Anyone able to provide me with info about how to update calibration from the ACXServ these days using AC Explorer map program. Id like to get tracking to work again.. It seems Dereth Explorer no longer updates and the corrupted files wont let DE to even open up anymore. If anyone can even post an updated url to recent DE data files would be great too even. I have found changing DE map from .png to .bmp for ACExplorer provides and updated map and the places I have found a sticky on how to update to recent ACExplorer places. The one thing I wasn't able to find was the settings I should use for calibrating ACXServ these days.


I read in a few other posts that automatic and manual ACXServer calibration methods might not work and I would have to provide an overridden calibration which it asks for:

Offset:

Heading:


Which could churn out to be anything, I have noticed Dereth Explorer(DE) memlocs have been posted but I am wondering the settings needed for ACXServ.


Thanks,

for the most part i use dserv instead of acx. so thats the info for dserv which works fine with acexplorer.

Thanks, I will definitely try using DServ with AC Explorer tonight. Thanks for that advice, I believe (DE) has a corrupt database it is corrupt while trying to be updated. If anyone can still post a url to last/latest working (DE) data base files. I wonder if we can resurrect some appz back to life.

Both downloading (DE) and getting updates for it doesn't seem to work anymore. Which is why I am wondering if anyone has updated database files for it and can post it. It still a great program while I still have it installed. If anyone else needs the link to the installer. I still have only the original installer laying around if anyone else needs it. It includes the old original database files and should have DServ included with this setup file.

I don't think DE was ever updated to be compatible with the new database format that CoD switched to a while back.

I can provide my DE database files if you need them.

The ones that look newer than the ones in DEInstall_0.3.0.0.msi are:


barriers.xml 5k 9/9/2006

data_cod.xml 3,303k 5/19/2007

data_spedia.xml 2418k 5/19/2007 (data may be frozen from an earlier date?)

dungeon_ids.csv 24k 10/18/2006

dungeonmap.dat 509k 9/9/2006

heightdata.dat 1021k 9/9/2006

quests.xml 95k 5/19/2007


My map is dereth.png 3925k 9/9/2006, the rest of the files in the map folder are from 6/21/2006

If it works, I wouldn't mind hosting it as a mirror on my site if need be. If you could make a zip file of your Data folder and post the url of your zip file through rapidshare.com or some other free web host I would be most grateful to download it and give that a try. Thanks! :-)

The files are at: http://rapidshare.com/files/91068795/DerethExplorerData.zip.html

It's about 10M, mostly due to the .png map files. You should be able to just drop these files into the DE install directory and be updated to 5/19/2007. If anyone else has more current data files, please share.

Thanks much! If anyone has any newer then 5/19/07. I will post them as well.

Thanks for hosting it.


Oops, I meant drop the files in the DATA folder under the default install folder.

The file we really need that's newer that 5/19/07 is data_cod.xml

I'm not sure when CoD made the data format change that broke DE updater, but I don't think it was much after that.

You know that if it is proper XML, you can easily just use XSLT to transform the XML into any other format you want (including transformed XML)?


That's the beauty of XML. Find the current format, then find the format you want, then create an XSLT file to do the translation for you. Done!
