Latest version is 2.1, see details a the end of the thread.

END OF EDIT

If you are interested in skilling you are probably also interested in counting your skills. For this I made a nice tool: EU Companion.

Version 1.2a can be downloaded from the download page at:

http://www.dse.nl/~meulenbr/EU_Companion/download.html
md5 sum for 1.2a:
ae379e9795a0898f7eced283f848dc84 *EU_Companion_1.2a.zip

Changes between 1.2a and 1.2:

Fixed small typo in stats.xsl (Defence -> Defense)

Lots of changes since 1.1:
- now also works in windowed mode
- hotkey (PrintScreen) to capture screenshots while in-game
- tray icon showing # of pages parsed with tooltip to give attributes
- user definable output file format, xml output given as example
- audible indication of status
- various other changes
See the web page or the documentation for details

Please post bug reports and success stories here or mail them to dutchie@inbox.com

can you explain a little bit on how to use it?
install it to where?
i have dl it but dont know how to use
all the button dont give me result except the button for EU

The idea is that you make screenshots ingame of all your skill pages. I use PE Assistant for that. I recommend making the screenshots in full screen mode (not in windowed mode). Best make .png pictures.

After that the generate statistics file allows you to select those bitmaps and generate a data file to be used by PE Stats Displayeer as well as a .csv and a .txt file with your settings.

If launch PE assistant does not work for you you apparently have not installed PE Assistant.
Options definitely should work.
Generate statistics also should give you a file selector box.
The readme file contains some more info.

In the next version things will become easier. I've added direct screen capturing and processing. Also windowed mode is fully supported in that version. It is scheduled to be released somewhere around march 1. Watch this space for more info.

I'll wait for that. Anyway nice utility dutchie.

You're in line for my next karma point to be added. I'm going to attempt to figure out how to move this thread to make it a sticky and hopefully we can get a working utilities forum section up.

Thanks, I'll update the start post when the new version is ready.

bump, to raise this on the active topic list to make people aware of the new version (see start post)

I gave it a try, but it doesnt seem to read all my skill. It didnt read my defensive skills, and some other skills are missing too. I will give it another try later.

Aside from that, it seems to work nice. I hope we will see profession support soon .

Bump for Dutchie!

Great work mate, keep it up!

Witte,

If it doesn't read all of your skills please email me snapshots of the offending pictures.
I've only seen this happen when you use peass to make .jpg pictures and they are compressed too much.
If you make .png pictures with peass, this should not happen.
Also if you are using the built-in printscreen function this should not happen.

Profession support is one of the things on the agenda for 1.3 (actually that is why I wanted to get this released, so I could rework the code for professions).

Dutchie.

This sounds like a great tool. The OCR feature is nice. I will have to give it a shot in my *choke* free time.

New release 1.2a:

Kudo's to Witte for reporting this (actually this one was reported by one of the beta testers but for some silly reason an old version ended up in the 1.2 zip.

Dutchie

One whole new update just to fix one spelling error? :-P

It was not a spelling error, it made that the xsl script did not retrieve the Defense attribute when viewing the xml file.

small info note:

I saw that 8.11 will allow different graphical resolutions. No idea yet what this has on the skill pages (and I won't be able to enter the game before tomorrow evening).
EU Companion is known with 1024x768. For other resolutions your milage may vary.
