I designed a quick VB program to read text from Lineage 2, but how do I interface it with AC Tools? Does anyone know if there is a way?

Save it as XML, and load it to a dataset via DSLoad. Or save it as plain text and load it to a list via ListLoad.

since Ipa didn't say this, I dunno if you should;
BUT look at the source of accompanion, see how it sends data to actool, and just re-use some of the ac companion variables... good luck  peace Command |

Yeah, that's an option also, but not everyone who knows VB is ready for the plunge into the Win32 memory mapped file API's.
Too bad the old forums are gone, I posted VB6 code for this a few years ago, using the MMF format for ACTool 4.2.x. It is not trivial though, you need to code the VB "bridge" to be responsive to changes in the MMF, otherwise you'll get ACTool timeouts when the ACTool macro requests Companion variables. -------------------- Please read the Forum Posting Guidelines AND the FAQ Forum before posting.

Any chance you could assist in recreating this VB Code? I'd like to do some stuff with VB and actools, and XML would be too slow for this purpose.

It is old and out of date, but it has all the essentials.

If you send me the code, I can probably work it in as an AC Tool built-in.
