Ryzom Information Tool

[hellmantwo]

I developed a tool for the Ryzom Coding contest and would like to publish it to you as well, as I already did on the german forum.

The tool is called Ryzom Information Tool and is Java Standalone Application based on Java 1.6.

Current Version is 1.2

It is based on a plugin concept and the following plugins are already available:

Character Plugin

• Displays Character details like guild, crystalls, dappers, HP, skills and some more
• Displays the inventory (bag, meckis, appartment), that is sortable, filterable and searchable
• Displays mats of the inventory with their stats

Guild Plugin

• Displays Guild details like guild members, crystalls, dappers, ...
• Displays the inventory of the guildhouse, that is sortable, filterable and searchable
• Displays mats of the inventory with their stats

MatBrowser Plugin

• Displays almost all materials with their stats in their categories

More details can be found at http://www.ndewitt.bplaced.net/
Update: Content has moved to a faster server. Use new URL above.

Give me feedback and if someone can help with some GUI-related translations into french, i would be glad.

Any chance of pointing me to the documentation related on obtaining the API key for my characters? I remember stumbling on it by accident, but now I'm completely unable to find it again.....

Thanks I was returning to edit my original post and say that I had managed to find it by logging in on Ryzom in all possible ways.....
Linear search FTW

Edit: ok, I've tried the program and it doesn't even start: I get a window saying "Another instance is already running on the database." and then it crashes.... are there any special requirements (libraries, configurations) for it to run?

HI,

i just rechecked the downloaded binary of 16MB with my Suse 10 and a JRE 1.6.0_12 and it works.
So it is not a principle problem of the binary. All needed libs are included.

I would like to discuss this special Problem via PM, but ishark has not enabled it.

So some informations:
After unzipping RyzomInformationTool_V1.2.zip you should see the following files/dirs:

• derby.log - file
• InfoDB - directory with the DB (starts with upper case i)
• lib - lib with needed libraries
• plugins - directory with plugin content
• ryzominfotool.jar - file with the executable

As your logs say:

java.sql.SQLException: Database 'InfoDB' not found.

This has something to do with the database.
Check if in the directory you unzipped the content to, is
a) the directory InfoDB existend (check case)
b) the directory with the content has read/write access for the executing user.

The message

Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":1129.0"

is something else - system dependent with your JRE and your linux/Display. Possible not the showstopper for you.

I would appreciate, if we could further disuss the problem solving via PMs. The result will be posted here later on - if there was any.

I updated it now.

[*] InfoDB - directory with the DB (starts with upper case i)

Ok, it's this. The case is wrong (it's infodb) and while this doesn't matter on window, it definitely matters on linux.
Extracting with unzip -U to force "keep character case" worked and it now starts fine (I'll play with it to see if everything works).

is something else - system dependent with your JRE and your linux/Display. Possible not the showstopper for you.

This one is related to being on a remote NX session which doesn't support all the latest and greatest additions to the X protocol (I think). Almost all X applications say it when ran.

Thanks a lot for the help, I had not thought about the case conversion when unzipping an archive originating from windows.

[hellmantwo]

Good to know, that it worked now.

I developed the tool under windows, but tested it in between on Suse 10. I haven't encountered the problem during unzipping yet. But I will add it to my FAQ Section now.

Ooh, I do like this tool quite a lot! Where may we post suggestions for improvement, if it's allowed?
