Windowed mode @ tues patch

[Zosi]

SE said something about not banning people outright for using windower anyway, that continued use would be at your own risk. Meh, who knows what that means, but eh.

We've been playing with Windower "at our own risk" for several years now. It's just their way of saying that nothing has changed regarding their Windower banning policy.

I wouldn't recommend running any third party applications until we get some confirmation on what's in the patch.

Invisible root kits to detect 3rd party tools!!! (Thanks, Blizzard!)

DX9 is reason enough for me to check it out.

[Beckwin]

will DX9 resolved issues with nvidia cards?

Macro Palette
The Macro Palette will be increased from 200 entries to 4000. The current set of 200 entires will be multiplied across "books," labeled Book 1 ~ Book 20. Book names can be changed by the player.

from GOD aka Elmer from Japan fan fest post or whatever it is they have over there.

Yes, but those are still 6-line shitty macros, just more of them. Guess my bard's HP down set and string/wind/haste set swaps aren't going to be used for a while.

Ok....just tried to log in with no windower to make sure nothing is wrong for when the expansion comes out...I get this:

Video drivers. Update/downgrade them.

[aceofspades]

go into ffxiconfig and change to a standard resolution

that msg means your running in a window thats not a standard AR

[Siralin]

Thanks Ace...that was the problem. I had reg-edited shit to a higher res and didn't realize non-windowed mode couldn't handle it. Hopefully the official windower will allow higher resolutions, because opening in non-windowed mode under 1024x1024 looks like garbage.

Well yeah. I'd start taking a closer look at their EULA (if they even have one) post-official windower. I mean, I'm sure their stance will be the same, but I'd really hate for us to be agreeing to allow them to check for windower and not actually realizing it. It'd be something SE would do, but meh. I'll hold off until the windower team works out whether or not its safe as it used to be.

[Kirbyprime]

Here's the thing, my previous BLM pre-windower macro set consisted of 7 palettes all of which are filled (though have to admit some are duplicates like Sleep and Stun) and even then it was far inferior to my current windower macros (which still sucks and needs to be updated to spellcast). I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one, so watch the following happen between the time WotG comes out and windower is fixed.

- Major HNM and things like Salvage will take 1.25-1.5x the time to beat
- Meritpos will start thinking 15k/h exp is good XD
- People will actually have space in their inventory because they can't use half their gear >.>

[Kaisha]

Hoping you can freely swap in and out of full-screen here (via good ol' alt-enter).

As much as I'd like a windowed mode, I'd rather not have to log-off to set it back to full.

[aceofspades]

more likely with the maximize button

[Epical]

Man, I don't care about the loss of all plugins, but the fact that A L L my macros are Windower script is going to seriously fuck me. ;;

[Zanz L. Barre The 3rd]

Obviously alone on this, but I'll welcome the official windower. Anything to get away from the project that Taj was a part of.

Yes, because living without vastly helpful plug-ins because of the creator and not the creation is far more logical than enjoying infinitely valuable tools.

I truly hope you're joking.

Taj didn't even create windower, as far as I know he just made some plug-ins. Simple solution: Don't use those plug-ins.

Probably why I used the words "that Taj was a part of."

As it stands now, the only plugin I ever use regularly is TParty, in no small part to it being preloaded and me being horribly lazy. Since I've never relied on extended windower macros, I don't see much reason to continuing using the unofficial windower.

Originally, I didn't want to use them, however, I became really tired of hitting 2 macros to do one thing and also of having to hit each one 3+ times to get them to work. I don't want to go back to the they-work-when-they-want and extremely limited macros.
