Impossible.

Who knows? Only himself, so let's wait for his answer

I think the "Players online" - window should be a little bit wider, because some names are too long.

I thought I could create my own groups in there?
And I think they are more than 100 players.
And why I´m existing twice.

Nope, you can create your own groups as described in the illnamegroups.dat included in the onlineviewer.zip.

That's not an error in the decode algorithm, but content of the file if people introduced to you before and again after the format change of the names.dat file.

I'm going to release version 2.8 today.

Shivoc was so kind to send me the real location where the server stores its online statistics so I don't have to parse the HTML file anymore. This saves traffic and cpu time.

I've also increased the width of the "players online" - list and added a horizontal scrollbar in case a name's still too long.

The window position of the Online Players Viewer will get stored now.

Other design changes: I've removed the Windows borders and replaced the close and minimize icons by ones that fit into the current design.

If you have any recommendations I'll try to include them too.

I thought you weren't supposed to know ingame who was online? Wasn't there a system that used to tell you when someone logged in, but they deleted it because it was bad roleplay? Isn't this the same thing? Sorry, but I just found that confusing.

The Online Players Viewer doesn't make any ingame changes so I don't think it'll disturb roleplaying as you can also access the online player stats at this website.

Thanks

I've released version 2.8. For details check http://illarion.moo3.at/download.php.

Feedback is welcome of course.

Would it be possible to save the location of the NAMES.dat if it is somewhere else than in the same folder with the viewer?
So I wouldn't have to search the file everytime the program is run.

Bladefist · Post by **Bladefist** » Sat Aug 16, 2003 12:08 pm

That should already be done.

The path is saved in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Online Viewer\

After about half a year I had time to work on the Illarion Online Players Viewer again. Today version 2.91 has been released. Here are the changes from version 2.8 to 2.9 (2.91 were bugfixes):

Players with existing comments are marked with a "+" in front of their names.
Now you have also the opportunity to save comments to characters displayed in your names.dat content view (simpy by clicking on their names like it was already possible in the online list).
Duplicate entries in your decoded names.dat file will be ignored.
I've added a groupfile editor which should help you managing your own local groupfile (illnamegroups.dat).

Thanks to Giandor and Josefine for their suggestions!

Vieleicht könnte mal jemand im Deutschen erklären um was es hier geht.
Ich denke es gibt einige, nicht nur mich, die es auch interessieren würde was es hier so Tolles gibt.

Danke

Nun der Onlineviewer von Blade ist ein Programm ,indem man die Leute,die derzeit online sind, sieht zu ihnen kann man dann noch informationen dazuschreiben und irgendwie noch in gruppen einteilen.Bin nicht ganz auf den stand der neusten Version is aber nicht schlecht gemacht.

Ja, das kommt ziemlich hin. Dazu kommt noch, dass man einen Blick auf sämtliche introduced Chars werfen kann, und die Nummern dieser bekannten Leute auch gleich in der Onlineliste mit angezeigt werden. Es ist etwas umständlich zu erklären, am besten mal den Screenshot auf der Webseite anschauen - der zeigt einmal die Grundfunktionen.

[Edit] Ich habe jetzt noch eine ausführlichere, deutsche Beschreibung geschrieben:

Der Online Players Viewer ist ein praktisches kleines Programm um zu sehen welche Spieler sich zur Zeit in Illarion befinden. Diese werden in einer Liste aufgeführt und, wenn sie sich bereits vorgestellt haben, wird ihre Nummer daneben angezeigt. Außerdem können die Charakter in Gruppen (z.B. Gilden) eingeteilt werden was es leichter machen sollte zu sehen ob Spieler gewisser Gruppen online sind. Zusätzlich können noch zu jedem Charakter Notizen gespeichert werden, welche man über einen einfachen Klick auf den entsprechenden Spieler in der Online-Liste abrufen und editieren kann.
