Is this happening to anyone else?

The built-in download function seems no longer to work for me...I cant find the option to "manually" download/create the files either =/

You should try GoArrow! Awesome plugin.

GoArrow is annoying. I want an out of game tool so I can show a big map without blocking my whole play window.

Doesn't the Map portion of Dereth Explorer work without the database of locations?

Granted it isn't completely helpful without at least SOME points, but *shrug*

I guess it really depends on what you're using it for and if you can just use the location as a marker rather than needing the database.

I dunno its just nice to have things updated. I use it alot...the program itself works greats its just the data bases it D/L's from are down and not being updated anymore.

You can adjust the maps window size and also move it around. If your running a 800 by 600 res....then that's really the problem. wink

However... You can also drag and scroll on those maps. It's just a container. Also try using your mouse wheel to zoom.

I think maybe... just maybe the lack of that knowledge is what makes go-arrow annoying.

doesn't WarCry or VN host a locations database?

I know WarCry used to have one that ACExplorer used to be able to use. I figured Dereth Explorer used a similar format and could possibly use it as well. Did WarCry take their database offline?

Last I knew .. when I look at the files in a compare utility (the DLed from Warcry against the present Dreath Explorer version) .. Warcry had changed thier XML format in thier downloadable file .. since July 2007 when the changes took place on thier web site.

the good thing about XML is it is EASY to convert to any format you want.

*shrug* could easily make an XSL transformation on it to convert to any format Dereth Explorer wants.

Its been approaching 4 months now since a new version was announced to possibly be coming.

So I guess we can only hope that if this would ever come out that the database would be made compatible again.

I thought we had made changes back again to address this issue, but I could be wrong. I'll ask.

Theoretically, it shouldn't be too difficult to make GoArrow display the map in a separate window from AC; all of the map drawing is done using GDI+. I've considered doing this in the past, but it never got past the "consider" phase. I might take further look into it, but no promises happy

Thanks for all the responses so far, but it seems Dereth Explorer can still not be updated without breaking it.


I bought the ACExplorerPro-Version quite some time ago, so I am currently using that one, but I really liked Dereth Explorer as well.

(Which is still nice, but its not up-to-date..)
