Using

Using Ace Creator is basically the same way you would with the command line. If you want to import a file, select the file from the drop down list, and click Import. If you wish to edit the file, if you click Edit SQL/JSON, it will open the file in your default editor for that type of file.

When you import a file, it auto populates the WCID field. In doing so you can create the item quickly, by clicking one of the following buttons.

  • Create Button - Creates the item on the ground in front of you
  • Create Inv. - Creates the item in your inventory (if it's allowed).
  • Create Inst. - Creates the item in a new Landblock instance.

Exporting

If you wish to export a weenie, you can type in the WCID in the Export WCID field, then click the export JSON/SQL Button. Also, if you click on an item in the environment, and click GetInfo, it will auto-populate the those WCID fields automatically.

Other Features

There are several other features/buttons.

  • Lookup Selected on Yotes - Just like it sounds, when you click this button it will open your default browser and look up the selected item on Optim Shi's Asheron's Call Wonder Emporium.
  • Lookup Selected PCAPs Export - Clicking this button will open your default browser and lookup the selected item on the PCAPs weenie repo.
  • Remove Instance - If you created an item with Create Instance, this will remove the item from the world.

  • Refresh File Lists - Clicking Button will refresh the files in your drop down lists (for example if you add files outside of the game environment)
