1.2 build 8270
2012-08-01 09:15:18


  • Fixed the "Show AP relics" menu option for every player, it remained disabled even after looting some relics.

  • Disabled all user blocks; if you were previously banned from using the application, you can now do it again. The same applies for AP relics count, players with warnings will still have their AP calc'ed.


small update
2012-08-03 22:34:03


  • Improved accuracy of some 3.0 skills

  • Removed "apshare" message for previously blocked players

  • Updated telemachus hackers list


about ranger traps..
2012-08-05 09:30:10
Last few days I've been working on adding ranger traps (damage currently goes to "Unknown"), but I've decided to leave it out like that because the log is way too inaccurate about it, it's a bit like sm pets. Imagine f.e you arrive to defense siege and a few rangers have set some aoe traps, you set then one yourself; since you arrived late, your ARM has no data about previously set traps by other rangers (in which case ARM would nullify the association), then all traps trigger at once when some mobs approach, you would get all damage from every other ranger trap associated to you.

So, no traps for now :(

  • Fixed issues with Nexus Mod Manager

  • Added some hack detection patterns for improved detection of AS


build 8300
2012-08-08 10:29:56


  • Fixed commands ".armory" and ".item", sometimes it would cut the first character of the search term.

  • Added ".online" in-game command, it will show you the amount of online users in your server (for Europe only), gathered from http://aioninfo.com/. You can also click on the popup to go to the website.


New website
2012-08-10 05:18:00
I've moved the website from the .tk domain to www.rainy.ws after they somehow blocked the domain due to "abuse/infringement". Seems like they cancel sites that get decent traffic to put their own ads etc, what bs..

http://labby.co.uk/2011/09/dot-tk-web-address-cancelled-due-to-abuse-and-copyright-infringement-bullshit/

http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/cloaking-content-generators/103036-dot-tk-cancelled-my-domain-has-ever-happened-you.html

So please spread the word and tell everyone about the new URL, since users unaware of it will never get a notification about new versions being available. You have to redownload and re-install ARM from here to get notifications about updates.

Shouldn't run into this issue again since I paid for the .ws (~10 euro/y), whereas the TK always belonged to them as it was for free.
build 8305
2012-08-12 22:39:59


  • Fixed ".online" command, since aioninfo.com website changed their layout etc earlier.

  • Added a check for Aion running in full-screen mode, a warning will be raised on startup.

  • Added player search (.ps or right-click) for US server Kahrun.

1.3
2012-08-23 07:07:31
Major update in this version, so a jump in the numbers is needed :)

You won't see much new stuff, but there's a lot changed in the code. It hasn't been tested by anyone but me, so consider this a beta with possible bugs.


  • Fixed: 3.0 client launch from ARM caused the house scripts and some other minor things not to work, this is fixed now.

  • Reduced memory usage by 30-40%.

  • Added Data/"Reprocess data including mobs". This does the same as if you enable mobs/bosses and load/process current session from the capture tool, in one click.

  • Made the number separator unique for everyone. f.e 1,234 would look different depending on everyone's regional settings, like "1 024", "1$024" for chinese and other weird stuff; it will be "," now for every user.

  • Some minor bug fixes.



Major change: added "counters". You will see new skills in the skill list window, showing when mobs or opponents block your attacks, with either blocks (shield), skin type shields, evades, parries, and spell resists. You can filter these out easily as well as quickly show only those.

You can also view all the damage you've taken, from who, with what skills, what spells you resisted and what attacks you blocked etc.
There is also a brief resume with some stats like block rate %. All these new details will also be included in new saved/loaded session files.





update
2012-08-25 09:02:06
Couple fixes for 1.3


  • Skills window didn't refresh the lower pane correctly

  • Copying skills from skills window didn't include the resisted/blocked skills for counters

  • Added tool: Season Agrint Schedule. This will tell you when and where the next tree will spawn.



1.32
2012-09-07 05:53:05

  • Improved Agrint schedule tool:


After checking the time, a timer will start, updating the ETA every second, as well as showing the time on the taskbar and flashing the button when there's less than 30 minutes left.







 

  • New tab in the chat window: rolls


All rolls in-game will be detected and added to this new tab. When selected, 2 new buttons appear "clear rolls, sort rolls". By clicking on sort, the rolls will be sorted from highest to lowest.





 

  • Changed the time between chat window pruning, from 1 to 5 minutes (1000 lines).

  • Added a button "scroll to bottom". for the main chat tabs.

little fix

There is a bug in the last version of ARM, happening to everyone. It's almost fixed and I'll publish the update tomorrow, keep checking the site for news.
"Your user account has been banned"
2012-09-14 14:53:34
Got my forum account banned for 3 days again :D (Gameforge)

That's the sad state of the European version of Aion, where simply contradicting your opinion about drop rates against some mod gets you banned, they think really highly about themselves.

The worst offenders would be Lord_Fren and Seven, there must be something very wrong in their head. Either that or they are explicitly told to lie and ban users who expose the truths about the greedy business model they forcibly imposed on the userbase GF purchased.

Been considering making ARM subscription-based with a small fee like 2-3 euro a month. What you think?

[poll id="3"]
1.34 fix, donations, french/german status, hacker warnings
2012-09-17 10:07:00
1) Here's the awaited update to fix the issues with crashes/"access violation" from the previous 1.32 version.

2) Lately I've been wondering about the possibility to make ARM subscription-based, where users would have to pay a monthly fee to use the program, so I setup a poll just to hear opinions for now. Ultimately I doubt I will impose anything like that, however, it would be nice if I could get a little revenue back for the time I've put so far into this little app since I started the project over a year ago :)

For the time being, I added some banners from J-list to see how it goes. I've had a couple banners until now from Google, but they barely give anything at all, I guess most people block the banners just like I do :<

So for now, if you'd like to help me a lil bit you can click on the "Donate" button on the upper right corner, or going to the Donations page, it's a simple paypal donate form. Additionally, you can also send me kinah in-game, character Hikari in the server Telemachus :)

3) Many users have requested I make the program work for German and French clients, but it's not an easy task. It involves a lot of work and requires having someone come online with me and help me translate and analyze/compare a LOT of text from the log, in many different pve/pvp situations, for all classes etc, then putting it into a new module in ARM and then a lot of manual work. Contrary to what many believe, it's not a simple list of strings that go through some regex proc; I don't use regex, at all. The parsing is a long complicated process with many steps, pre-fixes, pre/post-analysis of different lines for a single skill etc, that's how ARM manages to be so far beyond any previous meters in its accuracy.

So, I rejected the petitions to do this, but I am now considering the possibility if I receive enough donations for every specific language. Please comment in this post what you think about this.

4) Hacker module:

I decided to disable the hacker warnings from the log analysis (thorough process that tries to detect patterns from various popular cheating tools), as well as pre-determined hacker names after they had been deemed to be cheating and many of them banned, except for some cases of repeating offenders.

This comes after Gameforge recently decided to unban all the hackers upon a "second chance" excuse, which is imo just a way to increase their revenue, since banned accounts don't bring any money. So given this situation from our new lovely publisher, I am taking the feature off for the time being, as the European version of Aion is now a hacker-fest paradise where cheaters don't get punished anymore. ~

You can still make your own trigger-list however, under Tools/Players database, Add player with score "Hacker", so you will get a warning. You are still encouraged to report everyone you deem suspicious, by using the "generate hacker report" feature under player-right-click, and include the log etc in the ticket to the publisher.

This isn't final however, and might be bound to change back in the future.
little fixes
2012-09-24 07:36:03


  • Added auto-scroll back, it's still a bit buggy though.

  • Fixed: agrint tree timer was slowing down after a few hours, ending up with some minutes off the time.


1.5 beta
2012-09-29 18:52:04
Major changes in this update:


  • Updated NotAion launch code to work with their recent server change.

  • Added options to popup-menus in skills window to sum selected/all hits in the upper box.

  • Improved the copy format for skills in the skills window.

  • Added "Extended" menu to copy damage data beyond the 255-character limit of Aion client (can't paste in-game).

  • Screenshots: fixed the issue where the screenshots contained the ARM window or the screenshotter itself if it launched over the Aion client (common issue to players with a single monitor).



Big addition: live filters

"Graphs/Analysis" menu has been removed in favor of a live version of the filters, which you can apply anytime to the current view, so new incoming data will also be filtered by class/mobs. Added also a button to show only PVP damage (without removing PVE data as was the case before). The copy data functions will also work with the filters, giving data only about the filtered view.

It hasn't been thoroughly tested so beta status for now, please report any issues/bugs.

Massive GM corruption and abuse of power at Gameforge
2012-10-28 23:50:31
This European publisher we were forced into keeps reaching new lows of how bad they manage the company and the staff they choose to run it.

A few days ago someone was banned in Telemachus, simply for gliding the fear inside 1-1 arena. The sm in question was a member of the legion UnderG, well known for having a GM playing with them, so either that sm was the GM, or he told their GM right away, seeing as the other player got banned before the arena was even over, he got force dc'ed mid arena and next login attempt he was already banned.

Upon contacting support they were reticent at first: the support guy said he was unsure about gliding to avoid fear was an exploit but that he would trust the other GMs who did the ban. Upon further moving things around and talking to the CM, he got unbanned, as the issue gained some awareness.

More details:

http://board.en.aionfreetoplay.com/board23-aion-the-game/board26-general-discussion/9713-glide-vs-fear-ban

So be aware, legion UnderG in Telemachus has a GM playing with them who's abusing his power, keep this in mind whenever you see a member around.
