Tool Others F95Checker [WillyJL]

[defnotalt]

That section from the OP you quoted is outdated, the correct version is on github, I'm yet to update the op here after 11.0. But yeah now it's a cache api I run specifically for this tool.

Yeah, I actually saw the cache API mention in the github readme, and then went on F95 to ask you just in case.

I tried to design it in a way that can't really be abused that much, and it's cached as much as possible on top with Cloudflare, so you should be good to use it if it's helpful for whatever you're working on did you have any use in mind already?

I was planning to use it for some light statistics gathering of game thread info, nothing that requires being very up-to-date, so I thought your API would be pretty good for my use case. It's going to be a personal project for now, but I might post the findings at some point if they're interesting thanks for your efforts!

Isn't the account now optional?
If I clear the cookies and RPDL session, it opens the login popup

It is still using F95 account to search for games (I think) and to check alert & message counts.

EDIT: You can disable the alert & message checks under Refresh:

Checking notifications is disabled by default now for new users, but previous users will have it enabled, and it obviously requires and account
Check what WhiteVanDaycare said

OK, I have to ask a silly question. I accidentally switched to BG mode 'on purpose' Edit: I was curious about something. Now need to know: How do I Switch OFF BG mode? It's stuck. Do I need to uninstall? v11.0.1

if i know right, it should be that option marked there. Your FS checker is in the notification bar, it might be hidden in the up arrow, the Show hidden icons.

It's in the system tray. Bottom right of taskbar. Windows hides new icons by default, so you need to click the little arrow to show all icons (then you can move the f95checker one to the main taskbar tray area so it's always visible). You can click it to open the gui, or right click to do some other things while in background mode

 

[GrammerCop]

I have the icon dragged out.

Switch to BG changes to switch to GUI, and vice versa. but system tray icon always remains. how to get rid of it?

 

[WillyJL]

how to get rid of it?

You don't, it's always been there (atleast for like the last 2 years or something). Put it into the overflow menu if you don't want to see it. But yeah always been there, even before you accidentally switched to background mode.

Not really an F95Checker question, more of a Windows question - but here goes (assuming Win11):

1. Right click on the task bar and select 'Taskbar settings'
   
2. Expand 'Other system tray icons'
   
3. Find F95Checker.exe in the list and turn it off, it will now be in the hidden icons that only come up when expanded
   

You're welcome and Happy New Year.

No it hasn't. Trust me I'm fully aware of what icons appear on my computer. The first time it appeared is when I clicked switch

I am familiar with this method of hiding the icon.

I guess this has never been addressed before, or nobody cared, but right now the icon comes up whenever the app is run. I guess I need to know where the BG Mode value is stored so I can delete the reference so it stops going into BG Mode.

Edit: I am thinking it won't do any good to uninstall / reinstall because of where the values are stored.

I kinda figured you could figure it out, lolz. I've been using it for years now and it has always had a system tray icon.

Are you looking to make it so it exits instead of moving to the background maybe?

I mean no disrespect, but the tray icon is always enabled regardless of what options you set. The app won't start without creating the tray icon. You just never noticed it, maybe windows had hidden it in the overflow menu by default so you never saw it until you looked for it? But no amount of uninstalling and reinstalling will make it go away, as it's always enabled and always been there, hidden in overflow menu or not.

I recently started getting an error on 2 different games. It is saying Thread not found for Law School and Tales of Legendary Lust: Aphrodisia.

Yes, I was looking to make it exit. But, according to Willy it never exits. Oh, well.

That's not at all what i said. I said the tray icon is always there when the tool is open (background mode or not). If you quit the tool, the tray icon goes away.
Whether clicking the X at top right of the window quits out of f95checker entirely (including removing the tray icon), or instead goes into background mode (closes the window but keeps the tray icon) is an option: the one WhiteVanDaycare showed you.
This option is intended for people who always want f95checker in background and don't want to click the "BG Mode: Switch" button, they can just close the windows and f95checker remains open in background mode.
This setting (and all other settings) has no impact on whether the tray icon is present while the window is open, it's always there, and that's what i thought you were saying wasn't the case.

Ok. What I'm saying is that I've never seen the icon in the system tray. From what you guys are saying the icon has always appeared in the system tray so I can admit I may have missed it or overlooked it. I now understand what you guys are saying.

Thanks for your persistence in helping me to understand, both you and WhiteVanDaycare.

WillyJL Likewise, for Law School and Welcome to Port Haven.

There are a few known games that give this error, one being Law School. It was discussed a few pages ago

 

[FaceCrap]

If a thread gives an error that it can't be found, then this is very likely the result of the thread having been temporarily set to private for reasons. Most likely reason downloads being examined for possible malware. If the cache happens to recheck that thread when it is in that state, it'll very likely stay in that state until the refresh period expires in the cache (even if the thread has become publicly visible in the meantime). Or until WillyJL gets the chance to manually force a refresh for the affected threads. As he stated, he's currently not in a position to do so...
