What it does

Features

  • Hover an item in game and a card appears next to the tooltip. It tells you where the item drops, which monster to kill or which container to open, and about how many tries it takes.
  • Market price from DarkerDB, plus an estimate for the rolls on the item you are looking at, with a 0 to 100 roll score.
  • Stash sort. Open your stash in the lobby and press Ctrl+Shift+S to preview the new layout, then press Enter in game and it moves the items for you. Lobby only, it never runs in a raid.
  • Network HUD. A small readout of your ping to the game server. Ctrl+Shift+N shows or hides it.
  • Auto-update. When a new version is out it asks you first, then downloads only the files that changed. Your key and data are left alone.
  • It only reads the screen. It does not read game memory or inject anything into the game.

How to use

Four steps

  1. Install. Mirror download: run grimroute-setup.exe and pick a folder. GitHub: unzip the zip anywhere. Don't use Program Files, the updater needs to write to that folder.
  2. Paste your DarkerDB API key into data\api_key.txt in that folder. One line, no spaces. Get a key here.
  3. Set the game to borderless windowed, then run grimroute-overlay.exe.
  4. In the console, open the DATA tab and click Sync now. The first sync takes 1 to 3 minutes. Sync again after each game patch.

Ctrl+Shift+H hover lookup on or off

Ctrl+Shift+R routes and market panel, Esc closes it

Ctrl+Shift+S stash sort preview, Enter in game to start, Esc to stop

Neither download comes with the cache database. Your first sync builds it with your own API key. If you are on 0.6 or older, download the new version by hand once. From 0.7 on it updates itself.
