ExileAPI 3.12 Release

[zerger3]

I am using the Terrain plugin and it is really nice, i just noticed the that overlay is a bit misaligned. is there a chance this gets fixed by an exileapi update or is it necessary to update the plugin?

This would result in all the offsets which changed. This is in some cases interesting information, but we are mostly interested in the new offsets. I am not quite sure what you mean by "the memory address of the header", when the offsets have changed an ExileApi plugin will obviously have no information about were the correct values are stored in memory - thats the problem.
While a standard character may have some use cases, its rather limited. Mostly limited to all values which are directly character bound (e.g. life, mana, es) but those are not really a problem to find.

There are probably more promising ways to automate offset finding. E.g. using some form of pattern scanning (which is used for the "base" memory addresses already: ExileCore.PoEMemory.Offsets).



PreloadAlert works fine on my end. If its not please be a bit more extensive with your bug description. I am seeing masters, breaches, essences, ... what exactly are you missing?
There is a plugin which should be basically PreloadAlert 2.0, ProximityAlert. I have not used it personally, just heard good things from other community members.





Yes, ExileApi is still OpenSource and therefore free. The money is meant to be a bounty for the first working version. When there is some money to be made that may is a motivation for someone to spend the early hours of the league start searching offsets instead of playing.
Its totally possible to pay via Patreon and directly cancel your subcription, which results in a one time payment. If you have a suggestion for another payment handler which is not bound to such a subscription based model feel free to post it here. As mentioned earlier I will not publish my private payment information (which would include my real name) for donations for this project.

Donations are still what the word says - payment without any personal gain. If you want fast updated offsets after the league start (for everyone) you may want to donate some money to encourage others to put the work into it.

Donated, happy to support. Thanks for the work and leadership in the community. Excited to try your simplified pickit and stashie, easily the most important qol plugins for myself.

If you mean the same thing mentioned here, I have commented on that: Big differences when drawing a map . Issue #3 . mm3141/Terrain . GitHub

So, the wording was all a bit vague, but my understanding on ExileAPI for 3.13 is that when it's ready and working it will be released free for all the community.

The Patreon donations are simply an option for people to contribute towards, as a financial incentive for the other community members to come in and help Queuete complete all the required updates/testing to get ExileAPI 3.13 out the door and released to everyone as soon as possible once the new league begins.

None of the Patroen or financial donations will lead to a "private" version being made available early, then a "public" free version available later on afterwards.

Is this correct, Queuete?

I asked a similar question, reply from another user which Queuete thanked him for is @ post #460 .

@Queuete just to make sure you understand this - you just created a patreon which direct purpose is, in legal language, to aid and abet a criminal offence in a form of profiting from copyright infringement

it means ggg can easily sue you under civil law and report it to the authorities as a crime

not that they will, only that you just made it possible for them

Thanks for your input on that matter.
I did some research before opening the Patreon account and refreshed some of it just now. There are several layers to consider. First of all it would be the country I am living in which is not the US. Furthermore the question if ExileApi is doing any "copyright infringement" which is debateable, but according to most compareable cases not given. ExileApi does not alter the Game Memory in any way neither does it communicate with the PoE Servers. It does only read the memory. "Reverse engineering" can be forbidden by the games terms of service, but thats not the case for PoE.
Anyway you are totally right that money (even the low amounts we are talking about in case of this Patreon site) definitly increase the risk of legal troubles. I'll consider this and the "first working bounty" could be a one time thing and the Patreon side potentially will be closed at any time.

Yes.


The last of the "Simple" plugins is done: GitHub - Queuete/SimpleHotkeyChain
A readme with a short settings description will be added soon and it will most likely appear in the default plugins if you do a fresh download after the league start.
It allows you to bind multiple keys to one trigger key with configureable delays. (All of this and more could be done with ahk)
This might be useful for flask management in boss fights or other cases where you want to click more then one button "at once".

The default plugin list will also receive one new (old ) plugin, EliteBar - with a few modifications by me. This will probably be useful during the multi-boss fights.
GitHub - Queuete/EliteBar

Shortly after a working version for Ritual League is released I will open a new thread and lock this again. I got quite a lot of positive feedback regarding this workflow and will stick to it.
There are probably a few minor updates before the league start, dont get hyped about them ExileApi will most likely still be broken after the league patch.

Best Regards and good luck for tomorrow,

Queuete

Thanks Queuete and good luck to yourself and all the others helping get this out after 3.13 launches. We genuinely appreciate all the effort and hard work you put into producing something like this for the community, so POE doesn't feel like such a total pile of QOL'less garbage to play.

Hello community,

in joyful expectation of the new expansion I have some news about this project to share.


1. Support and next league start

Since the start of this project I got asked by a handful of people about accepting PayPal donations, especially with a new league start in mind. While I value my privacy quite high and my country requires my real full name to open a paypal account I turned those down, furthermore I got a decent paying job and not really in need of money. Nevertheless some extra as appreciation of the work done is always nice.

Therefore I started a ExileApi Patreon page: ExileApi is creating a overlay with various tools and information for Path of Exile. | Patreon

ExileApi is an interface to the memory of PoE. Depending on the size of the update of PoE this needs to be adjusted every patch. Bigger technical changes increase the workload of this task.
Furthermore some plugins require updates or new features due to the constant new leagues in PoE.
The workload is an OpenSource effort and taken on by a few community members. The ExileApi Patreon site is intended to support the contributors. While it is managed by me (Queuete) the money is intended to go to the various contributors depending on their size of workload. Who receives what amount of money will be mostly transparent, if you are interested in the past transactions and cant find them, feel free to reach out to me directly.

The raised money will be a bounty for contributions toward the first working version of ExileApi after the Ritual league start!


2. Simple Plugins

In the past PickIt was one of my favorite plugins. At some point this got rather clunky, an effort to crack down the complexity of the plugin resulted my last version of "PickIt" which is currently by default included in the HUD. - This was not really a success, while it felt slightly better compared to the original version it was still rather clunky.
The task PickIt is handling is rather simple, therefore I decided to rewrite it with the core functionality only. Picking up items.
GitHub - Queuete/SimplePickIt: Famous plugin PickIt dumbed down

Stashie is currently in use and even up to date. The Stash Affinity feature reduces its usefulness, but nevertheless Stashie got a lot more features and is still a good plugin. Due to the latest changes regarding the project structure the most up to date versions are not available with my PluginUpdater feature (for details, there is an open issue in the ExileApi repo about this topic). The underlying problem is probably not going to get solved in the near future.
To combat this problem I again wrote a plugin with the core functionality only. Dumping Items from your inventory to your stash. Together with Stash affinities this will be enough for most players and easier to configure (no external file). If you need the advanced filter logic of the current stashie please stay with the current version, at some point you may need to manually compile the most up to date version of Stashie.
GitHub - Queuete/SimpleStashie: Famous plugin Stashie dumbed down after PoE added Stash Affinities

There is a third "Simple" plugin planned, which is not as much based of an existing plugin as the current ones. This will probably be done before the next league start.

For the next league start the default configuration for the PluginAutoUpdater will include both of those SimplePlugins and Stashie. My previous PickIt version will be archived and wont be supported anymore.

Feedback and bug reports are appreciated, either directly in the Github repo or here.


3. Future general plans

The 3 topics I will try to address in the future are:
- the PluginAutoUpdater. First of all it still does not allow easily to install Updates only when directly requested. Furthermore I think the Updater is the source of the false positives for Virus detection which got reported lately. The AutoUpdater downloads code from the internet, then compiles and runs it - thats definitly "fishy". I have not come up with a real solution towards this, which would not dump the workload to Plugin developers and still gives everyone easy access to the most up to date plugin versions
- start up stability. Currently the start up fails when some features are not available (e.g. the SoundController or the GameMemory), this leads to the Updater not being available and to a forced manual new download once a new version is released. (This will most likely be the case after the league start). While obviously some features wont work when e.g. the SoundController is missing, the Hud should still load and post an according error message in the log.
- tool support for updating offsets. My custom tooling for updating offsets is still negligible. To ensure faster league starts this needs to change.


Best Regards,
Queuete

Just donated on Patreon. Every league I come back to POE and im always dying for HUD when it comes out, so a donation is the least I can do when I use your stuff every damn league. Thanks!
