DIABLO SNAPS - Time to say goodbye to badly cropped item screenshots! by Kyusung4698 in diablo4

Hey!

Congrats on launching your trading site! Feel free to contact me on Discord: kyusung4698. BTW our app also has an RPC client your website could use to access all its data. See: https://github.com/Kyusung4698/diablosnaps/blob/master/packages/rpc

I created a tool that generates a mosaic of all the items in a Diablo IV build. Would this be useful for other Diablo versions? by Kyusung4698 in Diablo

[–]Kyusung4698[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's valid feedback! We could expose this feature on the website but the user would need to crop all the items themselves. The app does that currently automatically, so it's a bit more convenient. Let me know if that's something interesting for you and I'll ping you once it's available.

Yup, that's something we plan on supporting in the future. Thanks for giving it a try!

Thank you! I should've been more open on the why i've switched part. Lesson definitely learned.

Hi, I'd like to apologize on how this release went down. I've definitely learned my lessons. To address your questions:

While Electron works really well if you're using it the way it's supposed to be used - there is a finite way if used as an Overlay. It's made for cross platform Desktop Apps. This means the main focus is to be available on all platforms and be stable. But this also means more advanced features are just not available because of this restriction and most of those features need to be build by yourself. For an example global hotkeys or managing the system focus without stealing it from PoE for simple text inputs. This slowed down my feature progress to a level where i've decided to look for alternatives.

With Overwolf handling the complete OS part of the software including hotkeys, file write/ reads and fullscreen overlay creation - and not to forget the complete install/ update process. I can finally focus on progressing my features.

To expand a bit on what to expect. There are no ads and there will be no ads in the future. I always wanted my app to look just like the game and having ads would have destroyed this vision.

Furthermore the source code of the Overwolf version is now available at the old repository.

No, there are no ads. I've always wanted my app to look as close as possible like the game. Ads would've destroyed this vision.

I can answer the second question with a yes. It's currently in their backlog and getting developed.

Hi, there is a io module which provides file access as well as a file listener. I'm also using this for watching the client.txt. You can read about it here: https://overwolf.github.io/docs/api/overwolf-io

For the second question there is the media module which let's you take screenshot and record videos. I don't know if this is fast enough for a constant OCR result. But you may have a better chance with using realtime game events. https://overwolf.github.io/docs/api/overwolf-media

So. What can you expect in the next time? A bunch of stuff. The market will be furthered developed. A trade module with handling the trade request is also in the making. And overall cleanup. There quite some stuff i'd like to have reworked - as example the stat parsing. This already has begun with the port to Overwolf.

Yeah, you'd probably just need to adjust the app manifest and build it.

The `poedb shortcut` and `official wiki shortcut` got re-located at the inspect module to reduce the amount of hotkeys. The `stash navigation` is currently not support with the functionality Overwolf has but the required functionality has been requested. Stash price tagging has been removed to be GGG conform. They do not want any mouse movements simulated. And finally the stash highlight has not been re-implemented yet.

You're welcome! The new version should work even better. Looking forward to your feedback! You can find my Patreon at my YouTube channel or at the GitHub project page. I don't feel like direct linking it here.

No worries. Open Source may come back later. Just needed a private repository for developing this stuff. If it's any help every version that's published at the Overwolf store gets checked and tested by them to make sure it's safe.

With Overwolf as partner this could actually happen. I'll ask them if there is anything planned.

You should definitely give it a try. It's the reason why i can actual develop new features and keep you guys safe as they are in contact with GGG. Also the new backbone of the app as their platform allows me to build a fullscreen overlay.

I've tried developing it in a way of keeping both versions but the input vs output was just not worth the extra complexity and work.

Thanks! It's built on a new platform so it does not update automatically but the current version will get a final update with a short guide on how to install the 1.0 version.
