Quick question about Regedit

[The_OG_Nelta]

Can someone explain real quick how to do it for laptop? ><

[Arnster]

Same as you do it for desktop.

Well I had someone tell me how to do it step by step, and i really don't know how to do it.

Let me go ahead and ask some questions i've always been wondering about..

How do I automatically get FPS to load when i boot up the game on windower?
How do I automatically get my DrawDistance to 5.0?

[Kohan]

First, open your Windower INIT file. Find the area where the plug-ins are loaded. It'll look like this:

load LightLuggage
load TimeStamp
load DrawDistance

And so on. Modify it so it looks like this:

load LightLuggage
load TimeStamp
load DrawDistance
wait 5
DrawDistance setmap 5
DrawDistance setmob 5

As for FPS, find the part that looks like this:

//showfps 1

Take out the forward slashes.

about the regedit

i dont take any credit for this but,

Heres how to change your FFXI to look better.
If you go to Start > Run and type "regedit"; then go HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > PlayonlineUS > SquareEnix > FinalFantasyXI.
You'll see a list, and on the left you see 0000, 0001, 0002 and so on.

If you right click "0000" and then go to Modify, you'll see a box, where it says Value data, make that number somewhere between 4 and 6. This blurs your textures, making it look not so blocky.

Next right click "0003" and go to modify, change the Value data here to 800. Do the same for "0004". This changes the background resolution to 2048x2048 (very high).

"drawdistance set 5" does both map and mob to 5. Modify the wait as required such that it doesn't fire until you're actually logged in, otherwise it doesn't work.

If you're running autoexec, add:

<register event="login">pause 5; drawdistance set 5;</register>

to autoexec.xml, and it will fire 5 seconds after your character is logged on. It only triggers on the first login, though, will need to reactivate it if logging back and forth to mules.

You can also now use the 'Advanced' section of the Windower Launcher GUI or w/e to change the registry values without actually needing to use Regedit.

By logged in, do you mean whether you've hit "Accept" or not on the first screen? I set DrawDistance before I even log in, all the time, on the title screen usually.

I also didn't know that "DrawDistance set" worked anymore; thought they removed that when setmap and setmob were added. Nice to know that it does work.

As for editing the registry, perhaps this will be of use to you: http://z10.invisionfree.com/TheShado...showtopic=1407
