A Utility for exploring the world of Dereth.  Uses the database from AC-Spedia to map all known objects in Asheron's Call.  You can easily add your own objects to this database, including detailed items such as buildings and roads.  A Shortest Path routine can compute the shortest portal path between two points.  Real-time party tracking makes corpse recovery easy!  A very powerful and easy to use utility.  A must for any serious AC explorer!

NOTE: AC Explorer gets its data from the AC-Spedia web site.  Please DO NOT send me email about problems with any locations.  You need to update any incorrect data by going to the AC-Spedia web site directly.  Use the Update Database command in the Help menu in AC Explorer to download the latest data from AC-Spedia.

Feature Description

User Interface
AC Screen Shot

An easy to use graphical interface.

Comprehensive Database
aclist.gif (7616 bytes)

The AC-Spedia database is the best AC database on the net.  Updated by players of AC, it contains information about most every location in the game.
Accuracy
aceimage1.gif (7830 bytes)
The included map is high resolution and very accurate.  Dungeons on the edge of a river actually show up next to the river on the map!  Supports location resolution to 1/100th of a kilometer.

Add your own objects

Add your own objects to the database easily. Or modify the existing database.
Detailed maps
acdetail.gif (4634 bytes)
Detailed regional maps can be created with low-level details such as buildings, roads, hunting grounds, etc.   Exchange these custom detail files with your friends to build an entire map of Dereth.  Detailed map of Tou-Tou area included with program.
Shortest Path
 
The shortest path algorithm is fast, accurate, and easy to use.  Just click on the start and end points.  No more selecting a location from a long list of entries.  The algorithm also follows the terrain, so it won't tell you to cross the ocean or climb a cliff that is too steep.  You can also create regions that the path will avoid (such as dangerous spawn areas).
Real-time Tracking
Track the current in-game location of any number of players.  Great for keeping track of your hunting party.  You can leave a trail to show your movement history, detect your corpse when you die, and much more!  Full 0.01 accuracy and real-time heading also shown.
Dungeon Maps
Dungeon maps can be downloaded and displayed from a remote server.  Comes pre-configured to use the ACMaps site at http://acmaps.acsage.com/
Searching
acsearch.gif (5059 bytes)
Allows you to search the entire database using keywords.  Great for finding those Banderling hunting areas.

Fast

AC Explorer uses optimized graphic algorithms for fast display in any zoom mode
Runs along side Asheron's Call While it isn't the smallest program in the world (and was never intended to be), it runs just fine at the same time as Asheron's Call.  So you can Alt-Tab between the game and the map to keep from getting lost.
Database Updating Built-in Update command downloads the latest version of the master database from AC-Spedia, so you are always up to date.
COM Automation Includes a COM Automation server to allow AC Explorer to be controlled remotely from other software such as Visual Basic.
Documentation Includes a help file that describes how to use the program, and includes information on file formats being used.   Files are text and can be easily edited using Notepad if necessary.
FREE Trial The older versions of AC Explorer are Free.  The newer AC Explorer Pro application is $20 US, but has a 30-day free trial evaluation.
