sorry didn't know, i don't play FF and the last thing i knew was that windowers were still banned (from some post in this blog a long time ago :P)

You got me on that one Jakk, never tried to do it while the page is inactive.

Will have to give it a try.

BTW, FFXIclopedia is your friend.

Ok seriously, some people need to learn just how to use their computer, let alone the game.

You can't use printscreen, even with the legal FFXI windower?

S'funny, I have no problem doing that.

Y'know what works? Click on an empty spot on your task bar, so that you put the FFXI window into inactive status without putting another window over it. You can still see the FFXI screen, and hey, voila, printscreen works just fine.

On the topic of todays post. Y'know what I did when I decided to go to the past for the first time? Sat my ass down in Jeuno and alt-tabbed so I could allagooglepedia all the info I'd need to know before I set one (virtual) foot out the damn door...

Bwahahaha! Sarcasm FTW!

And to the few ppl who made the comments about Alt-Tab? Ummmm.....FFXI has it's own windower now.....did you not get the update?

It's been almost a year.

So the Windower's program Alt-Tab isn't real?

... I'll be damned

Look, the Only differences between the unofficial windowers and the official SE one is that you can't screenshot the game by pressing the "print Screen button" on the official one, and also you can't use plug-in's and other crap on SE's

The quality is basically the same. One is legal and one is not.

If you have problems because the characters look "fatter" then change the screen resolution.

If it looks too dark, then change the gamma level in config.

2008-10-30T01:07:00.000-07:00

On the Alt-Tab/window thing, well I've only been in game for a little over two weeks and I'm still learning things. I looked up alt-tab in FFXI before I made my post. Also, the window mode, I tried it and the game looks crappy and does not run smoothly. So, a real alt-tab ability would be nice.

GM Dave,

The other day I was traveling through Qufim Island to Outpost warp to Sandy. I just happened to be on 75THF/37NIN and was just about to warp when I get a /tell.

Player> Hey you look rich gimme gil.
Me> warp
Me> Excuse me?
Player> You’re a 75Thf so you’re rich gimme some gils
Me> Ohh OK how about 100k will that be enough
Player> Yes, Please
Me> Ok I ma in Sandy at the moment. I will send it through the mail can you go check your mailbox?
Player> In a party can it wait?
Me> not really I need to make sure you get it before I log out.
Player> ok let me dump this party I need new gear anyway.
Me> Ok I’ll wait

Of course I didn’t send him a dime…. 10 min later

Player> its not in my mailbox
Me> Well zone out then back in.
Player> Still nothing
Me> Hmm. … try it from a different zone.
Player> nope…..
Me> Try logging out then back in
Player> No nothing
Me> OK try logging out then reboot and then let me know.
Player> OK

Another 15 minutes go bye

Player> Nope nothing there.
Me> Did you cycle your router?
Player> NO should I have?
Me> yes got try that

Another 30 minutes go bye

Player> Nope nothing….
Me> well I think you need to contact a GM
Me> ask for the one with the purple pet dragon
Me> he has experience in dealing with these very situations.
Player> What do I tell them?
Me> Tell him you were getting a delivery from a RMT service and it got lost in the mail.
Player> OK
Me> Good night time to log… see you again

I thought of you the entire time Gm Dave…

2008-10-29T16:31:00.000-07:00

I can't believe people still don't know about SE's new Windower program they made... Especially after I made a comment about it not that long ago in this same Blog.

Regardless, 4 possibilities:

1~He was playing from a console and does not have a computer at home, hence couldn't look it up online.

2~ Didn't know about windowers (Let it be legal or illegal).

3~ Has no friends and/or no LS.

4~ Simply has no common sense or common courtesy towards the Hard working GM's *Cough*.

I say he deserves at least a temp ban for any of those four options anyways.

2008-10-29T15:07:00.000-07:00

One reason I play on PS2. Can run over and get info while healing or in a battle if I'm on monk or doing etc. SE has prolly done good on the windower for the windows version of FFXI. Prolly helped those who TOO DUMB TO NOT CALL A GM FOR INFO!!!

I know it's not your job to implement game design, Davey boy, but if Square would get over themselves and allow a simple function like Alt-tab or window mode, people might feel more compelled to look it up.

Logging out, looking something up, and logging back in, especially if you have a less then optimal computer, is very tedious, especially when your playing something that tends to be as tedious as MMO's do. [/quote]

2008-10-29T11:35:00.000-07:00

I'm sorry, I don't normally post here, infact this is my first. However, after seeing the stupidity here I had to say something. Do any of you even play FFXI? Did you not know that SE has implemented a windower after 6 years of people bitching? You turn it on, and then you just minimize or shrink your screen if you want to look something up. You don't even need to log out...

Don't get me wrong. You're still a fucking idiot if you make a GM call for it. Don't have a linkshell? Then fucking ask somebody else. Like the not-idiot who was standing next to you a moment ago, and just went back in time.

2008-10-29T07:13:00.000-07:00

Yeah, a linkshell would've been a viable source of info. My linkshell is usually the first place I ask any questions I have, and they're a very helpful bunch.

2008-10-29T02:38:00.000-07:00

There are several ways to alt-tab. Some work really well, the other is actually legal.

That being said, I'm sure someone in his LS new what was going on, so ether he didn't have any friends, or he only friends idiots like himself.

Well they can annoy the GM's or they can log and look it up, or they can do what I did, build a second computer. If I need to look something up, BAM! There it is and it plays DVDs too! I built it out of old parts I had laying around, best idea I ever had... sadly...

I laughed out loud. I live in the land of confusion.
