Adria - Inventory Management System

Re: Adria - Inventory Management System

Im using vista and it doesnt work so well for me. I installed the activex thing. When im in game in window mode and press F12 nothing happens, when i maximize adria and press F12 the little window opens (items, chars find etc). When i mouseover it, the window moves so my pointer can never be on the little window.
So I cant click char to make a char, i can however press F8 when adria is maximized to be able to create account. After i create account and char and try to add items by mouseover and pushin insert nothing happens at all. Looks like a great program if i just could get it to work. Help please!
BTW the window that pops up is right in the way of the game, not in the corner or something.

Since I'm not using vista myself I have no idea if any of your settings could be messing things up ... but have you watched the video in the second post of this thread? It may help you get going if there's some detail you're missing in how to use the program.

The window is supposed to dodge the mouse since if you click on it (by mistake or otherwise) diablo would minimize. It's supposed to be over the game window and not beside it since it's made for supporting fullscreen mode (although adding items doesn't seem to work for that).

Edit: Ah, good you got it to work. have fun :thumbup:

Thanks for the reply.
For some reason i was running d2 in compatibility mode for winXP, and run as adminstrator was checked. When i unchecked everything, it worked a little better. I can now push F12 when d2 window is maximized and the window now appear in the corner like it should. However after doing EXACTLY like in the video everything works fine untill i get to the point where i add items. Nothing happens when i try to insert items, no error message or anything.
I read trough all the pages, maybe i missed it but is there a required desktop resolution?

Adding items will not work properly in fullscreen mode as I said in my previous post, the idea was to make it work but for now only use adria with fullscreen d2 to use the ingame search and info tabs.

There's no directly required desktop resolution, just make sure that the d2 window is fully visible apart from being partly covered by the adria ingame window.

For now all I can advise is to see if you can find the adria.log file and see if it contains any specific errors. You may wish to read though the thread and see if there's anyone with similar problems who may have found a solution. As I've said I'm not a vista user myself so I can't really tell if there's anything about the windows settings that need to be fixed.

A thing that I highly recommend if you don't have it already is to get the glide wrapper, mentioned in the user manual. I kinda think you already do though since you could play fullscreen and the ingame window was shown correctly ...

Re: Adria - Inventory Management System

Hats off to Kijya and JustAPlayer - this really makes things easy.

I have a bug report though - it doesn't seem to have been reported here, I get an Error number: 70 occasionally when use the insert key to add items.

I'm using win xp pro sp 2 and the latest stable version of Adria (4.0.1).

I'm including the log, and it starts at around #23 or so in the .txt file. Despite the error, the items I add seem to appear in the adria window though, so I'm not sure if its a big deal

Glad you like it, be sure to mention any suggestions for improvement you happen to think of while using it.

Not sure what to make of it, maybe justaplayer can give more insight. In any case, may I ask about some surrounding specifics? Like if you use multiple users on one computer and if you are logged on as admin?

Yup, I was logged in as admin. I don't have any other user accounts set up, and I was only running a single copy of d2.

Also it seems that some of my items were not saved when I exited and re-started Adria. I'll try indexing my inventory again, but I'm tied up for the next few days and might not be able to mess around with it until the weekend

Re: Adria - Inventory Management System

EDIT: I folded and spent about 15 minutes testing it. Anytime that error occurs, my item database doesn't get saved. With my limited programming know-how, I'd suspect that its an I/O problem with the <charname>.txt. It does seem as though Adria has problems accessing it, and any time that error occurs, the file isn't updated with whatever's in the Adria window

 

[JustAPlayer]

Re: Adria - Inventory Management System

Yes error appears on saving so your items are not saved. The only thing I could think of is some limited access rights in that folder / file. Please check if you can edit / delete files easily in that folder. Also ... is that a zipped or encrypted drive / folder?

 

[sourgrapes]

Re: Adria - Inventory Management System

The drive is not encrypted or zipped and I have no problems editing or deleting files in the data folder. I used the default settings for the folder where the data is saved.

I've tried unchecking the "data is shared between users" box, and have also tried using a different folder, but the problem still persists.

If there is any other information that might be helpful, I'd be more than willing to provide it for you

Re: Adria - Inventory Management System

name of your char ... just thinking that the name could match a certain device on ur pc (COM1, COM2 etc)

 

[sourgrapes]

Re: Adria - Inventory Management System

Probably not. My character names are mostly variations of my name here. i.e sourgraypes, sour_graypes etc.

Re: Adria - Inventory Management System

Nevermind. Had an issue w/ Vista but if u right click and "run adria as administrator".

Re: Adria - Inventory Management System

Hi,
Just discovered this program and tried it a little. Loved the idea of not having to keep manual lists on the side. But i'm not sure if i really get how to use it. I wanted a list of all items on my mules and scanned some of my characters. No problems there. But next time I opened Adria all items were gone. I expected some list to be saved or something and searched for this, but couldn't find anything. I also couldn't find a "save"-btn or something.

Please help a noob with some basics. How is this meant to be used? How do I save lists of my items? Can I open and edit these lists again?

I did read the files that came with the installation and I read the entire thread (although quickly), but I couldn't find some sort of introduction for noobs like me... Please help.

Re: Adria - Inventory Management System

The items should be saved automatically, if they have not been something must have gone wrong.

Inside the installation folder there should be a Adria.ini file. Open that with a text editor.

In that file you'll see the path to the data folder, go to that folder.

Explore the folder(s) inside the data folder, you should find textfiles named after your character and accounts. Your items should have been saved into the files named after your characters, if you cannot find text describing the items in these files or if they do not exist, then something must have gone wrong while saving. If they do contain item text then something must have gone wrong while loading.

Check the Adria.log file inside the directory and see if you see any error messages.

Also this sounds a bit similar to what sourgrapes experienced, so read the thread starting from his post here in greater detail.


If there is any problems with file access rights or something in that data folder, then you could try changing the datafolder patch specified in the mentioned ini file inside the installation directory to something else.

Re: Adria - Inventory Management System

I checked the folder that the ini-file pointed to, and nothing.
Changed the path and tried again, and - now it works. Thanks!

Edit: Regarding socketable items... I have two and both got marked as "white" which isn't quite correct, is it?

If you open the item in question in the editor (doubleclick on the item) what text do you see?

 

[pansarkatt]

Re: Adria - Inventory Management System

Here is one of them. It does say it's socketable, but its type is "white". Is this correct? Maybe there is no type "grey"?

[w]Scarab Husk
[w]Defense: 439
[w] Durability: 23 of 28
[w]Required Strength: 95
[w]Required Level: 51
Socketed (4)

Edit: Just remembered - the OCR was not quite correct and I editet the word "Husk" after the item was scanned. Maybe this had some effect.

 

[Kijya]

Re: Adria - Inventory Management System

As you've seen the OCR isn't 100% accurate for all cases, just as it got the name wrong it didn't identify the color correctly. You can make it a bit better yourself but not perfect (see section 3.6 in the user manual that you can find in the installation directory).

The reason this can happen is because the OCR was developed on my computer and not yours, the images that are captured from your game screen and are sent to the OCR will have differences in brightness/gamma and sharpness depending on your computer settings/graphic mode/etc.

In any case, to make the item get recognized as a "gray" item change:

[w]Scarab Husk

into

[e]Scarab Husk


w obviously stands for white and e stands for ethereal (the g in gray was already in use for green). The colortag of the first line defines what type of item it is.

Re: Adria - Inventory Management System

Great, that fixed it!
Getting to really like this program. It sure makes it easier to keep track of mules - thanks a lot!

Re: Adria - Inventory Management System

Hi guys.

Just installed the software a couple of days ago and get my head around it. So far so good, is definitely a really helpful tool.

But I'm getting a problem when I try to generate the Trade list, I already have all my items in the database, add them to the Trade List but when I said "Generate Trade Text" it came with:

"Error 5 (Invalid Procedure Call or argument) on line 26 of procedure MakeTradelist of Module TradeListPrinter"

I'm using Windows XP running on a VMWare machine.
