Proximity Log: dynamically filter your map log entries

nbanyan · Post by **nbanyan** » Mon Oct 29, 2012 10:20 pm

Proximity Log is a program for managing the navigation log in the game Evochron Mercenary created by StarWraith 3D Games LLC. This program is designed to reduce the number of navigation points displayed in-game according to user defined parameters. This is especially useful when you have a lot of entries in your navigation log, since the game will only display a certain number of entries.

I've created this simple program using C# and Gtk. I hope I found most of the bugs, but please let me know if you find any. I chose C# because it should be able to be compiled under Mac and Linux.

Currently, Gtk# is required to run this program. I am looking for a way to embed the needed libraries,
but in the mean time you can download "Gtk# for .Net" here:

Odd that it's not working for you. I've been developing it on Windows 7 64-bit. Does it give you any errors or does it simply never start? Is there an ErrorLog.txt in the directory you're running the program from? Is there an Have you tried running it in administrative mode to see if it's a permissions problem? (Windows can be rather peculiar about what it lets programs do, even if it's just reading and writing files)

Happy National Cosplay Day, Everyone!

I booted up my vista laptop (which I haven't touched in months) and tried launching the program there and windows responded with the "Proximity_Log has stopped working" dialog. I'm guessing this is what you're running into. I did some looking around and some expirimenting and found that the program runs after I installed .Net and Gtk for .Net

A simple program like this should never force a user to install developer libraries like Gtk.
I will continue looking around for a way to compile the libraries into the program like they should have been. If that fails, I'll attempt to find what files the program needs and add them to the download. However, I have no idea how long all that will take.
