[TOOL] Planetside NS Portal 0.5

I'm looking to add another 2 monitors to go in the empty corners as I ran out of space almost immediately after I got the three extra two years ago. That's only when I'm working though. When I'm done with work, I turn all but two of them off because two is more than enough space for doing everything normal.

I've been receiving a lots of requests on making the App runs overlay on top of Planetside 2 so I did some looking into it.
I can make the app runs inside a a browser but none of current out-of-the-box browser support plugin to enabled it ( Steam browser, Overwolf )
Forcing overlay need to inject into Planetside process, which can result in false cheating detected.
Virtual monitors decrease FPS too much.
Planetside runs "Fullscreen windowed" is always on top of other windows.

If you know how to make Chrome or Firefox runs overlay on top of Planetside, please tell me, right now here's how I do:

Download this little file: LINK , run it, set its shortcut key to something, I use Shift-L
Set Planetside to runs "Windowed" ( not "Fullscreen Windowed" )
Press the shortcut key defined before.
So now I can play Planetside without windows borders, press Win-Tab to switch to other windows, I don't even have to see the Taskbar.

Windows RT support? Otherwise this looks awesome! Great idea.

I already have a lot of stuff on my screen.

I just alt-tab. Works fine for me!

Hey guys I've just updated the App to version 0.5.5, thanks everyone so much for your feedbacks and support. This update included many little fixes and tweaks based on your suggestions:

Download HERE including both Dropbox links & Google Play link.

-Version check is less stupid.
-Infantry icon placing is where it should be.
-Website button now link correctly.
-Portal List has number of participants.
-Press Enter clear chat input box.

New things with Option menu:
-Access to Option menu after connected.
-Map Objects scale frequency (for mobile devices if you notice sluggish behavior while zooming, on PC you can just go nuts with it)
-Zoom sensitivity slider in Option menu.
-Reverse zoom in Option menu. ( For those who want to watch the world burns... or just like to feel weird while pinch zooming )

I sent out a message to Luperza, she said she may feature it in the next FNO

Video of "How to Use"???
Would love this to show to my crew and see what we could do with it...

Super cool man :-D

I've ben thinking about it but keep postponing. I'll try to make one.

One thing my outfit noticed was the inability to inform when enemy forces are destroyed. For example, player 1 places a sunderer icon on the map to mark an enemy position. Player 2 destroys said sunderer and player 1 doesn't notice in game. There is no visual way to quickly communicate that the sunderer was destroyed, you cant delete another players icon and there is no marker to say its been dealt with.

Can you include this functionality into a future update?

This is truly amazing, ill be DL this once i hit home

I've been receiving message about connecting problem with the App. I suspect that the public Master Server sometimes gets overload with request. Since it only needed for Matching & IP redirecting, I'll implement a Direct IP connecting option.
If you the App runs fine with you, please also take a bit of time to send me a message or email, it'd help me less panic and narrowing down the problems.
If you guys run into problem with the App, it would really help me fixing it by sending me the file "output_log.txt" of its Windows client.
the file is inside "Planetside NS Portal 0.5.1_Data" folder.
Thank you so much

Will do, thank you for the feedback

Perhaps you could make it so if someone destroys it, they could mark it in the application as destroyed.

It would then show on the application when you select that sunderer/objective "Username reports this sunderer is destroyed. Confirm or deny?", and give people the option to either confirm it or deny it. If it gets more than 90% confirmed in 10 votes, it gets removed from the map.

I've been looking into connection issues, Portal host might need to forward port 25767
In some case it just works, in some cases the Facilitator can't punch through NAT
I'm very sory for the inconvenience, please bear with me...
In the next Update I'll put option for direct IP and Port connection, so Portal host can have more advanced tools to use.
If it works without hiccup for you I'm super happy. But if it not please try to port-forward and send me the "output_log.txt" in the App's data folder to ovakin@gmail.com, it'd help me so much!

Big shout out to mblujustice for sending me the log file to help narrow down the issue:

This is awesome

Norton hates that file and refuses to touch is. But I did what libbmaster posted and it looks to work so far. I followed the link below and so far seems to work. PS2 acts like a border-less window put you can open other windows over it now. Now to pass this on to others and see if they have the same luck.

I've updated the App to version 0.6, with following changes:
- A MasterServer runs on a private server ( finally! ). The one running on free server is still there, you can change between them in Option menu. Please note that you can see only Portals listed on the same MasterServer that you chose.
- GUI Scale! Texts, icons or button too small on phone? Scale them in Option Menu
- Large facilities Icons with colors for better navigation ( biolab-green , ampstation-cyan , techplant-blue )
- Press on map to see the name of the Closest base to where you pressed.
- Largest Facilities on map with names always visible.

KEEP GOING. DON'T STOP.

What you are doing is awesome.

I agree. This has the potential to be game changing.

3x very nice!
Agree with Fox, this has the potential to do something great for the game.

And oh, IN before SOE puts glow strips all over it.
