Every downloaded Dofus version has a page of its own in Asteroboard. From there you explore what Asterobot downloaded and extracted for it: the world map and each map, the game data, the game texts and the music. None of it needs a bot. The first tab, Information, also gathers every action on the version in one place.
Open it
- Open Game Manager.
- On the version's row, click the game's name or Inspect.
Both only appear on Dofus versions for Windows whose Status is Installed. Versions of other games or platforms have no Game page.
The page's address names the version and the tab you're on, so you can bookmark a tab or keep its link. When a link names a version your Asterobot doesn't have, the page offers to download it (see A version that isn't installed).
The header and the tabs
The header shows the game's icon and name, and the version number. On the Text, Maps and Game data tabs, a Language selector on the right sets the language of game texts and names: Français, English, Deutsch, Español or Português. It starts on the language Asteroboard is in. Your choice is remembered in this browser, for every Game page.
| Tab | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Information | The version's statuses and every action on it, described below. |
| Text | Statistics on the game's text file of a language, and the lookup of one text. See Game texts. |
| Maps | The world map and the map viewer. See World map and Map viewer. |
| Game data | Search, browse and query the game data. See Game data and SQL. |
| Music | Download, extract and play the game's music. See Music. |
Maps and Game data read the extracted game data, so they have nothing to show until the version is extracted (Extract game data). Text reads the downloaded text files directly.
If a tab runs into an error while it's displayed, it's replaced by Couldn't load this panel with the error's text. Switch to another tab and back, or reload the page.
The Information tab
Statuses
The first row repeats what Game Manager shows for the version, with two buttons:
- The download Status, such as Installed, with a progress bar while downloading or verifying, and an info icon with the reason when it's Failed.
- Ready for bot or Not ready, followed by Check if ready for bot, which checks again on disk.
- Compatible or Different version, only for the environment
dofus3, followed by Check for latest version, which asks Ankama's download servers whether a newer version is out.
Required files
This card tells whether the files a bot needs are on disk, for every language at once:
| Badge | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Present | Every file a bot needs is downloaded. |
| Missing | At least one is missing, and Download needed files appears next to the badge. |
| Unknown | Asteroboard couldn't ask Asterobot. |
Download needed files downloads only the missing files, in the same queue as other downloads, and Asteroboard shows Download queued. It doesn't start an extraction: once the download is done, extract the version if it isn't Extracted yet.
At the bottom of the card, Verify files, Download more files (Retry on a failed version) and Uninstall work as in the version's menu in Game Manager (Manage game versions). Point at a button to read what it does.
Extracted data
This card shows the extraction status, with a progress bar while it runs, and two buttons: Extract data, which reads Re-extract data once the version is extracted, and Remove extracted data. Extract game data explains both.
Delete
Delete, at the bottom of the tab, removes the version's files, its extracted game data and its row, once you confirm. Manage game versions compares it with Uninstall.
A version that isn't installed
When the page's version isn't in Game Manager, for example after you deleted it, the tabs make way for a card saying the version isn't installed, such as Dofus 3.6.11.13 isn't installed.
Download this version downloads the files a bot needs for that version and extracts them once the download finishes, as long as Asteroboard stays open. The version then appears in Game Manager and the tabs come back. If the download can't be queued, Asteroboard shows Couldn't queue the download.
