Ffxi Humblebrag

This has to be AI, right? >_>

It's fake, you can stop biting.

It's real. In true SE fashion, their way to limit it to 4 is the dumbest *** thing ever.

I remember reading the patch notes , having prelogged outside the cauldron because i felt it was the right zone , then rushing to BG to tell everyone id gotten it. 15 or so mins after the patch was live i had the highest blacksmithing in the world for an hour ish.

I also will never forget the 1st Ebody -1 i crafted , had lived in SSG for a solid 3 months killing for southern pearls. everyone gathered nailed the 1/1 hq we lost it , hit the 2nd one and insta funded my relic H2H. I think i went on to make 4-5 total as they dropped under 99m or w/e the bazaar cap was. Leveling into warrior with ebody+1 and a ridil was *** silly and juiced.

Yeah, folks will believe anything. If there was a way to mess with the POL UI to support more then four per session, someone from the Windower dev team would of come up with a workaround years ago. They are already in the memory space and can modify all sorts of stuff on-the-fly there.

**** or gtfo* as the kids say.

The only thing fake are the accounts, I needed filler to test the concept/see how many accounts would work.

If you want to try yourself, since I'm sure none of you want to download a random DLL from a idiot on the internet, download a copy of CheatEngine and apply this:

Select POL.EXE as the target process, set value type to 'array of bytes' and search for E8 80 2E 00 00 8B D8 E8 50 3A 00 00 3B D8 7D 39



This should only yield one result, right click the result and click disassemble this memory region. From there, go down to the first 'jnl' instruction, ~4 lines under the original line you started at. (in this picture, jnl app.dll+1A837F)



Double click the jnl instruction you're on, and replace the contents of the box with 'nop' (no quotes), it will ask you if you want to expand the NOP to 2 bytes, say yes.





If you did it correctly, it should now look like this with a double NOP instruction in its place. You should be able to go back to POL and click add member with no error message.



You're welcome.

Jebaited into giving the secret sauce. They don't DESERVE it

I don't care, it's not a secret, all I did was watch videos on how to reverse engineer/process hacking.

People who gatekeep this ***are dumb.

I'm actually quite interested in understanding how you determined the values to begin with.

You don't DESERVE it.

My god, you're right.

Zyn just flopping them sloppy style for all to see.

Gatekeeping pointless ***is the FFXI community way. How else would those people feel important?

Who cares if the project gets abandoned with no one easily able to resume it.

Were people actually gatekeeping this information? My "deserve" comment above was nothing more than a bad attempt at wry humor. Gatekeeping anything in an ancient game like this is silly.

I'm all for sharing stuff and appreciate the info, but if possible keep this thread to bragging about in game accomplishments please.

No.

Not necessarily this information, but it's a common theme with other community projects over the years. Gatekeep the code/process, lose interest, and the useful project is abandoned.

First (and probably only) group to clear all 4 original Salvage bosses before they added a chest at the start to give you unlocks without sneaking around the zone sniping stuff while 100% disabled.

Remember all those frogs that would only pop in certain situations that took people forever to figure out? You're welcome. (Ok so it was mostly Aurik & Wafik coming up with the ideas here, gotta give credit where credit is due.)

It was good times


Also got the 2nd Yagrush on Asura out of this. 1st (Amana) beat me by just 1 or 2 days... darn her!

Also cast the first Arise on Asura! Go WHM!

First NA Dynamis Lord attempt on Asura:

We had 2 and a half alliances for this. The linkshell was called "FUSE" (FU SE) and was a joint effort between the 3 biggest NA linkshells: Machina, Tribe, and CrysOfValour. He wiped the floor with us in about 45 seconds flat.

Also first on Asura to kill an animated weapon. It was Wafik's LS Manaburn (named such because we took no jobs in except BLM RDM BRD SMN, not even a tank). We killed Animated Club for Hitosi to finish his Mjollnir. He wasn't technically in the LS but he was the only one on the server with enough currency to actually need the animated weapon killed so we decided to see if we can kill it and brought him along. (Yes, the first relic completed on Asura was a club.)

First group as far as I know that killed all Reisenjima HELMs with SMN burns. People had just started doing Schah that way when we figured out you can do all 7. What followed was the only period in the game's history where I actually did mercenary work... I just loved SMN too much to pass it up.

I don't think it's the dumbest thing ever. We originally had the ability to add over 4 accounts. They took that away. If I was working on this, I'd have just left as much of the code there as I could. Product people change their mind 30 times per second. Considering they obviously had horrible source control management, this is the safest way. You don't want the product people coming back in 6 months telling you to undo the change and then the guy who originally wrote it left the company and you deleted all the code and have to figure it out from scratch again.

Kudos. I figured it was real but despaired since there wouldn't be a way to distribute a patched binary that would be trustworthy.

Their way of doing it is to not load the add new button if there is four accounts or more. The ui and backend can hold somewhere around 25 accounts.

Alright, let me swing the convo back on topic if I can:

These aren't all that humble, but this topic made me go through my screenshots and I picked a few

A better way would be for the windower team to have something that changes the instruction in memory instead. It's just signature scan + offset.

Windower does not do anything in the memory of POL just FFXI.

We have discussed adding a check box in the launcher that would apply the large address patch.

Would it be possible to support more then four logins by patching out the instruction that disables the button? I'm find with hex editing binary files but I'm pretty sure most players aren't.

yeah i added it to the list for the large address patch implementation, and that honestly makes it enticing enough to probably actually do now.

Sorry for continuing the derail kaffy :D


I was in a dyna ls when the only job i had at 75 was pup, ls was called timeless iirc. the thing i remember the most was fight over entry time slots, those were wild times, the drama when a shell would steal a time.

all good, can't see any reason for 25 accounts unless you're selling a lot of something, but maybe prices go down! if that's what ppl want give it to em

Someone could be collecting friends accounts when they quit or just using them to make free Empy weapons without going into abyssea and the glavoid login stuff etc

I have like ~15 random friends accounts over the years collected just if they asked for drops or to keep them alive for chocobo raising etc but dont bother to ever log them in since no need for me personally

This is exactly why I wanted to know. I'm disabled and play 16 hours a day. My friends can't get stuff done, so I help.
