Utilities

NOTICE: Support for these utilities are provided only through the #acdev IRC channel on irc.sorcery.net by Heyus and through the forum on this site. They are all offered free of charge, but donations to aid with the delopment and continued upkeep of these plugins is appreciated (code doesn't grow on trees!).

Notice about brightness: If you run both of these plugins, the "later" one has priority over brightness control. Therefore the first plugin will have no effect because the second plugin has the final say.


There are two plugins on this page! Install the one that is right for you!

Render Changer (download) (screenshot)
Requires Decal 2.6.0.4 or higher.
Allows you to change some of the DirectX rendering options to add a little eyecandy to the game. This plugin does not "hack" the client, but rather tells DirectX how to draw what AC passes to it. Users interested only in making their screen brighter should use Let There Be Light. Render Changer is a crude and non-production quality plugin. It is only for having fun and does not remember settings between logins. A special thank you to Hazridi for writing the ghosting code and assisting with the finding of the included options.
Let There Be Light (download)
Requires Decal 2.6.0.4 or higher.
Brightens your 3D screen outside and in dungeons. This is a "lite" version of Render Changer in that LTBL only changes screen brightness. Unlike Render Changer, this plugin remembers your settings between logins.

To install: Save the DLL to somewhere on your computer ("C:\Program Files\Decal" works well). Start Decal and then double click the Decal icon in the system tray (by the clock). Click the Add button, then click Browse, and then find where you put the DLL. Go through the motions and you are done.

Sample 1: before and after. (yah, I know this one uses Render Changer, but it is the same code!)
Sample 2: before and after.
