AIMSTATION 3.7.0
================
by Ergo Engineering

Does your aim feel off? Like you can never get consistent aim, especially when you switch from game to
game? AimStation turns your own mouse movements into a curve that standardizes and customizes your
aiming and pointing in every game. Think of it as custom mouse acceleration, built from the way you move.

INSTALL
  Run "AimStation 3.7.0 Setup.exe". On a first install you can choose the folder (default: Program Files\AimStation).
  A folder outside Program Files is protected the same way (only administrators can change its files).
  Windows SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC" because Setup isn't code-signed yet.
  Click "More info" -> "Run anyway". Windows then asks for permission (the mouse driver needs it).
  Setup installs AimStation and its Microsoft-signed mouse driver, then asks whether to restart Windows now.
  (Windows itself shows no "driver installed" window for this kind of driver - Setup tells you instead.)
  AimStation needs the driver loaded to run: until Windows restarts, it offers to restart or closes.
  Nothing else needs to be installed: AimStation includes everything it uses.

  Needs 64-bit Windows 10 or 11.
  Updating: run the new Setup. Curves, recordings, My curves and settings are kept.
  Uninstalling: Windows Settings > Apps > AimStation. This always removes the mouse driver completely
  (filter entry, service and file) and asks whether to restart. If removing it fails, everything is kept
  so your mouse keeps working - restart Windows and uninstall again. Your curves are kept unless you
  choose to delete them. Uninstalling sets your mouse back to 1:1 right away.
  Installing again after an uninstall: restart Windows first (Setup tells you if you haven't).

THE WINDOW
  Four tabs: Record, Tune, Library, Options. Top right: About (version, licenses) and FAQ.
  Pressing X keeps AimStation running in the tray (bottom right of the taskbar) so your curve and the
  kill switch keep working. Double-click the tray icon to open it; right-click -> Exit to close it.

RECORD TAB
  1. Mouse card: check the DPI (set it to what your mouse software says). The card shows a game only while
     that game is the window in front.
  2. Press Record. It says Preparing for about a second while your mouse is switched to 1:1 and the
     driver confirms it. Then switch to your game and play normally. One game per recording.
     It only records while you're in game (cursor hidden). Your curve is off (1:1) while recording.
     A game that never hides its cursor: Options > Record games with a visible cursor.
     Game: auto-detect finds games by itself: everything installed through Steam, Epic or GOG (from the
     launchers' own lists), ~11,000 known game programs and common game folders. For anything else, start
     it, click Game and pick its window - AimStation remembers it for next time. A recording sticks to its game and the first mouse you move in it.
     Flicks in every direction count (Options > Horizontal flicks only = left/right only).
  3. At 500 flicks the ring turns green and the curve is saved automatically; keep playing as long as you like.
  4. Press Stop: the same curve file is updated and it's at the top of My curves. Apply puts it on your mouse.
     The session card shows a short report: overshoot / short / second swipe %, directions, speed range.
     Overshooting more than falling short lowers the curve's boost (new in 3.7.0, new recordings only).
     Apply on a curve made at another DPI than the mouse card's asks first and can convert a copy.
     Under the chart, "Loaded curve" always shows what's on your mouse: its name + "Curve loaded"
     (with slow aim / flick speed, DPI and game), or "No curve loaded".
     One curve file per recording. Discard (with a confirmation) sends a session's curve and recording to
     the Recycle Bin. If a recording was limited to ~125 Hz, Stop offers to turn on the 125 Hz fix.

  MY CURVES (right side of the Record tab)
    New recordings appear at the top automatically. Load curves... opens your curves folder to add more.
    Up to 100 curves, scroll with the mouse wheel, kept after a restart. Search box filters the list.
    Star (right of a name) = favorite, pinned at the very top. Click a curve to see it in the chart, then:
      Apply    puts it on your mouse (green dot + "Curve loaded" marks the active one)
      Modify   opens it in the Tune tab
      Rename   changes the name shown in AimStation only - the file keeps its name
      Delete   asks whether to delete it from your computer too (Recycle Bin) or only from the list
    Keys: Delete = off the list only, no question (Undo for 10 s), Enter = Apply, F2 = Rename.
    Turn off / Turn on (next to the search box) switches your curve off (1:1) and back on.
    Right-click a curve: Set as default for a game (the game it was recorded in, a running game, or
    Browse for .exe... e.g. cs2.exe, maniaplanet.exe) / Remove as default. While that game is in front,
    its default curve is on your mouse; everywhere else your applied curve is. "Default for cs2.exe"
    shows under the curve's name. Switching starts the moment the game comes to the front and takes about
    a second. Games that share a program name (hl2.exe) each keep their own default.
    Right-click also has: Compare on the chart (dashed line), Quick-switch curve (Ctrl + Alt + F9 flips
    between it and your current curve, in game too) and Convert to another DPI.

TUNE TAB
  Sliders with a live preview: Keep my overall speed, Slow aim speed, Tiny adjustments, Speed-up starts
  at, Speed-up curve, Flick speed, Full flick speed at, Overall sensitivity. Changes save automatically;
  press Apply to put them on your mouse. Load curve... and Import... are at the top.
  Chart: drag the curve itself and the matching slider follows (the tip shows which one). The two round
  handles are where the speed-up starts and ends. Mouse wheel zooms on the speed axis around the cursor
  (height fits automatically), right-drag pans, double-click resets the zoom.
  Right-click > Add point here: a diamond you can drag to bend just that part of the curve (up to 10;
  right-click a point to remove it). Points move with the sliders; Reset removes them.
  Ctrl + Z / Ctrl + Y undo and redo (also in the chart's right-click menu).

LIBRARY TAB
  The file manager: every curve file and recording. Rename and Delete here change the real files
  (deleted files go to the Recycle Bin). Apply curve puts the selected curve on your mouse.
  Import... brings in curves from other acceleration programs.
  A curve: Convert to another DPI. A recording: Merge with other recordings (same game and DPI) into one curve.

OPTIONS TAB
  Load with Windows      starts AimStation in the tray and puts your curve back after a restart (on by default)
  Theme                  Dark / Light
  Kill switch hotkey     Ctrl + Alt + F10 switches the curve off (1:1) and on again, also in game
                         (game defaults included)
  Switch curves per game on by default; uses the defaults set with right-click in My curves
  Horizontal flicks only off by default (all directions count); on = the older left/right-only rule
  Record games with a visible cursor   off by default; for games that never hide the mouse cursor
  Suggest a feature / report a bug     opens a new email to yergo88@gmail.com in your mail program with
                         your AimStation details filled in - write your message and press Send
  Copy support info      copies the same details plus the end of the log, to paste anywhere
  Quit AimStation
  Mouse driver           curve on/off, driver status, Install / Reinstall / Uninstall driver (asks to restart)
  125 Hz fix + test      Windows 11 limits background apps to ~125 mouse updates per second; the fix lifts
                         that (restart needed), the test checks it
  Enhance pointer precision  Windows' own desktop acceleration. Recommended off.
  Windows pointer speed  desktop cursor speed (10 = 1:1, recommended). Games with raw input ignore it.
