HoN Info - C# Program to view HoN Information

[Buttink]

Project Home Page

Requires: GTK# for .Net on windows, 7zip

New version Beta 1.7!

Fixed b1.7: Works on Windows!!!!! However, may require installation of mono.
Added b1: Icons
Fixed b1: More error checking, overall better stability
Fixed 2.2: Configuration/Preferences error that would save nothing (corrupting config files)
Fixed 2.1: Cooldown time is in seconds, Manacost is now actualy mana cost not cooldown XP

Still needs testing but hopefully works better on windows.

possible but i dont break NDA and its not like they intentionally made it so i cant actually ... in fact i like that i can

If it wasnt metioned you have to actualy have HoN installed to use this. It gets all information from HoN nothing is included in the program.

If S2 wont do it someone can XP

Nice job. It would be cool if you could edit heroes this way, too.

Very nice, how do you extract the hero and spell information?

I'm thinking it could be awesome to use it to create an automatically updated HoN-wiki.

I was thinking about open sourcing my code just so that if anyone wanted to see how i did it they could

Basicly, S2 has xml files for every hero and ability which contain an ID (and more) which i can use to get info from a stringtable. (i get these with 7z and read with an XmlReader)

Looks pretty solid, nice work.

They will be having a website with hero information. However, a user editable wiki would be great. The s2z extension is just a renamed zip, so php shouldn't have any trouble with it. It should be easy enough to keep it updated, too. The dedicated server updates itself, and if you don't want to host a HoN server as well, you can just keep it behind NAT. The wiki could be made to reload its hero data each time the change log file gets modified.

You make a GTK+ ui designer really, really sad. If you did this in a Glade 3 compatible format (or the monodevelops editor), I'd be willing to help you sort out the interface.

You should open-source it. I'd like to take a look at it, and probably wouldn't mind getting it working in windows. Also, there's no way I (or the other people on the forum) should run some random executable from some random forum-goer.

its in monodevelop. The problem is it made with the SVN monodevelop which is epic broken as far as the Stetic designer so i cant put custom widgets in a widget i have to do it manualy + i just wanted it to work it is what im currently working on

EDIT: i got this working in 5 days cut me some slack

Yet people run random flash scripts all the time XP

created Google Code page (GUI isnt in i decided to just completely redo it)

also will be building code with mono 2.4.2.2 with monodevelop 2 (hopefully no problems)

Umm, about the wiki.... http://honwiki.net/wiki/Main_Page

Also, you can use the in-game console to generate a whole wiki (yep). It generates a xml file which can simply be imported in mediawiki, and bam you got a few hundred pages for items heroes etc.. Well, templates at least.

Anyways, back on topic:
On Winslows XP, it seems it can't figure out where 7z is placed, whenever I point it out and save, it seems to throw it away... Even if i go to properties right after showing it where, its gone. Manually choosing destination in the config doesn't help.

gar i should have tested this on windows first >.>

Its probably something stupid i did for linux that buggered up windows i apologize because i dont need a path for linux (will patch soon)

I have lots of things to patch lol When i posted this it was like .... IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Haha, I get your point, anyways I guess this is as much my fault as your's. I shouldn't be sitting on Winslows in the first place :O

Mono? :/

Its all some people know, so I'm not raising a fuss:

I was hacking around with the app too and noticed the online protocol is pretty straightforward using HTTP GET/POST and JSON. I couldn't figure out the password hash (looks like MD5) or else I would have created some program to list buddies or something. Maybe S2 could document it so people like me and others could make fun utilities for the community

You should have looked into writing this in Python as it's fairly lightweight (as in, not too computationally expensive) and would be great to have truly cross platform... and Mono/C# don't count.

I would be more than happy to port stuff to Python, but I have *no* experience with Python GTK/wxWindows GUI building.

i think mono + C# counts its just that when i made this (in hurry only 5 days) i didnt tell monodevelop to not translate so the stetic designer used the Mono.Unix namespace if i remove that then it will run with .Net and GTK# for .Net

Well anyway remaking the entire UI right now ill probably have it done tonight some time.

Edit: Forgot to mention i would love to learn python but huge projects in python also kinda hard due to python not being strongly typed (on a side note EVE Online servers are made in python because python was easyier for them to have concurrency)
