What's new in L2Pilot
Changes to the PC program and the phone app, newest version first. The PC program offers each update itself; the browser app refreshes on its own.
Version numbers missing from this list were test builds that never reached players.
1.0.18
- A [Buy a licence] button on the Licence tab of the PC program. It opens the L2Pilot shop already signed in to your account, and a bought licence lands on it straight away.
- Account passwords can now be 8 characters long (was 15).
- The “mana low” alarm is gone. The PM alarms stay as they were.
1.0.17
- The character’s level and Combat Power are read at every interface scale of the game (0.7–1.5). When something cannot be seen, the card on the PC says why instead of showing an empty field.
- Fewer false “you died” alarms: a status window that moved, or sits under effects, no longer sets one off.
- A new [Reports] tab on the PC and on the phone: daily reports for the last 60 days. Farm time, time lost with its cause (death, game closed or crashed, logout, nothing recorded), a drop in EXP and adena pace, and other income. The phone reads them from the PC, so the PC needs version 1.0.17.
- The morning report on Telegram stands out among the alarms: a title, who and which night, then the facts one under another (farm, EXP, adena, deaths, stalls). On Monday the week is added. It is on from the start once Telegram is linked.
- Adena “earned” instead of the change of the bag: the small rises from monsters count, spending is ignored, and big one-off income (a sale, a trade, mail) is shown apart. Pace, alarms and the report use it.
- The phone reconnects by itself after the network drops (up to 3 tries within 2 minutes) and shows “Reconnecting…”.
- A “Turn on alarms on this phone” card on the phone’s home screen. One tap asks the browser for permission.
- The [Save] button shows “✓ Saved”, or a red line when it did not work.
1.0.16
- The warning on the resurrection that costs EXP is gone. You see the game's own window in the picture and press as usual. The L-Coin resurrection and the free resurrection's confirmation stay.
- Room cards show the character's level and Combat Power, e.g. “Lv 73 · CP 1161”.
- Hide a person with the arrow in the top right corner of their card. L2Pilot first asks whether to mute their alarms too. [Show] brings back the card and the alarms.
- Alarms per person: the bell on a card lets you pick what you want to hear about (death, game crashed or closed, logged out, offline, no EXP, EXP and adena below pace).
- The PM alarm is now off by default and marked as experimental. If you already set it, your choice stays.
- The room's founder gets [Copy name and password] next to [Invite]. It keeps working after the program restarts.
- New first screen on the PC: two buttons, [Create an account] and [Recover your account]. Creating an account needs no code.
- Fixed: a new player with a licence code could get stuck on the PC linking screen. You enter a licence code on the Licence tab after creating an account.
1.0.10
- New “mana low” alarm on Telegram. You set the threshold yourself (1–95 %, default 10 %) on the PC or on the phone.
- The text of a PM on Telegram: “PM from {nick}: {text}”. The switch is on by default; turned off, you get the nick alone. We don't store the message: the server forgets it after sending.
- The potion alarm is removed.
- The PM alarm reads better: the trade chat no longer rings as a PM, one message rings once, and PMs missed on some PCs are now seen.
- The mana alarm no longer rings at 44 % or stays silent at 0 % when another game window covers the bar.
- Alarm settings changed on the phone reach the PC within 30 seconds.
1.0.6
- Telegram alarms come in your own language (all 14) and say exactly what happened: the character died, EXP stopped growing, the game crashed, logged out to the login screen.
- New alarms: “you got a PM”, plus an optional sound on a new PM.
- Russian in both apps rewritten with one set of terms. The phone's chat mode has a Cyrillic keyboard (and one with Ukrainian letters).
- A warning when L2Pilot runs as administrator. The picture does not work that way; start the program normally.
- When capturing the game window fails, the PC card says so instead of “Ready”, and the phone says that no picture arrived.
- The language picked with the flag survives a reload of the phone app.
1.0.5
- Keys follow the game window's keyboard layout: Z (autofarm) works on Czech and German layouts, and the chat takes the letters of any alphabet (ě š č, ä ö ü ß, Cyrillic).
- A language flag in the top right corner of the PC program and the phone app, 14 languages.
- One field for every code: an invite, your own recovery code or a code from the admin. Under it, help for a new computer or a reinstalled Windows.
- When one of your own devices waits for confirmation, a red bar with [Trust] appears at the top of the PC program.
- Fixed: after recovering the account on a PC you can set a password again, and a password login no longer raises a false recovery alarm.
- Phone full view: [UI ON / UI OFF] hides the controls, a slider sets how see-through they are, and they sit closer to the screen edges.
1.0.4
- The camera turns smoothly, and the wheel zooms smoothly instead of in jumps.
- The cursor follows your finger on the phone faster.
- Night Watch uses less of the graphics card while nobody watches.
- Farm statistics no longer lose the EXP or the adena after the game window changes size.
- “Autofarm ON / OFF” on the phone changes right after you press Z.
- Room cards stand level.
1.0.3
- An update never cuts sharing. A new version is needed only to start sharing; a running session keeps going. The installer never starts by itself.
- The PC program says “The game draws only N fps” when the game stays below 5 frames per second for 10 seconds. Then the game, not L2Pilot, limits the picture.
- A smoother picture on PCs where 1.0.2 gave about 30 frames per second.
1.0.2
- The picture goes up to 60 frames per second instead of 30, at the same bandwidth.
- The phone says “The game on the PC draws only N fps” when the game itself gives few frames.
- A mandatory update downloads and starts by itself after a session; the Windows prompt is still your click. (Since 1.0.3 the installer never starts by itself.)
1.0.1
- The picture line in the ⋯ menu on the phone and the laptop also shows the PC's side: frames at the source, frames encoded and what limits the encoder. Few frames at the source means the game or the window capture; few encoded means the encoder.
- The PC sends only numbers to this line.
1.0.0
- First public release: room invitations by nick, friends, one PC per account, shared room pins, phone controls and account controls.
- The Windows installer is signed with a Certum certificate; the PC program updates from a signed manifest. The phone app runs in the browser at app.l2pilot.com.
- Downloading is free; sharing a game needs an active licence.
