[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	I'm preparing to swap out pc's and don't want to lose some of the account settings that I have, as they are quite old and I know I don't have the info stored anywhere else. Any way to just swap the data files or anything? -----signature----- Proud member of The Knights of Fortune Mr Adventure - Lil' Pew - Da Noob - Qar Yaroz - Yanno http://www.fortunesway.com

	Disable the MachineID and Password option. Then just save the ACDualClient.ini file Copy to the new machine, and put a password/machineID on the new machine. Your characters are secured and transported Be aware that disabling the password removes some of the "extra" security put onto the account information. The password is there to help encrypt the data and prevent people from being able to decrypt the information on their own machine. -----signature-----

	Ok.. thanks for the response.. Hmm.. those seemed to have been disabled by default (I never changed it). I guess I'll give it a try. Might as well, since I'm waiting for the village police department to come unlock my car. -----signature----- Proud member of The Knights of Fortune Mr Adventure - Lil' Pew - Da Noob - Qar Yaroz - Yanno http://www.fortunesway.com

	IF they were disabled, then you never enabled them. Its not a huge issue... you just don't get the extra security and protection on your accounts. (if someone were able to get the file off your computer, they could put it on their computer and log in with your accounts) The password protection makes the information more secure by encrypting it with your own password rather than the "default" password. Enabling that option forces the user to type in the password each time they launch ACDualClient. The MachineID option makes it so that the password doesn't have to be entered every time, but it still uses your password to encrypt the data. It uses the unique machine id to "store" the hashed form of your typed in password. If the other computer doesn't have that same MachineID, then the password has to be entered to decrypt the information as ACDualClient doesn't know what it is. That's all it does. -----signature-----
