.html - AC Tool FAQ ============================================================================= Thanks everyone for helping me get this out the door. So many people contributed the ideas and all I did was wrap them up inside an EXE. My thanks and I hope you enjoy our efforts. CONTENTS * Release Notes * Contributions * History * Liability * Development Stuff * Bug/Enhancement Submission ============================================================================= RELEASE NOTES Well here is a couple of passes at this utility since the betas. Just read over this document before before installing and running this utility. That's it... Enjoy! - When reporting bugs and enhancements please include the completed report sheet at the bottom of this doc. - The source code to this program is available on my webpage. - If you have any problems with AC Tool, do the following: 1. Read the Help! 2. Read the FAQ! 3. Go to the AC Tool message board at http://wwww.cameroncole.net/actool.html and post your question on the board ----------------------------------------------------------------------------CONTRBUTIONS I have resisted asking for contributions since I wanted the ability to drop AC Tool whenever it became inconvinient. Well that just isn't going to happen. I will be keeping this website and forums indefinately. With that in mind, I have decided to ask for PayPal donations. Many of you have already been kind enough to place money in my PayPal account without being prompted and it has been much appreciated. You DO NOT have to contribute anything in order to use AC Tool. This isn't a requirement and I will NEVER charge for the product so don't feel obligated. If however you want to support AC Tool, you can send me whatever amount you feel is fair. My paypal account is [email protected] and that is where contributions should be sent. Thanks, Cameron. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------HISTORY 5.4.0 - 07/12/2006

- This is the IPA Alpha 8 release recompiled which is an update to get Decal working with AC Tool - Two new variables created {MMFName} and {MMFSize} which contains the name and size of the AC Tool Memory Mapped File - New Asheron's Call command called UstSalvage which salvages the UST 5.3.0 - 03/29/2005 - Removed _killmsg decal variable because it did nothing - wObject X, Y reversed - Attempted to fix the blank internal bitmap from OBJLOADWINDOW 5.2.2 - 02/13/2005 - Fixed an access violation when compiling a CASE statement in a complex macro 5.2.1 - 02/13/2005 - Fixed a bug with Decal Datasets not working - Fixed a bug with the OBJLoadWindow. Problem is I slowed it down so only use it if you are performing a lot of scans or need a static canvas to do color testing - AC Tool now accepts a /TITLE:XXX parameter which allows you to change the name of the AC Tool task. By using this, renaming the EXE and using an EXE compression program like UPX it may be possible to defeat certain game protections 5.2.0 - 02/12/2005 - MoveFile, CopyFile and DeleteFile now accept wildcards - CopyFile now accepts an optional third param (TRUE or FALSE) for overwriting - Fixed a bug with CopyFile where it would not accept a directory as the Copy To parameter - New command for faster OBJECT processing. Calling OBJLOADWINDOW takes a snapshot of the desktop or active window. All OBJECT processing is then done against that object until OBJRELEASE is called. OBJLOADWINDOW // Stores the desktop for processing OBJLOADWINDOW TRUE // Stores the active window for processing OBJRELEASE // reverts back to the old object processing logic NOTE: This command also affect LoadRGB - Calling OBJLOADFILE loads a bitmap from a file for all OBJECT processing. This is done against that bitmap until OBJRELEASE is called. OBJLOADFILE c:\your.bmp // Loads a bitmap for processing OBJRELEASE // reverts back to the old object processing logic NOTE: This command also affect LoadRGB - Calling OBJRELEASE returns processing from an OBJLOADFILE or an OBJLOADWINDOW to normal. OBJLOADFILE c:\your.bmp // Loads a bitmap for processing OBJRELEASE // reverts back to the old object processing logic

NOTE: This command also affect LoadRGB - Horizontal scroll bar on the editor now shows up whenver needed - Added the following lists which contains the names of datasets, constructs, lists, etc. RuntimeTypeList RuntimeTypeDataset RuntimeTypeForm RuntimeTypeFile RuntimeTypeProcedure RuntimeTypeEvent RuntimeTypeFunction RuntimeTypeObject RuntimeTypewObject - Added RuntimeTypeConst internal dataset which contains constants and their value - Fixed an access violation that occured on some machines - Updated the help file with all the new commands - New AC Tool versioning structure. 5.2.0 and future versions translates into Year.Month.Release count that month. 5.1.0 - 02/11/2005 - MoveFile command added that moves a file from one location to another. This command can also be used to rename files. MoveFile c:\1.txt, c:\2.txt, FALSE // will not replace 2.txt MoveFile c:\1.txt, c:\2.txt, TRUE // will replace 2.txt MoveFile c:\1.txt, c:\test, TRUE // will move to another directory - DirCreate creates a new directory DirCreate C:\ACToolTest - DirList lists the contents of a directory into a list DirList ListName, C:\*.* // adds all files DirList ListName, C:\*. // adds only files without an extension - DirDelete deletes a directory and all its contents DirDelete C:\ACToolTest - DirSize returns the size in bytes of a directory and all its contents DirSize constant = C:\ACToolTest - New DISKINDRIVE keyword added to the IF statement if DISKINDRIVE A SayPaste We have a Disk! end - FileSize returns the size in bytes of a file FileSize constant = C:\test.txt

- FileAttrList returns a list of file attributes in a list. Attributes are : Directory,ReadOnly,SystemFile,Volume ID,Archive,AnyFile,Hidden FileAttrList YourList, c:\test.txt - FileAttrSet sets the attributes for a file. Send an integer into the command to set the Attribute. Here is the attribute matrix: 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 71 Read-only files Hidden files System files Volume ID Directory files Archive files Symbolic link Any file

FileAttrList c:\test.txt, 3 //makes the file readonly and hidden - Fixed the AC Tool Beautify function to work with the CASE statement - Fixed the inserting of a CASE statement from the Commands and Macros list - CASE $I WHEN 0 DOSOMETHING END did not work. - Updated the help file with all the new commands 5.0.0 - 02/10/2005: - RegExMatch keyword added to IF statement. Uses the new regular expression parser to match a regular expression against a constant if <<\d{3}-\d{4}>> regexmatch 123-4561 SendText 13, yes else SendText 13, no end NOTE: Expressions must be encapsulated in compound brackets <<Your Expression>>. See Regular Expressions under help for more information - RegExSplit command added. Uses the new regular expression parser to split a constant into a list constructs lst=List end constants i=0 end RegExSplit lst, <<a>>, that is a great feature ListCount lst, i loop $i SendText 13, lst[{loopno}] end NOTE: Expressions must be encapsulated in compound brackets <<Your Expression>>. See Regular Expressions under help for

more information - RegExReplace command added. Uses the new regular expression parser to search and replace items in a constant constants i= end RegExReplace i = <<(.*) \+ (.*) \->>, did + not - work, $$1 SendText 13, $i NOTE: Expressions must be encapsulated in compound brackets <<Your Expression>>. See Regular Expressions under help for more information - New CASE conditional structure added. The case statement may provide a readable alternative to deeply nested if conditionals constants i=1 y=1 end CASE WHEN $i = 0 SendText 13, i is 0 WHEN $y = 0 SendText 13, y is 0 and i is not 0 ELSE SendText 13, I don't know what y or i is END // alternate usage CASE $i WHEN 0 SendText 13, i is 0 WHEN 1 SendText 13, i is 1 ELSE SendText 13, I don't know what i is END - Updated the help file to be current with all commands.

RebootSystem SHUTDOWN // Exit windows and powers down RebootSystem LOGOFF // Logs user off, but leaves windows running RebootSystem // Exit windows and restarts - {MouseX} and {MouseY} return the current position of the mouse on the screen - New spell casting command called CastSpellRoot which uses Triane's SPELLX.CDS to cast spells. CastSpellRoot SpellRoot, SpellLevel(1-7) CastSpellRoot Strength Self, 4 - New command WriteRegistryEx works just like WriteRegistry except takes one additional type parameter at the beginning. This type allows users to write into the registry as INTEGER, FLOAT, STRING, or BOOLEAN WriteRegistryEx WriteRegistryEx WriteRegistryEx WriteRegistryEx STRING,CURRENT_USER,ACTool\Test,String,Cam BOOLEAN,CURRENT_USER,ACTool\Test,Bool,True FLOAT,CURRENT_USER,ACTool\Test,Float,12.5 INTEGER,CURRENT_USER,ACTool\Test,Int,5

- New command called FindModuleBaseAddr used to find the base address of a DLL. Very untested! Built for FFXiMain.dll FindModuleBaseAddr Const = ModuleName - ExecProgram now accepts a third parameter for storing standard out. ExecProgram EXEName, Params, StdOutFile ExecProgram cmd.exe, vol c:, c:\test.txt By using the additional StdOutFile param the application will run

the EXE in console mode. - Thanks to the Wabbit, huge upgrades in the wObject system and some new features in the forms system. These include: - Labels can now have varying sizes (es=Extra Short, s=Short, m=Medium, l=Long, el=Extra Long) Form LabelName=Label:size:Label Text End - BLACK added as a wObject parameter. Without it black pixels will not be included in the wObject - SAVEBMP parameter added which will save the object area as a bitmap - USEOBJECT allows the user to immediately include the wObject in the usable objects list for reference wObject TestObject // Adjust the below settings. XCoord = // Coord for X axis. YCoord = // Coord for Y axis. XSize = // Size of the object, along the X axis. YSize = // Size of the object, along the Y axis. MinRed = 0 // Minimum value for Red. MaxRed = 255 // Maximum value for Red. MinGreen = 0 // Minimum value for Green. MaxGreen = 255 // Maximum value for Green. MinBlue = 0 // Minimum value for Blue. MaxBlue = 255 // Maximum value for Blue. Sample = // All = Every Pixel, Half = Every Other Pixel . FileName = . // The following are not required settings. // So they do not need to be included in the list // In other words, if you do not wish to use them. // You can completely delete the following options. Black = // Include true black pixels? Yes, No SaveBMP = // Save a BMP of the object? Yes, No UseObject = // After getting the object, do you want to u se it? Yes, No // // // // End NOTE: if you use the UseObject option. The new object will not be saved to file. But, it is immediately available for use, from with in this same script/macro file. // Name of file to place the object definition

- The keyword BOF now highlights properly in the editor - Two new setting in AC Tool Preferences on the Global HotKeys tab allows users to turn off F2 in AC and Global Keys - Fixed a bug when parsing list names with underscores - Ipa fixed Type and Workmanship in the Vendor list and dataset 4.5.11 - 06/23/2004: - Fixed a bug when executing a MousePos against non-Asheron's Call windows that could generate a memlocs.xml not found error - Fixed a problem with the BELL command and .WAV files playing twice

- Corrected the SPELLS.CDS so that casting Summon Primary Portal I would reference the correct ID 4.5.10 - 06/10/2004: - You can find a new Dataset Primer under the help menu. Thanks to Triane - Fixed StrTrim. No longer returns empty strings when it shouldn't - Several commands were using an incorrectly set internal variable and could produce strange results. These commands include: BELL, all mouse click commands, FTPDIRTYPE, RESETEVERYPROC, and CHECKCOMPS - IRCStart will now restart a closed IRC Connection - Prebuilt AC Tool Macros can now be optionally installed 4.5.9 - 05/22/2004: - Updated the SPELL.CDS which includes all spells in Asheron's Call as of the May 2004 release - Removed some unnecessary debug information from the companion 4.5.8 - 05/22/2004: - Fixed a stack overflow when recieving errors and Decal not loaded. This sometimes caused AC Tool to just drop out of memory. - StrTrim was including command data in the trim rather than trimming what was asked of it. - New command called KeyASCII that will send keystrokes to the active window based on the numerical ASCII character equivilant. KeyASCII 64 //Sends an @ sign - Fixed a bug when trying to send @, ^, and ~ as keystrokes. The system would treat a @@ as an @ sign followed by an alt key rather than a single @. - New {IRCState} and {IRCConnect} variables have been added added. {IRCState} contains the last state of the AC Tool IRC Client. Valid states are: Notconnected, Resolving, Connecting, Connected, Registering, Ready, Aborting, Disconnecting {IRCConnect} contains either TRUE/FALSE depending on the state of the AC Tool IRC Client. - Added a new event called IRCState. This new event is flagged to run whenever the state of the AC Tool IRC Client changes. procedure IRC on IRCState saypaste IRC State Change: {IRCSTATE} end while 1 = 1 saypaste IRC State: {IRCSTATE} Delay 5000 Processmessages end - lstIRC is an internal list that can be accessed for loading and saving the AC Tool IRC Client Log SayPaste lstIRC[1] // Will paste the first line from the log

- IRCFind allows the user to search the AC Tool IRC Client log for a specific value. The first parameter is the constant that will contain the line the value was found. The second parameter is the position you wish to start the search in the log and the last paramter is what you are searching for. IRCFind myconst, 1, join SayPaste lstIRC[$myconst] - Several corrections made to the wObject command 4.5.7 - 04/26/2004: - Fixed _idDefenseBonus variable - Added new ID variables, _idMissileDefBonus and _idMagicDefBonus - Added new command DropItem, to drop an item from inventory without requiring keystrokes - Added new command LoadDecalCharStats. This loads 2 new built-in datasets based on the Decal character stats filter: Dataset DSCharAttrib ATTRIBID Attribute ID NAME Attribute Name (i.e. Strength, Endurance etc) CURRENT Current BASE attribute value EXPSPENT Amount of experience spent in attribute CREATION Value at character creation EFFECTIVE Current effective attribute value (taking into account buffs/debuffs) Dataset DSCharSkill SKILLID Skill ID NAME Sword) BONUS EXPSPENT INCREMENT SHORTNAME BASE s and increment Current = Base + Bonus + Increment (Redundant field, can be derived) EFFECTIVE Current effective skill value (taking into account buffs/debuffs) TRAININGTYPE 3 = Specialized, 2 = Trained, 1 = Untrained, 0 = Unusable CURRENT - Cleanup of various Companion internals, to use Decal Character Stats Filter functionality Companion no longer replicates the work of CharStats to maintain the SpellBook and the current Enchantments affecting base attributes. 4.5.6 - 04/16/2004: - Updated the companion to work with the April Decal patches - Added some logic to force disconnects when using HTTPGet - Added some additional debug logic to track down color object Bonus points from character creation (5 for trained, 10 for spec'ed) Amount of experience spent in skill Number of times skill has been incremented Shortened version of skill name (comes from Decal, just passing it along) Base value of skill before addition of bonu

Skill Name (i.e. War Magic, Alchemy,

failures - Fixed a problem with KeyDown and {XXX} keystrokes - Put a lot of error checking around the DSDelete command to identify and/or hopefully correct the "Operation not applicable" error - Upgraded to the latest PlusMemo so hopefully the strange beautify problems that have been reported will now be fixed 4.5.5 - 02/27/2004: - Decal World Filter (and ImpFilter) are still not functioning correctly for tinkered items. This issue was caused by the January Asheron's Call patch. When an item is tinkered successfully, the post-tinker item can not be located in inventory by ACTool Select commands or LoadDecalInventory - Expanded the width of the built in FORMs - Thanks to The Wabbit for this contribution: A new type of Object called the wObject (Wabbit Object) allows a user to define an object parameters. Then use CreateObject to save the wObject output which is an object definition to a file. This will allow macro authors to build self calibrating macros. Usage: wObject Test // Adjust the below settings. XCoord = 5 // Coord for X axis. YCoord = 25 // Coord for Y axis. XSize = 20 // Size of the object, along the X axis. YSize = 20 // Size of the object, along the Y axis. MinRed = 0 // Minimum value for Red. MaxRed = 255 // Maximum value for Red. MinGrean = 0 // Minimum value for Green. MaxGreen = 255 // Maximum value for Green. MinBlue = 0 // Minimum value for Blue. MaxBlue = 255 // Maximum value for Blue. Sample = Half // All = Every Pixel, Half = Every Other Pixel FileName = c:\test.obj // Filename for the object definition End CreateObject Test - Revised a few sections of this document to be more up-to-date - Fixed a bug in the Beautify logic that would sometimes overwrite parts of a macro when there were too many END statements - New FORM type called LABEL allows you to insert a text only - SetMemoryEx and ReadMemoryEx work like SetMemory and ReadMemory with one exception. They accept a type for reading and writing. Types: LongWord, Word, ShortInt, SmallInt, LongInt, Int64, Byte, Real48, Single, Double, extended, comp. Usage: ReadMemory $Const = 005D7718, LongWord SetMemory 005D7718, 32, LongWord - Users can now define a Global Hotkey to Start/Pause/Resume/Stop a macro. Go into Macro/Preferences and enter the keystrokes for AC Tool to watch for - You can now turn on/off certain edit messages in the

Macro/Prefrences under the Debug tab - Moved several Asheron's Call specific options under the menu Macro/Asheron's Call 1 Settings - Added the cdsEdit tool to the Tools menu 4.5.4 - 02/20/2004: - EquipEX relies on the cursor pointer and busys state rather than the a plugin message which when merging items may not work - HTTPGet downloads a webpage and loads into a list. Do not add the http:// in front of website you wish to download. Usage: HTTPGet MyList, www.cameroncole.com - All keystrokes in Windows are now captured into {GlobalKeys}. The format is the decimal value of the character preceeded by @-alt, ^-ctrl, ~-shift if applicable and followed by a comma. Each time a key is pressed {GlobalKeyCount} increments by 1. - ClearGlobalKeys resets the {GlobalKeys} and {GlobalKeyCount }special variables. The command has no paramters - CDSEdit 2.0 now ships with AC Tool including an Advanced Query Mode and a dataset export to just about any known format 4.5.3 - 02/18/2004: - Corrected another problem when editing a macro with comments. An index out of bounds error would appear when deleting lines. 4.5.2 - 02/18/2004: - Scroll bars should now update properly when opening files after startup - Correct a problem when editing macros that would return a list index error - Fixed a bug in the include file logic that was not properly reporting the path and name of missing include files. - Dataset fields and constructs can now be the result of the compute 4.5.1 - 02/14/2004: - CastSpellEx and WaitforCursor are now functioning correctly - Companion reports correct version to chat window on login - VendorID command returns GUID of currently open vendor in {PluginResult} (Zero if no vendor is open) 4.5 - 02/08/2004: - Converted AC Tool source code to Delphi 7 - MouseClickDelay allows the user to select a millisecond delay between right and left mouse clicks. Usage: MouseClickDelay 100 - The SHIFT keyword can now be used in front of RIGHTMOUSEUP, RIGHTMOUSEDOWN, LEFTMOUSEUP, and LEFTMOUSEDOWN. This keyword depresses the SHIFT key before or after the UP/DOWN mouse action 4.4.16 - 12/10/2004:

- TradeAddItem. If you are in trade mode with another player, adds an item (name or GUID) to your side of the trade window - LoadDecalTrade.

Adds an item to Decal's ID queue for identification without requiring use of the Examine keystroke. Results are returned in the _id* variables. Note, if you have another plugin running that performs background ID's (eg BS/2 or ElTank), you will get unexpected results because the ID queue is shared. Usage: ExamineItem Copper Heavy Crossbow - LoadDecalWorldEx. An extended version of LoadDecalWorld that takes 2 additional filtering parameters. Currently only NAME and TYPE are supported filters. Others may be added if requested. Usage: LoadDecalWorldEx FilterBy, FilterValue, [optional DISTANCE] // Load DSWorld with only 'Player' type objects (Player = type 24) LoadDecalWorldEx TYPE, 24 // Load DSWorld with items containing 'Olthoi' in their name, // and get distance to each LoadDecalWorldEx NAME, Olthoi*, DISTANCE - LoadDecalEnchantment.

Should be fixed now - On Error procedure added for trapping the errors generated by AC Tool. There are also new variables called ErrorLine, ErrorMessage, and ErrorHandled. ErrorLine is the text of the line that generated the error. ErrorMessage is the message error text. ErrorHandled is either True or False (False by default). Setting it to True means that the error will not pop a message box and continue on processing. False will perform your code, but will pop the AC Tool error message when it is done with your procedure. Any errors in the On Error procedure will always pop a message box and not perform the code in On Error. ProcessMessages is not needed for this command to work. Here is some example code to work with: procedure ACToolError on Error SendText 13, Error in line $ErrorLine SendText 13, Error Message: $ErrorMessage SetConst ErrorHandled = True

end SetConst NoConstDefined = This is going to generate an error! - StrWord picks the word or number out of a string by offset and sets the specified constant.

If it detects certain keywords in the macro, it asks to make sure you want to perform the conversion - Cut/Copy/Paste/Delete/Select All keyboard shortcuts should now work on all the edit controls rather than always the Macro editor - Updated the help on the negative Coordinates for MousePos 4.0 Beta 4 - 11/01/2001: - When you get a compile error it highlights and takes you to the line - Fixed a bug with removing the AC Tool registry key on startup - Further sped up the SAY command and other keyboard commands - Now only asks to save when a change has occured since the last time you saved - Access Violation when moving mouse over the new AddOn items in the Commands and Macros Treeview - Underscores in procedure names now work properly - Added back in the Screen Constants menu options - Removed MOUSELOC and added the negative offset functionality to MOUSEPOS - Added to new special variables. {ScreenHeight} and {ScreenWidth} are the height and width of the current window - Removed the automatic window selection and pre 4 macro conversion now adds the SetActiveWindow at the top of the macro - Fixed multiple SetActiveWindow statements in a macro not working properly - Procedures can no longer begin with an underscore (_) 4.0 Beta 3 - 10/30/2001: - The | Delay behind commands was not working correctly for certain commands (keys, say, and a few others) - A new boolean evaluator has been added called CONTAINS. This allows you to test if some text exists in a variable or constant. Example: constants Name=Cameron end procedure TestName when $Name contains meron say Meron is here! end if $Name contains Cam say Cam is here! end

- EVERY was not being syntax highlighted in the editor - You can now press the Test Mode indicator on the Toolbar to activate Test Mode - Cleaned up the logging command to make it more effecient - KEYDOWN command allows the user to press and hold a keydown for a specified amount of time. Example: KeyDown {SPACE} 500 - It was possible to have Procedure and If statements without corresponding End statements - Removed the Repeat command since it was a poor version of the new KeyDown function - IRC functions should work properly now - Added the ability to specify macros to run via AC Tool Decal Addon - Added the new functions StrPos, StrLen, and StrCopy.

For example, "[SAY] Cam is Cool! |5000" will say Cam is Cool! followed by a 5 second delay. - A new macro setting named [COMMANDDELAY] allows a user to specify an N millisecond delay between the next command processed - You can now type in /stm for /startmacro - Adding the keyword EVERY N, behind the name of a procedure will cause that procedure to be run every N milliseconds - You no longer need to key in the amount of times to run /stm. The number of times to run is now optional. Syntax:

/stm 5 test /stm test /stm /stm 5

Runs test 5 times Runs test 1 time Starts the currently loaded macro and runs it once Runs the currently loaded macro 5 times

- Under certain scenarios, saving the previous settings when exiting AC Tool wasn't working properly. This should be fixed now - Multiple objects using the '|' to seperate them should now work properly - The Object Primer is now included with AC Tool compliments of Sauron. You can find it under the help menu. I haven't had time to clean this up from the MS DOC format it was supplied in yet. - Cleaned up the Object Mapper. Should be easier to use now. Also, added in the ability to click on the pasted screen to get the coords. 3.1 Release - 07/12/2001: - [IF] checks can now be numeric or string. Strings must be wrapped with " characters if the word "and" or "or" are inside the string.

Users will also have to change this in the the memory address screen after some AC patches - Changed [ISWHITE] to return true if all RGB values are higher than 220 - Changed [ISBLACK] to return true if all RGB values are lower than 50 - Changed [ISGREY] to return true if the RGB values are within 10 of each other and between 50 and 220 - Objects can be generated with | symbols between the coordinates for shortening. It does this now by default. The old object format should work fine also. - Moved around some items on the menu. If you can't find what you are looking for, post a message on the message boards. - Fixed the right click paste command - Added in a user-definable object variance using the [OBJVAR] command.

Go to the menu option Memory Addresses to edit. An encoded file is generated named MEMLOC.DAT. This file may be given to other users. - Users can now specify the window that AC Tool will send its keystokes and mouse click commands. Go to the menu option Memory Addresses to edit. Also includes a Window List for finding the right AC Window - Added the 1280x1024 resolution

- You no longer need "~" in order to type uppercase characters. Simply key in "Test!" and that is what will appear. "~test~1" will still be backwards compatible. 3.0 Beta 12 - 02/28/2001: - Corrected [BREAK]/[CONTINUE] not skipping past nested loops when [BREAK] not in an [IF] - Fixed the version dates 3.0 Beta 11 - 02/28/2001: - Corrected a few more [IF] [ELSE]/[BREAK] [EXIT] statement problems - Can no longer call [CONTINUE] or [BREAK] outside a Loop 3.0 Beta 10 - 02/25/2001: - Nested [IF], [ISCOLOR], [GETCOLOR], and [ISOBJECT] type statements were causing strange branching to occur 3.0 Beta 9 - 02/25/2001: - [ELSE] statements were not being recognized properly 3.0 Beta 8 - 02/25/2001: - [END] statement recognition is no longer case sensitive - Characters "," and "=" in constant statements no longer trip up [SETCONST] - You may now terminate [ISCOLOR], [GETCOLOR], [ISOBJECT], and [IF] statements with just [END] if you like - Fixed the [BREAK], [CONTINUE], [EXIT] functions to work properly - {ElapsedMSec} is a new variable in the system.

When AC Tool reaches this command, AC Tool stops running - Occasional incorrect display of the [DELAY] when adding it from the "Commands and Macros" listbox - [EXIT] command should be working properly now - Coordinates no longer double each time you go into the Object Mapper - /StartMacro X Filename should work correctly now (except on Win2k) - Attempt was made to fix the black screen in the Object Mapper

- The Object Mapper was truncating one pixel in the display - /* no longer freaks out the editor display 3.0 Beta 6 - 02/19/2001: - Added some new [ISCOLOR] routines that should be more stable. Try the [ISRED] and see if it works for you - Replace All had a bug where it would Replace forever if the replacing text was the same as the finding text. I did a cheesy fix, but it should work - Constants starting with Procedure no longer freak out AC Tool - [BREAK], [CONTINUE], [EXIT] no longer bomp out [IF] statements including [ISCOLOR], [GETCOLOR], etc. - Added a checkbox for performance logging. Leaving this off REALLY speeds up looping 3.0 Beta 5 - 02/17/2001: - Only change - Location variables {North}, {South}, {East}, {West}, {LocationBlock}. I will leave it up to you guys to figure out how to use them. I will tell you that turning on Logging in AC will produce a TON of location text. 3.0 Beta 4 - 02/17/2001: - Start macros inside of AC really working now - Start button not turning to the Stop button when complete has been fixed - Test Mode staying checked after attempting to uncheck it has been fixed - Select All is now working properly - [ISCOLOR] and [GETCOLOR] no longer do an AC screen capture automatically.

Works like the [SAY] command only it sends the text out to the IRC if enabled - Ability to run AC with the output going to the IRC channel has been enabled - Test mode now reports mouse movement correctly. Was showing X, X rather than X, Y - Start Macros Inside AC Should now be working. Illiminated the ACTOOLHOOK.DLL - Non-Numeric constants inside of a macro no longer cause the COMPUTE to fail - The Beta version is now displayed on the Taskbar and inside the About screen - A significantly better editor has been added. You can now set bookmarks (Ctrl-Shift-1..9, Ctrl-1..9), muli-undo with Ctrl-Z, smart tabs (indent by two, highlight press tab), syntax highlighting (some comments may not highlight properly), and lots more. Enjoy! - Windows 2000 "Stack Overflow" when pasting into the script editor has been fixed

- A new command [EXIT] jumps out of a procedure immediately - Fixed the :LOADFILE and :DELETEFILE not functioning properly in an [IF] statement - You can now nest up to 500 levels deep in if statements - Infinite recursion bug has been fixed - Redid the Object Mapper to make it a little easier to use. By including a coordinates file (1024x768.mac), you can zoom in on the exact coordinates and map them. - Start Macros Inside AC no longer eats up memory tons of memory while AC is running - Plugged a couple of memory leaks - You can now use constants inside of [ISCOLOR] commands - The Test Tab is always visible now. When selecting a Test Mode a label appears in the upper right - Beautify Macro now enables the save button - [TIMESTAMP] XXXXX now records on the Test Tab as well - New [GETCOLOR] (GetRed, GetBlue, GetGreen) have been added. This allows you to test the color of the pixel at a specific location. 3.0 Beta 2 - 02/14/2001: Fixed the font sizing not working properly Changed around the Macro menu to make it a little easier to navigate Corrected the text on the menu option "Start macros inside AC" You can now do real math via the [COMPUTE] statement. You will be able to the following commands (see CONSTANT.MAC for format): Accepted operators: + , - , * , / , ^ , MOD, DIV (MOD and DIV implicitly perform a trunc on their operands) The following functions are supported; it doesn't matter if you use lower or upper case: COS, SIN, SINH, COSH, TAN, COTAN, ARCTAN, ARG, EXP, LN, LOG10, LOG2, LOGN, SQRT, SQR, POWER, INTPOWER, MIN, MAX, ABS, TRUNC, INT, CEIL, FLOOR, HEAV (heav(x) is =1 for x>0 and =0 for x<=0), SIGN (sign(x) is 1 for x>1, 0 for x=0, -1 for x<0), ZERO (zero(x) is 0 for x=0, 1 for x<>0), PH (ph(x) = x - 2*pi*round(x/2/pi)) RND (rnd(x) = int(x) * Random) RANDOM (random(X) = Random; the argument X is not used) 3.0 Beta 1 - 02/14/2001: Macro memo can now edit macro files up to 2 gigabytes (in theory) Added an Abort to the Test Mode with [ISCOLOR] prompt Added milliseconds to the macro time Keyboard capture commands now work in Windows 2000. IRC Client has been added. You can access it from the Advanced Options|IRC menu option. This is a first pass just to see if everything works properly. Additional functionality will be added later. Currently, :STARTMACRO, :STOPMACRO, :STATUSTOOL, :PAUSEMACRO, and :RESUMEMACRO are supported - Another lock up was found and fixed inside of AC Tool - A new test mode was added that obsoletes the Commands and Keystrokes log. Instead, use "Test inside AC" under the test modes. This runs the macro in AC as usual, but also logs the keys to the Test Log tab just

like the other Test Modes. Careful not to run macros overnight in this mode since it really eats up memory. Use it for testing and debugging macros only - Hex Addresses for the mouse positioning are now editable. This allows me to distribute future patches without recompiling AC Tool in case the mouse coordinates are incorrect. Go to the menu option MOUSE_POS memory addresses to edit these. An encoded file is generated named MEMLOC.DAT. This file may be given to other users. - Object files have been added to AC Tool in order to identify an object by color. Please see the included OBJECT.MAC macro for an example of how this function works 2.5 Beta 6 - 02/12/2001: - STUPID... STUPID... STUPID... I made a stupid mistake on the color test in a recent release. It should be working now. - :Loops inside of :Loop 0 were actually running. This should no longer occur - A new test mode was added for asking if the [ISCOLOR] should be true or false (very cool for debugging) - Fixed the problem with running in Test Mode then turning it off and it staying in Test Mode - Save Bitmaps from Color Commands menu option now logs the results of the color test under the Test tab 2.5 Beta 5 - 02/12/2001: :Call inside an [IF] statement now works correctly Unterminated [IF] and [ENDIF] statements now give an error Several strange access violations have been cleared up Another locking problem was found and fixed Additional changes to the testing code to make it even easier to test macros Beta 4 - 02/11/2001: Revamped the test mode to work MUCH better than before Three new color commands [ISBLACK], [ISWHITE] and [ISGREY] [ISRED]/[ISBLUE]/[ISGREEN] no longer return true if pixel color is black, white, or grey When selecting Test Mode it was checking the wrong menu option Cleaned up the FAQ and added several new topics Fixed a bug on 95 machines not restoring the previous settings Pressing ENTER in the Commands and Macros listbox will produce the correct AC Tool syntax just like the double click Substantially better RTF cut and paste code has been added for copying macros from message boards

2.5 -

2.5 Beta 3 - 02/11/2001: - Fixed the problem with the Start/Stop button not working properly - [ENDCOLOR] was not stopping the [ISCOLOR] commands and was sending the letters to the macro - Moved "Test Only" to the Macro|Test Mode menu - Added in a new menu option for debugging the [ISCOLOR] commands. Under the Macro|Test Mode menu a new option exists called "Save Bitmaps from Color Commands". This new option saves the AC screen to a file

2.5 -

Beta 2 - 02/10/2001: Fixed the About screen to point to the included FAQ Added included FAQ link onto the Help menu Double clicking on [DELAY] allows users to key in minutes, seconds, and milliseconds Fixed hotkey conflict with the Start button and the Search menu You no longer have to forward define procedures Validation of constants was added to [SETCONST] :LOADFILE XXXXXX allows you to add an include file when the macro is running. This check is done as the macro runs rather than when you start the macro. If the file :LOADFILE cannot find the file, the macro continues on without stopping or warning. [SETCONST] can now look like this [SETCONST] X = 1 :Loop 0 now skips the loop completely Fixed the program so that after a paste it will not beautify Users now have a choice about font size "if" inside a constant definition now works properly Fixed bug with AC Tool using enormous amounts of memory Test mode no longer actually moves or clicks the mouse Test mode no longer delays on the [DELAY] command Added in the [CONTINUE] command. This allows a user to continue onto the next loop iteration. For example: :Loop 9 [IF] {Loop No} = 5 [CONTINUE] [ENDIF] {Loop No} :End Loop Output = 12346789 Notice the 5 is missing

- Added in the [BREAK] command. This allows a user to break out of a loop. For example: :Loop 10 [IF] {Loop No} = 5 [BREAK] [ENDIF] {Loop No} :End Loop Output = 1234 Notice the 56789 is missing - New commands: [IsRed], [IsBlue], [IsGreen]. Follow each command with the X and Y coordindates for the corresponding point on the screen. Here is an Example: [ISRED] 10, 10 [SAY] we have more red than blue or green [ELSE] [SAY] we do not have more red than blue or green [ENDCOLOR] Each of the commands returns true if the selected pixel is closer to that color. In the above example, if the pixel at 10, 10 is more red than blue or green it will return true and tell us we have more red than blue or green.

2.5 Beta 1 - 01/19/2001: - Users can no select the black text white background under the Macro menu - Moved Start Macros inside of AC under the Advanced Options for Experts menu - Added in better Cut and Paste capability - [SETCONST], [INC], [DEC] no longer interrupt the [IF] command - Sizing of controls is now corrected on startup - Changed color of all the edit boxes to yellow on navy - Added in the [IF] capability. Just double click on the [IF] command for the syntax - Made the main AC Tool form resizable - Changed the font of macros to Courier so the text would line up better - Added a spliter bar to the main form between the macro and commands - The last macro you were working on will now be reloaded when you start AC Tool. Thanks to David Smith for the code - AC Tool now restarts with the same size as when you closed it - Setting the value of one const to another now works correctly - You can use constants in the :Loop command now - [REPEAT] command now works with the extended keys - Implemented the [MOUSE_LOC] function. Allows users to key in coords from the corners of the screen. For example, [MOUSE_LOC] 10, 10 goes 10 pixels from the top left. [MOUSE_LOC] -10, -10 goes 10 pixels from the lower right - [INC], [DEC] commands have been added to increase, decrease the value of a constant by 1 2.4 Release - 12/15/2000: - Thanks to Cyphersnow for the fix to the MOUSE_POS command. AC Tool now works with AC December patch 2.3 Release - 11/07/2000: Fix to the Win 95/98 Macro problem thanks to The One Added in the ability to Find and Replace inside the macro Additional refinement of the mouse movements Pause/Break key now suspends macros inside AC when Start Macros Inside AC is turned on Removed the "dummy panel" at the top so that users would have more room to see commands and space Vamped up the about screen - Image by Manix... nice job Changed all instances of AC Toolbox to AC Tool Users may now enter procedures inside AC Tool Fixed some display issues with entering the [SAY] command Added the [RESOLUTION] command which determines what resolution you used to enter the mouse coords Added the ability to set your resolution for AC. This automatically scales the mouse commands in AC Form sizing of AC Tool is now much improved The application ICON is now AC Tool instead of AC Toolbox Fixed some procedure loading problems Added constants to AC Tool [SETCONST] now allows you to set the value of a constant on the fly [INCLUDE] FileName will insert a text file into the macro. This text file can include procedures, constants, etc.

2.2 Release - 10/07/2000: - Users may now type /PAUSEMACRO inside AC to suspend execution of a macro - Users may now click on the Pause button to suspend execution of a macro - Users may now type /RESUMEMACRO inside AC to resume a suspended macro - Users may now click on the Resume button to resume a suspended macro - Added in the [SAY] command to facilitate typing messages to other users - Added in the [PAUSE] command to allow users to pause scripts at predetermined points in a macro - Users may now type /SAYAGAIN inside AC to repeat the last [SAY] command - Further cleaned up the interface and organized the commands in the Command and Macros list. - Hopefully, fixed the "Unable to Insert Line" error - Logging of Keystrokes and Commands is no longer turned on by default - Performance tab now shows hours/minutes/seconds instead of seconds - Added in the [TIMESTAMP] command that adds in the date/time into the log on the performance tab. Format is "[TIMESTAMP] XXXXXXX" - Cut and Paste from the message board should always paste in correctly now - Moved Clear from the File menu to the Macro menu - Added in a Beautify Macro menu option under the Macro menu. Selecting this menu option causes the macro to be reformatted - Fixed the repeat command to actually do a number of seconds instead of a number of iterations - Performance tab now tells you when AC exited and a macro was running 2.1 Release - 09/08/2000: Typing text in the chat window now works properly Hopefully, fixed all of the other keyboard problems in AC Tool You can now put strings of text on one line rather than one character at a time Added edit menu options to facilitate cut, copy, paste, and undo Rewrote the keyboard handler to be more effective when using movement keys. Basically, "W" key should move you forward like pressing the key in the game manually. Added in MOUSE_POS for users on Windows 2000 who can use this function. I would HIGHLY recommend that you set your Windows desktop resolution to the same used by Asheron's Call making mouse position easier Added in a DELAY_KEYS command for setting the amount of time to wait after each line of keystrokes. This also is in milliseconds Removed the quick key for exit since it conflicted with the cut Fixed bug with the :Loop that caused it to send :Loop as keystrokes Certain scenarios with the :Loop would cause AC Tool to behave strangely {Loop No} now works and counts properly Added in the BELL command. This command allows users to sound out a tone through the PC Speaker as well as windows standard beeps Text now inserts where the cursor is rather than append to the end of the macro By selecting the Menu option Macro|Start Macros inside AC, users can type '/STARTMACRO X FILENAME' where X is the number of times to run the macro. The macro will the execute X number of times. The FILENAME specifies a saved macro in the same directory as AC Tool. FILENAME is an optional parameter.

"/STARTMACRO 2 DEFAULT.MAC" will run the macro DEFAULT 2 times - By selecting the Menu option Macro|Start Macros inside AC, users can type '/STOPMACRO'. The macro will stop execution after the command is entered - If a user did not include a space after a command (For example, [DELAY]1000), AC Tool would send it as keystrokes rather than run the command - KEYDOWN/KEYUP logic only worked in certain scenarios. Changed the functionality of the command. Now users have to select REPEAT with the keystroke, space, and the time to run. For example, "[REPEAT] {BACK} 2000" will move backwards for 2 seconds - In order to better use the MOUSE_POS, I added in images for the proper resolutions. This will allow you to position your mouse much easier - Added in a new tab that shows the amount of time each loop takes. This tab also shows total run time of the macro - Added several new menu options to make editing macros easier 2.0 Release - 08/16/2000: Added in the ability to use the /, *, -, and + on the keypad Added a tab to show the messages being sent AC Released the source on the web for the general public When trying to exit the software, it would not let you if the macro was running. This is now fixed. - Corrected the version numbers throughout the program

1.4 Release - 07/17/2000: - Exposed the mouse down and mouse up events seperately - [KEYDOWN] X now allows users to run the key until [KEYUP] command is sent. For Example: [KEYDOWN] A [Delay] 5000 [KEYUP] This will hit the key A as many times as it can for 5 seconds - Fixed the keys on the numeric keypads. On some keyboards, they were not working properly. 1.3 Release - 02/24/2000: Fixed the indenting of loops Nested loops were not working correctly Added in a new var called {Loop No} which sends a keystroke for the number of the loop. For example: :Loop 5 {Loop No} [Delay] 1000 :End Loop This code sends 1 (Second Delay), 2 (Second Delay), 3 (Second Delay), etc. - Removed several case sensitive checks in the code - Added scroll bars to the macro edit portion of the program 1.2 Release - 02/17/2000:

- Better way of commenting code in the program. Example: "[LeftClick] //Left Click Code" - Fixed the ~, ^, @, { characters by themself. They were running shift, control, menu, and special keys instead of the character - Fixed {XXXX} command. It was doing the command then the keys to the command - The loop command was looping one extra time - Cleaned up the list and added spacing to make it look a little better - Fixed the New Macro button and menu option. Now works properly 1.1 Release - 02/10/2000: - Couple of minor bugs fixed - Added in the loop functionality... Really helped the program a lot! 1.0 Release - 02/10/2000: - Initial release for public ----------------------------------------------------------------------------LIABILITY We try to keep our software as bug-free as possible. But it's a general rule (Murphy's), that no software ever is error free, and the number of errors increases with the complexity of the program.

This is a BIG thanks to David Smith - Who progressed this project further than any A.K.A. OnceBitten other person. He spent a great deal of time developing and supporting this product when I needed a break most. Both the Beta 14 and 15 releases are solely his doing. Not to mention the foundations of the Delphi version of the Companion. The Decal Team - The Decal Team made the Companion easy to write. Without Decal and the World Filters, none of the Decal goodness would have been done. - Spends countless hours on the message board helping out, has been an invaluable beta tester, and has picked up the source and made some great additions.

Ipa

AC Tool would have out lived its usefulness if not for Ipa. Special Thank You Paoda Psi Rick Van Prim The Wabbit Triane - For writing a much improved Object Mapper and helping out with the Betas - For building the UMP now included with AC Tool - Writing the AC Tool Decal Plugin and supporting such a large undertaking. He has definately earned a spot in this file. - Created the wObject and CreateObject commands. As well as several upgrades to the form object. Wonderful additions to AC Tool for sure. - Created the Dataset Primer document and provided the SPELLX.CDS which is the base for CastSpellRoot. Also helps out on the forums a great deal.

Thanks to Cyphersnow

- Cyphersnow made the necessary code changes to get MOUSE_POS to work with the 2000 December patch. Glutious Magimus - Started the FAQ on my message board. Without his involvement, I would have been driven crazy long ago with questions. Jeremy - For giving me some Delphi source code and some REALLY excellent ideas. MacroMaid - MacroMaid created some great additions to the FAQ for the newbies. Madar al-Aziz - Spend a lot of time writing many of the better macros for AC Tool. Manix - Created the previous AC Tool splash image. Russ China - Russ found the heading variable and did the testing for Beta 3.1. He also spends a lot of time contributing to the message boards. I am very happy to include his name here. Sauron - Wrote the object primer now included with the help system. Sauron is also one of the big helpers on the message boards to boot. Hats off. The One - Want to know how I got the mouse moves working in Windows 95/98? I didn't! The One did. Thank you very much.
