Betrayal Info - Lailloken/Exile-UI-Legacy GitHub Wiki

Feature Overview

  • simple mode: streamlined presentation of syndicate rewards that can be accessed quickly without alt-tabbing or covering large parts of the screen

  • the entire info-sheet can be customized to suit your personal needs or the current trade-meta

  • advanced mode: illustration of reward changes when two members swap positions

  • prio-view: illustration of the desired end-state of the board image

User Interface & Settings

  • main UI-elements:

    • text-panel divided into four parts, top edge of the screen

    • overview-table with all members and their rewards, left/right edge of the screen

  • this feature has its own section in the settings menu, with UI and sub-feature options

  • accessing the betrayal-info section in the settings menu will trigger its overlays in order to allow customization outside of actual syndicate encounters

Requirements

  • the 'betrayal' image-check has to be set up in the 'screen-checks' section of the settings menu

Usage: Simple Mode

  • the info-sheet is accessed by pressing the omni-key (default: middle mouse) when the syndicate board is up

  • clicking a name in the overview-table will show that member's rewards at the top of the screen

  • left-clicking a reward in the top panel will change its color (clicks toggle between green, yellow, red), representing its ranking

  • right-clicking a reward in the top panel will change its color to white or teal, representing neutral and high-priority (i.e. 'tier 0') ranking

Usage: Advanced Mode (w/o image-recognition)

  • you can also perform advanced searches by clicking two divisions in the overview-table (for encounters where two members swap positions)

  • for the example above, you would click 'R' next to Aisling, then 'I' next to Leo to get this result:

    • at a glance, you can tell that Aisling's move improves her rewards, whereas Leo's move makes his rewards worse

  • regular clicks on a name will reset the queue (in case you made a mistake and need to reset)

Prio-view: Setup

  • the settings menu has a label 'prio-view settings' that will be highlighted in red if setup by the user is required

  • opening the betrayal-info section automatically shows four white squares on the screen image

    • step 0: make sure you have not zoomed into or moved the syndicate board

    • step 1: drag each square into a position so that their top-left corners align with the top-left corners of the division leaders' cards image

    • step 2: try out number-values in the edit field next to 'frame dimensions' until the squares' dimensions are identical to the cards' sizes (the value applies automatically while typing) image

    • step 3: click save

Prio-view: usage

  • holding the omni-key when the board is up will overlay portraits of all members with 'tier 0' rewards (teal highlighting) during the duration

  • this can be used to cross-check your current 'board-situation' and see how close it is to the desired end-state

  • limitation: this overlay will only show up to six portraits per division in order to not clutter the board too much

    • the last line in the overview-table shows how many tier 0 rewards there are for each division

Image recognition: setup

  • in order to use image recognition, you have to screen-cap an image for each individual syndicate member and one for each division (there is an example video at the end of this section)

  • hold right-click and press the omni-key while hovering over a syndicate member to initiate screen-capping

  • the Windows snipping tool will open with which you have to screen-cap a specific part of the member's 'display card'
    image image
    image

    • don't screen-cap the character themselves because the background is different depending on whether they are leader or not

    • if a name on the 'display card' takes two lines, screen-cap (parts of) the second line

    • try to screen-cap parts of the name that don't overlap with the image (yellow area in picture 2), while also avoiding the side-edges (use the discoloration of the parchment as a guide and add a little more distance to be safe)

    • from my testing, screen-capping parts of an area within the yellow box in the second picture is enough for image recognition to succeed

  • a new window will open with a preview of the screen-cap and a dropdown-menu to select the corresponding member/division from
    image

    • upon clicking an item on the list, the screen-cap will be saved and that member/division should be detectable via image recognition

  • example video of this process

Image recognition: usage

  • navigation and usage is a bit different in image-recogniton-mode:

    • you can hover over a syndicate member and press the omni-key to automatically load the corresponding info-sheet (the current division will be highlighted)

    • advanced searches are performed by scanning the first member normally, then pressing shift + omni-key on the second member

Compatibility: older Windows versions

  • it is possible that Windows versions older than 10 don't have the snipping tool that this method of screen-capping uses

  • you will have to take screenshots and do the snipping manually, then save the images as bitmap-files

    • the betrayal-info section in the settings menu has a button to open the image folder where the files have to be saved

    • the files need to contain the members'/divisions' names, e.g. aisling.bmp, leo.bmp, transportation.bmp etc.

Remarks

  • this is my take on cheat-sheets that go around on reddit, and on how to incorporate their information into the client

  • I only use a single monitor and hate alt-tabbing, so that's how this came to be

  • personally, I also find those cheat-sheets somewhat lacking in readability and presentation

  • this is more or less a test run for potential info-sheets for future leagues/mechanics that are more complex than betrayal (but similar in structure)
