Tigeress · Jul 6, 2008

Cantbe and I use this as it is so easy to use, I would recommend it:D

Griph · Jul 6, 2008

Nope, I always keep track of my skills manually :)

But do you know if the Skill Scanner has been updated for the new VU 9.2 skill window interface?

I have heard of it, I could see the point of it but couldn't be bothered :). I have used the chipping optimizer.

I think your poll needs another response itto: No never heard of it - wow will give it a go

I answered the question to quickly. I thought you meant the in-game scanner, used for Canley, DOH!

I, like Phunksta, ( Sorry Phunk ) have never heard of it either.

I just take periodic looks at my skills and wonder..."Wow! What is that one for?" "Six in that? Hmm...Is that why I can't find any decent loots?" " What will this screen look like in CryEngine? Will I be able to shoot through rocks still?" "I wonder if Nutter is on?"

mm yes phunky, maybe i overlooked that posibility
What I for sure overlooked was Kets :D, from now on all my polls will have a "kets opition"

Anyway for you guys who never have heard of the skill scanner or any other tool for keeping track of your own skills. Take a look at Jdegree's software.
Its very easy to use and easy to install

When was this exactly?Where do you want me to take it?I think you mean "it's" or "it is" not "its". Do you think robots can do to use and easy to install.

seems to be a good a good program but i'm a bit of a dunce and cant figure out how to use it

itto · Jul 8, 2008

OK
There is not much to configure, once it installed

Open up the Scanner

Log in to PE

Open your skill board

press "Print Screen" for each section you like to screen

Here is the original

Get the following file: http://jdegre.net/pe/scanner/Scanner_0_15.zip

and extract the file "Scanner.jar" in your desktop; ~200 Kb, really tiny Simply double-click the jar file, and it will launch the app (no installing, nothing, it's a executable jar). Note that the "jar" file format is similar to zip format, but double-clicking on it should not invoke a zip program (or any other compression program). If this is what your PC is doing after a double-click, it is most probably due to an incorrect Java installation; please reinstall it

Once the program is launched, wait until it initializes, takes 2-3 seconds, you will hear a confirmation sound

Now, in EU, show the skills panel; you can move it around, and the app will try to find it, but it must be completely visible; then, just hit PrntScrn (IMPORTANT: if you're in windowed mode, you should hit Alt+PrntScrn, because this will capture only the active window instead of the whole desktop, and it will make the program to run much faster); you should hear the typical camera capture sound

Check the bottom part of the app, just to see if there is some error message; there are a lot of verbose info displayed there, with details of what the app is doing; the processing takes usually 3-4 secs.

If everything goes fine, the table should be filled with the scanned skills, and you will hear a confirmation sound (note that during the scanning process you cannot capture any other screen); the working mode of the program is to process completely one screen at a time, instead of capturing everything and process all the screens at the same time; please, keep this in mind

Repeat with the rest of skill windows and check if the scanned values are correct; you can sort the skill table by "skill value" both in EU and in the application, so it is easier to check (if you choose alphabetical sorting, there are certain differences in the way the sorting is done in the application and in EU)

The total number of your skills is calculated on the fly, as you keep scanning the different skill panels in EU, and displayed on the bottom of the skills table; note that there are two values which are not real skills (Reputation and Promoter Ranking), and their values are not added to the total

Try saving the file; you can select any directory and specify any file name and extension, but if you select the "Use default" checkbox, the application creates one by default called "skills_[date]_[time].csv" in the same directory where the app was launched from

Try exporting to the Chipping Optimizer; you will need to enter the user and password of your account, and you can make the application remember them for you. Note that the Chipping Optimizer rounds skill values to the closest integer
