Probe helper

[drokk]

This seemed to be quite popular before so I thought I might post it up again..

To use: Unzip
Drag ProbeHelpery.py onto lolpy2.exe

Adds 4 buttons to the scanner window

Save/Load button - Hold shift and click to save probe configuration, single click
loads

Expand/Contract buttons - Pretty obvious what these do.

Center button - Centers the probes on the selected signature.

This script was in no way written by me and I can offer no support apart from what is written here. Although I'm sure there is plenty of others here who can help.

It was written by me. (The script and parts of the injector.)
I don't recommend anyone use this script.

From the upcoming patch notes:
"When holding down ‘alt’, your probes will scale around the center, making it easier to adjust them. A green line has added to make it more intuitive."

Finally, CCP is adding this feature. It works pretty well, and makes the probehelper script much less desirable. There are still some nice things about using the script, but the benefits will now be too little to justify the risk for most people.

Also, the script will likely need a small fix after the next patch, judging by the changes on the test server.

This means that probably bout the only thing different is the option to send probes to the selected result?

I have a modified version of the script. It is a combination of a few modifications from one of the posters in the original thread and myself. Some of the changes include averaging the position of signatures selected so your probe is positioned at the middle of them, and added save/ignore lists. Here's the code, save as .py and inject like you would with the original.

The script works as of the latest patch, btw. I'm not sure how risky this script is with the latest increased detection, but a few friends of mine and I have been using it for a while now and none of us ever got banned.

[Manofstone]

Been using this one for a long time now, what is this save/ignore list, saving what?

[Carcaradon]

For saving/ignoring signatures, obviously. It's useful for when you have to leave system, or keep track of different sets of filtered results.

[Manofstone]

Ah ok, I had thought you meant different saved probe setups... cool cool. :)

[Carcaradon]

Ah ok, I had thought you meant different saved probe setups... cool cool. :)

There're 3 slots for saving probe setups as well.

[Manofstone]

Oooh, very nice, thanks.

[Siffli]

Hi Guys
Thanks for yours jobs

Bad news,
ProbeHelper doesn't work with new update :confused:

[Manofstone]

Yes, i can confirm that it breaks the scanner all together.

[MDRD]

nm was drunk when posted that

[testy123]

Newest patch causes the scanner button to be unresponsive on my client.
Its only been 1/2 a day and I miss this program so much.

Please consider updating this for the new patch.

[civan]

Please cease using the ProbeHelper for now. It generates quite obvious exceptions in eve, and might trigger a banwave.

[Manofstone]

Nope, don't think probehelper will ever generate such attention as to trigger a banwave. But its up to the developer...

[civan]

Last one was half-finished mining bot, so I wouldn't bet on it. Quick fix is quite easy anyhow but I will hold a couple of days before publishing it.

[Manofstone]

Yeh, you could be right but im betting on the general importance of mining bots, they are being targeted in every form atm, due to the all known crusade going on. Of course, never too certain with the boards being monitored by watchful eyes.
