Version History
1.0.7
  • Changed the IP for the AutoUpate server. The old machine had to come down. The new one should be stable for quite awhile.
  • Rewrote all of the code to make it true OOP. Along the way, fixed potential memory leaks and optimized a few functions.
  • All subfolders and files are 8 characters or less now. This should help with some of the older versions of zip programs and OSes.
  • If parsing crashes, the line it crashed on will be logged. This should assist in tracking down future parsing bugs.
  • Added graphic to buttons.
  • Tweaked class skill table.
  • Tweaked balanced group stats.
  • Removed "Create Macros" button.
  • GroupMaker is now resizable.

1.0.6
  • AutoGroup is in. Check the help system for more details.
  • Parsing no longer crashes when doing a /who on your friends list.
  • Parsing no longer crashes when a person is AFK and <LINKDEAD> at the same time.
  • Level sorting now goes in descending order.
  • Pressing the enter key in the parsing options works now.
  • Importing and exporting now recognizes *.TXT as a valid file.
  • Log parsing will no longer duplicate names that have been imported into the Available Player Base.
  • The ANON value no longer overwrites class / level values if a player has them.
  • Removing groups is more robust now. The current spot will stay selected when removing a group.
  • Changed up error logging so that more errors are logged now.

1.0.5
  • A typo in the "Your who request was cut short" string was causing log parsing to crash. This has been fixed.
  • Error logging has been added. If you crash for some reason, or something breaks, close the program and take a look at the error_log.txt. Please post the contents of the error log on our forum so we can fix the bug. When you start GroupMaker again, the error log will be overwritten.

1.0.4

  • The sort option in the "Options" menu is now available. This allows you to sort the APB and Raid Lists by name, level and class.
  • Config file has been introduced. Anything you set in the top menus will be saved to your hard drive.
  • Most people are using .txt files for their player lists, so the "Import File" buttons have a txt file filter now to make it easier to find your player lists.
  • Log Parsing is now available.
  • Update notification is in. You will be informed of new versions of GroupMaker.

1.0.3

  • There is a rare bug that involves the custom drag and drop cursor. Unfortunately, the bug causes total application lockup. Because of this, I have disabled the pack llama cursor for now. Hopefully at some point in the future I'll be able to bring it back.
  • "Assassin" and "Troubadour" classes are now recognized.
  • Cleaned up a lot of code for my own benefit.
  • Drag and dropping a player within a full group will no longer give the "full group" warning. Instead, it will swap the positions with the player you drop onto.
  • Classes with lower-case lettering and no spaces are now accepted on file import. I.e. shadowknight.
  • Dragging a player to a group will insert instead of adding it to the bottom of the list.
  • Double-clicking players will now move them to the right by one list. Double-clicking a player in a group will move them back to the Raid List.
  • It is now more obvious when a group is highlighted.
  • Editing players is in. Right-click a player and select "edit player" to edit them.
  • The html that GroupMaker creates now has a little signature at the bottom. We won't sacrifice anyone that removes this before posting it on the web, but please let us advertise this little bit.
  • Create HTML has been changed to "Export to File." You can export to an html or plain text file.
  • Files that have been exported from the ABP or Raid List will have proper formatting in notepad now. (They won't have one long run-on line).
  • The zip file now has a readme.txt for helping to figure out Java.

1.0.2
  • Drag and Drop implemented.
  • Renaming groups is now supported: double-click group name to rename it.
  • Selector on Raid List no longer disappears when removing players.
  • Clicking on any part of the Group Lists will now select the list.
  • Added version number to the window title.

1.0.1
  • Help system is now in place. Use Help > Contents to get help on the various buttons.
  • Import file now checks to make sure level is in range.
  • "Create HTML File" now automatically appends ".html" to the file name.
