AC Companion Instructions

AC Companion will detect the loction of Decal and Asheron's Call when starting for the first time.  These locations will then be stored in the system.

After locating the above you are presented with this screen.

The Launch Tab is used to

• To launch the program aclauncher.exe with your account username and password filled in, click one of the accounts listed in the box on the left of the screen.  Then click the desired world and aclauncher.exe will run with your log in data filled in.  Optionally, you may just click on a world to run aclauncher.exe without you account name and password entered in the system.
• Search for and detect plugin data locations for use on the Data Copy tab.  More can be added manually on the Data Copy tab.

The Accounts tab is where you add account information for launching Asheron's Call

• Add a new account by completing the informtion and clicking Add.
• To edit an existing account click on the desired account on the left, make changes and click the Update button (Add will change to Update)
• To delete an existing account click on the desired account on the left and click the Dpdate button

The next screen is the very reason I wrote this program.  I wanted an easy way to copy configuration files around in different plug-ins

Clicking once on an item in the Data Locations box sents the Source Location.
A Second Click sets the Destination Location.
First Click on an item in the File Names Box sets the Source File Name.
A Second Click Sets the Destination.  You can also type in your destination, if it is a new character.

To edit a location: click on the data location to highlight the location, then right-click that same location to get a contect menu and click edit.  The fields at the bottom of the screen will fill in.

This tab will copy any file that is not in use.  It can even be used to copy files from one computer to another, i.e. client_portal.dat and client_cell_1.dat from the AC directory to a new computer, thereby copying all patches and locations to the other computer.  This means you will not have to down load all the patches or download information about a dungeon when you enter it.

Since you can enter in any location as a new entry, you can even use it as a backup tool for your data files using the data entry fields at the bottom of the screen.

The last tab is the Web Site tab

With Launch Mode Enabled, clicking on a web site in the list simply launches the web site and logs you in, if your information is provided.

In Edit mode you are to add or edit web sites.  Web Site Name, Web Site URL, User ID and Password should be self explanatory.

The 3 entries with the word field is the name of the input field.  The system needs to know these so it place the proper data when logging in.

The Logged In Text is used to determine if you are already logged in to that site.  No need to re-log if you are.

And the last one, Submit Input, is used when the site does not have a name for the submit button.  Setting this to a number tells the system which input statment to click.
