Announcing a program to inventory your backpacks into a text file

[muha]

Does this program work work with the latest patch (15.9.1)?
CharacterProfiler worked nicely, but I can't get Item Loader to register any backpacks.

Thanks

[Alreadythere]

Used it in 15.9.1, worked as well as ever. Got the newest version? FC changed some things that broke old ones.

Oh, and got a new request Covenant: can't you auto-ID the bioclumps? list them as something like Pristine Biomaterial (UNIDENTIFIED)?

And when do you finish the new pattern matcher version?

[muha]

Maybe I should have mentioned it is my first attempt with this program, so I can't say if it would have worked for me with earlier patches.
The symptoms are simple - I just get an empty .inv file, no matter how many backpacks I open/move from bank to inv.
As I said, character profiler does work, and it is a very nice thing. Thanks covenant.

So can anyone help me figure out what is wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Try zoning before cataloging the inventory (and start item loader after zoning, last time I tried zoning with it running, I crashed right away).

Then open your backpacks or take them out of the bank. Works all the time for me, just not sure if the backpacks are reread when you open them a second time.

[MrFlibbles]

As Already mentioned the packs are only read the first time they are opened after zoning.

I had a similar problem after 15.9 patch but Covenant was very quick to release a version that worked. (As well as an update to Clicksaver - yay! ;P )

Head over to Covenant's AOIS page and download the latest version. That fixed it for me.

You feel the core of your being shift as the Source makes room for a divine presence. "AOIS" has achieved enlightenment.

New version - 2.2.0

The only change 2.2.0 brings is a fix to work with 15.9 and onward. With all the fuss over 15.9, ClickSaver, and upcoming RL things (my wedding!) this sort of got forgotten, and I apologize for that. I've had an updated version of AOIS up since patch day; you'll need to download the new version to work with AO post 15.9.

Backpacks are not re-read if you open them a second time, by the way.

Also, someone mentioned ClickSaver. Yes, there's an updated version of ClickSaver on the site that works post 15.9.

When you say they're "messed up" , what do they look like?

Also, if you don't have your AO folder specified then AOIS can't find the information necessary to know the names of your custom backpacks. Make sure that the program knows (Options screen setting at the top) and try running it again.

[Ashdrake]

AO folder as .. in like C:\Anarchyonline? or what i have set my AO folder there. and it sill messed up .

it shows like this
Backpack # 8 crap spirits (Large Backpack - Implants)
QL 246 Kyr'Ozch Hammer
QL 143 Kyr'Ozch Machine Pistol
QL 210 Kyr'Ozch Sledgehammer
QL 270 Kyr'Ozch Crossbow
QL 246 Kyr'Ozch Pistol
QL 232 Kyr'Ozch Energy Rapier
QL 201 Kyr'Ozch Energy Carbine
QL 165 Kyr'Ozch Energy Pistol

Backpack # 9 (Large Backpack - Implants)
QL 300 Endorphin Factory
QL 251 Endorphin Factory
QL 240 Viral Compiler
QL 286 Bracer of Focused Concentration
QL 1 Inactive Nano Input Hood

(sorry for spam)

thats a short ex.
and the all the stuff there endrphin / viral bracers etc is in 1 backpackk named Endropin/virals/stuff
and Those weapons are in a backpack called AI weapons, yet they both misplaced the names and some even arent named.

[cov186]

That's odd all right.

Two things I note -

1. The directory you want to have set is your Anarchy Online directory. If you're getting any names at all for your backpacks (even wrong ones) then likely that directory is set correctly because it's finding information somewhere. Which leads to...

2. AOIS works best in a low-lag environment. I wish I knew why but if there is a lot of traffic (activity) when you run Item Loader, the information packets can get "mismatched" resulting in problems like you're experiencing. I can duplicate the problem you're seeing if I try sorting at the Ent platform bank for instance (not all the time but sometimes).

Try running it in a low-lag environment like an empty shop. If that still gives you problems then PM me and we'll get it worked out.

And when do you finish the new pattern matcher version?

Regarding bio material - I most certainly can. I need a reference table with which material corresponds to which results when opened. (Can someone provide this to me please?)

Pattern Matcher version should be up in the next day or two. It's become a jinx for me; every time I sit down to get it finished, something comes up. What I thought was going to take only a few hours is taking... only a few hours spread out over several days.

(Can someone provide this to me please?)

Sure
The bot plugin that I use does the identification by highid, so I guess that's what needed:

I love you man (or woman, whatever ).

Now... if the character profiler did report my cash status...

Actually, I'm working on that too.

I'll hijack my own thread for a moment since I have some news about Character Profiler. In case that doesn't ring a bell, CP is a portion of AOIS that parses out the "content" of a character - your equipment, implants, armor, etc - and put it into a file.

Well, good news - I have a working prototype that will extract out, well, basically everything about a character. Attributes (like Strength and Psychic) and skills (like Pistol, Treatment, and Ranged Initiative) ... and I'm pretty sure amount of credits as well. This can be printed out to a text file for review.

Best of all I can also save the data into a character emulation program's "saved" format. Therefore, you can run the program and then literally "load" your own character into an emulator in a few short steps. Since I'm familiar with Nillian's emulator I've been working with that one, but if there are other popular emulator programs out there I'll try to work it into their format as well. (I'll need to be supplied with that format, so if you're an author please contact me.)

Anyhow, since Character Profiler was doing half the work already, I'm splitting CP off into its own project (and eventually its own thread) with the next release of AOIS.

Speaking of AOIS, Alreadythere has been kind enough to help me with "labelling" Bio Material results. This means it will tell you it's a Type 112, or a Viral Serum, or whatever that particular Bio Material item is in the listing. This fix also addresses an issue with Enforcer nano IDs that was brought up a while back. I hope to have this version up in a few days.

I'll post more when I get farther along. Meantime, I'd enjoy hearing thoughts on the upcoming Character Profiler, namely what you'd like to see and how you'd like to have it displayed.

Very, very good news indeed!

Definitely generate some XML files from it, "for any creatives out there" (to quote FC). Same goes for AOIS of course, XML as output option would just be very, very cool.

Cos for me and my other friend doesnt work. My last export was 10th of this month (i did export of my char), but from then I couldnt make any other export char or even backpack ... always getting msg not items found.
