Title: Watcher for 2.5 Assists (AssistWatcher)
Post by: Stoop!dMonkey on Friday, September 19, 2014, 18:16:23 PM
Hello,

I recently started playing in AA 2.5 on tablet (I was curious about performance impact) and in meantime I wrote small Windows program to watching new game rounds, something similar to old AA Watcher. It only display prompt on screen when new round was started. I tested it on Windows 8.1 64bits. Program needs more further improvements, but has basic functionality.

.NET 3.5 is required for older Windows version. Sometimes tells about new rounds little too late, so it's not reliable in timing. Please notify me about problems so I will try to fix it. Prompt must be closed to monitor another round launch..

Cheers

Ah man, nice work but this is now built into Assist directly and will be in the next update.

It's great news. Assist can be more capable in timing accuracy than my program.

Oh man, that is such poor timing. I feel sorry for you Monkey... ELiZ JUST implemented this feature.

But, good work. I'd encourage you to continue this, some players may still want it in other conditions. I would suggest searching for ArmyOps automatically. Usually, the Assist AA exe is in %appdata%\25Assist\armyops\system\ArmyOps.exe

Sorry for poaching the idea, yesterday.
Since you are using ArmyOps.log for detections of round end, and that I know that the 25Assist client prunes the log in intervals, I knew it would be an inaccurate way of detecting round ends.

So I build it into the client instead. and will be available in the 8.13 version that will soon be out.

Still Assist isn't yet updated so I rewrite my AssistWatcher to improve timing accuracy. Now should inform exactly after new round. Program require administrator rights to working (launch as administrator from right menu or option in compatibility tab). Poping message need to be closed to inform about next round. Program can be minimized to tray.
