Age of Scripts

a script, what is it?

Scripts can be used for several things, communicating, searching, informing, timing, etc. By enriching them with color and/or a little HTML, they will become more visible and personalized. They can be sent in all channels of the game, provided that the script is not too heavy and subject to access.

Basically a script is nothing more than a text file with a unique name that is used to call it.

where to deposit the scripts?

All scripts must be placed directly in the “ Scripts ” folder located at the root of the game. If this folder is not present, you must create it!

where to test your scripts?

There is a chat dedicated to script testing, it's the /trial channel!

create your first script

1. Go to the game's “ Scripts ” folder.
2. Create a new text file and name it “ afi_hello_world_sample.txt ”.
3. Complete it with:
   afi_hello_world_sample.txt

   
   

   _10

   Bonjour Monde !

   
   
4. Return to game
5. In the chat /afi_hello_world_sample.txt in the desired chat and validate as one would to send text in the chat.

And voila, “ Hello World! ” appears in the chat.

script naming tips

use a prefix

There are several advantages to this:

1. There are a lot of scripts available on the Internet, so it is not impossible that when downloading a script it has the name of a script that you already have.
2. This allows you to define a script collection, and it will be easier to find in the folder.
3. In-game, by typing /afi followed by pressing the “ TAB ” (tabulation) key, the game will offer the complete list of scripts available with this prefix

with the extension *.txt or without?

Both work!

Personally, I prefer without the extension, simply because no script/macro created by Funcom has this extension. However, this prevents Windows from opening it in your preferred editor via double-click.
