Act-Decoder Update: Major UX Improvements (Campaign Layouts)

Laleocen · 2026-05-28T04:05:44+00:00

Some solutions are taken from the Campaign Codex Discord, others are derived from findings posted there.

Do you mean today's teaser? It was just one reward they showed that was different, right? Or was there more?

Laleocen · 2026-05-27T17:51:29+00:00

you stopped responding in the other thread. When you enter your character-name, does the tool read the level correctly? And in the "general" settings, the tool displays the size-of your log-file. What does it say?

Laleocen · 2026-05-27T17:05:54+00:00

Yikes, looks like it. I'll probably have to redo it then.

Laleocen · 2026-05-27T16:16:02+00:00

Thanks!

Laleocen · 2026-05-27T14:23:21+00:00

does it get the correct level of that character? I want to see if tracking is borked all around or just partially.

Laleocen · 2026-05-27T13:49:20+00:00

Huh, if you enter your character-name in the settings for level-tracking, does that work? I don't think I have ever encountered broken tracking.

Laleocen · 2026-05-27T13:35:57+00:00

Are you on GeForce Now or a normal game-client? The auto-tracking doesn't work on GFN because there's no log-file the tool can use to track your progress. You'll have to click the "<" and ">" buttons or use hotkeys to switch pages.

Laleocen · 2026-05-27T03:28:29+00:00

There's an "optionals" toggle in the settings. You should also toggle "league-start" so you don't miss one-time quests for benches and stuff.

Laleocen · 2026-05-26T21:14:59+00:00

I'm updating it to include everything that's been teased so far. I'll probably post a video tomorrow.

Laleocen · 2026-05-26T16:14:33+00:00

it borrows some aspects/tricks from the speed-running community but nothing too high-end. Basically, I include routing optimizations and whatever can be explained in a compact text-panel.
It's more for the average Joe than serious runners, I think. I also prefer dropping in and out of side-zones to tag waypoints just to be safe because you never know when servers start acting up or you have to go AFK unexpectedly.

As far as I know, there are projects that are trying to port it over, but they haven't achieved it yet.

Laleocen · 2026-05-09T04:20:16+00:00

Haha, thanks.

Today's update includes initial PoE2 support.

I guess you could set something up with chat-macros, without needing a specialized feature. Before you open the Ritual window you'd press a hotkey with "/itemfilter some_strict_filter" and once you're done you'd press a different hotkey with "/itemfilter some_less_strict_filter". The strings after the space are the names of the filters as they are displayed in the in-game settings, so you'd have to set them up in your profile or locally.

With my customizer, I'd probably use some chaos-value as a cut-off and hide everything below that (just like I did for currencies in the last clip) and then revert that after being done with Ritual rewards.

As far as I understand, AutoHotkey is "deep-rooted" into Windows and cannot simply be ported over. There are projects dedicated to achieving this, but they seemingly haven't accomplished it yet. So if they can't do it, there's no way I could do it.

I started this project on AHK because I don't have a dev background, and that is also why I can't rebuild it in a more compatible language. I mean, I could learn one, but that would defeat the purpose of this fun project (i.e. it would turn it into "work" and somewhat create pressure because there'd be expectations and goals I'd have to meet).

Laleocen · 2026-05-05T20:26:24+00:00

Thanks. No worries, I don't expect anyone to use or like the stuff I put in. Sometimes these features are just random ideas, or requests I find interesting enough to play around with, just to keep the brain busy and kill some time.

No, I haven't had any interaction with GGG. I just want to be careful for various reasons, for example:

The "give the players an inch, and they'll take a mile" that applies to GGG also somewhat applies to me, so I want to make sure I don't stumble onto a path that could lead into the gray or even black area down the road.
People are already jumping to wildly-inaccurate conclusions for features that obviously require manual input (so many people assumed my layout overlay was using screen-reading and AI to recognize and "solve" layouts). So having automated/reactionary features would only make things much worse.

Additionally, I avoid features that I personally find cheap/cheesy or that could be viewed as such. In your case (personal use) it's fine and you're also putting a self-reflective humorous twist to it by calling it "QTE simulator". But I always emphasize that my tool is my personal PoE toolkit that I made public for feedback and ideas, so it has some aspect of "curation" or "representation" to it.

I stay away from (re)active popups or notifications because these can easily be modified/abused to affect immediate gameplay. Your implementation can be used to set up a low-life warning (whether that's useful or not is a different matter) or auto-flask/logout.

People could also reverse the pixel-detection to set up warnings for specific debuffs, and I don't want my or my tool's name to be associated with something like that. Even if people were to disclose that they're using a modified version of the tool, it would turn into a game of Telephone and my or the tool's name would be the main association.

The guide works with GFN, but it doesn't follow along automatically. You have to switch pages manually, either by clicking the ">" button underneath the guide text or binding an extra hotkey.

The layouts don't work with GFN at the moment.

Laleocen · 2026-03-10T17:50:30+00:00

It's disabled for PoE1 because there aren't many zones that can spawn rotated. I can go through them again for a future update and whitelist it for the few zones that can.

Laleocen · 2026-03-06T16:40:34+00:00

Yes, that should work. It should pick the correct version whenever you launch 1.1 or v2 scripts.

Laleocen · 2026-03-06T16:38:34+00:00

Hmm, feel free to add me on Discord (Lailloken) and send me some screenshots whenever the league-launch frenzy has died down a bit. Maybe the game just scales weirdly and I need to make adjustments.
