    Is anyone interested in the idea of a plugin based addon? (FFXIVAPP)

    I'm toying with the idea of building a plugin interface for FFXIVAPP; and was wondering if this might grab anyone's attention?

    Examples:
    Charting system
    Uploading of data to any site
    GUI

    Sounds cool. Love ffxiv-app btw!

    The only plugin I'd really desire atm, but the issue will be fixed in 2.0 anyway, is a yarnball-esque. For those unfamiliar, it let you see durations for buffs, but I'd want to see recasts for abilities on my bars that I cannot see. This way we can construct better macro palettes and not neglect things we "forget" to use. It would require an adjustable overlay of course.

    biggest thing is a distance/hp plugin. I wouldn't use a program that didn't have those.

    The question being asked by the thread name and the question being asked on the actual poll is pretty um... deceptive. I'm sure people hit yes without reading the question on the poll.

    Also, if FFXIV 2.0 has a user-created addon system, it would be almost completely pointless.`

    I was under the impression that's what was being referred to. Now I'm just confused.

    Not much to be confused about really, guy looking to make some profit from an add-on system.

    I voted no, I don't think something like that should be charged for. I'm sure plenty will be doing it for free, regardless. Isn't 2.0 supposed to have an API anyway for development of such things?

    I thought so. To clarify I'm not against donations or something of the like to support your work, but outright charging for usage would be a no.

    I didn't even see the poll, what a ridiculous question.

    This is what happens when your tired and posting >.> lol; to clarify yes there will be official UI addon's but having talked with SE I'm not so sure on how far they will go and I for one am not in the mood to have my screen turn into one of those crazy WoW photo's I've seen.

    The addon system wouldn't be something you a customer/user would pay for. The add-on system would be for a developer; I've put over 3000 hours and $1000 of my own money into making FFXIVAPP. I haven't asked for anything in return; but if I was to unlock the rest of my API system and let other developers take app and put plugins into it; that's something I feel I might charge a small fee for; and really I do mean small.

    I also will not allow any malicious plugins. I may carry a similar name; and chose it just for that reason but I will be 100% legit. SE has my source code form my last interview and I have offered contributor access as well. They are fully aware of what I'm writing.

    Sorry for the confusion; I really need to think before I type >.>

    Whoa, what? Are they looking to hire people to make official plugins or something?

    Windows Applications/Game Tools; I didn't get it however. They needed 5 years in Japan. I don't speak Japanese Hopefully I get a response soon on my dev request for early access; it was forwarded on after that. ^^

    It's pretty arrogant of you to think you can decide how someone should price a product they made themselves. I think it's best we leave pricing decisions to producers and purchase decisions to consumers.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    ITT: it is arrogant to give an honest and relevant answer to the op's question.


    seriously, what am I reading?

    I'm arrogant for answering with my own opinion about this product, which he asked for when creating this thread? Which then led to clarification, settling the issue to begin with. Why did you post?
