Entropia Tracker and VU 10.0

Hello guys.
As I am sure you are aware of - we are about to enter VU 10.0. With the new graphics engine in VU 10.0 (CryEngine) it appears that MindArk has customize the Graphical User Interface (GUI), where by it will be possible to move and scale the chat. As of now, the way we obtain the global data we build Entropia Tracker on, is by means of OCRing the chat. Currently we know where the chat is, and how large it is.

It is clear that with this update to Entropia Universe we can not continue to gather global data the way we are now. This means that we have to investigate if it will be possible (read: not too cpu demanding) to have the client look for where the chat box is, and how large it is before it scans for globals.

Because we have got the same information as the rest of you do regarding the new VU and how it will look - it is impossible to say how long it will take us to make the nessesary updates to the Entropia Tracker client before we can start loggin globals again. It might not even be possible!

So when the VU comes online - do not expect Entropia Tracker to be able to catch globals the first few days (weeks prehaps). Remember, Tussi and I do also have "real life jobs" - we just do this when we get home from work, so our time dedicated to this project is limited.

Thank you for understanding.

ale to gdzie bedzie to od uzytkownika zalezy, a tracker jest badz co badz takim uzytkownikiem, wiec jezeli nic niep oprzesuwawa na ekranie to bedzie ok

raczej jakies konto regularnie robi screenshoty ktore sa nastepnie obrabiane przez OCR

oni sobie poradza -jakoÅ› dostosujÄ… swoj OCR

o ile sie nie myle to tracker nie dziala na zasadzie, ze chodzi jeden klient EU i jest skanowany chat non stop, ale info jest zbierane od uzytkownikow, ktorzy sobie sciagna odpowiedni programik i uruchamiaja go razem z EU

Ale tak czy inaczej ten programik OCRuje chat. Troche to niepotrzebne mi sie wydaje. Poco tyle
kilentów czytać, nie mógłby być wlaśnie jeden....

We are currently conducting tests on how we can read the chat box without using too much system ressources on your computers. As a fail back - there is an option to log the chat from inside Entropia Universe. If everything else fails, we can read those chat log files, and get the globals from that file.

We are working as hard as we can - keep in mind, we also would like to actually play the game, and that we also have jobs.

That said - the future for Entropia Tracker looks bright.
