Anti Prestige Tool v0.7.6

Queue-position reader for Arma Reforger on Linux Wayland.

The tool captures a user-selected Reforger window through xdg-desktop-portal/PipeWire, crops the queue-number region, and reads the orange UI digits with bundled real-game digit templates. Normal use does not require external OCR libraries, desktop-specific screenshot hooks, or a specific installed font.

Install

Install system dependencies:

# Arch example
sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel uv qt6-base gstreamer gst-plugins-base gst-plugin-pipewire imagemagick xdg-desktop-portal

Install the portal backend for your desktop:

KDE:   xdg-desktop-portal-kde
GNOME: xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
wlr:   xdg-desktop-portal-wlr

Set up the Python environment and build the portal helper:

uv sync
make

No sudo install step is required.

Use

Run:

uv run reforger_queue_read.py --portal-window --show-crop --debug

On first run, your desktop should show a window-sharing picker. Select the Arma Reforger window. If the portal grants persistence, the tool stores a restore token here:

~/.local/state/anti-prestige-tool/portal-window-restore-token

Later runs try to reuse that token:

uv run reforger_queue_read.py --portal-window --show-crop --debug

Force a fresh picker if the saved selection is wrong or stale:

uv run reforger_queue_read.py --portal-window --portal-reselect --show-crop --debug

Save the captured input image while debugging:

uv run reforger_queue_read.py --portal-window --save-input /tmp/apt-portal-window.png --show-crop --debug

Watch the selected window and send a desktop notification once for each newly detected queue position under 5:

uv run reforger_queue_read.py --watch --portal-window

Watch mode polls every 15 seconds by default. It prints each poll result with a timestamp, the detected number, and whether an alert fired. Queue position 1 is sent as a critical notification; positions 2, 3, and 4 use normal urgency.

Useful watcher overrides:

uv run reforger_queue_read.py --watch --portal-window --watch-interval 5
uv run reforger_queue_read.py --watch --portal-window --alert-threshold 10
uv run reforger_queue_read.py --watch --image datasets/regression-test-set/3.png --watch-interval 1 --notify-command true

Validation

Run the regression set:

uv run reforger_queue_read.py --dataset datasets/regression-test-set --expect-filenames

Expected result:

summary: 21 passed, 0 failed

Run the smaller smoke dataset:

uv run reforger_queue_read.py --dataset datasets/scootz-dataset --show-crop

Expected output:

datasets/scootz-dataset/1920x1080.png	crop=788,465,75,45
datasets/scootz-dataset/1920x1080.png	22
datasets/scootz-dataset/2160x1440.png	crop=1050,620,100,60
datasets/scootz-dataset/2160x1440.png	24

Debug Options

Read an existing screenshot:

uv run reforger_queue_read.py --image /path/to/screenshot.png --show-crop --debug

The default matcher uses bundled templates from:

templates/reforger_digits.json

Font mode is only for debugging. Known-good overrides:

uv run reforger_queue_read.py --portal-window --font Roboto-Condensed --show-crop --debug
uv run reforger_queue_read.py --portal-window --font Adwaita-Sans --show-crop --debug

Default crop reference:

reference-size: 2560x1440
reference-crop: 1050,620,100,60
scale-mode: width

Portal restore behavior depends on the desktop portal. If the selected window disappears after an Arma restart, the portal may show the picker again.
