GameHelper: A light version of PoeHUD/Exile-Api

[GameAssist]

Hey uh, in all the confusion about languages I didn't see any one mention that they are getting crashes about 10 seconds into a map in delerium mode. Is it just me or is this common for this version?

MB was running 213 from the OP instead of 219.

we have the latest version 220

oh already answered - thanks @Rukola_1

It is imperative to provide the program with minimal configuration files for each of the plugins, which will allow each of them to work at least with a starting set of functionality.

That’s a good idea but implementing this idea is very difficult because of the limitations we have ( i.e less offsets ) and the number of ways flasks can be configured in path of exile game.

I can provide a default config for flask manager with 2 life flask, 1 mana flask but I know that will not be enough.


Do you (or anyone over here) have a better mechanism without increasing the offsets?

Yeah I created last release in a hurry, will update the first post today/tomorrow.

Potentially more work than it is worth, but you can potentially do an initial walkthrough tutorial type thing thats like... "Would you like to configure the flask manager?" and if yes is pressed, it takes you there and walks you through a couple things to get you started.

Improving UX like that is like... an entire person's job so I really wouldn't expect you to do it... just an idea haha. Other than that, just a default 'Heal when low health, mana potion when low mana" is probably good enough of a start for someone to see as an example.

How can I figure out why the map hack is not working? I reinstalled windows. Health bars work, preload alert too, but maphack does not. I have installed Microsoft .NET Runtime. Did i miss something?

From 1st page.
220 is working, ty

I might be stupid, but what is the use of Launcher.exe? When I run it, I get the error "Failed to launch GameHelper due to: System.Exception: Bad process path detected (PoE), please move it to a more inconspicuous location". I've tried to move my game folder and my GameHelper folder but it didn't matter. I got no idea what an "inconspicuous location" is supposed to mean.
Also if I have my GameHelper folder on my Desktop, then the same error but with "path detected (Desktop)".
If I run GameHelper.exe directly, everything work fine I guess?
So yea I'm confused.

Just rename your folder to any random name that doesn’t contain words such as: Poe, helper, overly and etc.

Oh I see, I had my root folder named PoE and it was causing this. Thanks! (I had a bunch of sub-folder, didn't think that would matter)

I'll just elaborate on what it actually does. It's a bit of theoretical protection against possible future detection, we try to hide as much information as possible about the process, hence the use of a separate launcher to prepare the main binary. One of the things it does is ensure that the main binary is not launched from a path that contains some obvious POE-related jargon, or, in case with desktop, popular location for "just download and launch it" software.

I would also be dumbfounded by a message like "inconspicuous place"
Your idea is clear, but its implementation is not well thought out.
At the first start, you need to show the user a modal dialog with the button "Understood, I'll rename it now", with instructions for renaming GameHelper.exe manually on your own.
On subsequent launches, check (inside GameHelper.exe ) with what name and from what folder it is launched.
If the folder name or exe is invalid, continue to show the same modal dialog with instructions and do not start the program core
As a result, only one exe file will remain in the program folder.
In your implementation, there are 3 exe files in the folder, and it also contains GameHelper.exe, which I can run without problems bypassing the launcher, thereby eliminating all your work on creating it.

I think the program is fine, let’s not delve into minor details. Also, it’s optional launcher. Users can use GameHelper.exe software directly if they do not want additional potential protection provided by this launcher.

Also, in the future, my plan is to upgrade launcher to provide automatic updates to GameHelper. Implementing that feature would be much better than solving such minor problems.

yes this is a great idea - we really need this option

New update, GH seems to crash.

New update, GH seems to crash.

wow there is still someone playing POE just 2 weeks from new league start
This POE update from GGG really fucks things up for GameHelper (it's a major change). so will try to fix it ASAP.

I am glad this happened now rather than new league start.
