Guild Wars 2

Hiyas, mainly because my 2nd Monitor got broken I wrote this little programm
It reads the GW2LFG Database and puts it in an Overlay

Features:
- Magnifying Glass: sets your Filter (some more variation than GW2LFG.com has)
- Refresh Icon: Manuall loads Data from GW2LFG
- Autorefresh Timer
- Opacity
- Pin: To set the Window Always on Top

Notes:
- .NET4.0 Required!!!
- Always on Top is working only in windowed or windowed Fullscreen mode
(Dont bother me to write a directX plugin for non-windowed-fullscreen )
- The programm is Stand-Alone and portable has no installation at all, deleting the .exe is deleting the programm
- Internet Connection required (uh wonder wonder)
- Norton AV and Bitdefender will mourne cause its an unknown Exe and contains DLLs (cause it’s portable), you can check the File on Virustotal.com before executing if you have any doubts.
- When you click on a field and press CTRL+C it will copy the content to your clipboard (very useful with names)

To create a new LFG you have to visit gw2lfg.com – the Tool is just reading the existing entries!

Programm was designed mainly for my personal use what means that there are some small design flaws … well I never named the Buttons Tooltips

If you find any Bugs just send me a Mail here in the Forums (not ingame …)
If you like the Tool just send me all your Gold (ingame, not here in the Forum) :P

Oh basically I informed the guy from gw2lfg.com about this tool but never got a message back

Great start.

Since it’s loading the entire list on each refresh (or at least I think that’s what’s happening) the refreshes are slowing things down a fair bit. And lacks a button to pause/resume the chosen refresh cycle once a potential group has been located (which may not be necessary if the refresh load is able to be fixed).

Thanks for sharing. You open to providing the source for verification purposes / branching?

It is loading the Web Stream of the site, with a small browser engine in the background.
Its the same effect as if you refresh the gw2lfg website.

to pause it just turn off autorefresh, I never thought of an Autopause option, to be honest it would add to much options to Autopause and would make the program unnecessarily complex.
The Best filter is the user.
In Example I just used it to look for a storyline dungeon group at night, refresh on 30 sec, very small window, always on top and opacity to 40%, so if anyone opened a Group for this Dungeon I would see it without changing back to any Browser

The Programm is written in simple C# .NET4.0 fell free to use a .NET Disassembler

Have Fun
