Category: ARM

small update,

• Fixed some dots and poisons from mobs and pvp that weren’t being assigned to the casters
• Added score/ninja warning when people join your alliance (only group before)
• Added also the warning for people not in your group/ally or who were already in before you joined
• Moved loot history to the chat window
• Added a filter to the player database window and made it larger by default
• Fixed reflect shields from mobs and pvp, they weren’t assigned to the caster

New version:

• Added a new setting to specify your main server.
• Added command “.new” to start a new instance of the program.
• Added command “.ps name” to make a search for a player in the Aion website, filtered by your server.
• Added some players to the permanent block list, these will be filtered out and not parsed by ARM. The program will also close itself if used by players in the blocked list.
• When new players join your group, a new player box will automatically be added.
• Added a warning when players in your bad/blacklist database join your group, you will get a notification in the tray. Additionally, a warning text will appear in their player box in red. The text warning will also appear for players not in your group (or you joined after them) when their dps is parsed.
• Added a permanent warning list per server of known scammers/ninja players. You can post screenshots etc here to get new players added to the permanent warning list. Players in telemachus currently in the list well known for ninja/scam actions: Spriggan, Hlektrolos, Chuquan, Akayara.

Added my system.cfg file to “how to enable chatlog” page, you can download it at the end on part 3; if you were unable to enable chatlog through methods 1 and 2, this should work 100%.

New version:

• Added a “player database” feature. Little tool to keep track of players; you can add them from their player box or through the management tool under Tools/Player Database. You can pick between 4 “scores”: blacklist, bad, neutral, good, which will show in different colors. You can access the tool also in-game with the comand “.db”.
• Added an option “Open Aion folder”

 

 

 

 

So here’s  a new version ^^

Changelog: (extremelly boring, don’t bother reading!)

• In-game commands changed: .ap .dmg .bb .gg .tr .si .rank .kill .ss .css .uss .clear – check Help/Tips for a complete list of available commands.
• Added commands to show siege times, ranks table, kill aion process.
• Added a warning on the main window when the chatlog file exceeds 200 MB. If you click it, a window pops up with options to automatically delete the file or rename it with the current date as pattern, and automatically kill Aion process before (required).
• Added always-on-top option to Damage Profiler tool.
• Clipboard copy commands (dps/ap) are now trimmed to 255 characters (Aion limit -.-).
• Added “MouseMove” on Damage Profiler tool (move the window by dragging it from anywhere besides the caption bar).
• Fixed MouseMove on the main ARM window (it didnt work on certain areas).
• Added a popup menu when you right-click the b/g text for +/-/reset.
• Loot History window now keeps track of all looted items. Manually added ones with .bb/.gg are split into another box.
• Added recognition for promise/blessing of wind hits for cleric/chanter, but only for self-hits (others wont register the hit).
• Dettached the chat from the main window. It’s automatically docked, but you can undock it and freely move/resize it separately.
• Player names will change color when actively dpsing, from green (dpsing) to light blue (dpsing some seconds ago) back to white (idle).
• Improved detection of non-player hits to exclude from players list (mob names and such).
• Added a setting to show hits from mobs (not permanent). (this is useful f.e to test the dmg mobs do on you with different gear etc).
• Fixed: some pvp hits from the other faction or duels now register properly. (not sure if all, needs further testing).
• Reflect shield hits will now register to yourself properly (a separate player was added before).
• Skills window now has 2 buttons to refresh the table, and to auto-refresh every second.
• Added crit % rate and average damage per skill to skills list window.
• Added a display bar for all dmg/dps (damage from everyone together); it shows current dps – average dps – peak dps – max dps – damage.
• Added commands and menu options to take and upload Aion and damage screenshots; they are saved in PNG (as opposed to Jpeg by Aion client which lose some quality). Uploaded ones are Jpeg though instead, to save on upload time.
• Added a table to show how much AP you win and lose according to rank. (available in the tools menu or typing .rank)
• Windows will now “snap” to the edges as you approach them when dragging.
• Added a popup menu to the player displays with options to bring up skills window, copy damage data, remove/ban from parsing.
• Added player removal/ban. You can now remove single players from the main window without clearing them all. You can also ban player names from being parsed, either temporarily (until you restart) or permanently. You can edit the banned names in Settings/Edit banned players.
• Added search/filter option on the chat window.
• Added a screenshot button to the main window.

That’s all for now. Things still pending to-do:

– Improve UI. Alternate UI.
– Complete sm pets skills testing. Added asmo 2K DP pet recognition.
– Remove siege mode and generate queues for cleric servants cast on the same mob.
– Add a setting to parse only group or ally members.
– Add a display with more data when you click on a player box.
– Hide AP display when not in use.

I’ve been getting a few emails requesting translation of my parser to other languages like french, german, spanish.. so this is a general reply for future reference.

I don’t like nor believe in localisation for software and media, and believe everything should remain in English before wasting time and resources into unnecessarily translating into other languages.

Therefore, the parser will remain in English and I won’t be making any translation options available.

If you are having issues due to using the german or french clients, I suggest you use the english one, you can still connect to any European server with that one afaik.

The only thing I’d consider is an option/setting for the Korean and Japanese clients (the app would still be in English, but would support korean and japanese game logs for parsing).

Updated the 0.7 beta client with the following changes:

– fix: when you ran a new instance from the menu, the new one didn’t load the settings/log path
– feature: added in the Tools menu: “Kill aion process”

In the last Aion 2,7 client they are forcing you to wait 10 seconds if you click on the X or alt-f4 etc to close the game. While I understand they do this to -try- stopping forceloggers in pvp,  it’s really an annoyance and not really stopping anyone to do so, there are always ways around that; I’m used to close the game just normally like that when running in windowed mode, so this was really annoying. The feature might be a bit controversial and against the EULA? I don’t know.. but then, if this was bannable, they might as well ban you for using Windows to start with since you can just kill the aion process from the task manager as well, so w/e.

Uploaded a new build with the following fix:

– In the AP calc tool, only the telemachus link in the menu worked for retrieving the character AP data.

New beta is here:

– Added a 64-bit version
– Some UI changes
– Improved damage parsing
– Added faction translation tool
– Splash screen is now faded and click-through
– Splash screen and version check are disabled when you run a new instance from the menu
–  Added command-line parameters “-nosplash” and “-noversioncheck”
– Added screenshot upload tool. Use it to upload the damage/players box to Imgur with 1 click
– Added a notification while siege mode is enabled
–  Added “loot history” window. This works together with the in-game commands for b/g
– Changed b/g commands from #b/#g to +b/+g
– Added in-game command for translation: “translate EA asmo are all noobs” for elyos-to-asmo translation, or “translate AE we are the easy-mode faction” for asmo-to-elyos
– Added in-game command “alldmg” to copy damage data to clipboard
– Added a window to input and edit your character names. This is needed to restrict in-game commands to your own typing , and also helps damage parsing with certain skills like Summon Whirlwind, some damage shields and others (to identify your hits).
– You can now copy in-game commands to clipboard rather than having to type them out in group etc, just type it, select the text and copy/cut to clipboard, and ARM will catch it and process the requested operation just as if you’d pressed enter instead.
– Added AP  Relics tool. You can keep track of all your characters’ AP and relics in this window. You can also retrieve the current AP amount from the website with a button click (for english and german servers).
– Added a damage/dps profiler to test different skill rotations or w/e.
– Alpha blending value is now remembered upon restart
– Added a button to hide the main window; only the button will remain then on the screen, faded, click it to bring the main window back.
– Added a setting for switching “Always on top”.
– Added items database to show the names in the chat window rather than the previous item number ids.

0.8 will focus on UI changes, group/ally dmg restrictions and a revision to sm pets dmg (I think there are some bugs with sm pet skills, and the asmo equivalent to Tempest is still missing)

 

 

 

– Major changes to the UI, though mostly testing colors and sizes for the player boxes. Click on the player name and damage text to open skills/copy data.
– Player boxes will change color and and “push” down while actively doing dps. Pushed = actively dpsing; just coloured = recently active.
– Added feature: table comparison of damage/skills etc for the same classes (useful in raids/sieges)
– Added splash screen and changed about window picture.
– Some changes and fixes to damage and dps metering.
– Improved speed.
– Made siege times window centered on the screeen.
– Added a “blues/golds” counter. Type “#b” in game to increase b, “#g” for golds.
– Added “copy all” option in the menu for damage/dps, as well as clearing options for both damage and AP separately.
– Added mouse scroll functionality to players area.
– Added a counter for overall dps/peak dps/max hit/damage (for all the players). Displayed on the caption bar for now, sry ^^
