Path Of Exile 2 Levelling Overlay

314

Hey everyone! I've just released the beta for Path Of Levelling 2 - an overlay which displays layout images and notes for every combat zone in the game. The app reads the client.txt that PoE2 spits out during play and automatically updates the notes and images, which is the same way that all the levelling overlays in PoE1 worked! You can get the latest release here, just download the .exe:

https://github.com/JaredRabie/path-of-levelling-2/releases

The images and notes are largely taken from Lolcohol's speedrunning guides on Mobalytics: https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/guides/campaign-layout-act-1
https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/guides/campaign-layout-act-2
https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/guides/campaign-layout-act-3

So massive shoutout to Lolcohol for letting me use them!

All the windows are fully draggable/resizable with the Ctrl+Alt+S hotkey, and each act/zone title is a dropdown in case you want to look ahead :)

Wow this is great and will be super useful tomorrow around 2pm central (pray to the server gods or sysadmins)

Thank you for your effort and work!

Hilarious, I actually copy pasted all of his discord layouts into an excel sheet in preparation for tomorrow. This might be nice though

at 1920x1080 the main overlay has horizontal and vertical scrollbars showing, any way to resize it to fit other resolutions?

I just have to run the .exe and I'm good? Can't get on the game to really test it.

Might give it a try thanks

Is it 100% safe?

I mean, looks like bannable for me, but maybe i am paranoidal too much.

Interesting, does this work like that one Auto Hot Ley script that I never remember the of that starts with an L?

I tried this and it made it so I couldn't log out to character screen or to log in screen. It just sat there, I disabled it and was able to log out properly again. Also I was messing around with positioning and now the map is off my screen somewhere, not sure how to retrieve it. Restarted it, no dice.

Scroll bar on the right side of my screen unless i hid the zone info with ctrl alt l

Uninstalled it for now.

This is not working for me. I had to change the default location for the Client.txt but no matter which act or location I go to its stuck on the riverways in act 4

not trying to downplay your software but you can just overlay individual Steam overlay windows (like browser window or a text file), which would remove the need for an external program.

kudos to you tho. it's great to have options!

  • You really need a check on startup for whether the program is already running; currently it will just open any number of instances of the program.

  • You should constantly check whether Path of Exile 2 is the topmost window and only display the overlay if PoE2 is the active window. Currently it shows always, which is pretty unusable.

  • You need buttons to control the program, not just ctrl+alt+whatever. In particular, you need a button to close the program.

  • You should check for the client.txt in both the default standalone location and the default steam location.

  • You should have a button to open a file explorer, rather than have the user manually input the client.txt location.

Nice start though.

Looks great! How do I fully reset it? I've dragged a section out of the boundary and can't get it back.

Rain-Outside1

How do you change Client.txt location? It does not let me under Ctrl+Alt+S

If people want to use this, you've made a great tool for the community, which is awesome.

However, this makes me wonder what motivates people to actually play the game. If you use this and a build you don't have to think at all. You might as well just watch a youtube video of someone else playing this game. Not trying to be too negative here, but I just honestly don't understand this. Isn't the fun of this game to explore and find stuff out for yourself?

Would be nice if it could be dragged to the 2nd monitor.

Dude this is so awesome. So many people asked for exactly this, and I'm really happy you are working on it :)

drallcom31

A portable version would be nice.

Why should we use this over exile-ui ? It’s essentially the same thing. Can’t you guys just work together? https://github.com/Lailloken/Exile-UI

Mine does not update Zone automatically, is this the right log. E:\Grinding Gear Games\logs\Client.txt ? Game client, not Steam.

got error after launch: failed to image from path ...appData/programs/poeLeveling/resources/app.asar...icon.ico
What to do?

Any suggestions on editing the "Client.txt" path? When i click the text field it just seems to be a button with a hyper link to GGG

For instance my addy is similar to "$:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Path of Exile 2\logs\Client.txt"
