Help: SWGCraft Options

These options apply to Traders and their use of SWGCraft. To utilize many of the crafting related features of SWGAide you must first register at SWGCraft (www.swgcraft.co.uk).

Remember that some features of SWGAide add their special options to the Options menu while in focus.

Main galaxy: the galaxy that will be pre-selected at many windows related to crafting. You may, whenever you want to, temporarily select any other galaxy at those windows.

Auto-update: once selected, when started and then hourly SWGAide will automatically download resource data for the "main galaxy".

Time zone: your time zone relative to the international GMT (UTC). Used to calculate elapsed time from the time resource availability were submitted to SWGCraft. Automatic change of daylight time is not supported.

User name and password: your login details to SWGCraft. Knowing that a password is sensitive data it is stored locally in encrypted form. When uploading data to SWGCraft its hash is used (its digital finger print from which it is impossible to reconstruct the original). When the has is retrieved from SWGCraft the password is strongly encrypted.

Verify: validate the correctness of entered username/password before saving them. Invalid username and/or password will disable many crafting related features of SWGAide.

Save: user name and password are the only data you must save manually. All other details are stored automatically.

SWGCraft data:

  1. The base URL to the server to communicate with.
  2. Resource path is part of the specific path to the exported resource data file, where "%BASE%" and "%GALAXY%.xml.gz" are filled in by SWGAide. Only the file type "xml.gz" is supported.
  3. Status file is the tiny file at the server that reads the recentmost time the exported data files were updated, used to avoid unnecessary downloads of the export files.
  4. SOAP is the path pointing to the provided SOAP service used by SWGAide to communicate resource data with SWGCraft.
Normally you should not have to touch these server settings and they are "locked" to prevent accidental data corruption that would stop SWGAide from connecting to SWGCraft.

Erasing any of these fields will reset it to its default value when you restart SWGAide.
