    Windower

    I've finally gotten around to giving this game a whirl on the ole' PC and figured I'd like windower/fraps for all of the fun features.

    "the legal" ones. But I've always heard all this talk about Keyloggers and the like so I wasn't sure of a good safe place to download it from.

    Google gives me umpteen websites to get it at but I wasn't sure what one is the best.

    Since this is a retardedly n00b question this should be a good forum for it.

    i saw that one but wasn't sure if it was the best.

    Playing on 360 and Ps2 before that I know squat about windower or any of the plug ins.

    I just wanna be able to fraps conversations and maybe get the distance plug in for my LolElvaanBLM.

    It comes with the distance plugin, and you can download more plugins from the forums.

    you don't need windower to use fraps technically.

    If you do download the windower, make sure you take a look at the windower.ini file so that the resolution set in that .ini file matches your desktop resolution.

    You can also set the resolution lower so you can play in a little window.

    Depending how strong your PC is, you might experience a bit more lag by playing it in a smaller window.

    If you're just looking for Screenshots, windower will do fine. If you're looking to capture video, then yes, get fraps.

    Ok so is there a screenshot function of Windower then?

    Whats the name of that plug in or does it just come with it automatically?
    I feel like im in 2004 trying to figure this shit out.

    I'm just looking to take screenshots of conversations.

    It just changes the normal SS button (print screen) into a "windower" version of it. It saves the SS into a SS folder in the windower folder with everything that was on your ffxi screen at the time.

    Just a bit of warning using fraps.

    For myself, I make sure I close down my fraps if I watch any video. Otherwise, either WMP or FFXI will crash. It's a bit lame and I suppose it's a conflict of drivers.
