The FastTrek UI
Daily Events Overview - FastTrek Docs
Get a convenient one-page overview of your events every day.
Why you need an events overview
- Scopely’s way of displaying events is horribly inefficient.
- Loading the screens takes too long.
- Event screens jump around, it’s a frustrating experience.
- Overlapping events are difficult to identify.
- We spend more time loading screens than actually doing events.
- We forget to join an event that needs to be joined before it starts.
- When the game has too many events for one night, we lose track and don’t know where to start.
How does FastTrek solve this?
FastTrek can produce a daily events overview.
It automatically runs once a day, shortly after events reset in your region.
During the run, FastTrek opens the in-game Events list, opens each bucket, and takes screenshots of all the tasks, the scoring requirements, and milestones.
A notification within FastTrek will show you that it’s ready and give you a link to open it.
The overview is a single, plain HTML page that you can open and view in your browser. Once created, it is independent of the game and can be reviewed at any time.
With Direct Control you can use it while FastTrek continues to work, to plan your next move.
HTML Events Overview Functionality and usage:
- Single Page for a one-shot view of everything.
- Clear segregation by buckets/event groups, such as by arc or ticketed events.
- See remaining runtime at a glance.
- Click into an event ‘poster’ for scoring and milestone details (dismiss the lightbox with Esc, ‘x’ in the corner, or clicking outside it).
- Use left/right arrow keys on the keyboard or on-screen controls to move to the previous/next event.
- Press ‘A’ on the keyboard or use the on-screen Archive button to grey out an event you have finished or won’t do.
- Use the on-screen up/down controls to reorder events into your own priority list.
- Your custom ordering is remembered even if you close the page and reopen it later.
