As title says, I run the program, log into game, and as the train goes hyperdrive, the application quits. From what I can tell, once I start logging in, only one line of output prints after the "Waiting with timeout 120secs" line before the whole thing force closes. I think it reads "connection established" but it closes too fast for me to see thing whole thing. I wish I could provide a screenshot, but I'm not fast enough to capture that output before the exe closes itself.

For whatever reason, the program wasn't saving archive_output.json at all, throwing an application panicked error after the data was successfully gathered. So I was curious, and ran it as administrator instead of just letting the program send an admin request as it normally does. It said it worked, but I couldn't find the file. Turns out, it was saved in System32 of all places.

I tried running the program through Terminal, and it then saved the output file in my specific User folder. Another time when I opened it from Everything (a search program), it saved the output to the Everything program folder.

So I'm assuming it's saving not in Downloads where the program actually is, but instead (for some reason) in whatever folder the wrapper is in. Any idea why it'd be doing this for me?

Hey guys,

Application is amazing. Is there any plan to support current patch of the game 2.3? Getting the error below since the update.

Thanks for all your amazing work!

Fun fact! base_avatar_id for any TB relic and light cone will always be 8001, possibly even 8002 but I can't confirm because I chose Caelus instead of Stelle. The name lookup should not correctly set the location for all trailblazer paths

closes #12

Hi! I encountered the unexpected EOF issue that you mentioned in the release notes and was looking to provide logs if helpful:

The following are the verbose logs from the archiver:

Happy to run any special debug builds of the program on my end if it would be helpful for you. Thanks for your work on this!

This is more of a question of possibility than necessarily a suggestion to do given the limited scope of this specific repo - can this method be used to grab a list of the player's achievements? There are few ways that I have found to get the list of achievements done outside of some offshoot OCR methods and straight up manual checks so I figured this would make things a lot simpler if possible.

When I try to execute cargo run on Fedora 40 (Linux) and try to log into the game I get the following error:

It seems be a network problem. Can you build the mirror of links?

На фото видно, что включен русский язык в настройках(подписи кнопок русские). проверку ресурсов делал, ничего не нашло. Еще когда запускаешь игру, сверху "Добро пожаловать "почта@mail.ru"" стало тоже на испанском. В других местах такого не обнаружено. Не могу на все 100% утверждать что это из-за сканера, но такое я заметил только сегодня

App crashes the moment when I click to start in game.

Background:

• Non windows system
• Built from source using cargo build. Nothing added, nothing tweaked. I'm not familiar with rust
• Binary directly run with sudo target/debug/reliquary-archiver. Setting CAP_NET_RAW was not enough as I was always getting Operation not permitted error

Verbose version right before the crash:

I'm on Windows 11. Running the executable by either clicking on it or running it on the PowerShell command line fails with the error "The specified executable is not a valid application for this OS platform." Any idea why this is happening?

This issue looks like a duplicate of #13, lol.

I am experiencing difficulty connecting to raw.githubusercontent.com from my home network. Despite setting the http_proxy and all_proxy environment variables, the connection does not work, and I cannot see any log entries from my proxy.

Based on my research, ureq should automatically support proxy environments, but this doesn't seem to be the case here.

As a workaround, I replaced the link with a mirror (built using actions in a private fork), and it worked.

Given that a local database is not the preferred solution (#11), is there any possibility of implementing proxy support for database fetching?

Thank you for developing this tool!

I just found this today and it's such a breeze to work with, especially compared to The Other Game by the same developers where all the available scanners rely on OCR (of screenshots or video).

Without looking into the code (which I don't have the time for for the near future), I was wondering how much effort it would be to adapt the same method also for this other game? Especially on Linux, the current options there are a bit limited (and basically require a controller for reasonable performance, but controllers on Linux are also … not the easiest to work with, outside of Steam anyway).

Making a draft pull request to begin discussing implementation details for this feature

I've made some changes to get started, but nothing is set in stone and can be changed as need be.

Overview

Adds support for specifying a download directory for loading & saving necessary database config files.

Details

• There are two new command-line arguments:
  • --no-save = do not save database locally
  • --database <PATH> = where to save and/or load the local database to/from. default is "database"
• File system errors when trying to load from the local database will fallback to fetching from online sources
• File system errors when trying to save the local database will silently fail, but the rest of the program should still run

Essentially, the --database arg tells it where it should be looking for the local database and the --no-save arg explicitly tells it not to save, otherwise the default behavior is to always save.

Notes

I'm storing the SHA hash of the latest commit as versioning information for the local database files. So, when checking if it needs to update its local database, it's doing a simple comparison on the latest commit's hash and what we have saved to see if they are the same; if they aren't then we assume our database is behind and will re-download those files.

Important: reliquary repo will also need to be updated with Serialize derivations on most types to allow writing those types to file using serde. I can make a separate PR for that.
