Perhaps use Nuitka instead of PyInstaller: https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka

The purpose of which would be fore generating a smaller exe (10 MBs is pretty big for a small box).

Minor issue but I sometimes connect to the São Paulo server and it is displayed like SaAo Paulo with 2 characters for the ã

I guess that the Fall_Guys_IP_Networks.csv file is not being read as UTF8 when loaded.

Probably a quick fix to use UTF8 when opening the file

Manually creating C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Roaming\\fgpe corrected the issue.

UPX Adds some additional compression to the executable build, and can be specified in the pyinstaller command arguments, in my testing it reduced the exe by 8% or 800 kBs, this isn't a lot but maybe it's worth it?

We two have written on reddit, here is my error file.

errors.log

Have a configuration file, all the variables should be configurable:

• Ping Frequency
• Font
• Font Size
• Background Color
• Foreground Color
• ...

Rather than creating a new subprocess each time, only spawn it once, and parse it's output on a separate thread or process and send stats back on a queue?

Would use ping arguments that run infinitely.

Would have to handle killing the process and maybe it also crashing.

Investigate if it's possible to implement a semi-transparent background

Based on IP Address display the Fall Guys server locations.

I tried using a GeoIP library for this but it seems the offline ones are outdated and the online ones all require an account.

Probably just going to have to hard code them.

I noticed sometimes that it it's not always picking up that it has been disconnected from the server after a match but before you rejoin.

There are a number of disconnect messages in the log, perhaps pick a different one to monitor or make the query a little more broad.

I tried using Github Workflows to automatically create an installer, but I couldn't figure out how to:

1. Not have it wrapped up as a zip file
2. Include in the release

This was my yaml so far, clearly needs some fixing:

name: Package exe with PyInstaller - Windows

on:
  push:
    branches: [ main ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ main ]

jobs:
  build:

    runs-on: windows-latest

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - name: Set up Python 3.9
      uses: actions/setup-python@v2
      with:
        python-version: 3.9
    - name: Install dependencies
      run: |
        python -m pip install --upgrade pip
        python -m pip install pyinstaller
        python -m pip .
    - name: build with pyinstaller
      run: |
        pyinstaller --noconsole --onefile run_fgpe.py
    - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
      with:
        name: run_fgpe.exe
        path: dist

I've never written tests before, I should really learn.

Currently on every event loop we check if the Fall Guys process is running.

This is the most lengthy part of the event loop, taking 0.2 to 0.3 seconds, where as getting the mtime of a file takes less than 0,0001 seconds.

Heuristics: If log file has been updated in less than refresh window assume that the Fall Guys game is running, if the log file hasn't been updated in over 1 hour assume that the game is not running, otherwise check if the process is running.

Crashes on startup. Happy to provide logs if necessary.

Actually the ToS look good for ip-api, I will need to test querying a realistic amount of IP addresses and see if it balks in practice (so 20 per hour for a whole day) and also check the accuracy.

If it still looks good I would still want to:

1. Distribute a file of cached IP address results to reduce the amount of times IP API is queried
2. Still display the Fall Guys region. But I could do this with a more coarse mapping such as "New York -> US East".
3. Anything else?

For some reason on the executable version of the program I see occasional flickering.

Need to investigate why it's happening and how to fix it.

I use IPIP.NET to check the CIDR(129.227.0.0/16). I find the geographical location of the IP segment based on the network delay of the ICMP packet.

In 129.227.0.0/16

129.227.0.0/20 KR
129.227.32.0/20 PH
129.227.52.0/22 JP
129.227.64.0/19 SG

Given the limited time, I only checked part of the information for this CIDR to divert traffic for the Fall Guys game. Please consider updating the information in Fall_Guys_IP_Networks.csv.

Investigate if it's possible to make the window dragable. If so, record the last position the user dragged it to so that next time it's opened it will be opened in that position.

unknown_ip_addresses.csv

Playing with LAN without vpn from Germany, do not know what reagion candidates there are.

Check if we can connect to server list on the main branch and download it as the current version to use.

One thing I've noticed is sometimes the overlay can fall behind other windows. I'm not sure why this happens and can't find reproducible steps.

One workaround is if there's a way to bring the window to the front every time we update it. I don't think if this is possible, will need investigating.

Thanks for this tool!

I get lots of unknown server addresses when playing from Sydney, Australia

unknown_ip_addresses.csv

Hello,
I didnt know how to contact you in other way. It only says Looking for FG server and then nothing ever happens.
Is this app still compatible with epic servers?? I'd really like to use your app!!
Can u help me out? Im on W11
Cheers Matt

Based on historical statistics, we can tell how good this ping is compared to normal.

There are a number of ways to approach this, will have to think a bit on it.

Use something like PyInstaller to make an exe that can be executed without needing to install Python / Dependencies

Would be good if it's automatically generated using GitHub workflows.

Hello, the overlays says "Could not reach Fall Guys IP: 193.118.53.6", "Could not reach Fall Guys IP: 172.241.68.180", etc etc

If i open a cmd and ping that IP i can ping it.

Do you know what could be the error, i tried running the program even in admin mode.

Thank you

Unknown server location while playing in Europe servers.
unknown_ip_addresses.csv

When a user has unknown ip addresses, that are actually unknown, and Fall Guys is closed then create a button that opens a GitHub Issue with either the IP addresses or instructions on how to attach the unknown addresses.

Need someway to gracefully shutdown the script/overlay. Some ideas:

• Have an X region of the overlay that can be clicked on to close
• Automatically shutdown when Fall Guys is shutdown
