rancha

Multibox Character Launcher for Dark Age of Camelot

No install required

• If you just want to run it (and not compile from source), the following two files need to be in the same directory (for example create a directory in your downloads folder called 'rancha':

rancha-imgui.exe : https://github.com/towbes/rancha/blob/main/Pre-Compiled/rancha-imgui.exe

login.dll : https://github.com/towbes/rancha/blob/main/Pre-Compiled/login.dll

Usage Instructions

• Rancha expects your DAOC installation to be at C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Dark Age of Camelot\

• Download the repository and unzip to a directory. Rancha.exe and login.dll have to be in the same directory.

• The directory should be writeable so rancha can save character profiles into a folder called 'accounts'

• When you first launch rancha you will be at the Login screen. There are two ways to log in:

1. Account Name + Password + Server

2. Account Name + Password + Character Name + Realm + Server

• If you click "Login" DAOC will launch and log in with the input you supplied.

• If you click "Save Account", rancha will save that information to a file "" in the current working directory in a folder called 'accounts'

• If you click "Save Charcter", rancha will save that character information to a file "" in the current working directory in a folder called 'accounts'

• You can then click File -> Accounts to view the saved accounts screen:

• Click on the account you want to log in and select a server, then press the Login button.

• You can then click File -> Characters to view the saved characters screen:

• Click on the character you want to log in, then press the Login button.

• To use the teams page go to File -> Teams

• Click the characters you want to add to a team, and enter the team name in the box next to "Save Team" (selected characters are highlighted blue)

• Click Save Team

• The drop down menu will now have a list of saved teams, select the team you want, then press "Login". All windows will launch

What it does

• Saves characters for each account name in separate files

• Saves teams of characters

• You can save multiple characters for each account. Enter the character names one at a time and click save (while keeping the same account information entered)

• Allows you to launch more than 2 DAOC windows (by stopping the DAOC mutex)

• Changes the name of the window to the character name

• Uses ImGui for UI, and cereal for saving/loading files

Known Issues / To Do items

• Would like to add the "teams" feature to launch multiple characters at once
