Istaria Companion
From Istaria Lexica
Welcome to the Istaria Companion Documentation page.
Istaria Companion is basically a log file parser for Istaria - Chronicles of the Gifted. It offers you some nice features delivering information about your play style and contains useful tools to make life easier in Istaria and Istaria Lexica.
- What does it do?
- It reads your local install's log file (/logs/client_chat_log_xx-xx-xx_xx_xx_xx.txt)
- It reads your local ClientLookups file (/resources/ClientLookups.def)
- It reads some or all files from your installation folder when doing a backup
- What does it NOT?
- It cannot manipulate your Istaria installation files in any way (is against Code of Conduct)
- It cannot make changes ingame in any way (is against Code of Conduct)
- Windows SmartScreen reports an unsecure app and blocks the installer by default. That doesn't mean it's malicious software, Microsoft just wants you to believe that. It does NOT install any malware, spyware, freeware or bloatware. I'll never ever add such trash to my software.
Please read the 'getting started' section carefully!
Download[edit]
Istaria Companion only works with 64bit systems. You'll need at least Windows 7 installed to be able to run it.

Getting started / Installing[edit]
NOTE: If you want to update Istaria Companion, ensure all Companions are closed prior to starting the installation procedure.
NOTE: If you're running a second Companion on your computer, the update feature added in version 1.4.0 and above won't work on the second install. You'll need to copy the first install manually into the second install, please follow this guide to do so.
- After downloading, start the install program.
- Security software may warn about a possible threat. This is a false warning.
- User Account Control may ask you if you want to allow the execution, please confirm by pressing 'Yes'.
- Accept the license agreement, press 'Next'.
- On the following dialog you won't need to change the directory in most cases. DO NOT choose Istaria's directory there! Press next when done. (This dialog is not shown when you upgrade an already existing version)
- If you want it to, let the installer create a shortcut onto your Desktop, leave the checkbox checked in that case. Press 'Next'.
- Press 'Install'.
- Press 'Finish'.
- Start the Program for the first time. If the program fails to start and shows an error, please read here...
- Companion asks you to choose the Istaria installation folder. Press 'Choose..' and browse to the folder you've installed Istaria into. Usually this is at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Istaria
- Confirm by pressing the 'OK' button.
- Companion now starts and begins parsing your Istaria log file
- Start Istaria and log in
- Open the options window
- Select the 'Advanced' folder
- check the 'Chat Logging' and 'Simple Combat Feedback' options. This enables the chat text log file and abbreviates your combat messages in chat, which the parser requires to be able to work correctly.
- Confirm by pressing the 'OK' button
- Now Istaria Companion should work fine.
