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. ~

Topic: Are all these Decal Filters necessary for Decal to work properly?

ACDC Core Filter is used by AC Dual Client. I think it lets you pick which character you want to log in with, from outside the game. You can probably get by with it disabled, but I doubt it'll make any noticeable difference in game performance.
Some plugins might not use all of the other filters, but in general, yes they're all needed. Filters keep track of information from the game, so that plugins don't have to.

The ACDC Core Filter does more than just allow you to log in a character. That is the PRIMARY functionality, but it also provides a redundant backup for path finding and path usage. When it gets initialized, it sends the AC path back to ACDualClient so that ACDualClient knows that the current client is in use.
It's basically a backup for both the Hooks and the Polling methods of Path Detection. (I figure using all 3 can't really hurt anything and might actually make it work better!)
