Here's something I've been working on for a while. The Whereisdi addon is a Windower addon that crowdsources the Domain Invasion location from other users.

Usage: //di


This should work on any server, but is dependent on receiving data from other users. If not data is available it will let you know. I'm currently seeding data on Asura, Bahamut and Odin.

Let me know if you have any questions regarding this or run into any issues running the addon.

Thanks!

Edit 3/28/24: I just wanted to let that I found a bug in 1.1 that that prevented new users from uploading DI location data. I've fixed this in 1.2: https://github.com/aphung/whereisdi/releases/latest/

Thanks!

Not sure if it’s possible/feasible but can the last Mireu death/despawn be tracked alongside the current DI location?

I can't help but notice that the addon is sending the charater's name and server back to the API. Do you really need to know that in a non hashed format?

Thanks for running this service!

The server is necessary to scrape the data needed to actually update the information. I can think of a couple of reasons to send the character name.

There's an option to be a jerk and opt out of transferring data yourself, but if everyone on your server does that then the service is essentially worthless.

You continue to be the hero that Asura needs but doesn't deserve.

Because it is a public api I needed a way to protect against bad data. And while tracking player names helped me during development, I no longer need it. I have updated the addon to hash player names on the client side to anonymize player data.

I have also added the ability to get the Mireu death times (if available)

//di mireu

I see you are now using a hash for the player's name, thank you :)

Are you going to ask the windower team to add it to the launcher?

I'm not against having it added to the launcher. However, I want to see if people actually use this first and if there's a demand for an addon like this.

If an addon creator quits and no longer maintains an addon, the Windower community usually takes responsibility for it going forward.

The risk with this type of addon is, if it was to fall into that state, there is also the need for the server side to be paid for and maintained.

Yet provides none?

I see no reasons for a service like this needs the name of character in a non-hashed form as there is no need to identify the character externally. only internal identification (like bad/malicious data) which hashed works fine for.

Thanks for the addon, it's glorious.

I have a feature request: give it an option to block Unity messages. You can filter these out with the ingame function, but that breaks the addon. You should be able to prevent the messages from reaching the chatlog after reading them trough the addon. This would encourage people* to stay in Unity and seed info even if it's annoying to do so.

* people = me

whereisdi.com appears to be down :( hope it's not gone forever.

The addon still works well enough to track current domain invasions, but Mireu tracking doesn't appear to work unless the website is functional.

Service is still working. However, I don't see any logs of recent Mireus for most servers. I'll investigate.

I found a pretty big bug in version 1.1 that prevented new users from sending DI location data. That has been fixed in 1.2.
