Bumping this because it's a neat application and the logo is cute.

Only issue is, I can't load maps

How strange. This means it isn't able to load the navmap webpage. Can you access it normally in a browser?

Anyway installing via pip failed so I built it on Fedora 32.

Mind going into details? I tried the pip installer on a couple of different Linux installations and it seemed to install the application and dependencies OK but it's something that's hard to test. Good to know it worked manually at least.

Given it adds interaction to FL itself, might want some Dev greenlighting. Just my 2c.

I've made sure to get this. Regarding the second point you raised, after reading your thoughts I decided to test something. This is mildly embarrassing but I now doubt it actually does require administrator privileges. When I first wrote the hook a few years ago, the launcher itself ran as administrator. I think what happened is that when it started Freelancer that process inherited some of the UI protections Windows has for privileged applications. I just assumed it was something to do with DirectX. So, based on what I've seen so far, I should be able to release a version which doesn't require admin access.

How can I get information about Gallia? I wanted to go and see it but it doesn't show any Infocard and no merchant's road.

Updated download links to version 0.1.1.

• The application no longer requires or runs as administrator on Windows.

I'm not too sure what you're asking, sorry. You can see the Gallic systems in the top left of the universe map and read their infocards. If the last part of your question is referring to route/path finding like Freelancer Companion, that isn't implemented yet.

For what it matters.

Thanks for the info. There's not much that can be done about false positives unfortunately. It's an inevitable part of developing and packaging software for Windows (until you're a big enough publisher to buy a certificate and/or get whitelisted, I assume). The only antivirus I could test was Avast which didn't flag anything up. I also avoided using UPX to reduce the size of the executable since AVs hate that.

Does it need any external deps? All I'm seeing is this

I know it doesn't like high scaling on Windows yet - that could explain the first screenshot. I'm not clear on what caused it to crash though. Please send logs.

Edit: Actually, pretty sure I know. Fixed. I just need details of your display/scaling config now.

Edit 2: Testing high-DPI fixes now. It's difficult because the problem doesn't manifest if I increase my scaling on Windows, only on an actual high-DPI monitor which I can't test easily.

This is impressive stuff.

Strangely, it doesn't display any info about my accounts in the Roster (beside the account names and descriptions), nor do any of the augmentations seem to work for me.
