PSOBB Addon Plugin (Lua UI addons)

Turns out it wasn't that tedious after all. I made some modifications to Jake's script. Here's what I have so far

It's a fun tool to mess around with. Thank you Eidolon and ToasterMage.
 
I was wondering about the crashing causing PSOBB to crash entirely: is it related to drawing on the game window (Eidolon GUI), or is it related to reading from memory (Jake drop checker)?

If it's the GUI I might go with my original plan because it's safer.
 
@Eidolon @ToasterMage Awesome tools, thank you very much! Looks very promising for the future of PSO :)
Now i have a question, is that possible to modify the colors and transparency of the windows without being a coder? Would love to make DropChecker match my HUD!
 
Not right now. But it's just in it's alpha stages. I'm sure the future will entail more development. Regardless, it's such good work!
 
Since there's been a few users a little concerned about plugins like this due to them being 3rd-party and possibly "cheating", I've added a small disclaimer to Eidolon's post (I hope he doesn't mind) that 3rd-party tools on Ephinea are 100% allowed as long as they don't allow players to hack or change the game in any way.

Memory readers and UI hooks (i.e. tools to only add and improve) are perfectly fine.
 
well, thought it had it. so the first link into the ephineapso folder, then second into the drop down add on in the psobbplugin? i can see the helloworld etc, but it wont display. any ideas?

once everything's dropped in, I get system error: msvcp140.dll is missing from computer.

So according to this, if someone adds a plugin/tool that tells you if there are rare enemies and where, that's perfectly fine since it's only reading memory. ez farm gg.

I've also seen people casually claim around the forums macros are allowed whichever means you can read whatever from the client and send macros to the game. This also means that bots are legit regardless of what it does (leveling mag, player, item farming bot, etc.).

Where is the gray line? Is there even one?

Obviously botting isn't allowed, there's an obvious line that I'd hope people have common sense not to cross.

I'm not going to ban programs like this because of "consistency" though, that's just limiting.

Let's not derail this thread though.

You need the 2015 visual c++ redistributable I think.

Hi guys i'm having a similar problem i think. I followed the instructions Spuz gave:

"Your computer > program files > ephineaPSO

Eidelons link extracts 3 items. 'Dinput8.dll, readme and addon folder'. Which all need to be placed into your 'ephineaPSO' folder (like dizzy mentions). Then extract the link for drop checker into the addon folder."

But when i go to start the game via the launcher i get two errors. I may have extracted the folders incorrectly or put them in the wrong place, but i'm not sure. Kinda a noob at all this. Any help would be appreciated :)

Also i have Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x64) - 14.0.24212 installed. I've posted screenshots below

Thank you. Yes that was the missing step. I installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x86) and now the drop checker is working well :)
 
I don't have a license to Visual Studio that lets me distribute the redistributable with the plugin, so it's up to everyone else to grab it themselves, unfortunately.

This plugin will never support writing directly through the Lua API. If it ever supports writes, it will only support writing to predetermined bits of memory through opaque APIs.

Something that I figured wouldn't be too hard to implement was a memory searcher interface that can be used by Lua side, so that someone could implement a Cheat Engine-esque addon for looking for values. There is the memory reader there already, but it's not tremendously useful since you can't search with it.

Pull requests are welcome. The code isn't very clean and could use a lot of work.

When other admins state that botting mags is OK in lobby - the line isn't so obvious. Thanks for the clarification.

I asked matt in the lobby directly about this in the past due to a hand injuy. I never ended up making a script, but he sure said we could x.x

Maybe he didn't fully read what he was replying to (I'm assuming a completely auotomated level/item farm bot would be bad, but mag feed is fine)
 
This has a lot of qol pottential. How hard would it be to add a mag feed timer? I play and feed at the same time so it would help track time.
