Contacting

The home of daocskilla is the Excalibur Project on SourceForge. Please use the forums there for support and suggestions. http://sourceforge.net/projects/excalibar/
Note: The project page on SourceForge is excalibar not excalibur.

Requirements

- The stable DaocSkilla zip file extracted with "Use folder names" on. http://capnbry.net/daoc/daocskilla.php
- A network card over which DAoC traffic flows. DaocSkilla does not work over dial-ups under Windows 2000 and WindowsXP.
- WinPCAP v3 installed. This can be downloaded from http://winpcap.polito.it/
- A video card and drivers that support at least OpenGL version 1.2. For full functionality, 1.3 with GLUT should be used.
- If Dark Age of Cameot is not installed in C:\Mytic\Isles\ then you must launch daocskilla and close it once, then edit edit the daocskilla.ini and change the DAOCPath option to reflect where Dark Age is installed.

Main screen

Track character logins -- Turn this on if you'd like daocskilla to cache your character logins for use with the QuickLaunch functionality.
Launch DAOC -- Launch Dark Age using the character listed in the above drop down box.
Remove -- Remove the character listed in the above drop down box from the character cache.
Other buttons are explained in their respective sections below.

QuickLaunch

QuickLaunch allows you to used cached login information to launch immediately into the Dark Age client, bypassing the normal login sequence. Why would you want to do that? Because it's friggin annoying to have to go through the new EUALA speiel every time you log in another account. The disadvantage is that you still have to use the regular patcher to get new versions. You cannot run an old game.dll against a newer version server. You must patch manually every time there is a patch. Once the patcher is done, just close the login dialog.
Your login information is stored locally in the daocskilla.ini. Use the "Remove" button to delete a cached login. The quicklaunch function requires that your DAOCPath is set properly.

Connection setup

The first thing you'll need to do is set up your connection. Do this by clicking the button next to the "Set up connection" label. There are 3 basic modes of operation:

Sniff packets and process locally
This is where you'll run DaocSkilla and have it process the packets and show the radar on the on the local machine. You'll want to run daoc in a window if you do this, or else you won't be able to see daocskilla. To run in this mode:
- Turn on "Sniff packets directly from adapter".
- Select the adapter the traffic will be on from the list.
- Make sure the "Process packets locally" option is selected.
This method can also be used if you're running daocskilla on another machine and you have a hub (not a router or switch). You may need to turn on "Promiscuous capture" to get it to work.
Sniff packets and send them to another machine
This is good if you have a second machine and wish to run daoc full-screen. You'll run two copies of daocskilla, and have one send the packets to the other. To run in this mode:
- Turn on "Sniff packets directly from adapter"
- Select the adapter the traffic will be on from the list.
- Select "Send packets to another machine"
- Enter the host name or IP address of the machine that will receive the packets.
Collect packets sent from another daocskilla instance
Use this in conjunction with #2 to provide a remote display of daoc running on another machine. WinPCAP does not need to be installed on the collector machine.
- Disable "Sniff packets directly from adapter"

Excalibur window

The Excalibur window is the 'radar' window which displays players, mobs, and objects in your immediate vicinity. The approximate maximum
range of the radar is 6000' metric Dark Age units. Press F1 to display a list of options for the radar window.

In the default display, the yellow triangle in the middle is you. The rings are there to help estimate scale and range. The red ring is 500',
the green ring is 1500', the white ring is 6000'. The green cone extending from you is an approximation of what you can actually see in your DAoC
window when your clipping plane is set far. Larger mobs are visible sooner. The slider at the bottom of the screen adjusts the range of the radar.

Objects are colored based on their con color. Objects with a colored ring around them are players, and the ring indicates their home realm.
Players in your guild have their highlight ring colored half teal. Players in your group have their highlight ring colored half orange.

Tracing and Debugging

This dialog is useful for recording and playing back daoc sessions. Mostly this is used for debugging.

Process packet data -- This is a global override to disable processing if packets by the DAOCConnection core. The sniffer will still remain active.
Dump packet data to log window -- Dumps decryped daoc traffic to the main window.
Capture packets to mycap.cap -- Creates a log file of the daoc session. This should be turned on before the connection is established if you expect to be able to play it back. When a developer asks for a capture of a reproducable bug, this is what you'll need to turn on.
Capture mob updates to mobseen -- Writes out a text file of the location of every mob and vehicle you see. File format.
Capture item delves to delveseen -- Writes out a text file with item information for every item which is delved. File format
The edit box is the name of a capture file for playback.
Reset file -- Open the playback file and reset it to position 0.
Play packets -- Open the playback file and continuously replay packets.
Play one packet -- Open the playback file and play one packet from it.
Dump mobs -- Dump the list of currently active mobs to the log window.

Resume last connection

If doacskilla crashes mid-session, this might be able to pick up the stream back from where it left off. Everything current will appear as an Unknown Object but new objects should display properly. This is only meant to be used as a crutch until you can safely relog into Dark Age.

Real time chat log

Records a chat.log just like daoc does, except it runs real-time rather than buffered like theirs does.

Macroing

WARNING: The macroing code is unmaintained and unsupported. It may not perform correctly and you may lose precious items. The best way to learn the ins and outs is to read the source. If you are willing to accept the risks associated with letting an untested application spend your money and sell your stuff, then edit your daocskilla.ini and add to the [Main] section EnableMacroing=1.

General Notes

Only the "Classic Interface" is supported. If you have Shrouded Isles, select the classic interface from the options at the character selection screen. If you have Trials of Atlantis, you're currently SoL because the Atlantis classic interface does not have the proper geometry to be macroed by daocskilla. To clarify that, macroing with the ToA client does not work properly, do not use it!
Do not move any windows once you've launched daoc. This is very important because their positions are only saved to the file we load them from when you quit. If you move a window (or your quickbar) once you log in, daocskilla will think it is still in the original place.
The macroing operations work in both full screen and windowed mode at any resolution.
Macroing becomes active when the appropriate macro function window is open and stops if you close the window performing the macroing function.
Your DAOCPath must be set correctly for anything to work. This is displayed in the title bar of the main window, and can be changed by exiting and editing daocskilla.ini.
Changes to any edit box do not take effect until you press Enter. The label next to the edit box will turn red to remind you that the value is changed but the change is not saved yet.
Some, if not all, macroing functions do not work on European clients. The localized text is not recognised by the parser.

Show nav map nodes

Displays a rendering of the currently loaded navigation map. Not really useful unless you're writing your own .NOD files.

Autosell hinges and powerskill items

If you have an NPC selected (actually if you have anything selected), this will automatically sell back hinges, cloaks, and any item on your powerskill list. For this to work, F2 should be mapped to quicksell, and your inventory tab should be open. Masterpiece items are never auto sold. Autosell is triggered when you have something selected by a change to your inventory and had a 1 in 7 chance of starting. Once it starts, all items deemed sellable are sold. You need to be in range of the selected NPC to be able to autosell.

AFK message

This is a feature I wish Mythic would have implemented like back in 2001, but took until late 2003 to get in. If you get a tell while this window is open, it will reply immediately with the message you specify.

Macro script

This loads the Windows Scripting Host and runs a script calling events in your code as things happen in-game. This was really never completed due to the vast amount of work needed to expose all the daocskilla objects over COM. See the appendix for a description of the interface available.

Macro tradeskill

This is "Homer's Bird" of tradeskilling. It just presses a key every time you build an item. All the intelligence required of a LGM crafter in 2 lines of code. The Macro Tradeskill action is triggered by the completion (success or failure) of any tradeskill item. You'll need to manually 'kick start' the process by pressing the first key of your progression manually. You can stop daocskilla by moving and cancelling your product, closing the Macro window, or by stopping your build manually.

Progression -- Which keys to press in what order. This was written back in the day when some items required multiple build steps to complete. If the item you are building requires you to make the item in quickbar slot '2' successfully then the item in quickbar slot '3' successfully and finally create the item in quickbar '4' successfully, then your progression is 234. When the end of the progression is reached, daocskilla will loop back to the beginning unless Target Quality is reached. Note: slot '10' is represented as '0' in this instance.
Target Quality -- The desired quality of the final item. DaocSkilla will stop pressing Progression keys if the quality of item produced in the last step of Progression is greater than or equal to Target Quality. Setting to 0 disables this behavior.
Target Sound -- A wav file which is played if target quality is reached. Setting to BEEP uses an internal dee-doo-dee-doo sound.
Stop if inventory full -- This doesn't work right all the time, but the idea is that daocskilla will stop building items if your inventory fills up. Usually it stops after one item falls on the ground. Sometimes it never stops. It is always a good idea to be close while macroing anyway, so keep an eye on it.

Stack Odds
There was a good amout of talk going around a while back about if you could get more masterpieces by "loading the odds in your favor"; creating low-cost items until you're on a bad streak, then switching over to make your item now that the random number you're looking for should be coming up soon. It's a load of crap of course, since each build is independant and each has an equal chance of being what you want regardless of your current streak. I've done extensive testing (on the order of hundreds of thousands of items) and it doesn't make a bit of difference. If it makes you feel better though, feel free to try it. out.

Quickbar Item -- This is the low-cost item you want to build until the odds are in your favor.
Max Percent -- I forget how this works but I think its something like it builds at least Count cheap items, then keeps making them until the percentage of them that are greater or equal to your Target Quality is less than Max Percent. For example, if you have Max Percent set to 2.0 and Target Quality set to 100, then Stack Odds will keep making the low-cost item until less than 2% of all the items it has made are less than 100% quality. Set to 0 to disable.
Count -- If Max Precent is disabled, this indicates a 'streak based' odds stack. Simply put, daocskilla will craft the low cost item until Count of them in a row are less than your Target Quality. This is also used to preload the Max Percent method with data so it has a decent sample of crafted items on which to base its analysis (since if you make just one item and is below your Target Quality then your percent will be 0% but you really haven't stacked the odds at all)

PowerSkill Buy

This buys the supplies from a vendor to craft with. Powerskill buy is triggered by a vendor window opening. This is usually used in conjuction with the Macro Tradeskill window. PowerSkill Buy will buy the necessary supplies to craft, then navigate your ForgeNode and begin Macro Tradeskill in 5 seconds. When it is out of supplies it will navigate back to the MerchantNode. You must manually start purchasing by right-clicking the merchant. If you do not have a forge node assigned, Macro Tradeskill must be manually started. It is controlled by a Profile which defines what skill you're working.

When you hit the Load button for a profile. The box below should fill with a list of recipes. If this doesn't happen nothing else after this will work correctly.
Auto-advance item with skill -- If this is on, daocskilla will pick which item you will skill on based on your skill and HowOrange from the profile. It will pick the first item which is below or equal to your skilllevel+howorange. This adjustment takes place every time the vendor window opens, not on every skill gain.
If you do not have Auto-advance skill turned on, you'll need to manually select the item you want to buy supplies for before you open the vendor window.
Clicking the count label in the Recipe area will change the quantity.
The Q button is for "Place on quickbar". For this to work, the tradeskill must be in quickbar slot '1'. When you press the Q, daocskilla will ask you where you want the recipe to be placed. Type the slot (Note: slot 10 is '10' not '0') and press Enter. It is advisable not to use the mouse to click OK, since daocskilla wants to use the mouse to place the quickbar item.
When using an Include or Exclude filter, the recipe name must match the Include and not match the Exclude. For example, if you only wanted to powerskill your tailor on Mjuklaedar boots, gloves, and sleeves, you could set IncludeRecipes=*mjuklaedar* and ExcludeRecipes=*cap,*jerkin,*leggings.

The profile is just an INI file in the daocskilla directory. The following entries from the INI are used:

Name	Default	Description
DefaultMinPurchase	1	Materials for making this many items will be purchased.
SkillName		The name of the skill you're advancing as it appears in your characters abilities tab in daoc. Note that the skill name (e.g. Armorcraft) usually differs from the recipe skill name (e.g. Armorcrafting)
RecipeSkillName		The name of the skill you are advancing as it appears in the daoc recipe file. Note that the recipe skill name (e.g. Armorcrafting) usually differs from the skill name (e.g. Armorcraft)
LocaleNodeListName		The .NOD file which contains a list of relevant nodes for moving your character to the vendor and craft area.
MerchantNodeName		The name of the node where the merchant is, and where daocskilla should go when it runs out of supplies.
ForgeNodeName		The name of the node where you can craft, where daocskilla goes when it has materials it needs.
RecipeRealm	1	What realm you're in. 1=Albion 2=Midgard 3=Hibernia
HowOrange	0	When AutoAdvance is on, this is how orange an item you want to make is. This will also adjust the skill levels noted next to the item in the list, but not affect its con color.
UseMBuy	1	Use /mbuy to buy items from the vendor rather than clicking a bajillion times.
IncludeRecipes		Only include recipes that match this list. Comma-delimited list, wildcards are supported, spaces must be enclosed in quotes. (e.g. "raw * Jewel",*Rune) A blank IncludeRecipes matches every recipe.
ExcludeRecipes		Exclude recipes that match this list. Comma-delimited list, wildcards are supported, spaces must be enclosed in quotes. (e.g. "raw * Jewel",*Rune) A blank ExcludeRecipes matches no recipes.
AutoStartProgression	1	Should "Macro Tradeskill" automatically be started on arrival at the ForgeNode?
AutoDeselectMerchant	1	Should the merchant be automatically unselected for you on arrival at the ForgeNode? This is to prevent autosell from firing if your merchant node is too far from the forge node.
AutoQuickbarSlot	0	The slot to put the recipe in on arrival at the forge node, or 0 to disable auto-quickbar. Note: The tradeskill icon (e.g. Tailoring) must be in slot 1, therefore valid slots would be 2-10. If this is set, then Macro Tradeskills' progression will also automatically be set to this value on arrival.
MerchantName		When arriving at MerchantNodeName, attempt to select this merchant using F9. If no merchant name is specified, daocskilla will attempt to select the merchant sells the first material listed for the recipe.

Spellcraft Help

This is used to help configure spellcrafting gems, and overrides the functionality of both the Macro Tradeskill and PowerSkill Buy windows. Right clicking the dialog will allow you to load and save an item's gem configuration. The SC point value might be wrong in some instances, so you may not want to trust it.

NOD files

.NOD files are a collection of world-coordinate points and their connecting paths. Basically:

"Nodename",region,x,y,z,head,radius
    nodelink1
    nodelink2
    nodelink3

Let's look at an example from jord.nod included with the DaocSkilla zip. The second node in the file is:

"Aaric1",101,29588,35270,8005,203,75
    NWMerchantArea

The name is Aaric1 in Region 101, loc 29588,35720,8005. The implementation does nothing with heading, but when I created this node I was facing 203 (SW I think). The radius is 75, which means that if I am within 75 imperial dark age units from the loc, I'm considered there. There is also a link from this node to the node named NWMerchantArea. By saying it is linked, this means that there is a one-way path, straight and direct, from this node to the NWMerchantArea node. Links are specified one per line and must begin with whitespace. A line which begins right at the first column indicates the end of the link list and the start of a new node.

"But Bry, that's a lot of tedious typing of coordinates ", you say. Actually, the easiest way to enter them is to use the remote control interface. Just run to where you want the node and type "NodeAdd (name)". If you want to link the new node to another exisiting node, the easiest way is "LinkNearestTo (other node)". This adds a two-way link to and from the other node. Making a path is easy:
NodeClear
NodeAdd start
(run a bit)
NodeAdd step1
LinkNearestTo start
(run a bit)
NodeAdd step2
LinkNearestTo step1
(run a bit)
NodeAdd step3
LinkNearestTo step2
(run a bit)
NodeAdd finish
LinkNearestTo step3
NodeSave my_new_path

Now when you want to run from anywhere along the path to the "finish" node. Just type PathTo finish. You will move to the nearest node, then travel from there along your path to finish. You can also GotoNode, which will run directly to that node without following your path. Or TurnToNode, which will point you in the direction of your node.

Remote control

Questions

The list of mobs on the left is blank! They show up on the map but not on the list.
You have "Show NPC type tag" turned on. Press Y to toggle the option, or turn off the checkbox on the options dialog.
Why is the "Background image maps" option in the Excalibur prefs greyed out?
This option requires that your video card driver supports compressed textures. This is standard in OpenGL 1.3.
What is GLUT?
GLUT stands for OpenGL Utility Toolkit, and is a collection of helper functions for OpenGL applications. It was originally written by Mark Kilgard, ported to Win32 by Nate Robins. If you do not have GLUT you can download it from http://www.xmission.com/~nate/glut.html. All you need is to put glut32.dll in your windows system directory, or in the same directory as daocskilla.
The background image maps are pretty blurry. Are their higher quality versions?
Yes. The free background image maps are very low resolution. You can create your own using Mapper from randomly.org. You'll then need to convert them into DDS format using the DXTC texture tools in either Photoshop or using the command-line tools. You want color DXTC1, no mipmaps. Their size can be anywhere from 16x16 up to 4 times the largest texture that your video card can support.
How far can DaocSkilla 'see'?
The maximum range the server sends positon updates for mobiles and players is around 6000 Imperial Dark Age Length Units (IDALU). This is the distance represented by the default largest gray range circle. For comparison, a "zone" is 65,536 IDALU in each direction. This means that you can 'see' about 2.7% of a zone at any time. The Dark Age client will show you anything within 3300 IDALU (adjusted upward by the height of the object), in about an 80 degree Field of View while in first person mode.
Can DaocSkilla see stealthed players?
DaocSkilla can not see stealthed players that you could not see normally in their ghosted state. No radar hack can. The server only sends data on stealth players to the client if the stealther fails his pulsing stealth check and goes into ghosted mode. There are occasions when an NPC might cause a failure of the stealth pulse though. Also, sometimes you'll get a message saying "Player X is stealthed" when player X hasn't been announced. This is called an "Anonymous Stealther" and indicates someone is stealthed near (~1000 IDALU) you but you can't see them.
How come not every enemy player has their class displayed?
The class-guessing system can only detect the classes of players wearing classic epic armor.
I've got "Track Character Logins" checked, but no characters are listed in the box.
The characters listed in the quicklaunch list are cached logins for characters daocskilla has seen you play. Two things must happen for a character to be added to the list. 1) The character you want to play has to have been logged into the game (not just the login screen, actually in game) at least once. 2) DaocSkilla must be working, i.e. when you logged in the character the server ping label should have a server ping, not say 'Disconnected'.
Do I start DAoC or daocskilla first?
DaocSkilla must be started and your adapter opened before starting Dark Age.
How do I delete or rename a pushpin?
There is no UI for deleting or renaming a pushpin at this time. To delete or rename one, edit the .PIN file using a text editor. You may also directly add pins to the file following the format described in the file. Note: the first line of the file is always discarded.
What do I use to compile the source for daocskilla?
DaocSkilla is written in Borland Delphi 6. Borland used to have a free download of the Personal Edition of Delphi 6, but has removed the download from their site. I've heard it is still available from this site. If not try a google, kazaa, or eMule search. You'll also need some units from the Delphi OpenGL Toolkit [delphi3d.net] if you want to compile the radar screen.
