No more clicksaver/item assistant?

**Bluephazon** · May 2nd, 2012, 18:47:21

Since the process names are changing, won't these tools need to be rebuilt?

**Vhab** · May 2nd, 2012, 18:50:38

Yes, these tools will need to be updated by their respective authors.

vhab hates the game! that's why he purposely broke clicksaver and item assistant! you read it here first, folks!

just need a copy of the exe name with the old name in the ao folder, clicksaver finds it by name when it builds its database or updates it. That worked on testlive anyway when i tried it with 18.5 patch

Would be more convenient if you just added clicksaver to the game, or as an official tool...

Please add the ability to chose mission rewards already. I mean why make bot heals mission rollable only with no way in game to find the damn things? *weeps*

What are the 'process names' ? When are they changing? I did not see anything about this in the update ... or I just missed it. I would really miss items assistant ...

client has been changed to anarchyonline on testlive due to video driver profiles. Nvidia driver profiles have a lot of exe's with client as the process, so they changed it to stop a loading bug

**Liwa** · May 3rd, 2012, 17:19:26

This change is on Test server? And will be on live servers with next patch?

**Lazy** · May 3rd, 2012, 17:21:49

yes it's on test. i THINK they're skipping THIS testlive patch from live servers and going straight to the NEXT one.

I love how Vhab received a trolling ban the same time as he got that fancy new avatar.

Now, seriously. Thanks for putting your mind into the game, to make it better. Just incorporate the most used third party programs into the game, to avoid them getting outdated. Or even have the original programmers on the paycheck to supply solutions to their programs in case of an update.

It is on Test (it actually made it into the Known Issues list).

That line from the Prelim Test notes (3rd post) affects Test only, there won't be any oddities with patch skipping on Live (or at least there shouldn't, unless something breaks spectacularly

).

A quick note here: It's worth waiting until the next patch hits TL to find out what they are doing with the exe's, as can be highlighted by this single line from the prelim patch notes (3rd post):

It could be any number of things, but is likely a pair of small 'redirect exes' that point to the new filenames.

I'll elaborate on that.

Anarchy.exe was renamed to AnarchyLauncher.exe in the previous TL patch.
We've renamed it back to Anarchy.exe with the new TL patch.

Client.exe will still be called AnarchyOnline.exe and that means 3rd party applications relying on this behavior still need to be updated.

**Mastablasta** · May 7th, 2012, 15:08:57

What is wrong with anarchylauncher?

**Maofex** · May 7th, 2012, 17:23:18

I sent a mail to IA's auther when 18.5 hit test server.
IA shouldn't be effected by this at all, as it doesn't look for a proccess filename, but rather the window title. Currently window title is Anarchy Online, the only change there will be that logged in character name will be added.

I haven't tested this extensivly, but IA recorded changes for me on test live this patch cycle. If it works on Test, it should work when it hits live.

Clicksaver on the other hand will be needing changes.

not really, CS[the real one] looks for a named exe, so you just need to duplicate it to get the CS installer/database updater working

**Bluephazon** · May 8th, 2012, 14:28:34

Clicksaver db updates might work with a copy of the AO client with the old name, but has anyone actually tried rolling with it? Unless I'm wrong in assuming it reads memory from Client.exe and returns the array of missions I don't see how it would work without being altered.

**Darkbane** · May 8th, 2012, 20:27:32

I'm pretty sure all these just use the exe name to make sure they are pointed at the right folder, the actual injection process works by looking for specific DLLs (MessageProtocol.dll specifically).

Anyway, with the EXE now named back to what it was, even having a renamed copy is no longer needed and it'll all just work
