb/drill at, so you can keep track of where you've been mining, as well as how many claims were within radius of the tool you were using. (uses the same sounds as 'Found Deposit' does, so you'll know if it didn't work)
"Skills" - This one is easy. Press K and go through each page of your skills, pressing this each time. It will save the info to the Skill Log page. You can also use this on the Professions pages (the one with the progress bars) and it's surprisingly accurate in tracking your current Profession amount (down to the decimal).
(uses the same sounds as 'Found Deposit' does, so you'll know if it didn't work)
"Parse & Upload" - This I think auto-uploads the details from claim deeds to a site online for comparison... all I had to know was it put my own claim deeds on the net, and I didn't want that! lol
If you have any other questions, lemme know. I've pretty much figured out all of the basic things in how to use this, and Squee helped me figure out how to do one final thing that helps me see the claims that much better on the map

Seems like a nice tool and all, but I don't understand how it is supposed to do all those things in-game when I simply have to alt-tab to update the images to make it work at all. And frankly, I have read through the help section in your site, and still don't quite get how it is supposed to work, seems pretty confuse to me. Maybe it would be a good idea to have someone who isn't the developer of the program himself to write a helping guide to avoid using sentences and terms in the explanations we are trying to get explanations of in the first place.
Would be so much better if the tool could be really handled in-game, pretty much like PE-Ass. I mean, just having a screenshot function doesn't make it an "in-game tool" as stated by far.
(P.S.: I am feeling kinda grumpy while writing this, so please don't mind if I sound rude in any way. I'll be a bit more positive after I get some sleep) |
