could you please check the gamma setting in EU? if it is too extreme, try setting it in the center of the slider.

(and it would be great if you could send me a screenshot of the EU screen, showing the skills panel, while in full mode?; please, take the capture in BMP and email-me to <jdegre AT gmail DOT com>).

same goes for zabler (if your error msg is the same...)

@Daar: yes, this is a known issue, which quickly became a feature ... re-locked skills, in red, are not (and will not be) recognized by the program.

Dont get a errormessage in fullscreen, when i tab out the program is 100% white.. No text, no nothing..

So i buggfixxed it myself.. started the game in windowmode, captured, restarted.. works like a charm

True, the skills I have in these are not included in the total provided by the Skill Scanner.

I went on to try this since every other tool i tried for collecting and upload skills to various sites and other tools failed without exception. Naturally my expectations were low to say the least.

Made a manual count of my skills, then ran Skill scanner for comparence reasons. The results match 100%, and in my world it can't get better than that.
I uploaded to Chipping optimizer and Hey, there's a new world here
The csv is neat and clean. I can't really find anything to complain about or find a reason to suggest some improvements at the moment. It just works!

Great work! As usual!

I've tried fullscreen & windowed mode on my XP machine, both worked flawlessly. Great sounds effects

Oh, I thought they were included in the total because they were in the list. So I guess I have 2k more than I thought.

Doesn't work for Me

same as described before:

Data!
Nothing found! Trying with higher gamma
Nothing found!

But windowed mode didn't work for me
Played around with gamma settings too..

Will try it on another PC and send you the bmp's of my PC tonight

There should be np with this, I've played PE/EU for 4½ yrs now! j/k
I use Excel and put my stats in there, so I will probably not try the app.
But good luck with it thou', quite useful (and way faster than Excel ).

The app can save you skills in a CVS file which should be easy to import or copy/paste into Excel if you want.

I will start with a +rep to Jdegre, assuming I am allowed., might have done it too recently already.

2 minor issues.

First:
It will only do 5 scans (for me) if auto-screen is running.
Tried several times.
Auto screen on, 5 scans (presses of PRT-SCRN) and it stops scanning.
It does not crash.
Can save results, etc. Just wont process any more screen shots.

Second:
Does not calculate a "total skill count".

All skills accurately counted. No total value.

A pre-release tool with such minor problems is rather exceptional.
