• Benchmark code rewritten; now it also includes a short test log so all test results will use the same data for every user


• Updated AionScript hack detection code


• Siege mode removed (detection is a lot more accurate, and dots/servants are limited to avoid giving a caster extra incorrect hits; keep in mind though, only 1 caster will be registered for their hits so other casters will be missing data from theirs)


• Added Settings/Show Processing Time: this will show you how many ms it takes to process data for every second


• Parsing code speed greatly improved


• Spiritmaster pets are now split into a different user -Pets- by default. You can change this in the settings (not recommended, cause this data is impossible to check when there is more than 1 sm around, and also in sieges the balaurs have pets named the same as spiritmasters')


• Added a new settings menu


• Added a feature to enable/disable the chatlog straight from the settings window, new users no longer need to fiddle with any files

• Added player gear search (via ".ps" command and with right-click on player display) for NotAion


• Now you can also run the Aion client from the meter or G15 LCD for both US and NotAion servers. In the case of NotAion, it first performs a check for login/game server being online, and also shows the online users in a tray message


• Misc fixes in damage parsing code


• Added a setting (default) to run 64-bit Aion client if you are on x64 windows (automatically disabled while running NotAion, it doesn't seem to work on x64)

• URL links displayed in the tray through a balloon message will now be skipped if it's the same as last one


• The last URL link can now be clicked through the tray icon menu (right-click)


• Major DPS adjustments to some classes, you might see some differences from previous versions


• DPS penalty from low damage dots has been minimized a bit


• Asmodian Magma Spirit (2K) now supported


• Spiritmaster energies are now supported (all 4 types), with correct timing/skill hits to avoid invalid data during siege


• Fire pet from siege balaurs is now properly parsed


• XML files (compressed) for loading/saving sessions have a small modification, it's possibly you might encounter issues loading older ones


• Removed all debug code (speed-up)

• Updated Telemechus hacker warning list with new details.


• Removed some leftover debug code.

• New: the tray icon will change colour to green when you receive a whisper until you reply, so if you come back from AFK you can check for missing messages.


• Re-enabled the live log analysis code to detect and warn about script cheaters on the go. This is experimental and not final.

• When the tray icon is green (whisper received/not answered), you can hover the mouse over it to reset it.


• You can now type ".item sky dragon" (.item anything..) to search for gear/items in AionArmory.com.


• When you copy the AP list either with .ap or through the menu, the list will show through a balloon tray message as well.


• Other minor fixes and stuff I forgot -.-


• Added a different player display mode:


• 




• Major change: added a group/ally setting. You can now specify players who are in your group or ally, by either right-clicking on them-> "Switch InGroup/Ally", automatically when they join, or you can add them manually through Data-> Add g/a members (necessary when filtered). You can then use Settings-> "Show only my g/a" so that only those will be displayed and included in the damage/dps parsing. When you use this feature, all the players not set as part of your group/ally will be automatically removed. This setting isn't saved when you restart the program. You can also use Data->"Copy Dmg/dps (group/ally)" to show only those set as group if you haven't filtered the display.


• 

• Added french servers

• Added "Help/Redownload latest update" , you can use this in case something went wrong while updating.


• Added new feature Data/Class filters, to remove all classes from the current list except the one picked; useful in sieges to compare class dmg.


• The updater is now embedded in the main arm executable, to ease updates of the.. updater. It will be extracted to "Appdata/Aion RainMeter" when needed automatically (antivirus might give a warning).

• Fixed player gear search to reflect the recent merge in US servers. Please enter settings/main settings to check you selected the right server.

• Added a check for Gold Package remaining time (European servers only). When it's below 24 hours it will give you a warning (688 used as a test for the screenshot, it will warn only when below 24). For this to work, you must have the meter running before logging in/switching characters.

Hi, here's another update, 0.99 beta, almost there!

It looks like aliens somehow stole the doublebuffering in the main window, so you might have noticed some heavy flickering in sieges and some other graphical glitches. It seems they also managed to get away with some memory, so you might have experienced some memory leaks while loading sessions.

No panic though, we catched them all and the issues are fixed.

In the meantime, I made also some major speed improvements in the parsing core and my custom XML library, resulting in extremelly faster loading/saving of sessions and processing of log files. I tested with my largest siege file with 717 players and 3 million lines, the processing time was lowered from ~2:30 minutes to .. 7-8 seconds, now that's an improvement :D

Added also some hints in the menus about their associated in-game commands like .dmg .ap etc

Also half-fixed: player search for US servers; it seems the old website is no longer working and I hadn't noticed. However.. it won't be filtered by server for now, just a quick fix. It seems the new website doesn't allow starting a direct search filtered by server, but instead it filters the results after the initial search through a json/ajax query and modifies the page in-place without reloading; so it needs some additional work, it'll be ready for 1.0.

• Timestamp will now contain only the time, not the date


• Added number of hits on the window caption


• Added mob/player name in the hits list


• Added a search/filter box; this is nice to quickly check specific hits you did in pvp or to a specific mob

• English: already supported


• German/French: will never be supported (unless paid to do so). English client already works with all European servers. These clients are the reason we still don't have 3.0 in Europe. If you are a German or French player and you are using English client since the beginning, please mail Gameforge and let them know how useless these dubs and translated clients are.


• Chinese: discarded.


• Russian: very unlikely but would do if paid for it.


• Japanese: I'd be willing to add jp support, but their playerbase is probably too small to be worth it


• Korean: I'd be willing to add support for the Korean client. For that, I'd need to be supplied with a working vpn, korean account, and someone with access to various lvl60 characters/classes and able to communicate fluently in English to work with me in the translation and understanding of the korean client log format.

• Percentage bars: the player boxes now include a small % bar displaying the percentage of damage done by that user. To view the number, hover the mouse over. You can hide them by default from the settings area, or by clicking on them to switch to AP relics counter. When you loot relics, it will be switched automatically.


• Alternate style: added a new style for player boxes, a bit similar to the Wow dps meter addons I've seen around. In this mode, the % is displayed differently, using the entire player box as the progress bar, and showing the top player as 100% and adjust the others relative to that.


• Minimalist UI: added a temporal setting to remove all UI elements besides the player boxes and the transparency slider.


• Enemy faction: now you can set players as "Enemy faction" via right-click menu/Switch Enemy Faction. This is a per-server setting. Those tagged as opposite faction will be displayed in purple.


• "X" clear button is now invisible until there is some data to clear. If there are no visible players but you see the X, it means there are at least active applied effects etc, and it's best to clear it for more accurate results before starting a new parsing.


• Added a small display to show various data: quests/pvp AP gain and Kills, Exp/Mobs killed, Kinah gained/spent. You can switch between the 3 by clicking on it.

• Added a new window/tool "Graphs/Reports" (.report in-game) where you can filter players/damage by mob/boss. More options will be added there in the future like graphs etc.


• ApCalc: removed most functionality of this area since it's no longer needed with the in-game relics tool; now it's just a basic AP calc.


• Hacker Report: Added an option in the player menus, "Build hacker report". If you suspect someone is cheating/hacking, this will copy all their current data like skills timing, damage, and every action with their name from the current session raw log, ready to be included in a support ticket.


• Added a tool "Item Library". You can access it from the menu or using ".item .." (you can include a search term). You can then double click the item there to get the in-game item code to paste.

• Logfile will now be automatically re-assigned after you delete/rename it from the size-warning dialog, as long the path is still valid.


• Player leaving the group/ally or being kicked, as well as yourself disbanding the group, will now unset their InGroup status.


• Shockwave: If you don't use C-Dredgion's "shockwave" quest item when the Captain is being engaged, you'll get a warning.


• Updated Telemachus hacker lists.


• Gradient style setting fixed, it was reset upon restart.


• You can now pause/resume the dps parsing with in-game commands ".pause" ".resume".


• You can now close most additional windows with ESC (main window will minimize instead).


• Launching Aion client from ARM now includes the setting to right-click/block spammers.


• Removed the AP relics list from skills window. You can now access that from the right-click menu for every player "show AP relics".


• Log size warning trigger reduced from 200MB to 100MB.


• Added a setting in the logsize warning dialog to skip closing Aion when deleting/renaming (must be on the char selection, else the client will crash).


• Chatlog enabling checks are improved/easier.


• Client language is now checked if Aion is running when you open ARM. It will give a warning if it's not English (german/french not supported).


• Items DB updated, now containing 49.717 items (still missing 3.0 stuff, if you have a link with an updated list please contact me).


• Edited US servers list.


• Clipboard setting: added an option to disable clipboard monitoring (not really needed anyway, see below).


• Clipboard monitoring will not take affect from 1.0 unless the Aion client is the currently active window, ensuring what you copied/cut was an in-game command for ARM.


• Added a "Faction" setting. For now this is only used for the in-game faction translation, to avoid the EA/AE setting. Now you can just do ".tr text to translate".


• "Alias": Added an Alias sub-menu for your own player box, where you can specify one of the pre-set characters to be used when you copy dmg/ap etc data for pasting.


• Chat window size is now remembered after restart.


• Added a new copy macro to include only Dmg, not dps. Access it from the Data menu or using ".hit" in-game.


• Changed in-game command ".item" to ".armory".


• Added in-game commands ".ping" and ".iptrace" (does the same as clicking the buttons from the settings window).


• Changed the IP for the ping and trace commands. Now it pings the specific IP for every server (it was only the login server before). Note however, US servers seem to be firewalled against ICMP (ping), so you should do a trace instead for those.


• Added ".check playername" to check whether a player is your local player database. If found, it will display the player status with a tray tooltip.


• Fixed: some things were not being processed when you had chat features disabled, like AP from pvp kills and some other things.


• Added support to manually process older large log files. Before it used to cap at 150-200 MB unless you had 64-bit version (no longer supported). Now you can process any size file.


• Fixed some issues arising from using more than 1 ARM instance at the same time, where the G15/510 display would get stuck.


• Added a "portable" option. You can run arm with /portable as argument, and it will use a settings folder where the exe is located, rather than in AppData. This is very useful if you play both in US and EU regions, so that you can keep separate settings for each. You can also run a portable instance from the File menu.

• Replaced the Windows traditional tooltip messages by my own system to overcome some issues: up to 3 messages are now displayed at once; when a message is displayed, it won't make the taskbar come out of auto-hide if you had it set that way; the messages will be displayed also in windowed-fullscreen mode. Like the traditional tooltips, they will fade away after some seconds (with some exceptions) or upon right-click.

• Added "hacker" status, so you can assign players deemed hackers yourself and get a warning, besides the hardcoded lists and live analysis/reports.


• Database features are now disabled for new instances while more than 1 ARM is running.

• Removed the embedded system.cfg editor and released it as a separate app for further compliance with the ToS etc. You can get it at the downloads area.

• "Class Compare" tool is now extremely faster.


• Class filter feature is now extremely faster.


• Skills window is now extremely faster, able to display even millions of hits with no delay.

• Core parsing has been completely rewritten and is now a lot more accurate.


• Wintry is now recognized and identified as such in the skills window.


• Delayed hits from sorc are now assigned correctly when more than 1 is present.


• Better support for IceSheet and Whirlwind.


• Most applied effects are now supported, like Poison and Venom from sins, Promise/Blessing and others. This is much improved in situations with more than 1 of the same class present, with some smart-code that tries to guess what belongs to who upon certain conditions, and also destroys existing dots/effects when player dies.


• Cleric servants in siege or in situations with more than 1 cleric present are now a lot more accurate.


• PVP: most pvp hits are now recognized and assigned.


• Some 3.0 skills/dots are now supported (not all, don't have enough data; need someone from US servers to help me with this)


• Blood/Darkness additional hit from sin now working better/fixed, but only for 3.0 client.


• FFA arena contestants are now parsed normally as players.

• Lots of changes to this window, like % dmg per skill, filtering and search per skill or any term, right-click menu to copy selection on each side, double-click to copy current line. Left-click a skill on the left pane to show all the hits by that skill.


• Godstoneshits are now displayed as "Godstone: Magical.."


• Silence/Paralyze godstones are also included in the skills list with their proc time.

• Player profiles search is fixed for US servers since the recent website changes. Disabled for Euro servers. For US ones, it will now launch the profile directly if the name is complete and found (found within the json parsed results), else it will return a search page. Disabled for Kahrun server (it doesn't have profiles yet afaik).

• There is now a setting "Register only pvp hits". When enabled, only hits deemed as "pvp" will be registered. The app icon will change to green as a visual hint that this is enabled. You can switch it via the settings menu or using ".pvp" in-game. You can also remove all pve hits from a current session via the menu or using ".rpve".

• Filter is now extremelly faster, possibly 100-1000x.


• Some misc bug fixes.


• Fixed a memory leak issue where the log was always requesting memory to pre-buffer the log even if the window wasn't in use.


• Added several options to load older log data, from a file, from the current active session since the last clear, and selecting an amount of KB to load from the end of the log file.

• The Aion screenshot feature has been improved. It used to display some borders around the image, and not capture it properly when in windowed mode and not maximized, or using windowed-full screen. Now it's captured perfectly 100% to its corresponding size. Note however, that using full-screen will still result in an empty black screenshot.


• Some notes about the screenshot feature: I added it because using the in-game normal screenshotting results in the client freezing, sometimes for 4-5 seconds or more, due to poor coding.. imo, so having ARM take the screenshot instead you get no delay. You can take the SS either via the G15 applet, via the SS button in the main bar in ARM, via the Tools menu, or using the various in-game commands like .ss or .uss (automatically uploads for sharing). The screenshots taken with ARM are saved to a separate folder, which you can access from File/Open Screenshots folder.

• Some UI changes, alternate minimalist mode


• Cursecloud inverse shield damage


• Ranger traps


• Full 3.0 skills/dots


• New AP share tool (you can link ap relics in group and do .shareap, it will say who has to loot what)
