Running 2.9.6.4 and it seems to work just fine. There's only one weirdness - vtank doesn't seem to understand the amount of time left on buffs - when I log in, it often (not always) wants to rebuff me, even if there are 40+ minutes left on my buffs.

Was this happening with previous versions?


This sounds more like Vtank isn't saving the information correctly when you log out...or possibly not loading the info correctly. I don't think it operates off of the timers in the spell panel. Think it keeps track by logging the time the spell is cast. This is why it can keep track of banes.

I don't remember it happening before the update. On the other hand VI also posted an update to VT at about the same time, it might have been be the VT update.


When something like this happened, it was because the protocol changed on buff timers and that confused a number of plugins until the protocol XML files were updated, that's why I asked on this thread.

I'm not sure if other people have run into it as well, but I ran into a CTD bug with Find It! today. It was the first time I've ever used that particular plugin, and I should have known better than to try with a new beta (which I also installed today), but I did and have since disabled Find It!

Has anyone run into a problem like this with Find It!??

At seemingly random times when portaling into a new landblock, I got an error (wish I'd taken a screen shot) about an unhandled exception in some .NET thing. Here's an export if that helps.

Sorry, double post.

VTank doesn't save ANYTHING at logout.

If you wait to save something until logout then it won't save if the client crashes, and the data will be lost. This is generally a big inconvenience for the user. If saving takes a long enough time that it would create a significant pause in gameplay, it should be threaded instead.

As for buffs, VTank has two categories of self-buffed spells: item spells and creature/life spells. Item spell end times are saved in an .ast file in the VTank profile directory. Creature/Life spell times are not saved; rather, it watches the CharacterFilter ChangeEnchantments event to see when spells on you have changed.

So, if item buffs are being rebuffed then it is probably because the .ast file cannot be written (at the time the spell is cast). If creature/life spells are being rebuffed then there is a problem in CharacterFilter.

 

-----signature-----

It's creature/life spells that are being rebuffed.


The timers for the item spells have always been a bit wonky but they mostly work (I'll check the acls on the AST file to make sure they can be written).


Is the AST file written from the denagent process or the acclient process?

All plugins run inside acclient.exe. Denagent just does the injection (and if you manually add a .net plugin with browse it will load the assembly to try to find a class derived from pluginbase).

With the 'standard injection method', Denagent checks on a timer for a copy of aclauncher running, then hooks its createprocess call to make it force load Decal's inject.dll when it starts AC.

 

-----signature-----

Interesting. I thought you'd write an alternate class factory for D3D into HKCU and hijack the D3D instantion inside acclient.exe.


Edit1: Oh and I checked - the ACLs on the VT directory are fine and the file was last updated when I was last playing AC.


Edit2: I don't know if it matters, but my errorLog.txt has:


============================================================================

We hook the D3DDevice's vtable for various things, it's easier and slightly more elegant than writing proxy interfaces.
