    Windowed mode @ tues patch

    via tekki, windowed mode will be ready for the tuesday patch

    Re: Windower @ tues patch

    I'd just like to clarify before people start calling it the "SE WIndower," that it's not a windower. Most likely, it'll just be a configuration option in the config app to run in windowed or full screen mode, and they'll remove the alt-tab restrictions. If you're holding out hope they'll be adding extras, like plugins, macros, or dual boxing, you're going to be disappointed.

    Edit: The current version of windower should not be run after this patch. Just don't do it. In fact, I wouldn't recommend running any third party applications until we get some confirmation on what's in the patch.

    Re: Windower @ tues patch

    Can't say this is really that exciting, maybe two years ago when people were looking for a solid windower still. But hey, its progress, right?

    Will the majority of the event info be posted/moved here? Would be nice to have it all in once place instead of sprinkled throughout advanced.

    Is there a second patch on the 20th, or did he mean Monday? I'm guessing SE announced Tuesday, but that's Tuesday in Japan, so Monday for us.

    I will let them ban my account before I let go of the features in windower. If they would like people to stop using it, then they can implement the features in-game, or piss off.

    Re: Windowed mode @ tues patch

    I wonder if now, windower will stop being a windower and will just be an ... overlayer? i.e. plugins, console, macro support, etc. but using SE's windowed mode and overlaying on top of that.

    I also wonder why they didn't just include the windowed mode along with their maintenance on Monday.

    IE: ffassist? (though we all <3 the macro features in windower)

    I would suggest writing out macros that are ffxi friendly and saving them (back up your USER directory), who knows what SE will be running to look for script macros being sent to them.


    the only real up-side i can see to this is, while we wait and see what the windower/ffassist ppl come up with after the patch, we'll still be able to alt-tab and won't be stuck in full-screen mode while waiting for updates.

    I can just see it now. People doing normal FFXI stuff, watching windower.net. "OMG, the fix is released!" (thousands log off simultaneously, logging back on minutes later) >.>

    Just give me TParty (something that should be implemented anyway), distance, and recast and I'll be set for life.

    All I care about is extended macros, recast, and distance. TParty is easy enough to deal without, though I definitely appreciate having it.

    Re: Windowed mode @ tues patch

    I just got out of the opening ceremonies, unfortunately cannot upload my video because the laptop I brought doesn't have the capability to capture from my camcorder ><

    The Windowed mode is FULLY FREELY RESIZABLE. He literally was typing to someone on MSN Messenger, then reached over and resized his FFXI screen from the size of the "Live in Vana'diel" pic on FFXI site to about 640X480 size. Fully movable, fully resizable. Hope someone can upload the video before I get home... kinda hard for me to explain ><

    SQUARE ENIX has FINALY released the game using a windowed function!

    They did this by having the game hover over what looks like the old Live Vana'diel video to hide it. Then they moved and rezied it around. To arrive in the Tuesday, November 20th version update.

    I just hope it will let me watch my Bleach episodes without crashing FFXI. Sounds like they put a lot more thought into it than just "let's let people play and be able to alt-tab to other applications". Glad to hear it.

    Re: Windowed mode @ tues patch

    Has there been any announcement as to when on Tuesday the patch is? Or why it wasn't included in Monday's maintenance?

    Monday's maintenance here in the US is Tuesday's maintenance in Japan.

    I think it's all in the same. Monday here = Tuesday in Japan. So the Japanese Devs are thinking Tuesday for them.
