Screen checks

Preface: why screen-checks?

  • Path of Exile doesn't have official addon/mod support, which means 3rd-party tools generally do not have information on what's happening inside the client, for example:

    • whether the inventory or stash is open

    • whether the player is accessing a full-screen interface

    • whether the player is interacting with an NPC

  • screen-checks provide this kind of information and expand the feature-set a tool can offer, while also improving user-experience

    • the gamescreen pixel-check allows the tool to automatically toggle its overlays and UI elements by adapting to what's happening on screen, removing the need for manual toggling by the user

    • the integrated image-checks make a context-sensitive hotkey possible, i.e. accessing a multitude of features with a single hotkey (see omni-key)


User Interface

image

  • the screen-check configurator has its own section in the settings menu

Usage

  • this is where screen-checks have to be calibrated before using certain features

    • red highlighting indicates that setup by the user is required

    • this section will only show screen-checks of features that are actually enabled at the time

  • each screen-check has an info, cal, and test button

  • long-click info for instructions and follow them closely (this is important for repeatable and consistent results)


Negative results after game updates

  • game updates sometimes include changes in interfaces or textures, which makes calibration data outdated

  • if you notice the omni-key not working correctly anymore, recalibration is the first thing you should try
