DDO-ML an ultrafast lightweight DDO launcher

[DeathbringerGod]

Someone else is having trouble receiving xp instantly? I have to log out/log in to see it on the xp bar now...
Also the things I write in the General chat doesn't appear to other people.. I don't know but I think is related with ddo-ml/preload, when I start up with the default launcher I don´t have this issue...

I tried some more and it seems is not related to DDO-ML... but related to Khyber server, but I don´t know the cause of the issue... My brother sent a bug report regarding the issues with XP not showing on bar etc...

"Line 3001 (File "I:\Programs\Turbine\DDO-ML\ddolauncher.exe"):




Error: Variable used without being declared."

just started getting this. any suggestions?

Same thing is happening to me, my guess is that the transition from Turbine to Standing Stone has broken something in the program.

well tried updating autoit and python to latest stable builds.... nada.

just started to happen last week - so *shrug* - will keep working at it. maybe its time to do a clean install.

These bug reports got me very nervous; losing DDO-ML would be a massive hit to my DDO quality of life.

Checking now, mine still works. Knock on wood!

EDIT: My version is 0.1 from August/September 2016, if that matters, and I have it under Documents instead of Program Files.

I believe they all say 0.1
Of the copies I have, August 2016, March 2016 and 2014, none of them are working.

Good - that should rule that out - unless it was a recent windoze patch...

correct on the version number.

well after playing around, seems my issue was User Error x2038245-e; aka need to redo xml file with new encrypted passwords... running fine now - and really fast running from a USB3 Thumbdrive as compared to a hybrid Seagate XT.

Also, if you have many alts on one account, it's awkward having to list your account and password over and over again, but I don't know how to go about addressing it properly without breaking either backwards compatibility or the ability to launch multiple instances from a single shortcut. Allowing multiple "character" entries in one "account" entry (and listing the account and each character as separate "shortcuts" kinda like EllisDee does), would accomplish the latter.

Love the program, tho, as it really does speed up logins once set up properly.

Having a few duplicated lines in the xml is not a big deal. Won't have time to change it in the near future.

If you think preloader makes something wrong or just won't use it, right click on DDO-ML tray icon and uncheck 'Use Preloader'.

Got that error few times when the server was down. The reported line number points to a line with a single 'ElseIf'.
I'll try to debug and fix the next time when I catch a server down.

On Mar 30, 2016 all Python code rewriten to autoit. No need for Python anymore.

Something I'd like to see: An option to minimize or otherwise hide the main window without closing DDO-ML.

[1.4.1] - 2017-06-22
Changed

• Changed window type to have minimize button.
• Readme.md markup.

Fixed

• Version number information in output and exe properties.

Just started using this launcher, nice stuff.

My virus scanner did want to put the main exe file in quarantine because it had similarities with a HEUR-virus though.

Yeah, my AVG has alway hated it, but screw you AVG. hehheh.

Just an FYI, it's not a "heur" virus. That's short for "heuristics", which means your AV warning is saying "I don't know what this is, but it kinda looks like maybe it could be a virus."

[1.4.2.0] - 2017-10-25

Hi, I haven't played in a while but a friend asked me to log on and I'm receiving the following error when I click the account launch DDO button:

dndclient.exe - Entry Point Not Found The procedure entry point QueryUnbiasedInterruptTime could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll. dndclient has stopped working -> Close the program

Using [1.4.2.0] - 2017-10-25, OS is Windows Vista 64-bit.

dndclient.exe is not part of DDO-ML it's core game executable.
QueryUnbiasedInterruptTime is only available from windows7.
Can you start the game with official launcher?

[J2345678]

The game starts without a problem using the default dndlauncher.exe, it only has that error when trying to launch through DDO-ML.

I tried to take a look at the source code, but none of the au3 files compile. They all throw "unterminated string" errors. When I go in and manually correct those to what I'm guessing they're supposed to be on the first file (_XMLDomWrapper.au3) I finally get to an unterminated string error I can't even guess at what it's supposed to be. The entire line (7592) is:

You can't perform that action at this time.

No xml tags of any kind on that line, which looks clearly wrong to me.

Did I not download the correct source files? I "save link as"''ed all the files in the Src folder of the github link since I didn't see a "SourceCode" zip anywhere.

I just did a fresh clone from Git. Sources are in /src folder.
Fresh installed AutoIt with SciTE from https://www.autoitscript.com/site/au...tor/downloads/ to have 'Compile with Options' in context menu.
Scripts compile without problem.
(Btw don't have to compile _XMLDomWrapper.au3, it is included in DDO-ML.au3)

DDO-ML broke for me a while back but I missed it. I thought I would give another go since it has been updated since I last used it. I seemed to have grabbed the necessary files and it launches the UI and the tray icon. But when I launch, the ddolauncher reports:

Unable to find a subscription on your account for DDO. Your LotrO account?

THis shows up in the debug.txt and if I used the ddolauncher directly. I used my normal credentials that work from the SSG launcher so I am not certain what is going on. Has anyone seen this before? Is something on my machine mapped to the wrong end points on SSG's end?

[1.4.3.0] - 2018-01-10
Added

• Debug log to ddolauncher.exe.

Download latest (1.4.3.0).
Set debug=2 in ddo-ml.ini.
Delete debug.txt.
Start DDO-ML, try launch.
PM me debug.txt and ddolauncher.txt.
Don't forget to **** out your accunt name and password in both of them.
