A.R.C.C.

This guide aims at explaining how to use A.R.C.C., the Advanced Ryzom Content Creator. A.R.C.C. is a tool that allows to create scripts that will be interpreted by a web server and will interact with Ryzom's server.

Access

ARCC Login window

In the top left corner, flags allow to choose the language of the interface (current screenshots show French vue - to be changed whenever someone has time to do it). This login window is the same everywhere in Ryzom. You'll have to fill the first field with your Character (PC) name. Beware, for animation team, it's the name of their animation toon, and not the one of the characters they could have created in the game (they are allowed 5 PC in game, as any player).

Folders and events

Open

As soon as login on, use finds a page offering access to various parts of the ARCC.

1st page window

The ARCC appears like an ensemble of events gathered in folders.

Each folder may contain events or folders, which can produce a tree view more or less complex.

• Zone 1 allows you to navigate in this tree view.

	The root appears as a small «house» icon. The «house» is the first folder, the one that contins all other elements, events and folders.
	Generally, folders are represented with classical icons for folders (the last two ones in the example shown here above). Some important folders are bestowed a specific icon.
	Events are represented with the icon shown on the left.

• Zone 2 allows to create a new folder or a new event.
  • The first field will contain the name of the object, preferably in English for common data, and preferably without accented or specific characters (â, ñ, ß...)
  • The second fied is a list of values:
    • Default value is Folder.
    • Second choice, when reading down the list, is Event.
  • The third and last field, add, is actually a button. Click on it to start the creation of the object. Notice that hitting the <Enter> key is equivalent to clicking the add button.

• Zone 3 contains the objects, folders or events, which have already been created in Zone 1 (here «house»).

Navigation

This zone 3 allows to navigate through the tree view. In the following example, the «TESTS» folders contains the «bepock» folder which, in turn, containts the «test» folder.
