I can't get it to work. I'm using TortoiseHG and the hg-git. The program says the repo was pushed but github has nothing. I'm just going to upload the stupid thing. https://github.com/MakariAeron/eve-o-preview

FoxFour, let me know what your username is on github and I'll add you to the contributors list. And if you want to figure out how to convert the hg to git, be my guest. I tried for 4 hours and decided to do "real" work finally.

Pretty much. Added you. For those still watching this thread, I'm going to unwatch it since there's a new thread I created so I can change the title and the OP. Better than having to poke a ISD/GM/Dev to ninja edit the main post all the time.

Might be if you close it and the last port give link to the new one. ask ccp to close this after you post.

Yo, activity in this thread!

I was unsubbed for a long time.

Makari, I'd appreciate if you would try and reach out to me before "taking over".

That said, I don't have a problem with an active player (and CPP staff for that matter) driving it, but can we please do this within the original repo?

Catch me on the bitbuckets/githubz as ulph.

My apologies. Your corpmate made it sound as if you had given up EVE for a time; however, the mistake was entirely mine. The project is still yours. When I get home tonight I'll push things to my fork on bitbucket and send a pull request to the original repo. Some folks (myself included) don't really know how HG/Mercurial works so I switched it to github on request. Once we get it all sorted out I'll ask them to close my thread.

Again, my apologies.

I think it's fine if you want to officer the project in my abscense, so for all I care keep the new thread. Do try and get rid of all these forks tho, and I just give you full access to the original one.

If HG really is that painful I may look at migrating the thing.

Will do. It's not really "painful" as it is "foreign". I just need to read up on it tomorrow while "working" is all.

I've been using this for quite some time. I run 3 accts on one monitor and this allows me to monitor all the screens at once. The problem I have is that the previews overlap when I switch through all three. I always have to seperate them again or limit myself to switching between only two clients.

very nice tool.
a problem ive encounted , since i like to test some fits on the test server.
if the account is active on tranq and singu at the same time , the program creates 2 previews
of the character screen , but they are ontop eachother. moving one causes the other to move with it :)

a very minor issue , but still .. ;)

After reading this i'd like to have an official respose from CCP about this EVE-O program if it's safe to use or could get my accounts banned.
Even Devs are using it

but it's obviously part of what has been said, would be bannable...

Doesn't modify anything in the eve program. Does no macros. Adds an overlay window (basically it's a windows program). Discussion about this was brought up with isboxer. The window displays are fine there. Same here.

It was the rest of isboxer that was the problem.

There's no problem with this program.

Yaay!!!!

You can even still use IsBoxer, as long as you don't use the "braodcast" / duplicate key function (Or technical workarounds like "rollover keys")

So yes, this Program is fine.

Thanks for you answers, but you two won't save me from being banned right? Looking at the Dev activity here, it should be possible to get an official response right?

They will never ever say "Program X" is ok. They will just say you are not allowed to f.x. use macros. It does not matter if you build a Robot out of wood, use a macro keyboard and code something. The act itself is forbidden, not the how you do it. So they will never use names.

But this program does not use Macros, or dublicate keys. Read the thread you linked again. It's not about multiboxing itself, it's just about "Input Broadcasting & Input Multiplexing" For example pressing F1 a single time and yet 5 clients get the command. This program does NOT do it. It's just a preview of the client.

I say it's risk free to use it.

Read the quote i'm referring to to the end and maybe a few post before an after that one. It's about the VideoFx feature so it's basically what EVE-O does.

"You may not use your own or third-party software to [..] change how the Game is played."

Good game ccp!
That could be anything.

Going off of this post, there is no input automation in EVE-O Preview.

CCP Falcon wrote:

Examples of allowed Input Broadcasting and Input Multiplexing are actions taken that do not have an impact on the EVE universe and are carried out for convenience:

• EVE Online client settings
• Window positions and arrangements (of the EVE Online client in your operating system’s desktop environment)
• The login process


Bolded items are things that EVE-O preview does.

6A2: this should probably be clarified more, but judging by the fact that is says "within the game" in this section, and EVE-O Preview does not modify game files, it's allowed
6A3: EVE-O Preview does not do this. Though note the wording; "gain in-game [insert type here]". Which means *in thoery* you could use 3rd party software to do Speech-To-Text for those without hearing
