D2OL Xtreme Watch Dog v0.0.1 *BETA*
Update: v0.0.2 has been released, see the thread here.
Since D2OL Daddy doesn’t run too well as a service I decided to make my own application built as a service, not a standard exe trying to run as a service, that does pretty much the same thing as D2OL Daddy does.
D2OL_XtremeWatchDog v0.0.1 (Build 18930) *BETA*
The only drawback is it does require you to have the .NET Framework installed on your system. (I know flame me now)
That can be downloaded and installed through Windows Update or directly from here.
Once that is installed the install package for D2OL_XtremeWatchDog is only 290KB. Download D2OLXWD_Setup(v0.0.1).exe and run it to have the service installed and automatically started.
By default it only monitors/adjusts the DockWin.exe and GridWin.exe processes, as in my testing this is all that seems necessary; however, you can set it to monitor the D2OL.exe process as well. You have the option to monitor/adjust just the main process or the main process and the threads. Maybe someone can test the various configurations and determine which one works the best?? In addition you can have it monitor/adjust itself as well. You can change these settings by modifying the settings.ini file located in the "Program Files\D2OL Xtreme Watch Dog" folder. Just set which processes you want it to monitor by setting them to TRUE.
Default setttings.ini File
[PROCESSES]
DOCKWIN=TRUE
GRIDWIN=TRUE
D2OL=FALSE
D2OLTHREADS=FALSE
D2OLXWD=FALSE
D2OLXWDTHREADS=FALSE
If you have any questions/problems or think of any other features that would be useful let me know. For example would it be useful to set the priority for the D2OL.exe process to just below normal instead of idle? Maybe make that configurable, etc…
