"If I open source it, I feel I lose some of that free-ness I get from my personal projects. "

Did you not get the part where the entire open source software movement was about freedom? Just because you GPL (or whatever license) your code doesn't mean you can't take the project in whatever direction you want, it just means others can also take their own forks or whatever derivative different directions if they want also.

Either way, your project not mine, so who am I to say what to do with it. Good luck with whatever you decide to do with it ultimately.

Can we get a mod response if this is ok to use? I want to use it, but want to see the official policy first.

This is completely legit. It just reads your log file and puts your /loc on a map. No different then using a log parser to figure out your DPS. p1999 staff has stated in the past that as long as the program doesn't inject anything into the EQ client then it is legal.

Does this app support symbolic link under w7-64u ? Because SSD users avoid logs feature is most of case.

awesome. Makes me wonder what other little things like this I don't know about.

Went ahead and checked this out, so far it seems legit. Really cool, just have to figure out what hotkey i want /loc on. Would do movement, but I don't want the spam. Nice job man.

I think people would prefer it if the OP used his original P99 forum name rather than registering a new one. That's where some of the doubt, suspicion and paranoia comes from.

I like the app and it works ok, but having to login EVERY TIME YOU USE IT (with no facility to "remember me" or anything) is a bit of a pain.

[Vyal]

Why do you need to login to use it?
I could see maybe if it were being used as a program that ran a server and your guild and friends could connect then you could see them in the map program but something like this would take a hour or so to make and login doesn't make sense...
Really seems NOT legit tbh.

Neat utility so far, thanks for sharing.

Just a few points. I don't see any licensing information being distributed with the app.

• You need to include the MIT License for using Newtonsoft.Json.
• Require end users to agree to terms that protect them at least as much as the standard Microsoft Software License Terms. There are myriad boilerplate EULAs and such out there, Google will lead you to them.
• Display your valid copyright notice on your programs.
