FFXI-Boot Mod w/ working DNS names and hairpinning!
Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2013 9:26 am
---- THIS TOOL IS NOW DEPRECATED ----
Please see here for the currently supported boot loader!
This was designed for use with Ashita, but it could be helpful to some other people so I am releasing it separately from the Ashita package as well. The hairpinning hack now uses a signature scanner, so it should be more resilient to updates! Huge thanks to atom0s for adding this!
It fixes several bugs from the original FFXI-Boot and takes options on the command-line instead of loading from an ini file. It also provides properly translated DNS names for search and auction house use so you can now use a DNS name instead of an IP without issues!
In case you have any problems with the default vc11 build, there is a vc10 build provided as well.
Download it from: See attachment.
For users of the 1a version, READ THE README! The command-line options have changed. Oh, and this version is a lot more stable and doesn't use any dirty hacks to get parameters to work.
UPDATE: Version 3 is now out and features support for EU client versions, as well as a fix for the character creation bug. This is more or less a rewrite so while the options have stayed the same, the overall usage has changed. There is also a new option that is required for users of versions other than the US version. --lang EU for the European version or --lang JP for the Japanese version.
