Install or update

  1. Need the base game first? Download and extract the original Offline DAoC v0.3 release.
  2. Close the game, server and launcher. Download UPDATE-OFFLINE-DAOC.cmd and Update-OfflineDAoC.ps1 into your game folder (next to START OFFLINE DAOC.cmd) and run the .cmd.
  3. It downloads the update pack, checks its SHA-256, backs up every file it replaces under update-backups, and installs it. Saves, account.txt and configs are never touched. After the first update, run UPDATE OFFLINE DAOC.cmd from the game folder to get later releases.

Coming from a v0.3 game with characters? The first launch asks for a one-time Camlann world reset (full backup first, local account kept). Old characters do not carry over.

Changes in 0.273.0

Added

  • game.dll analysis for a companion paperdoll with drag and drop
    (docs/COMPANION_PAPERDOLL_RE.md, TASKS 129): the client's move-item
    sender, item array and icon lookup, drag record and drag-source kinds,
    and the stock quiver window as the pattern for item slots in an XML
    window.
  • Companion paperdoll probe (research only, offline-tested; the owner's
    real-client check is pending). A four-slot Custom6 window (the
    companion's helm, chest and first two backpack slots) built on the
    0.272.0 Companion Manager client:
    • Click an item in your bag, then a slot: the client sends the stock
      move-item packet and the companion equips or takes the item through the
      existing inventory view and its protections. Click a filled slot to pick
      its item up and click your bag to take it back.
    • The window shows the items' real icons and a status line that reports
      what the client did, for the probe's four questions.
    • /companions gearprobe [name] [plain] opens it (plain: without the
      House Vault window), /companions gearprobe off closes it.
    • Builder source/server/tools/probe_companion_paperdoll.py, Unicorn test
      test_companion_paperdoll_probe.py, installer
      tools/dev/Install-CompanionPaperdollProbe.ps1 (dry run by default,
      backup and -RestoreBackup). The probe client files are not part of the
      release pack.

Changed

  • Companion Manager protocol 3 gains operations 7-9 (paperdoll icon refresh,
    show and hide Custom6); clients without the probe ignore them.
