Re: Adria - Inventory Management System
Now let's see, firstly to address Thargoids concerns about using Adria on bnet. Short answer would be "Yes, it should be fine to use on bnet in theory", long answer follows:
Adria is in theory safe to use on bnet as it doesn't interact directly with the game and doesn't alter the game code in any way.
It uses:
Keyboard hook: This allows the program to receive keyboard input without being in focus, thus enabling the user to control the program while playing d2. It's a standard windows feature and using it isn't anything the game should care about in theory. An example of a commercial program would be
fraps, which probably uses one so they can start/stop recording while playing a game.
And yes, this is something that is often used in scamming software that aims to steal info (passwords etc) from you, however there's a couple of reasons for you to trust that this one doesn't:
- I and justaplayer are the developers, so if you can trust us then everything should be fine.
- The source code is inspected by the admins at major releases, so if you can trust the admins then everything should be fine. (I'm the one insisting on having them look at it, and I would feel bad bothering them with it at each and every tiny update)
- The program has 0% internet usage, so whatever info it saves will stay on your computer. Not sure if this point is to convincing as it falls back onto point one and two, but if you trust your firewall to block whatever tries to access the internet without permission then everything should be fine.
- Well it is starting to have some history here ... it's been a couple of years since the first release and there should be a couple hundred or so users I'd think (judging by the number of downloads). I'm sure they can tell you if I've stolen their accounts or not. :cloud9:
Screen capture: Nothing strange here, it finds the d2 window position and get a screenshot (using standard windows functions), and this image is indeed scanned pixel by pixel in an efficient manner to extract item text. Again this doesn't interact with the game code in any way, thus warden should have nothing to complain about ... unless every screen capture software out there is its mortal enemy.
All other functions provided by adria are program local, so if the above doesn't anger warden nothing else should either.
However, you must keep in mind that not I nor justaplayer are blizzard employees, we don't know the details on how warden works and have not done any attempts to hide from its view. We are of the mind that everything adria does is legit and thus adria should have no need hide.
Now for the mediafire link, the file is an original I downloaded from codejock directly long ago, and I am the uploader to mediafire (which uploader would rename the zip to that except me? :wink
.
It surprised me that kaspersky flagged it as riskware, but my surprise was lessened when I read that
it does that to mIRC to. It should be safe to use the codejock package, as long as no virus makers find a way to exploit it. Considering how few people are installing that trial package I'm sure it would be a rather dry market for virus makers to aim at ... :whistling:
Good it's working for you 
Damn! Could be so beautiful...
