[Farming Utility] Loot Alert

[marlboro69]

I have a feeling that the uploaded rar file to MediaFire is keep getting Infected.
I did some checks on the versions i downloaded recently:
...

I PM'd Evoker about this matter with all details provided in order to clarify truth behind the suspicious versions swarming lately.
Until that gets sorted, i wouldn't use LA. (I stopped using it since the first appearance of an infected 106a release.)
I tried to manually compile the latest version (with .NET v4.0.30319) without success. I don't want to bother others with the manual compiling procedure, but if anyone managed to compile from source, please let me know how you did it.

Not gonna have the exe download here for now, cannot guarantee it's clean. If you want it either compile (visual studio or something) or download from blizzhackers for now

I am now trying to compile with Visual Studio 2012, but build is failing due missing resources.. see attached screenshot.
Are you sure the link to source 1.0.6a.rar (Size: 39091 bytes) in OP contains all the files needed?





update #1:
Finally I managed to compile from source with VS2012 after manually removed the missing resources (rightclick on the missing resources in Solution Explorer then choose Exclude From Project).
After build, i half tested it as well. Ran Diablo III, then ran LootAlert as well, it found the process... so it seems working, but i didn't dare to login yet while LootAlert was present in memory.
I also checked the compiled LootAlert.exe with VirusTotal, and it resulted in 0 / 46, seems clean according to this check.

update #2:
Interesting fact that my compiled exe has 72192 Bytes in size which does match to the precompiled version i downloaded on 12th of Dec.
I scanned my version and the precompiled version several times, and VirusTotal says about mine is clear (0 / 46), while the precompiled has 1 / 46 result.

So far it seems that the provided sources are clean (you have to manually fix in order to be able to compile, see instructions in update #1), and it is recommended to build from source rather than download a precompiled one.

update #3:
If you have a version with a VirusTotal report with only "Symantec: WS.Reputation.1", you can ignore that. That is not a virus. (sidenote: stay away from symantec produtcs)
If you want to read more about it, google for "WS.Reputation.1" and read the first few hits.

damn i feel like an idiot having been farmed so many runs without this tool
Been looking ofr something like this for ages.
Thanks dude!

Not sure what to do here, my PC is clean according to my AV and malwarebytes, so I'm assuming someone got my password through ownedcore but I don't really know. Anything I write in the OP will obviously be edited away the next time someone acquires my password, still I added the real DL link again. Any ideas?

yo man! where is the program? I only found source files in the first post tho.

Greetings, I am Game Master Cyclanyx.

Thanks for getting on to us about this.

Please note we do not support "addons" for Diablo 3. This is not a game like an MMO which is designed to be modified.
The program you're mentioning is a 3rd party program which seems to interact with Diablo 3's files. I would not be surprised if people were banned for using this, as we simply don't support 3rd party programs for interaction with Diablo 3.

While I don't question it's function, I would assume that users of more harmful 3rd party programs would claim they were also harmless. I'd also assume that the people who made the rules that we don't support 3rd party programs wouldn't really care about their function.

However this sounds like a reasonable suggestion to be implemented to the game. If you'd like to voice your thoughts on this to our developers, I recommend you post on our forums at Forums - Diablo III to make your opinion heard.

I hope this helps, and wish you all the best and good luck.

Just heads up, don't know if this has been posted before.

Not sure what to do here ...

Nothing to be honest. It is the people responsibility if they decide to use the program or not, as well as virus checking and whatnot.
I checked all the sources briefly and managed to compile myself, and it all seems clean and working.
Very nice tool btw!

My theory: blizz won't take action against Loot Alert because it is the only sane way to track drops for Multiboxing users and they allow multiboxing due to their greed, so doubt they will screw with multiboxers.

Just wanted to ask if there was some sort of bug or something regarding sound files? I have all my sound files in the same folder as the .exe and every single time I have tried changing the alert sounds it gives me "error loading sound files". I have gotten this program to work once with these custom sound files (oh, i downloaded the Barny and Gangnam Style .wav's posted earlier), but ever since restarting my computer the sounds went back to default and it won't let me change them. Has anyone else had this issue? I love the program, but I can't figure out why it isnt working right anymore.

any1 at all?

Y then a Multiboxers 1 2 3 complains about been banned for using Loot Alert?

[marlboro69]

TheBarnicle: Never experienced that issue. All i can think of is that your sound files might be in a custom format that LA cannot play.

mihabolil: Probably they used an infected LA, or bot programs.

How hard would it to be to change the source to be able to send a key stroke every time an event is triggered?

I would like to automatically send the keystroke "esc" every time a gob appears so i can pause the game.
I know a little c# but am not sure where to begin looking in source.

If anyone can shed some insight ill toss you a few bugs and let you in on a neat trick

[Evozer]

Well the absolute easiest way would be to edit the code where the program decides if a sound should be played (inside LootAlert.cs for example), find out if the object that was found is a goblin (using its Name for example) and in that case send a keystroke using SendKeys.SendWait("{ESC}") or another keyboard emulation function.

Is it possible for LA to find elite packs aswell? Tracking perks like vortex, arcane, jailer etc and notify?

Pretty handy tool, been using it for awhile now!
