ClickSaver and a few more essential Anarchy Online tools

These are the Anarchy Online tools I use and recommend to all Rubikan citizens:

ClickSaver

1. ClickSaver is a tool for rolling missions automatically, according to search criteria specified by the user. You can automatically look for missions that reward with a specific item or one of a list of items you're looking for. You can look for missions whose building is at a specified location, or use it for browsing an overview of the five missions you get each time you request a mission generation without actually having to peek inside each mission description. You should be using ClickSaver from level 5. Once you've mastered it, nobody can say you're a newbie anymore. :)

You should find the last official version here. I'm also maintaining a feature rich unofficial ClickSaver version (v2.4.4 beta1 5-Jul-2009). I try to update it at least once a month, so you may want to check this page for upcoming features.

Also, you may want to check these links after downloading:

The Rollability Facts Database to make sure you're rolling for rollable items.
Agaille's Guide to ClickSaver, an indispensable reading for ClickSaver newbies.

Nano Nanny

2. Nano Nanny is THE tool for designing implants. If the main page is down try getting it here.

Oh, and if you're as lazy as me about implant crafting, here's a catalog of premade implants available in basic shops.

Anarchy Online Relay Chat (AORC)

3. Anarchy Online Relay Chat (AORC) is a Windows application that allows you to chat with your AO pals, monitor the public channels and participate in them without actually being ingame, even from a PC that hasn't the game installed. AORC works fine for me with Windows 98 SE and XP. The official site was down last time I checked it, so here's an alternate link. I've patched and tested this one so that it works with the new (26-May-2009) Funcom chat servers.

Please note that the link above is for the last official version, which is quite old. This version, Classic if you want, still works with the AO chat servers, but it doesn't parse the xml code that populates the chat channels, so it would be useful only to techies interested in seeing what that code looks like or to anyone who's willing to make some kind of bot to monitor certain chat channels.

If you're looking for a more "human-friendly" version, you may find an unofficial download link to Aorc+ here, Delphi sources included.

I don't know if that version is updated, but since I'm using Aorc+ often, I've just patched and tested the aorc+.exe (download here) so that it works with the new (26-May-2009) Funcom chat servers.

For instance, here's what you would see with AORC and AORC+ if someone posted a Basalis ring to some trade channel:

With AORC (xml code, unclickable item): WTS <a href="itemref://202717/202718/80">Ring of the Nucleus Basalis</a>
With AORC+ (clickable item): WTS Ring of the Nucleus Basalis

Use caution though: Keep in mind that both AORC and AORC+ are third-party applications with internet access which ask for your AO account login and password. Although I can say I've used Aorc and Aorc+ for years with my paid and froob accounts, and haven't had any problem whatsoever.

Anarchy Online Inventory System (AOIS)

4. The Anarchy Online Inventory System (AOIS) is a package of programs to help the player create lists of their backpack contents. Simply open a backpack, and the contents will be read in. Once you've opened all the packs you'd like, they can be parsed into files sorted by quality level, alphabetically, or per backpack. I recommend this for organizing large quantities of packs, especially useful if you're back in the game after a long time without playing it, and you're not familiar with your packs' contents anymore.

Helpbot Items

5. The Helpbot Items service can help you when you've got a moderate volume of stuff in your inventory and/or bank and you're wanting to sell it via forum post or HTML post, or wanting to organize it for your internal use. No need to download or install anything. Essentially you use it like this:
* Add Helpbot to your buddylist with /cc addbuddy helpbot
* Select helpbot in your buddylist as your actual chatting partner.
* /tell helpbot delete
* Drag and drop one item to the chat window and press enter. Helpbot won't reply but is listening.
* Repeat the previous step for as many items you want listed.
* Go to Helpbot Items, fill the form with your player name and any options you want, and you'll get a list of the items you posted. You can cut&paste this list anywhere you want.

A classic site, somewhat unupdated but still useful.

is *the* item database site. Includes many item related tools also.

Here's my list of selected guilds.
