Advanced Combat Tracker

Connecting with Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT)

Chromatics has the ability to connect with ACT for extra effects relating to DPS, HPS, etc. tracking and other instance-related effects. Integration is done with a plugin for ACT which is provided in the Chromatics installation.

The following instructions assume you have ACT already setup to work with FFXIV.

Follow these steps to get ACT connected with Chromatics:

1. Open Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) as Administrator.

2. Click on the Plugins tab and select Browse.

3. In the Open Dialog box that opens, navigate to the folder where your Chromatics installation is:

   1. If you used the installer, this will generally be C:\Program Files (x86)\Chromatics.

   2. If you used the portable version, this will be wherever you run Chromatics.exe from.

4. Select the file ChromaticsACT.dll within the Chromatics install directory.

5. Select Open.

6. Click Add/Enable Plugin.

7. Ensure the Enabled checkbox is selected.

8. Run Chromatics and you should be ready to go.

Once the plugin is enabled in ACT, all other configuration can be done in Chromatics. The Chromatics tab in ACT will be blank.
