at 4k Rifle, im sure i cant get SIB on the m1a....

Could we get it to show Not Anymore?

It is possible yes, but I am still trying to find out how the SIB system works. I need to know:

From what level does the SIB start.
From what level can you use the item at all.
Untill what level does the SIB run.

I made a thread about it here

Seems a very nice addition Witte.
I'll deifinitely have a look at it later today or this weekend (don't have my skills handy).

One related issue:
As you probabably know I am working on EU Companion. This one produces PE Stats compatible .dat files that can be uploaded.

One of the issues on my todo list is to see if I can also ocr the professions pages. It would be nice if we could define a mechanism to upload these data directly to pe-wiki. However, it might not be possible to update the dat file with this information without changing the pe-stats displayer.

So my questions:
Would you be interested in having an upload facility and what do you propose for data format.

Best regards, Dutchie.

PS, off-topic: ocr-ing the professions pages is substantially more difficult than scanning the skills pages due to the following issues:
- semi transparent background
- the professions panel can be moved around whereas skills have fixed positions
- the colors of the bar change (and maybe also of the professions and the value, don't recall that and I am not near a running EU).

So scanning this is a little bit more complicated (although doable).

Yes it would be a nice addition. The dataformat doesnt realy matter to me, it would be nice though if the file contains a date and time.

Some suggestions (how i would do it):

When you open the panel, its always in the same position, so you can simply have that as condition to use the tool. From there on, the bars will also be on a fixed place, so easy to locate and isolate. You can make it work by comparing the color of the 1st pixel with the 3rd, and the 2nd with the 4th and so on. This way you wont be bothered by the background and the colorvariations (only problem arises when there is no bar at all). For the texts you can simply filter out everything but white.

PM sent for this. date + time is no problem.

The same position thing worries me a little bit. If you move it, close, then open, I'm not too sure if it ends up at the same place. Also when scanning in windowed mode the position is not fixed. In EU Companion 1.2 (due in a few weeks) I've solved this for the skill pages.
More investigation needed.

Finding the standings and parsing the data is definitely doable, but it might be that I only do this for bitmaps my program has grabbed. I had too much problems with skill scanning due to jpegs with a lot of compression on it (making characters garbled etc).
