Tried several times.
Auto screen on, 5 scans (presses of PRT-SCRN) and it stops scanning.

did you buy the full license??? if not, there's a 5 scans limit... sorry.

j/k

i guess that there must be a problem (most probably in my code) that creates some kind of interaction with other programs listening in the windows clipboard. as stated in first post, there is a known issue with PEAss; and now, with AutoScreen... I think I have solved it in the new version but I have to do more tests.

total skill count is displayed only in a "status line" below the skills table, and above the "text console"; do you mean that it does not appear there for you or that it says "total: 0 skills" all the time?.

total skill count is not included in the CSV file (i didn't see the need, since CSV files are intended to be processed further by other applications, which will calculate this total if desired, but if someone finds it useful i can add it).

I finally got around to testing it...
It rox!

Worked perfect for me in full screen. Great job. +Rep


But... (always a but right?)
2 minor things:
- Checking the skills, seems a bit slow compared to NRF. Maybe it's possible to optimize a bit in a future version?
- When I took shots w/o skill window open, I got the "gamma error thingy".... (expected), but the sound was the same as when it succeeded.


Anyway, great tool.. Thx for that.

Yeah, but overall, for me at least, it's a lot faster. With NRF I had to switch compatibility mode for entropia.exe to win2k, switch to full screen and different res in client loader (wouldn't work for me in windowed mode), then alt-tab a bunch to parse the skills, then switch it all back afterwards. With this it's just one button push for each skill screen.

wrt your two issues:

- yeah, there is _lots_ of room for optimization, maybe not so much in the parsing phase (it takes 2-3 secs./skill panel in my case) but specially in the startup phase.

- the "gamma error", in that case, is not really related to the gamma; it is just that the position of the skills panel could not be found. sometimes it is because you just had it closed, but sometimes it is because the gamma is very extreme and i cannot detect any known "reference" point. in any case, there should be an error sound - fully agreed.

@others: thx a lot for the nice feedback and the +reps; it's greatly appreciated.

I tested it last nite.
I indeed get a freeze after 2 to 4 captures when i have PE ass running.

The recognision itself seems to work perfectly though.

I hope you can resolve the issue with other programms running.

i've posted a new version 0.04
it tries to fix the interaction bug with PEAss and AutoScreen.

if any of the people who experienced these problems could report if it works now, or if the error persists, i'd appreciate it.

Just tried the new version and it works well in combination with autoscreen ( autoscreen does a screenshot too but thats obvious)

My only issue (a minor one) is the parsing time using win2k ... parsing the skill values takes 12-15 sec which seams a bit much but might be just a problem on my pc

Nevermind i'll do a update of my java install and come back then
