Glitch Companion 3.7

Features
-realtime mini map
-current street resource list
-travel bookmarks
-resources and snapshot tools
+keyboard shortcuts and quick slots

Original post (see updates below):
It all started with this idea.
I wanted quick shortcuts, so I decided to make a small script with Autohotkey.
It's a noob-like program language for non-devs like me :]
Then while I had that app running, I thought I totally could add additional tools and a nice GUI.
So I bundled other ideas from me or from the forums in three tabs, and a Glitch Companion.

It appears as an always-on-top widget, that you can move where you like over the game screen.
Here is how it fits in 1680x1050, you can probably place it over the chat in smaller resolutions.
This is a desktop app, and will not work with Mac os. It works with some limitations on Linux through Wine.
You can launch it from the source script if you feel paranoid and have Autohotkey 1.1+ installed,
or directly from the executable.
This is a standalone app, it's not for your browser
Requirements: Windows Xp or above or Linux with Wine

EDIT 2.0: New features
EDIT 2.1: Fixed keyboard for real
EDIT 3.0: Travel Book
EDIT 3.1: No worries release
EDIT 3.5: Snap 'em all
EDIT 3.6: Map updates
EDIT 3.7: New UI fixes

Download here : Glitch Companion 3.7 (1.1Mo)
Website HQ : Visit
Optional Greasemonkey launcher : Install
(For the launcher you need to have GM installed first and the app launched once, details)

  • The map database has been updated with coordinates for all the new streets and areas,
    And the new resources maps are now up and running thanks to Janitch from Glitch Atlas.
    No fancy new features, just fixed a little bug with the search field in the street tab, which didn't like being empty.

    If you already have Glitch Companion 3.5, everything *should* update automatically next time you launch it :]
    Otherwise the full download for 3.6 is in the first post as usual!

    (PS: Some of the new streets may not give your position until the issue described there is fixed)

  • Hmm, maybe mac with Wine or Parralels?

  • I don't know, I have no mac to test those, but try it and tell us ;)
    All I can tell is that it works on Linux with Wine, with just a few "glitches" with png transparency
    Maybe a Glitch Companion Lite version will happen some day for the browser, who knows

  • I get an error message: 

    "Error: Can't load icon.

     Specifically: data/cube.ico

      Line #
      --->   1755: Menu,Tray,Icon,data\cube.ico

    The current thread will exit."

    Any tips on getting the application to work? It refuses to launch, only showing that error message.

  • How strange
    You probably moved the executable (Glitchcom.exe) out of the folder?
    If you want to create a shortcut on your desktop, you may hold *alt* while dragging the file

  • Feel free to tell me when everything works fine btw  ^^

    Update 3.7:
    Default quickslots are back as examples for keys F1 to F12, as the (new?) shift+F hotkey seems to work for everyone
    More (updated) details about this feature here
    I also changed the coordinates for the "automatic" snapshot mode, to make it work with the new UI

    The companion window doesn't fit so well in the new game screen though, will think about alternatives eventually
