The Kith Guide › Getting started
🔑 Account Management
Change your password, check for updates, link Discord, and sign out.
The Account page is the housekeeping. Your sign-in, your Discord link, your display name, updates, and the way into this guide.
| Section | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Signed in | Which account you are using. |
| Discord | Link or unlink your Discord identity. |
| Display name | The name other people see on shared things. |
| Change password | Set a new password. |
| App updates | Check for and install updates. |
| Help | The 📖 Training Guide button — this guide, inside the app. |
| Sign out | End the session. |
This is the one that matters most. Your Discord identity is what ties the app to the rest of Kith.
- Open Account → Discord.
- Click to link and approve the prompt.
- Your avatar and handle appear on the Home Screen.
With Discord linked, the app can show your LFG runs, your Market activity and your orders. Without it, those tools work but cannot tell who you are.
| What you want | Where to set it up |
|---|---|
| Identify yourself to Kith online | Link Discord on Account. |
| Save a character's build and role | Use Character Profile. |
| Read drops from game chat | Set up Game chat logs here, then enable the LFG watcher. |
| Import vendor sales and purchases | Add each character's mail folder in Sales Ledger. |
Saving a profile does not enable game logging or import mail. Linking a folder does not mean all your character's stats update from the game.
- Find your SWG Restoration installation. If you do not know its location, right-click your game shortcut in Windows and choose Open file location. If that opens another shortcut, repeat there. Look for the installation containing x64 and profiles. Your installation may be on a different drive.
- Open x64 → profiles → your game account → Restoration. The account folder is your game account, not your Discord name or character name.
- A typical path is
C:\SWG Restoration\x64\profiles\<your account>\Restoration. Replace<your account>with the folder you see; do not type the angle brackets. This folder holds files named like<id>_chatlog.txt. - In Kith, open Home → Account → Game chat logs → Browse to your Restoration folder…. Select the Restoration folder, not a text file. It saves automatically after a successful scan.
- Read the results. Saved confirms the folder was stored. Named rows show logs Kith could identify. A saved folder can still have unnamed logs; read the explanation beside each row.
- In game, type
/logand confirm Chat logging ON. This is a toggle; typing it again may turn logging off. Play a session, then Rescan if a log was empty or could not be labelled. - Follow Chat-log Loot Watcher to enable capture for a run. Saving the folder alone does not start recording a run.
| What you see | What to try |
|---|---|
| No chat logs found | Check the folder, enable logging in game, play and rescan. |
| Several accounts | Browse into the account you play, then its Restoration folder. |
| Folder saved, character unnamed | Read the row's message. More chat or first-person loot evidence may be needed. LFG Auto can still use the saved folder. |
| Game moved or reinstalled | Browse to the new folder and check the saved path. |
| Need to start over | Reset forgets the saved folder and character chat-log links after confirmation; then browse again. |
Click ? Help on a member tool's left edge to open its guide in your browser. The tool stays open with your work intact. Resources Help follows the active Live Resources or My Inventory tab. The full Training Guide remains available on Account; its text is bundled with the app. Web guides and screenshots need an internet connection.
- Account → Change password.
- Enter your current password, then the new one twice.
- Confirm.
The Workshop checks on its own, but you can force it:
- Account → App updates → check.
- If one is available, install it. The app restarts.
- A What's new note lists what changed.
Signs you out and returns to the login screen. Your data stays on the machine; you will not lose anything.
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| Discord link will not complete | The browser window needs to finish and return to the app. Do not close it early. |
| Password change is rejected | The current password is wrong, or the new one does not meet requirements. |
| "Check for updates" finds nothing but you know there is one | Releases roll out in stages. Wait, or reinstall from the download page. |
| Your display name is not what shows in Discord | They are separate. This one is for Kith; Discord's is Discord's. |
