The built in auto-sort does stack those items that are stackable in your main inventory, doesn't affect any of the other storage locations. Those you need to manually sort. LL was added before SE's added their feature though. And I believe most people used it not for so much for auto-stacking junk drops, but for blocking out junk drops. Was the reason I got all the beaks/feathers/crystals during bird parties but everyone else would just get beastmen seals.

I will admit on the 'Call TP in /p', it would have been nice back when I first started playing in '03; days of SC+MB were heavy at all levels/camps. I say'03 since I had bought the PC version after starting on PS2. But by the time a good percentage of the population started using this program, SC+MBs had pretty much fallen out of favor in standard parties. Only time I would see calls was during Sky/Sea (didn't do ground kings-no time for that) runs on the NMs, even that was so people wouldn't walk on the SAM's self-SCs. I was never in a group that had enough observant BLMs to actually be able to time a nuke for those events.

Distance and Draw-distance would have been extremely nice to have. Knowing how far away you were and cleaning up the graphics before we figured out the reg settings would have be wonderful. The timer counters is another of those I wish were in-game already, more so since I was on rdm most of the time.

The problem isn't lack of auto-stacking. It's that it goes a step further and auto-sorts everything in my pack. I have a group of gear that's for all of my jobs. And then I have gear for all my melee jobs that goes into my pack when I'm on a melee job. And then I have gear that's for a smaller subset of jobs that goes into my pack when I'm on one of those jobs. And then I have gear specifically for the job I'm on. If I let the game auto-sort, all those gear sets get mixed together, which would become a nightmare to manage when I switch between 7 jobs.

Just like to point out here, there is no "steam version." Steam's "version" is exactly the same as everyone else. The only difference is what directory you've installed it in. You can even run the "steam version" directly by clicking the .exe from the installation folder. You don't have to have steam running at all.

One thing I gotta say about running FFXI on a Mac with Parallels... is it's awesome.

You use Spaces on the Mac, which is basically 4 different "screens" you get to use. You just hit whatever key you have assigned to look at all the windows (for me it's F12), and it gives you a view of all four windows. I always keep Safari open on one screen with Zam on it, another with FFXI Atlas, if i don't have maps, and the first one is FFXI. I can easily switch back and forth without losing my login. I can even continue to play (with a game controller) while watching all 4 preview screens at once.
Necro Warning: This post occurred more than thirty days after the prior, and may be a necropost.

I don't know if it's still the case but FFXI Atlas used to be riddled with viruses and trojans. I would just use the Wiki for maps to be safe unless you are certain FFXI Atlas is safe now.

The only reason people use windower is for the plugins. The sooner you stop denying that the sooner we can get back to our things.

You can Alt+Tab with 100% original FFXI, just hit it up in the settings. But everyone knows why you're really asking anyhow...

Just a quickie but I thought XI now has the ability to be windowed ? It's in the Config options and if you are just after the alt tab function then I would suggest using that if you are really worried about "bans".

Except it sucks ***: tends to halve your frame rate, screws up gamma settings, and mutes the sound when not in focus so you can't hear /tells or agro when you're doing something else.


Hmm if by Sucks *** you mean lacks Plugins and Scripts of the unofficial Windower, Agreed. It has yet to kill my FPS or gamma.

That's always been how we approach those sorts of topics though, so it's not like it's anything new. Any topic just asking about the logistics or morality behind using Windower, just general comments involving it (like someone mentioning they use windower or that they take screenshots with windower or things like that), but if someone's asking for technical advice regarding it, then we say for them to go to the Windower forum instead.

That's not true. You (plural) used to flip your **** if people brought up windower.
