Looking for someone who is experienced in Linux to help me make the .appimage and .deb files for this release

Caio [2488372]

Nice one!
Unsure if is possible to have, like the other for medical, booster cooldown, etc., the option of open in faction or in items each link (and e refill maybe?)

GNSC4 [268863]

If you have version 1.0.18 please update as I had a typeo in the index and so it wasn't recalling the API calls to update the info after the first load.

-Fortie- [3566613]

This is a great handy little tool to have sitting on my desktop while I work haha.

Would be good if it had a travel bar maybe to show time remaining on flight and where you're flying to?

Maybe even a racing bar also?

 

Even if they are able to be toggled on/off in the settings?

GNSC4 [268863]

No, unfortunately, you are not. I need to find someone willing to compile it for me, as I only have a Windows PC I just need someone who has that OS to compile it so I can add it to the github. It's written to be compatible; it just needs to be compiled.

 

Edit: I now have support for Linux and MacOS built by github so you can now install it, sorry about that. Link

Not bad...  Couple notes:
-Last few repo builds didnt include the installer files, only source files
-Add option to disable flashing "Ready" statuses, either in settings or an individual button besides the flashing element if you wanna be fancy

-Minimized window state isnt great on Windows... its just a tiny maximize button and its hard to drag and drop... Maybe a "T" from the Torn logo?  Perhaps also add config option to change the window border color when minimized...
-Another useful option would be "Only show travel timer in minimized state"...

All meant to be constructive criticism!  Great job on a useful utility!

Hey

 

This is awesome......exactly what i have been looking for. Thank you.

 

Only thing is i cant get the racing / flying to show. Am i doing something wrong?

GNSC4 [268863]

thats why the latest versions dont have .exe's is I've been trying to get GH to create the files lol and it keeps failing XD

GNSC4 [268863]

Finally got GH Actions to work, that was quite the learning curve lol

1.0.42 released with all OS versions available MacOS, Linux, Windows.

GNSC4 [268863]

It should show up automatically if you are in a race or actively traveling. Make sure you have a version that has those features, as it was added in 1.0.30, so you need that version or newer for it to work.
