Main Feature: Enhanced Scripting with Visual Studio/Rider Compatibility

Two months ago, I introduced a major new feature: the CustomUI overlay. It gave developers the freedom to build custom interfaces using the dynamic duo of C# and Razor, greatly expanding the possibilities for bot/aura customization. It also made navigating the EyeAuras interface more user-friendly.

That said, I realized there was still room for improvement. Developers are used to the power of integrated development environments (IDEs) such as Visual Studio and Rider, but until now those tools could not be fully utilized in the EyeAuras workflow. To change that, I improved the CustomUI overlay so your code can now be exported and saved as a C# project.

The exported project, including EyeAuras.SDK, can be opened in any IDE and gives you access to full autocomplete, unit testing capabilities, and much more. Keep in mind, however, that you still need EyeAuras to actually run the code. I am also working on support for connecting external NuGet packages, which will be the main focus in July.

Another highlight is the new Live Development mode, which lets you push changes into EyeAuras in real time. Whether you are tweaking styles or adding new bot logic, your changes can be reflected within seconds. The potential here is huge, especially with access to triggers, captured images, input simulators, and more.

Please note that actions and triggers currently still run on the old scripting engine, but I am working on migrating them to the new scripting engine while preserving backward compatibility.

Color Search Trigger: Mathematical Similarity Calculation Method

In addition to the previous improvements, I added a new similarity calculation method based on Euclidean distance to the color search trigger. You can read more about it on the EyeAuras Wiki.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

• [Overlays] Performance has been improved by using separate CPU cores, which makes the UI more responsive.
• [Bug Fix] Fixed an issue that caused a crash when switching between auras while the editor was still in the loading phase.
• [Bug Fix] Resolved intermittent crashes in Window Selector, the component used to choose the target window.
• [Bug Fix] Fixed an inconsistency in Window Selector where the matching window was not always selected automatically.
• [Bug Fix] All dialog windows were optimized to open faster and no longer display visual artifacts.
• [Image/Color/Text Search] [Bug Fix] Fixed an issue where capturing unresponsive windows could cause the application to freeze.
• [Image/Color/Text Search] [Bug Fix] Removed a UI limitation that prevented selecting 0 FPS. This fix is especially useful for script-driven scenarios.

• [Denoise Effect] Should be more effective now in, well, removing noise
• [Effects Editor] UI changes - added Copy/Paste/Clear, made some performance optimizations
• [Bugfix] Fixed region selection when there were scaling image effects applied (Resize, Rescale)
• [Bugfix] [ImageSearchTrigger] “Save image to file” was not working correctly - it was saving Preview rather than the current image
• [Bugfix] *[Search] Window borders were not always correctly calculated causing image cropping
• [Bugfix] [SendSequence] Fixed crash that occurred when “Show notification” was enabled
• [Bugfix] [SendSequence] “Show notification” should not correctly show current sequence execution progress

• [Bugfix] Removed “Add to blacklist” button in Window Selector which is just a leftover of a functionality that was removed ages ago
• [Rescale Image Effect] Image can now be scaled by both axes - X and Y which will be useful for gathering a data set for machine-learning purposes

• [Color Replacement Effect] Changed how Matching/NonMatching colors are saved into config - now their values are preserved even if actual replacement is disabled

• Bugfix - shortcut to EyeAuras.exe was not created on fresh install / application was not restarting correctly after update
• Bugfix - login operation was working correctly under some conditions

• [Image/Color/Text/ML Search] Added new preview mode - "without Effects" which temporarily disables all effects applied to an image and allows to more precisely select region
• [Color Replacement Effect] Bugfix - selected colors were not correctly saved to a config

• [Image/Color/Text/ML search] Fixed a bug in region selector - selected area was not scaled correctly

• [Image Effects] Added new image effect - Color Range Replacement

  • This effect allows you to specify a color range and two values - replacement color for matching pixels and replacement color for non-matching. This allows you to greatly simplify recognition in many cases by removing variability from the image, for example, replace all shades of red on HP globe with some unique color, Color Search for this color, as a result Similarity will give you you HP percentage (roughly).

• [Image Effects] Added new image effect - Denoise

  • Removes noise from an image, do not have anything more to say about it. Kinda similar to Gaussian blur, but gives better results in some cases

• [ML Search] Classification performance improvements
• [Image Editor] Fixed few bugs which were introduced in one of the latest versions
• General performance improvements

• Aura Tree responsibility improvements
