You may download the version 0.4.0.1 here (http://www.consoleheroes.com/forums/../oa/offlineachievements.zip).

Change Log:

The ability to create OA files in a matter of seconds by parsing the XboxLive.com page.
Automatically generates game name, max points, and each individual ach name, description, point value, and image.
Ability to rip image down from XboxLive.com instead of saving and browsing so that if you need to edit an individual achievement you can do so by clicking "Img URL" in the add achievement box.
Bigger text area for achievement description when editing an OA file.

EDIT
0.4.0.1 Small Updates:


Fixed small issue where if on XboxLive.com the ach description had a carriage return or space after it, it wouldn't read that achievement in.
Added Img URL ability to Edit Achievement window that popped up when editing an already added achievement(forgot about that spot).
Added the ability to resize(maximize) the Create OA File window as it used to be fixed sized. Now you can see more achievements.


If you start the program right now, it will see the update and mark itself to update the next time you run it. So you'll need to close it again...and re-open to get it to ask you to update. Just load it up once and give it a minute or two to realize that there's an update out there before you close it.

In screenshot A you'll notice the addition of a Img URL button under Add Achievement. You can use this button to load an image from the web into the achievement picture box.

In screenshot B you'll see the box to "dump" the source from XboxLive.com. Basically what you do is find someone that has a full 1,000 in the game. Compare your achievements to them like this page:
http://live.xbox.com/en-US/profile/Achievements/ViewAchievementDetails.aspx?tid=%09];dh-o0%02%03&compareTo=TenaciousDave83 (http://live.xbox.com/en-US/profile/Achievements/ViewAchievementDetails.aspx?tid=%09%5D;dh-o0%02%03&compareTo=TenaciousDave83)

Once you've compared, just view the source of the page and copy all of it. Paste it into the OA window and hit "Parse". That's all there is to it.

If you compare your achs to someone that doesn't have all of them, it'll bring the black and white images in and set the score to 0 as the score shows up as -- on xboxlive.com. In this case, you'll need to specify the correct point values by editing the achievements on teh Create OA File screen.


Let me know if you have any questions.

I was wondering why you were making OAs. Testing this out I presume. :)

We use the OA's as an easy method to import achievement lists into the main site.

When I did some the other day I did it the hard way.

When I called Beijing I went to start it and decided.....fuck that....I'm going to come up with an easier way.

And the rest is history.


Sorry to everyone that I didn't think about this before.

parse
/pɑrs, pɑrz/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[pahrs, pahrz] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation verb, parsed, pars·ing. –verb (used with object)

3.Computers. to analyze (a string of characters) in order to associate groups of characters with the syntactic units of the underlying grammar.


Basically it's used as a term in programming to manipulate strings (strings are basically a length of characters). I take the string (the source html of the page) and look for certain things in it and strip it out.
