  7. This is a guide that will help you to, with UAC enabled (for higher security), start the PSO-related apps in any order/at any time without crashing PSO. THE ISSUE: PSO crashes whenever a UAC prompt is displayed and the PSO apps - PSO BB, Destiny Reader, AHK scripts - all trigger UAC prompts when launching. THE SOLUTIONS: Listed below are some of the potential solutions. Disable UAC Prompts Globally: Lowers the security on the machine by allowing unknown actors to secretly make unauthorized system changes without your knowledge. (Not recommended) Disable UAC Prompts Selectively: Utilize advanced techniques to launch selected apps without UAC prompts, leaving the prompts on for all unrelated applications. (Suggested) Solution #2 is what is covered in this guide. For this guide, we are specifically using Task Scheduler Tasks and Task Scheduler Shortcuts to circumvent UAC prompts for PSO apps only. That might sound complicated, but below is a step-by-step guide to make it less daunting. GUIDE: Creating a Task Scheduler Task & Shortcut Launch the Task Scheduler Click on the start menu Type and select "Task Scheduler" Create a Task Scheduler Task In the left hand pane, make sure "Task Scheduler Library" is selected In the right hand pane, click "Create Task..." Give it a name Note: You'll need this name in step 3.2 below. Tick "Run with highest privileges" Note: This skips the UAC prompt and runs it with admin privileges. Click the "Actions" tab in this popup Click "New..." Click "Browse..." Browse to the target executable and select it. Example: DestinyReader v0.9.17.exe Click the "Conditions" tab Un-tick "Stop if the computer switches to battery power" and "Start the task only if the computer is on AC power" Click "OK" to finish creating the task. Create a Task Scheduler Task Shortcut For simplicity of the guide, go to your Documents folder and right-click and select "New > Shortcut" Note: The New>Shortcut prompt is blocked in admin-only folders like C:\Program Files, which is why I'm suggesting your "Documents" folder. In the "Type the location of the item" input box type "C:\Windows\System32\schtasks.exe /run /tn "[TaskName]"" Note: Don't include the outside quotation marks. Replace [TaskName] with the name you chose in step 2.3. Click Next Give the shortcut a name Click Finish Optionally, move the shortcut to the intended target folder. For example, I keep mine in my PSO installation folder, but I created them in my documents folder due to the note mentioned in step 3.1.1 above. Ta-Da! Now when you double-click this shortcut it'll launch the target application with admin privileges without a UAC prompt. Go launch your Destiny Reader like a pro with full security.

  12. Destiny Reader Update!

    Please add an option to turn the map item labels to be always-on instead of just on-hover. To combat congestion, make the labels semi-transparent, so that map items hidden underneath any label - especially always-on labels - can still be seen through the label(s). This should help in a moderately-filtered scenario to identify quickly in a room with 4 green items which one is the lv 30 tech compared to the other 3 trimates. There would still be some overlap conflicts, but nothing that can't be managed by either the user turning the optional feature off - such as in unusually high density rooms - or filtering more aggressively. I doubt it'd be worth fancy repositioning logic for a more automatic resolution.

  16. hi!

    FYI, the game will crash whenever the Windows UAC opens up. This is the prompt you get whenever you need to start a program in admin mode. The Destiny Reader and any AutoHotKeys you have need to be started in admin mode, making both likely culprits. One way to handle this is to start all other admin programs before launching PSO. This way is less forgiving; if you hop in the game w/o Destiny Reader, be prepared to have to shut it down and start over again to get Destiny Reader running. Another way is to create Task Scheduler admin tasks for all the PSO-related admin programs and start each one via task scheduler shortcuts. This skips the UAC prompt and saves the day for PSO, letting you launch Destiny Reader while PSO is running! This is what I do. To find out how, just google for "Task scheduler admin shortcuts" and it should take it from there.

  18. In the Destiny Reader add-on - thanks for making that, by the way! - how do we filter out normal weapons that have less than a given hit amount? This is very useful for Calibur hunting for Dark Flow, for instance. I remember doing this in another drop reader, but I can't find a way to do this here. Please let me know what I'm missing, thanks!
  19. Is the 'PSOBB Input Map' Tool Allowed?

    Thanks for your contribution to the Key Remapper utility, it is handy! The improvement you proposed would be great! My use case for remapping keys is, as a keyboard-only user, I prefer using only WASD/arrows/numpad for ergonomic reasons. On the numpad I prefer to have my hotkeys, menu shortcut, F2 (equip), and a quick-menu shortcut (ctrl+chat, unable to make with current tools). The issue with it running system-wide is that when I have many programs running on my machine and are performing various tasks, the system-wide implementation often interferes with other tasks, requiring me to turn it off and turn it back on in between tasks; a mild or noteworthy annoyance, depending on how frequently I'm changing tasks and how much it affects the other tasks. BTW: it turns out that the PSO Input Map program doesn't work with this client, probably due to a changed process name or something of the sort, as it gives a process not found error.
  20. Hello, I've noticed that third party tools are strictly regulated here. I'm also a diehard keyboard player, and there's one tool that could help me. But, since it's a third party tool, I wanted to ask here to be safe, as I don't want to get in trouble. Please advise, thanks! Is the PSOBB Input Map program allowed for use here? It remaps keys the way the ingame UI does, by modifying the mappings on our server profiles. It allows us to remap any key exposed in the Keyboard Config vanilla UI. As a reminder, many keypresses in that UI are locked and uneditable, or just for show, and this tool resolves that. You can find it here: link to page, link to file Just to clarify, I'm not speaking of the Key Remapper program. That one runs on the OS and aggressively takes 0-9 presses and simulates numpad 0-9 presses. This means it also interferes with all other programs running on the machine. To my knowledge, this is the only way to remap the hotkeys to the numpad. One noteworthy issue I've noticed with it is that people can back themselves into a corner if they mess up crucial keypresses such as confirm, cancel, menu, or the directionals. One user had a huge issue after mapping confirm and cancel to the same key; they couldn't undo the mapping and, after reloading the game, they couldn't even get past the character select screen! So, beware. In such cases, the server admins/devs have to manually remediate their account's button configuration server-side. Having the default template available for copy/paste purposes in such cases could save some headache. Also, having a personalized version of this with more safety rails - like a reset to default option - could definitely be an advantage.
  21. Destiny Reader: Hit Filter?

    Thanks for that clarification. Is there any chance the devs could add another input box in its configuration menu for the hit threshold to use in that filter, please? That way we could filter out any normal weapons under 50% hit, for instance, if we didn't want to see them.
  22. Is the 'PSOBB Input Map' Tool Allowed?

    Thank you for your understanding! So, if I go through with this and my cat jumps on my backspace key while re-doing my mapping for confirm - causing a terminal same-confirm/cancel key scenario - it might be time to make a new account, right? Beware, guys! Be very careful with this tool.
  23. Hello, thank you for this service! I'm excited to explore this server, as I'm a big fan of the customizations. Before I get too invested, it would be nice to get an honest assessment of if this is a good place to start a new account. 1. There's very few people online (~20 right now), will I normally struggle to find players? 2. Looking through the drop rates, they don't seem much higher than Ephinea (which I assume is close to retail?). Many are 1/1000 and PWand still has a 1/300k. Will this still have the mindless and sometimes endless grind for items? I don't have as much free time as when I was younger for that. I was really excited to see the front page ad that the drop rates are increased, but the drop tables took away that excitement. 3. Are the best custom items unobtainable? I remember in oldschool SCHTSERV - before the accounts got wiped and it went back to boring vanilla mode - it was practically impossible to get Rainblow if you missed its original event, for instance. Which was a shame, as that sword was awesome. 4. What are the best tips and advice for a new account on this server? Thanks for your time, I look forward to speaking with you all.
