I was going to download v1.1.4.17 until I saw 22 ...

Something was fixed atleast, cause I ran it and 1.1.4.17 didn't get my prefs folder right, it chose the ones belonging to my testserver installation, but 1.1.4.22 found the right one (checked by opening "ItemAssistant.conf" in notepad)

It seems that the .conf file only gets written when you exit the program by File -> Exit
Closing it with the X in the upper right corner does not write the .conf file.

Just FYI, if you just "close" it with the X in the upper right corner, I don't think this actually closes IA. It just minimizes to system tray but IA is still running.

Yes, I changed it to detect all your prefs folders no matter the your installation folder, and then NOT pick anything automatically unless I only find 1 single install.

Until I find the exact hashing algorithm used by FC I think that is as automatic as I can make it.

A bit of legacy code right there..

That concept worked much better in WinXP than Win7.

I can confirm this. Also checked conf file with AOIA 1.1.4.22 and it had right path for prefs. (in my case, C:\Users\acer\AppData\Local\Funcom\Anarchy Online\79bb37b0\Anarchy Online\Prefs)

Oh and .22 should also be able to export to the new scripts folder as well.

**cybertron** · Mar 10th, 2013, 13:59:39

Am running with the .22 build right now and have noticed that it has stopped logging items twice today(for no discernable reason). I was going through toons logging all items and noticed that after some time, it had stopped updating the database. When I checked the timestamp on the ItemAssistant.db file, I could see it hand't been updated for sometime. Have sent the logs to you for your debugging. Seems like the aoia_hook detaches itself or something...

EDIT:
Found the issue and a way of reproducing it -
1) Start IA
2) Start AO, start logging items, all working ok
3) Select a character in IA Inventory tab, and select option to export items to CSV. When asked for location, specify a location different from where IA is installed
4) Can keep logging items, etc until AO client has been shut down(fully). If using /camp to switch characters, IA will keep logging
5) Once AO client has been shut down, IA will not log any more items from then on. It seems that it's now looking for the ItemAssistantHook.dll file in the location where the CSV was exported to, and since it never finds it, never hooks again into the client

So for those of you who are using the Export Items to CSV functionality(perhaps for the server merge bp name syncing script that Misat0 wrote) be careful about this. Either log all the items first, then export CSVs at the end, and then restart IA to locate the hook dll again, or export all the CSVs to same directory as IA install so it doesn't lose the hook dll.

I found the reason my AOIA stopped working, Norton 360 is reporting the hook as having a virus in it and so deletes the program.
I'll see it i can find another dll that doesn't report a virus with Norton360 and use that.

In that case, you just need to force Norton to ignore the hook dll that IA is using somehow. I don't think you can just find another dll, as its a custom dll that was coded just for this.

boost::hash on the parent directory of the installation folder.

One thing that has been a bit annoying with AOIA is that whenever my explorer.exe crashed (which unfortunately happens quite frequently due to bad laptop), icon for AOIA disappears from system tray area but program is still running on background. It of course will continue to keep database updated but I have no way to open window for program itself. Only way I have been able to solve this has been to forcefully end process from Task Manager and then open AOIA again to get icon back to system tray area.

This can be quite annoying if it happens more than just few times per day.. As far as I know, all other icons I have in system tray area haven't disappeared when explorer.exe is crashing. Would be nice if AOIA icon wouldn't either.

Is there either a easy way to restore icon back to system tray manually (without closing AOIA and then restarting it) or would it perhaps be possible to change something about AOIA so it wouldn't do it in first place?

I downloaded the latest Zip version from Sourgeforge at http://sourceforge.net/projects/aoia...m%20Assistant/

It is still 1.1.4.0. Where do I find the newer versions mentions

This works, but with / as path delimiter, instead of \

Potentially quite easy to fix. I will look into it.

1.1.4.22 now updates BP names, im very grateful!!!

**Liwa** · Mar 11th, 2013, 19:24:29

I am using 1.1.4.22 and seems to be working well ... thank you

However,

I found a bug in Anarchy with the Backpack of Survival ...

It does not open any longer ... AND ... AOIA does not "see it" in either the bank or inventory.

Obviously AOIA also does not see what I stored inside them before merge. Zoned my toon multiple times, etc. and AOIA still does not even see the bkpk of Survival.

Kinnik

edit: I don't know if it is an isolated bag or if all bkpks of survival are bugged.
