Tired of editing those Ascent config files? Then this program is for you. It allows you to quickly set up your emulator. It also simplifies the process of making it public.
I made this youtube video showing how to use it

How to use it
You will be asked to find the folder containing your Ascent config files this is either the folder with your server executables or it's cfg subfolderOn the first page just press nextOn the MySQL page enter the you hostname username and password, if you want to use the same username and password for all databases. Make sure that Other Credentials is unchecked. Type in your world logon and character database names and press nextOn the ports page you most often don't need to change anything, so don't unless you know what you are doingOn the Realms page. You select the publicity setting you want and type in the IP addresses. If you want your server to be for this computer only, just press nextNow we are done! You need to click finish on this page for the file to be writtenWARNING: This program was intended to be used on unedited Ascent config files and will OVERWRITE old configuration that it does not Support! So Always have a backup

Quote:Looks nice, +Rep. I didn't try it out, but would be cool if you stored all the information you fill out the first time in an encrypted file (Because it contains MySQL user/pass, among other things), then it loads in automatically when the program is run. If he makes another change, the change is made in the encrypted file.
Edit - Gotta spread :/

Yes but what about the server? Is it to magically decrypt the config somehow?
Also, this seems like a useless tool of sorts... It writes a brand new file, it seems tedious to have to readd all other existing options if you only want to change a specific option.
.NET Framework 4.0 is completely unnecessary, you can change it to 2.0 because I can safely assume you just used simple StreamWriter functions or something like that. (writing/reading from a file, or just writing purely).
The only real reason I can see for using this app is for a complete moron who can't open up the configs or doesn't know the value types for each section, but then isn't everything commented?
All in all, it seems like a good starter app to learn some C# concepts.

Quote: @Oceanblack,
I agree that It should use Framework 2.0.
However I do not agree that this is a "starter app"
This is a rather advanced application as it does actually parse the files and implement real domain based design as it's used in my other applications. This is an real OOP implementation of the ascent config files which does not exist in Ascent based emulators (because they want it fast).
It does actually parse the config files
It does only partially overwrite configuration files due to some bugs and missing implementations. The reason I made a premature release was that I wanted it
out before Reflection went on his holiday.
TL;DR: This program is not one long String.Format
