Inner Space build 6019, now the development build of Inner Space, improves compatibility with both Arc Launcher and Swordsman Online. To try it out, right click IS and select Patcher, tick "Download development (test) patches" then close and restart Inner Space.
To launch Swordsman Online through Inner Space, use Add Game and point IS at Arc.exe. Use ISBoxer's Quick Setup Wizard to create your team, just select "Other" on the first page and the "Make game believe it is foreground window" option (discussed earlier in the thread by folks who either did not use the wizard or did not select Other) will be checked for you automatically. A near-future ISBoxer update will add Swordsman Online to the drop-down. Use the Game and Game Profile that you added to IS for Arc.
After creating your team with the Quick Setup Wizard, add a Virtual File called config.ini. You do not need any other Virtual Files for this game (ArcOsOverlay.exe, discussed earlier in the thread, is handled a different way internally). It's easy to do, right click "Virtual Files" in the top left pane, type "config.ini" with no quotes in the "Filename to virtualize" box (leave the drop-down at Other), and select your Swordsman Online characters on the next page. A near-future ISBoxer update will add Swordsman Online to the drop-down and virtualize config.ini. This file makes it so the Arc Launcher's auto-login feature works for each of your accounts, so you don't have to enter your password after logging in the first time with ISBoxer. (yay!)
Export to Inner Space after making changes in ISBoxer.
To launch the team:
1. Close Arc. ISBoxer will need to launch it.
2. Launch your team, or just Slot 1 since only 1 slot is going to be able to launch at a time with this process
3. Make sure you log in the correct account in Arc
4. Launch Swordsman Online via Arc
5. Click Launch in the Swordsman Online patcher
6. At this point the game window will come up, the SOL (can I just call it that?) patcher will close, but Arc stays open
7. Click to log into a server (doing this later in the process may give an incorrect password message)
8. Terminate Arc. Arc will not let you close it the usual way. I am killing it with Windows Task Manager, and so can you: press Ctrl+Shift+Escape to bring it up, find Arc, select it and click End Task.
9. Launch your team or just the next slot; repeat from Step 3 until your team is launched!
That should more or less cover getting your characters online! For gameplay questions/tips (how to follow/assist, etc) let's do new threads. Keep this thread solely about launching the game via Arc; thanks!
