here's something stupid I couldn't have done in a while but there it is...so far, the program doesn't let me log in...even though, my log in credentials are correct. I don't have a goddamn clue of what it is about.

This tool looks promising. I look forward to trying out this tool once the login thing is straightened out. The 'temporary solution' is beyond my abilities.

If I am not mistaken, "At this time, the tool cannot be used unless you have the ability to apply the 'temporary solution'". Even after reading 'please read this', I also downloaded it and tried to run it. Then I realized because the tool cannot login, the tool cannot work, at this time. Logging into the website does not help logging into the tool (I tried this too). Now I understand what you were saying. Some people (like myself) are a bit slow catching on.

yeah, also doesn't help that most users see the browser selector and assume that the tool will use the browser to login or to check games... not at all, that browser selector is only to choose what browser is used to open the webpages when you decide to visit them, all of the web stuff to interact with f95zone is done by the tool itself through raw http requests, not relying on a browser (that would make it like the 1.0-3.0 versions of the tool that took about 3-4 minutes to refresh 50 games)

This is a temporary solution to allow f95checker to login
its not "user friendly" but certainly quick and easy to do and the few seconds it takes to do it will definitely save you the time it would need to check the games manually.

This will work for edge, chrome and brave. (should work for any browser with similar steps)

1. Close f95checker if its already open

2. locate your settings file
-- if you're using windows:
%AppData%\f95checker
just copy paste that into your file explorer directly
-- if you're using linux:
/home/<USER>/.f95checker/
replace <USER> with your username.

3. create a shortcut of f95checker.json to your desktop or wherever so you can easily access it so you don't have to do step 2 again

4. log into f95zone using your preferred browser. then open devtools. (as a side note, Do Not Trust anyone that tells you to type stuff into devtools or share any info from there unless you want to be compromised!)
to open devtools, press F12 or ctrl+shift+i or click the 3 dots/settings icon > More tools > Developer tools

5. Go to the Application tab in devtools, if its not visible, click the >> at the top near Elements and console etc.. to find it.

6. in the side menu under Application, you'll find Storage, under it you'll find Cookies, click the arrow next to it to expand it. you should find f95zone.to under cookies. click that to open f95zone's cookies

7. in f95zone's cookies, you should find xf_csrf and xf_user and some random letters next to them, which is the "value" of those cookies. copy the value of those cookies into notepad or just keep it open and ready for the next steps
-- if you are using 2 factor authentication (2FA) then you will need to copy xf_tfa_trust cookie aswell

8. open the settings file f95checker.json you made a shortcut for earlier in step 3

9. look for "advanced": and under it you should find "cookies": it should look something like this

JSON:

"cookies": { "xf_csrf": "<value>", "xf_user": "<value>" }

10. replace the text after xf_csrf and xf_user with their cookie values you got from step 7. Keep the quotation marks!
-- if you are using 2FA you will need to change the value for xf_tfa_trust cookie aswell
if you dont see these cookie names under "cookies", you will need to add them.
you will need to make sure there are commas after each cookie except for the last one or else it wont work as the formatting is sensitive. if you make a mistake it will say the file is "corrupted" and will restore it so it won't break anything but you might lose your games list so maybe create a copy before you make changes?

11. save the file and you should be ready to go! you can close your browser after you've copied the cookie values

if this didnt work, you may need to clear your browser's cache and cookies and log in again then retry the steps.
And if it stops working just repeat these steps. I believe it should last a while before you need to redo it though.

Just to reiterate, dont share your cookies or anything in devtools and dont type anything anyone tells you to type in devtools unless you know what you are doing!

Can't find the f95checker map

purvysage I get that it seems very hard to get this tool working and that's just a temporary issue.
In fact few days ago, I was having a hard time making it work, but i finally made it work.
So you need to follow these steps word for word

And before doing Step 4, log out of your account and then clear browser cache and cookies, if you don't know how to do that simply google it for your preferred browser, then do these steps

and before Step 9, check the code my previous post

if you have 2 factor, you have to be more careful of what you edit.

And if you still cant seem to figure it out, read all my previous posts in this thread, I also knew nothing what to do but then i figured it out by trail and error

Updated the step to log out and clear the cookies before copying the cookie, i believe i had the same problem when i was first trying it out but forgot about it. Im not sure if just clearing the cookies the way ive mentioned in the steps will do the trick, i cant be bothered getting my browser to a state that i can test it tbh.

Also included opening & closing f95zone to create the settings file incase a new user is trying these steps before using it as they wont have a settings file

I wanted to make the steps short & simple but it seems to cover all bases it needs to be abit longer, but oh well, if people want to use it, its worth the small extra effort.

again thanks for your help!

Thanks you guys for trying to help but it is beyond my abilities. I can patiently wait until the problem is resolved.

The friendly Linux-User found a little things using Devuan Beowulf (same as Debian 10 Buster):
PyQT5 15.5 is missing a little file named "libxcb-util.so.1" (web says 15.4 still had that file)
Solution:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb-util.so.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb-util.so.1
Explanation of that line: a symbolic link with the name "libxcb-util.so.1" and pointing to "libxcb-util.so.0" will be created. sudo is required cause that directory is owned by root and the normal user has no rights to write there.

(and if pip3 install --upgrade -r requirements_linux.txt throws an error about fcntl: just place a "#" at the beginning of the line in the requirements_linux.txt . This is already solved in the sources on github, but the latest release [8.3h3] has this line still inside.)

EDIT: Forgot to mention it's 8.3h3 running with Python 3.7.3 here now. Only a minor error shows up in terminal for the normal window, nothing breaks with that, so i ignore it.

Thank you for the guide, but for some ease of use I suggest using the "EditThisCookie" plugin

Its a good suggestion, personally I don't want to suggest an extension that I don't know much about and could be tracking the user, and I cbf to research whether it is.
The time it would take for someone to find and install the extension would be the same as getting the cookies directly from devtools with just a few clicks if they follow the steps correctly

The extension would take more time. Tried it in Waterfox to see why I should make new cookies. F12, then the Storage-tab and there in the sidebar was Cookies. Took less then 30 seconds (yeah, i was bored and slow AF).
Suggestion: with an extra line in the json for the expire date of the cookie it would be possible to remember us to renew our copied cookies

Fucking amazing tool.

Couple of suggestions for additional features.
-Sort by thread tags (I really want this)
-Auto add threads from watched threads
-Auto add threads from bookmarks
-Allow manual overwrite of game names (some threads have issues like missing names in the application)

Fantastic work, dude.

Is there an alternative to this? I cannot login even doing the temporary cookie option.

there are alternatives, but all bloated or more complex in my opinion... thats what sparked me to create my own tool. however i am going to add a proper temporary fix for the login, you will get a browser window on screen asking to login normally. should be done within today hopefully

I've been wondering if it was a good idea to advertise right now(my sig) since any new user would have to do something much more complicated than the average user would be capable of.
Happy that you got the time to do a temporary fix.

Will it ask to log in every time, or will the login session be stored and only be repeated when the tool is asked to login again?

Hey maybe you can use winautomation to make a automated temp fix
