If your package manager is empty, autotracker isn't working, or you can't update, make sure you have re-downloaded and installed the latest update. See #announcements for details.

I'm not sure where to put this into: I installed the lastest Version of EmoTracker just now and it does tell me to update the Offical ALTTP Support Pack. Whenever i do it tho, the progression bar does go all the way from start to finish with no effect. It still shows that package as an available Update. Is there a way to fix this?

Did you unzip the pack in your Documents/EmoTracker/packs folder?

Don’t do that

Controlled Folder Access isn't even enabled

I also tried to disable UAC, then restart Emo tracker, gave universal full access to the folder of EmoTracker, then restart Emo tracker. It still doesn't install.

09:55
I've verified that this is not occurring here. Have you exported any overrides for that pack, and if so, have you tried removing them?
09:55
If you've made no intentional changes that you're aware of, you can also safely delete your Documents/EmoTracker folder and then re-launch the app and re-install the pack (edited)

If there's a little blue robot icon on the Free Enterprise pack in the package manager, then it's got some flavor of autotracking

not yet, and i just checked the info on the package i use, it says that auto tracking is in the works but not complete

i have the voice active thing up but i am not sure how to use the voice stuff to trigger the tracker
Avatar
MuffinJets 2020-11-19 19:14
The voice tracking stuff is pretty underdeveloped, I don't recommend it myself The idea is that you'd say, "Hey tracker..." and then whatever you want it to do. I don't know the specific commands.

From th elooks of it, you could just not maximize the emulator window and play with it to the side. That said, there is information in #customization-support you could use to re-arrange or re-size the tracker.

Avatar
EmoSaru 2020-11-26 11:57
The EmoTracker broadcast view outputs over NDI on the network. If you have the NDI OBS extension installed on your streaming PC, you can add it as an NDI source.
11:57
Beyond that, I’d have to know more about what you’re trying to do.
Avatar
notchhit_65 2020-11-26 12:10
@EmoSaru I am running the rom on my gaming pc and I edited to connector.lua to use my streaming PC's IP in the hopes that it would connect through the network. ( it doesn't it times out when I run the lua on the SNES emulator). My streaming pc is of course where I have my OBS etc
Avatar
EmoSaru 2020-11-26 12:17
Check your firewall settings on the two PCs to make sure the traffic is allowed
12:17
Beyond that, I don’t specifically provide support for remote autotracking in that way
12:18
But again, you can run the tracker on your gaming PC, and use NDI to send the broadcast view to your streaming pc for display

Is there any problem with the Package Manager right now? Through Search Function I found some stuff from a while back and tried everything in there. Windows Defender is off by default cause its jackshit, uninstalled my very old version of Emotracker completely and installed the current version from the website (2.3.8.11? something like that) and did everything as an admin ofc. But it still says that Community Package Service is currently down. No VPN is used.

If the update was minor, you can change the version number inside the save file to match the one of the package, but there's no guarantee that will work

Why? Copying the files over is trivial, and they’re not in some super hidden location. The app also only requires an internet connection for two things - autotracking and installing/updating packs.

The reason it's not currently portable is because the type of application update system you need to implement for that is very different, and also because while there are a number of people who understand portable apps, the vast majority of Windows users expect installers. I'm not interested in supporting two modes of distribution, so it's an installer. Just be glad it's no longer a ClickOnce application, which is the worst of all worlds. (edited)

@Daviza If you reduce the width of the window, it moves the map to the side. It also "unlocks" a double-map view.

Why? Copying the files over is trivial, and they’re not in some super hidden location. The app also only requires an internet connection for two things - autotracking and installing/updating packs.

Just saying it sucks that it’s not portable. Not a problem with the program, just a problem with me.

The Shadow and Spirit medallions do nothing by themselves, so that are tracked that way. When you find where the spirit medallion is, you toggle to that same symbol. Fire and water work the same way.

i think that's a package specific quirk, other trackers track each medallion specifically, but in this case since spirit and shadow don't do anything without having both it's kind of irrelevant which is which, like melee said, same with the spiritual stones and fire/water

Hey! I have been using EmoTracker for about 5 or 6 months now, and out of the blue today Malwarebytes detected TwitchLib.api.Helix.dll as malware. Just wanted to ask what this dll was for? It has been in the software since I got it so I don't see why it would be flagged, just curious if anything's changed with it in an update or something. (edited)

Fixed size tracker layouts (typically items only layouts) specifically disallow size changes. I have never seen that issue before - did you make any layout changes via overrides?

it happens if you are using a resizable pack and then either maximize the window or snap it to the left/right, then change to a non-resizable pack

I have definitely never seen that, and EmoTracker doesn’t really touch any of the stuff that should/could cause blue screens assuming your system is otherwise in good health.

I'm not sure. All I did was change to the map version, resize is there and change back to items only tracker and it was smaller. But when I say "Smaller" it still had unnecessary bars around it but they were just small enough to not be a problem

It's the Dorkmaster and Flek one is the one I use for SMZ3. It's the only one where I've had the problem, but i rarely use others so I can't swear that it wouldn't happen on other packages. If you'd like I can play around with a couple others and see if I can blue screen my laptop

I have what could be a dumb question. https://puu.sh/HgQ2G/1def66c57b.png This empty box on the left can be assigned an item. As I just discovered this functionality after using the tracker for ALttPR twice, once for Metroid Prime, and now finding it while doing SMZ3, fiddling with it seems to be a manual entry for items that can be seen before they can be collected. Is that correct?

Related, I'm unsure of how to use the notes and how they're relevant.
Avatar
TarThoron 2021-02-14 20:57
Yes. Pinnable locations. I believe Dorkmaster added the pin option to the sandpits in SM by request, since people will scout them but not collect right away. But most pins in SMZ3 are on the Z3 side.

Avatar
TarThoron 2021-02-14 21:02
Hmm, I guess. But you can't check floodgate without collecting, and you either want the sunken treasure, or you leave it there and forget about it. You only pin locations you plan to come back to later.
Avatar
ArloMathis 2021-02-14 21:02
That's where my other question comes in
21:03
I don't know how to mark locations as collected without pinning them first.
Avatar
TarThoron 2021-02-14 21:03
Just right click the square
21:04
Or the relevant chest in locations with multiple.
Avatar
ArloMathis 2021-02-14 21:04
That clears all the items. I dunno, maybe I'm half remembering what was also a brain fart, but it seemed like left and right click both did that and I wanted to be able to do specifics (edited)
21:05
Seeing as holding left click pulls up a preview that disappears if you move off the square, hitting specific squares seems to require pinning
21:06
…Going to concede here, it doesn't disappear if you actually keep your mouse in the bounding box of the square+preview
21:07
Must have somehow consistently left the box enough to be frustrated by it
21:13
Anyway, thanks for humoring me.
Avatar
MikeTrethewey | Axiom Verge 2021-02-14 21:13
If you left-click, hold, don’t leave the box, and then release, the location should stay “open” until you click again. (edited)

Some locations are defined to clear all checks if you left-click any of the chests. The author has usually done this if all chests have the same access logic within the room.

Such as all the chests in the thieves' basement, yeah that makes sense. I noticed it did not do that on the Hyrule Castle Escape chests.

after clicking and holding, you need to keep your mouse in the box with the checks yeah

Escape should have 4 sections: Map chest (always available) Blue Boomerang + Zelda's Cell (requires key) Dark Cross (requires Lamp (or fire rod with advanced placement)) Back 3 (Requires Lamp+Key or Gloves) Since non-keysanity doesn't know when you have the key, it might include the second section with the first. It's been a while since I actually used a map tracker while playing. (edited)
Avatar
ArloMathis 2021-02-14 21:23
The disconnect at this point is that it requires movement. If the cursor is still in the box and not on the preview, it disappears when I let go of left click. It persists only if I hold left click on the box, then move to the preview before releasing the button. It's a bit awkward, but I think I can get used to it

Not currently, no. Because it affects package layouts and can make some packs more or less functional, I don't save the setting currently to prevent people from getting confused by things being wrong.

I have another potentially dumb question, and searching hasn't turned up much. What is the difference between the colored band on the check preview/pin box and the color of the box itself on the map? Most of the time they match, but this is confusing https://puu.sh/HhfFN/4c5a01df2b.png What is this nonstandard, odd muted red color and what does it mean? Is that a pack-specific thing I should be looking for on the SMZ3 creator's documentation?

The band is defined by the pack author. It’s not set by the app, specifically. @Dorkmaster Flek : Do you have a design behind the color bands for each location?

For Brinstar in particular, it seems to make sense for in-game nomenclature as you’ve got subregions of Blue, Green, Pink, Red & Kraid.

It does look to be location based. Looking at the LttP side red seems to be dungeons, yellow for the desert, etc.

Dorkmaster Flek 2021-02-16 07:46
Not specifically, no. The map locations were already there when I took over the pack, so I haven't specifically changed any of them I think (or I don't recall if I did). I could give it a look over and see if any of them are inconsistent or don't make sense. I think it makes sense to have a single colour for each major area that matches the map. On the LTTP side, it looks like this is basically taken straight from the official Z3R pack so I haven't changed any of those either. (edited)
07:48
The colour has nothing to do with the logic however. It's purely cosmetic, although consistency would indicate different types of areas for informational purposes like you mentioned. I just never bothered to actually go over the colours. 😛 (edited)

TarThoron 2021-02-16 08:16
It was probably Gilgatex that actually set the SM colors, unless they took them from another pack.

Dorkmaster Flek 2021-02-16 08:41
I would assume so, either they set the colours themselves or possibly copied the map and locations from the old SM item rando pack. I'm not sure which existed first.

I'll give it a pass over. 👍

EmoSaru 2021-02-16 09:51
The colored band on pinned/expanded locations is purely a visual clue to enhance readability and quick recognition when a number of locations are pinned. As you've noticed, in my LTTP pack, red is dungeons, and the rest of the locations have colors indicating region.

You’re only the second person to mention that game ever in this server, so, it’s unlikely that it’s actually an EmoTracker pack. I recommend asking those people again precisely where and how they’re doing the thing. If someone out there has made one, they’re likely distributing it themselves.

I did find a pack, however I have no idea how to add it to the tracker, and the readme doesn't work. I'm just not very advanced with tech, so it's a struggle.

In the end, there is a developer out there who has made a pack for Skyward Sword and has it up on their GitHub and it looks like it’s just not yet made it through the pipeline to be included in the Package Manager. Installing packs manually can be a little tricky.

I am now going to load the SMZ3 package i normally use and try to get it to crash again. Both times I had SLOBS open for whatever that's worth

I couldn't get it to crash with the SMZ3 tracker up, i switched back to the ALTTP Emotracker Map Tracker and it crashed within seconds of me making size adjustments

Unfortunately, spoiler races are a thing (maybe not for SMZ3 though) and there are strict rules on what you're allowed to do with the log during the 15 minute study period. Auto-population would certainly be against those rules, so Emo's not likely going to make it a feature.
Avatar
EmoSaru 2021-02-28 11:42
It’s technically possible to make it so packs can implement it, kinda, but it’s a hornet’s nest for sure and I certainly don’t recommend doing it. I also don’t know what the point would be of playing randomizers where the tracker shows you where everything is, but I’m probably missing something 🤷‍♀️ (edited)
Avatar
LarkinOmega 2021-02-28 11:43
I'm a more casual player, getting to the right places is more interesting to me than being lost looking for what I need next, so knowing what is where is attractive at this moment in time

But then again, I just got the automatic tracking working shortly before I asked that, so knowing where I CAN go to look for the next bits is roughly the same

ArloMathis 2021-02-28 12:44
Personally as a super casual player, it would be nice to have it populate the 'see but can't get' checks to help with routing without having to actually go to the place. That's really the only bit that would interest me. If I could snap my fingers and get something implemented though, being able to check the spoiler log from within the tracker would be nice when stuck. That being said, I don't really think it would be worth the trouble either even as someone that wouldn't mind having it.

I'm trying to see if it can read my alttp save file for a randomizer run (nothing too crazy, just items shuffled around and using a different sprite instead of link) so that I don't have to start a new game. What does it mean if the robot is yellow and how will I know when the tracker's working?

Tried searching for the answer but didn't see it so I'll ask here: In the Link to the Past item tracker with keys, what do the question marks next to each dungeon represent?
Avatar
TarThoron 2021-03-12 08:24
Unknown dungeon prizes. In keysanity, you need to find the dungeon maps or beat the dungeon to discover if the prize is a crystal or pendant. You can also learn the green pendant and 5/6 crystals by talking to Sahasralah and the bomb shop merchant, respectively.
Avatar
NBoomer 2021-03-12 08:28
Hmm. So is that not relevant to me if I'm just doing a beginner preset? First time attempting one of these. I did talk to Sahasralah and he said to come back after getting the green pendant which is hiding all the way in Turtle Rock.
Avatar
TarThoron 2021-03-12 08:36
If you're not playing keysanity, you can just check the overworld maps, then right click the icons to set them to the proper prizes. AFAIK most non-keysanity packages don't have the ? and just default to blue crystals. The green pendant gets an item from Sahasralah. The 5/6 crystals unlock the big bomb for the pyramid fairy. All three pendants unlock Mastersword pedestal. All seven crystals unlock Ganon's Tower (assuming you're not playing with reduced/random crystal requirements). If you don't assign your dungeon prizes in the tracker, those checks will never show as available on the map. Similarly, when you learn the Misery Mire and Turtle Rock medallions, right click them on the tracker to assign them (these will turn green without being assigned if you get all three medallions).

NBoomer 2021-03-12 08:45
Got it. So they're just the check for the reward from beating the boss. I was overthinking it. Thanks for clarifying!

You would have to download the pack for wherever game you're randomizing

For ALTTPR, you would have to download the official ALTTPR pack or any alternatives

Hello! I'm wondering whether there is a way to make pinned locations show only on the map tracker and not the broadcast view of said tracker in the ALTTPR emotracker standard map tracker. I've tried cropping the pins out from the broadcast view in OBS, but when I pin something new the window resizes again. I came around this by capturing only the item tracker part of the map tracker and that stayed the size I cropped it, but I prefer the way the broadcast view looks. My goal is to be able to pin stuff for myself on the map tracker and only broadcast the item tracker the way it looks in broadcast view without the pins appearing on stream. I've searched little on here and I really don't understand about overrides and how to edit those kind of files and I don't really know what to do to achieve this or if it is possible. Thankful for any help 🙂

Hi all. Not sure if this is truly an emotracker question or a pack related as i only run Legend of Zelda Randomizers... So this might be the wrong spot. Sorry if so. My question is this. When running randomizers i noticed that there are three different colors that checks can be.... either green/yellow/or orange. Green/orange i understand... but yellow i however do not. What is the difference between green/yellow checks if any?

Now that i am reading it that is most likely a pack support question im guessing

Thanks, that helps me in a technical way to understand why it isn’t possible. While you have no plans, just being curious about .NET: On the mono page they say:
At this point, we strongly suggest that users interested in WPF adopt Xamarin.Forms instead as it offers a rich set of cross platform APIs and features (and has a WPF driver too).
I wonder: Is this a lot of work or is this more like switching imports? Again, just being curious on a technical basis here.
Avatar
EmoSaru 2021-04-04 13:30
It's a fair amount of work, and it's not as good of a trade as they say, as Xamarin Forms is missing a decent number of things that WPF has. Regardless, when I decide to care about cross platform, I'll absolutely share that news. Until then it's not something that's currently worth the time it would take.

DynamoBen 2021-04-04 13:32

You don't do anything, unless you're building your own SMZ3 generator and multiworld server. All you can do is wait until the devs incorporate it, and be mindful of the issue until then (manually track dungeon chests that contain items for other people). (edited)

Maybe someone has had this issue or knows what's going on: I just installed the emotracker and it told me to download a package. I pull up the packages list and there's a lot. I click on the install button for worlds collide (have however tried this with different ones as well with the same result). The green bar fills up 80-100% of it, then after pausing for a few seconds it goes away. The tracking program itself doesn't update in any way (automatically, via the refresh button, or even by restarting) and everything's the same. Re-download/reinstall has the same effect. Any thoughts?

Should have gone in #autotracker-support Are you using lua or sd2snes protocol? If your multiworld in any way uses usb2snes or qusb2snes, emotracker should be set to sd2snes.

On Ocarina of Time is there a way to set the map so when you check something off is there a way not to fill it in on the tracker?
11:11
The best example I have is the check for Talking to Saria. Normally you get an ocarina there in the vanilla game. In the randomizer it can be anything but clicking you checked the location automatically fills out ocarina.
Avatar
strizer86 2021-05-07 11:17
It's been a little but there should be a settings button by the item grid if I recall correctly. You can customize the settings you use so the tracker shows correctly. Ocarina vanilla vs randomized would be one of the options.

Hey, I'm having an issue with the chest/item popups (the little window that opens where you can mark a chest as opened or note which item is in that location). When I used the tracker about a year ago, the chest popup would stay open after only clicking on the icon once, but now I have to hold the button down and hover over the popup to make it stay open. This happens with every package I try. Is this supposed to happen?
Avatar
LostThePirate 2021-05-19 09:54
It's been that way for the nearly 3 years I've been using the tracker, so my best guess is you're misremembering how it behaved when you used it last.

Click, hold, drag away, should stay open in a quick motion. May need to hesitate a little on initial click.

There are no auto-tracker related hotkeys in EmoTracker. Unless you are somehow navigating around in the UI, which would require window focus, there's nothing I can point you towards.

Avatar
TarThoron 2021-06-05 20:24
You can try opening the save in a text editor and changing the version number to the new update. No promises that will work. Some pack managers host their packs on GitHub, where you might be able to find the previous version, and stick that in your packages folder. Also no guarantee there. There's no simple way to downgrade.

So, I'm using the tracker for Chrono Trigger randomizer, and I've been trying to figure out, is it possible to have the map auto disabled? If there's a way to do it, I'd love to not have to keep disabling it and resizing the window. Not for broadcast window or anything stream related, just the general tracker itself. Wasn't sure if this was a general or customization support question.

You could make an override for it and remove or comment out the map, but that seems to be a bit more work than you're probably looking to do lol

Avatar
TarThoron 2021-06-17 22:08
And it's yellow because logic assumes you're a moron when it comes to using keys, and use them in the absolute worst possible way.
22:11
So boomerang chest and Zelda's cell logically require the random small key, which can be in Dark Cross or the back. Non-keysanity packs have no way of tracking whether or not you've gotten the key. (edited)

Not in open
Avatar
TarThoron 2021-06-17 22:17
However, if you can get through the dark, you can take a key from the first blue guard, then go through the dark and get to the back, ensuring that you get the key and can then get to the front items. This makes it a sequence break (yellow) instead of a mixed availability (orange).

Is this specifically with the broadcast view? Neither of the SM packs have ammo or etanks as part of the broadcast view. It would be possible to add them via an override if you are comfortable modifying the layout. The other option would be to capture the portion of the main tracker window with the ammo and display that on your stream instead of using the broadcast view.

I've opened 8 chests in Escape, 5 in EP and they aren't going away automatically. It says i can get AT front, but it's past a dark room. Beyond that, i'm not really sure what else to check.
11:25
Some things aren't showing when they should have (King Zora wasn't shown when i got the power gauntlet for example). Is the tracker having issues?

1) Dungeon chests are not autotracked in my pack because it is not race legal 2) Zora is being shown as accessible in that image.

It pretends to have a lamp for the opening part with Zelda, but doesn't want to light anything else in the game without the lamp.

Just found out that this logic setting can make it so that you have to navigate dark rooms by memory.

Google search suggests a few possible issues. Registry is gunked up. A registry cleaner might fix. Some other software is blocking it. A Windows Update was corrupted. ASUS GPU Tweek II is bugged and needs to be unistalled/reinstalled. (This one is actually the most common, but usually affects more than just one app). Try switching to Safe Mode and see if it starts.

Hello, I have some questions I'm hoping someone can help out with. I'm using EmoTracker for ZOOTR and I'm using the Hamsda Map Tracker package as it is the best one imo. Sometimes when I am looking at an area's chests (for example Bottom of the Well) the list is so long that I can't see all of the list, but I also can't scroll down. Can I somehow scroll down? I also found out that if I pin an area it will show up in the Pinned Areas section and display all of the checks for that area, which is useful. However, I cannot see the Pinned Areas section unless I have EmoTracker in a smaller windowed mode. I would prefer to have it in full screen mode on my second monitor, but when I put it in full screen, the map dominates most of the screen, and the Pinned Areas section is at the bottom off-screen, with no apparent way to drag it up or anything. Are there any solutions to this? Ideally I'd like to just keep full screen mode and make the map a little smaller so I could drag up the pinned areas section, but if using a windowed mode is really the only option then I guess that would have to do. Please let me know if you guys have anything useful on this, or if you need further detail/screenshots/etc. 🙂
Avatar
Hamsda 2021-07-25 15:13
you can customize the layout with overrides with very little "programming" knowledge (it's mostly just json)
15:13
but yeah, full screening (especially on smaller monitors) will sadly lead to that, but not much i can do
15:15
if your resolution is high enough, i have a premade layout where the map is at the top

Nave357 2021-07-25 15:15

Avatar
Hamsda 2021-07-25 15:18
when you have the pack open, at the cog menu all the way near the x, Advanced > Export Overrides
15:18
and in this case, you wanna export layouts\tracker.json
15:18
theres a search bar at the top and a button to open the folder where this goes
15:19
and then just change the tracker_right_map to tracker_top_map (edited)

Could potentially set items, maps, and pins in three seperate columns, with items and pins set to a specific size (possibly with a scroll bar) and map set to fill the space.
15:36
Or the way I have my SMZ3 override puts the items and pins in a single column, but seperate tabs, so I can click between them, like you can click between the different maps.

This should really go in #customization-support

I've been having a problem with EmoTracker and I have no clue why its been doing this. For some reason it refuses to update or install trackers even though I'm on the most recent version and a fresh install on this laptop I'm using. I've uninstalled using IObit Unistaller for a complete removal and the standard uninstall as well. I remember this was a bug last year too, but I have no idea why its happening to me. Anyone have any ideas? I'm using an MSI W10 Home Edition laptop. I do use a VPN, but I turn it off to try to install updates. Sorry for the wall of text, I'm getting back into Randos and its making me sad because I love this program so much.

Is there a way to pin all locations, by any chance?
Avatar
TarThoron 2021-08-14 19:52
Whether or not a location is pinnable depends on if it has the flag, which is generally up to the pack dev, though you could do your own override.
19:52
Some games have hundreds of locations, so adding the flag to each could be a bit of work.

EmoSaru 2021-08-14 20:12
Locations are pinnable by default. There is not a way to pin all locations by default though, as that would be a lot and would be useless.

Hello everyone! New member here getting into trackers and randomizer stuff. I'm working on a Donkey Kong Country 2 Entrance Randomizer Tracker, and I'm curious if is it possible to have ComboBoxes/DropDown Menus in the items of the tracker. The idea is to keep register of the checked exits, but also keep track of where they send us during game-play, to avoid revisits. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance c:
Avatar
cluekitty 2021-08-22 11:25
I don't think emotracker has anything like combos/dropdowns, but you can each exit could be its own item. Keeping track of where they send you probably would be a bit more difficult
11:26
Though, maps let you add a capture location which you can set to an item
11:27
that might work

Hello, I was wondering if somebody could help. I am trying to switch my tracker and when I click on the gear and then go to "installed packages" , the packages appear to the left then when I move my mouse over to click on it, it disappears and does not allow me to click on it.
Avatar
TarThoron 2021-08-26 18:28
Someone had that issue a while back. This was the solution they came up with (affects full system, not just EmoTracker, but forces the sub-menus to be on the right.
Win+R and then inputting shell:::{80F3F1D5-FECA-45F3-BC32-752C152E456E} to open the Tablet PC menu and there changing it to left handed It solves the issue, but still doesn't explain why the tracker does it in the first place

Hi everyone, I've installed EmoTracker v. 2.3.8.14, and am attempting to install my first package (specifically, the Item tracker for Resident Evil HD Remaster). In Package Manager, it shows as "Available", and when I click the "Install" button, the progress bar to the left of the word "Available" fills up as green, hangs a moment once fully green, and then reverts to blank. The package does not get installed. There is no error message. The same behavior happens with the "Item and Map Tracker", as well as with other packages for other games. I have tried closing and re-opening the program, as well as restarting my PC, without solving the problem. Is there a way to fix this? Or is there a way for me to obtain the package I'm seeking manually, without needing to use the Package Manager? Thank you!

This is going to be pretty pack dependent, so I recommend you always mention what game/pack you're asking about. Some are more or less low-resolution friendly, depending on how they handle their locations.

if you are reffering to the package made by J_im from here https://github.com/j-imbo/jim_packages then it is not an official release. you can download the ssrando_jim.zip, put it into your packs folder for emotracker, unzip to its own folder within packs and then it will show in the other tab in installed packs (edited)

WillardJBradley 2021-10-08 00:12
for certain assets in a pack that you'd have multiple to cycle through (L/R click) and activate/deactivate (middle click)
00:13
for example would be like dungeon prizes in zootr
00:13
or for z2r cycling through the spells for the town but only activating it when you've received it
00:16
or for lttpr for ganon's goal. cycle through crystal count, click for AD/Ped/TFH
00:20
it'd also help in packs where you click too far and have to re-cycle all the way through again (edited)

I've been getting back into randomizers after a bit of a break, and decided to do a M3Z3 run, and while I was able to update all the other packs, for some reason the M3Z3 won't update, no matter what I do with the program, I've tried having a different pack open, the M3Z3 pack open, I've quit and restarted, the only thing I haven't done is reinstall the whole program or the pack (in the latter's case cause I'm afraid the same issue will keep me from redownloading it entirely)

If you extracted a copy of the .zip into the /packs directory, it won't properly update as I've found. Otherwise, it could be Controlled Folder Access or antivirus blocking the actions

Given that as I said, other packs updated just fine, I doubt it's the controlled folder problem, I also downloaded it right from the program to begin with

Then, check to see if you have a folder for the pack you're trying to update? For me it goes through the updating "animation" but then just shows the update button again

If that doesn't work, you could always try deleting the pack from your Documents/Emotracker/packs folder

Uninstalled, downloaded, removed Documents/ folder to clear out.. still stuck, and the package manager was empty. I'm not going to WireShark to confirm, but there are issues resolving your services with Quad9 DNS. Switching to Google DNS ended up fine. Then again.. OBS and Twitch would not get along this morning either.. and seem fine. As a systems admin: It's always DNS. (edited)

Not that I'm aware of. As my pack only supports race-legal features, my pack likely never will. It's technically possible, but difficult to do well, and has the added hurdle of EmoTracker not having first-class entrance tracking support, so most of the versions out there are workarounds of varying degrees of sophistication. If anybody's going to build it, it would likely be Codemann, but I'm not sure even he has interest in pursuing that.

I'm going to be making a tracker for Shantae and the Seven Sirens, but I don't really know what I'm doing. I understand documentation is coming, so, in the meantime, what kinds of data should I be getting ready? I'd definitely want to start with items, but a map would be nice too. I assume pngs of all the items, both greyed out and full colour, and of course the map itself. We're still working on the logic, but that can go into the map portion somehow when it's done. Anything else I'm gonna need?

TarThoron 2021-12-08 21:33
You don't need gray-scale. EmoTracker can do that automatically.
21:36
Item-only trackers are rather simple. Maps need logic. Check the channel topic and pins in #customization-support to familiarize yourself with the language.

The best thing to do is alway start by looking at the internals of my LTTPR pack to see how things are arranged, and then as TarThoron said, #customization-support contains some additional useful things in the channel topic and pins, and is the place to ask questions.

Ravel 2021-12-09 08:07
Is there a way to see what all the different "main rules" options mean when it comes to logic? Just started my first OOT randomizer and my buddy generated the seed. He told me roughly what the rules are, but I can't understand the options I need to select in order to make them match what he told me... I checked the FAQ and tried googling, but no luck 😦

As far as I know, only if you had previously used the file -> save route to save the state of your tracker before you reset it

Although if it is an autotracking enabled pack it'll update the stuff that is autotracked next time it would update that sort of stuff

Just downloaded the tracker and couldn't find the answer I wanted in FAQS. I can't see everything in the tracker that I'm trying to use. It's being cut off by a progress bar. I don't know the normal functions, but it seems like images are at a locked size and my laptop screen is too small. There is no scroll ability or click and drag for maneuvering. Not sure which channel would be most appropriate to ask in either for help.

If you export a layout override, it’s also possible to apply a custom scale to the tracker layout if need be. #customization-support

The custom scaling in the PC settings are only for attempting to make fonts large. Exporting for layout overrides appears to require some application I lack for editing the exported file.

Well the most recent search result in #customization-support for scaling is definitely someone changing the checks on the map, not the fonts, I'd start there

I don't know the solution for your issue but the overrides are going to be in there
Avatar
Lurch9229 2021-12-30 23:50
I would start by consolidating those tabs. Tabs can go within each other. For example you can have a header tab called "Routes" and put all routes in that, then another tab called towns and put all towns there etc

TarThoron 2021-12-30 23:52
You can edit .json files with any text editor. Even Notepad if you want. But I would recommend getting something that recognizes formatting, maybe something that points out syntax errors, like Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code.
Avatar
EmoSaru 2021-12-31 00:03
So, this pack is not officially released on the EmoTracker package manager, and it's a bit of a mess. They've recreated custom maps in a VERY odd way, which unfortunately completely defeats all the normal scaling for maps. They've also locked the width of certain things to 1000px, in order to facilitate their strange workaround, which makes things even odder. Looking at this has actually added a new layout element type to my to-do list, but this pack will require substantial work from whoever maintains it to work well at low resolutions. (edited)

@Dethklokachu I figured you meant Nvidia DSR and AMD's equivalent technology, which lets you set the desktop to a bigger resolution than your monitor supports, and then downscales the resulting picture to your displays supported resolution. This would in effect "zoom out" your entire desktop and let more be visible. (edited)

How do I set the Tracker spell for TR (as I believe that is what the tracker is missing, which I assume is why the tracker wouldn't tell me the area was accessible). Also, if anything the location should be yellow or blue (telling me to check).

If a pack has a broadcast view, pressing F2 will bring up a separate window that you can capture for stream purposes. Otherwise, you just capture the emotracker window and crop the source

Also accessible from the gear icon in the title bar -> Application -> Broadcast view

Hey! If I do F11 whilst using my EmoTracker Official ALTTPR Support Standard Map Tracker I get to see all checks, even those totally unobtainable. My friends can right click to remove a check, even though if can't currently be checked, but for me nothing happens. Any idea why? 🙂

they have "always allow chest manipulation" active, meaning they can also mark inaccessible aka red checks as done

Super new to this still but if I wanted to click an item, and cause that to also click another item, is that possible? For example using A Link to the Past, if I found the Fire Rod and wanted that to mark having both the fire rod AND the ice rod, is that possible?

Just so we’re clear, I do not directly support SNI. They’re emulating usb2snes, which I do support. If they behave differently than usb2snes, that’s an SNI issue.

When attempting to use EmoTracker offline (no internet). it gives an "Auto-Tracking is having issues. Connection issues, missing game data, or a pack attempting to access restricted memory can cause this." However, Bizhawk 2.3.1, 2.4, 2.4.2 all say connection is established. Is EmoTracker restricted to online mode only for some reason? If so, what in it is requiring online mode? Is this because it is built off of the crowd control connector? If I start EmoTracker while I am internet connected, the tracker works fine. In green status. I can even then turn off wifi after connecting the lua and it will still work until I lose connection to the emu or EmoTracker is closed. It does not matter what package or game is being tracked, snes/gba/gbc, same behavior. (edited)

Auto tracking needs internet connection to initiate. Once it has started you can disconnect.

If you're trying to connect to the web tracker, you need to have and run qusb2snes and run luabridge.lua that comes with it. Or SNI and the connector.lua that comes with. (edited)

Technically you could manually track games run in zsnes. Pretty sure the ALttP Randomizer has coding to make it just not run in zsnes at all. In fact I think it displays that image instead.

CodeTracker does a lot of crazy stuff in order to support a lot of crazy things. It’s by far and away the heaviest pack in the package manager. The only suggestion I can offer is that if you don’t need some of the extra stuff CodeTracker tries to handle, you can use another pack.

Does EmoTracker not show everywhere that chests could be? In the light world by the first dungeon, there's the area with an older guy and you bomb a wall to get to three chests. I just assumed nothing of important was ever in there which is why it never showed up on EmoTracker but there was a hammer in there.

Emo has the dungeon prizes set up as progressive_toggles, so, you'd right-click IP ("Ice Palace") to show the round bauble (pendant) with the + ("special," in this case: green).

Shahabadoo should show as "mixed access" in a fresh load of the tracker.

There is a flashing icon in the actual game map...Is that when I should do that in emotracker?
Avatar
MikeTrethewey | Axiom Verge 2022-04-26 19:55
Yeah.
19:56
Some game modes do that on-pickup of the associated dungeon map.
19:56
That's more for the Z3R Discord, however.

Good to know! Question that may not be related to emotracker, a dark world dungeon will flash between the dungeon number and a diamond. Some diamonds and red and some are blue, what's the difference?

Red are 5 & 6. They're the "special" crystals.
19:57
The "special" crystals being denoted by the + in the icon image, just like the + for Green Pendant.

Hello
15:40
weirdly, I did some majora's mask rando and my computer crashed for no reasons
15:40
any idea? D:

cluekitty 2022-05-10 15:43
That could be any number of different issues and not necessarily specific emotracker. I don't know if full computer crashes fits in to general support here since this discord is for support of emotracker, not windows.

I was doing randos and got weird freezed mid game
15:50
using a wii; and it doesn't freeze when I do runs

Am pretty sure Emotracker just reads data from the game, it doesn't write data to the game. (edited)

Considering none of the Majora's Mask packs have autotracking, it doesn't even do that much in this case.

hey all! looking to set up autotracking. I have Snes9x-rr and I've used emotracker manually successfully. I can't find the connections folder to find the lua script. In fact, I can't find any folders alphabetically before "images", which could be normal but seems odd. Am I missing a connections folder? Do we set up autotracking a different way now? I don't see any lua scripts with "connections" in the scripts folder. I can post a screenshot of the winrar window if that is ok and will help

will it break things if I move that parent emotracker folder somewhere else?

I recommend making a shortcut to the folder and putting it on desktop or favorites
Avatar
EmoSaru 2022-05-14 15:21
you will break installation and updates by moving the EmoTracker installation out of the install location
15:21
So don't do that 🙂

FirstOriginalOGSteve2 2022-05-14 15:21
I already did that with the other folder thinking I was following that instruction. So undo that one and do it with this one?
15:22
awesome tool you've made, emo, thanks for all your work!

Lurch9229 2022-05-14 15:22
you shouldn't move any of the emotracker folders, so if you have you should replace them

not move, but make a shortcut, got it

it does the update bar and then stops at full, and then doesn't seem to apply the update

Question about the official ALttPR package: What do the location colors mean--specifically, yellow and orange? What's the difference?
20:24
I know what green, blue, red, and black mean.
Avatar
Khaemere 2022-05-19 20:31
Oh! I know this one. I saw it today in the #faq channel
20:31
I don’t remember the colors
20:32
But I saw it and thought, “oh, that’s what they mean!”

That's in #faq But yellow means either available via logic break, or in the case of dungeons/spots with multiple items, available dependant on key/item layout. Example: Desert Palace with book, fire, gloves, and a weapon for the boss, but no boots for the torch item, which might just be a junk item/map/compass, or might be the big key. Orange is for spots with multiple items, and some of the items are definitely not available. In the base, non-keysanity pack, this usually means you can explore the dungeon, but not get to/beat the boss

NathanAldenSr 2022-05-19 20:36
Ah, so that's why the colors were confusing to me, a new runner.
20:37
Yellow's meaning in particular is location-dependent.
20:37
It requires additional awareness.

technically orange is any combination of other colours except green/yellow, but i dont know if that specific scenario comes up in alttp

Dunno if this is the right spot for this question. I'll move it if it's not. Anyway, is there way to save the scale of the tracker once I have it at a size I like? So I don't have to re-set it to that size every time I open up the tracker? (edited)

The save function not only saves your progress, but also keeps the window dimensions you set.

Bear in mind, if the pack you're using gets an update, you will likely have to remake the save.

So i just downloaded emotracker for a link to the past randomizer stream i want to do and i noticed in the bottom right where the robot icon is it says SNES and then 2 other (i assume) emulators. does snes9x not work with the tracker?
10:24
also is there a way to test it without having to go live?

Lua is a scripting language used by emulators like Bizhawk or snes9x-rr. SD2SNES is the former name of FXPAK, the best SNES flashcart, though in this case it actually means the usb2snes protocol the cart uses to communicate with computers. There are also programs that emulate this protocol for emulators.

Sounds like you're also wanting #chathud-support, if you're wanting your viewers to be able to track for you. I'm less familiar with that feature.
