PoeHUD - Overlay for Path of Exile

[kwizimirski]

You are naive if you actually believe this. Look up Shellshock...Bash was open source for how long and this bug existed at least back into the 90's. Open source is no guarantee for anything.

You are wrong.
Since now there can be put a keylogger inside, without any control.

Embedding malware into the product is against my interests in further development of poeHud.

[SteelRat]

I contributed a small amount of code too.

Keylogger can be anywhere. If you have any doubt you can easily restict all internet access to the program.

It's really a shame to close the source, I'd have contributed but I am not anywhere near competant enough to implement the few things I had done personally with a level of elegance that I would consider required to make it worth adding to the main fork. Would it be possible to get per item type and monster alert sounds implemented into the normal builds? That is the big thing I had personally added to it.

Specifically this is the poor implementation I had put together:
if (Settings.GetBool("ItemAlert.PlaySound") && !this.playedSoundsC - Pastebin.com

I'd like to request source access please. Git name is 'not4u2kno'.

Well I guess well have to hope a keylogger isn't in there now, wouldn't take anyone's word for it though.

[Jaerin]

No one is forcing you to use it. Feel free to write your own...

You actually read through every line of code in every open source project that you download? If you actually do then you have serious trust issues and I would hate to live in your world.

He could have easily have put a keylogger in there at any time and no one would likely notice. Most of the people here admit they know less programming than is necessary to write this so why would they be competent to find nefarious code? Its naive to think that just because someone has the opportunity to read the source that does not at all mean anyone will, or if they do, will have any ability to understand it. It takes a significant amount of time to fully understand how an application even begins to fully run, let alone being able to track down every possible way someone could breach your security.

If you don't feel safe using it then don't use it. No one will feel bad that you aren't using it.

Questo non 'e possibile.

The implementation will be improved one day.

What a shame.

Oh well, now we just wait for the next person to decompile the exe to source I guess.

There will likely be protections in place against it. The source code is out there in numerous forks of the original source tree, including my own that is public. No one is saying that you can't develop the code on your own or that there won't be a binary version of this available.

What is sad is that out of the 1000 people that have visited this thread 4 people gave any type of monetary compensation of ANY kind. Plenty of demands and requests, but very little support. Hell Coyl doesn't even have contributor yet. 29 rep out of 1000 unique users? You wonder why he is taking the source down? Besides if you look most of the code pulls weren't actually merged. Coyl often implemented things in a different way with the intention of future plans.

Quit expecting everything for free and actually put your money where your mouth is. But I don't have any money! 1000 users at $1 each...you don't have a dollar? People like to talk a lot of I support this and I support that, but when it comes down to it they don't support shit. Happy to criticize and complain when things don't work the way they want, but rarely even a thanks for the hard work. If you want people to give you shit, you need to encourage people, not constantly criticize.

And yes, I'm one of the 4. I've personally given $100 in support. So what's your excuse?

[noneyatemp]

I would rather keep it closed source. Less GGG knows the better. Thanks Coyl.

[SteelRat]

Me? I never demanded anything or made any criticizing comments. I don't have a job or pro coding skills. I'm not allowed to spend money on the internet without permission.

Edit: And I'm very grateful for Coyl's work.

Just curious, having read the first post and the FAQ, where is the donate button/link?

I would have donated money if I saw it. I did give him rep a month or so ago along with the sounds/arrows I submitted.
