What’s been going on and what’s next

So past few weeks I’ve been focusing on horizon

Getting theif geared and lvling jobs for maats cap

Having a great time on horizon

Posting all my exp parties on YouTube and that’s doing great

As far as the all in one goes

I brainstorm new ideas daily

I find things that got broken from updates and put them on the to do list

Haven’t been writing code much but I have tested a few new features I’d like to add

Don’t think I forgot or gave up about the all in one. I worked hard on it for about 6 months or so I’m just focusing on other things while compiling a list for when I get back to it

Supervision, something I don’t talk about much here 

I got in trouble back in 2023 and I’m still dealing with it

There’s 3 outcomes right now

1 I get 3 month early termination and I have 74 days left

2 I get 1 month early termination and I have 140 days left

Or 3 I’m denied early termination meaning I have to do full term which will end in 170 days

Early termination would be amazing but I’ve been expecting full term the entire time

What this means for us as far as the all in one and my ffxi content goes

I like smoking and I like drinking

I feel like writing code and playing 11 is better not to mention all the other stuff that is also better

It’s hard to predict the exact outcome

What I’m expecting and hoping for

Is after this 74-170 days I start smoking and drinking again. Mind you it’ll have been 2 years since I smoked and 5 years since I drank

I’d love to get off termination and smoke and drink and get directly to creating content and working on the all in one

Which very well could happen.. or it could be 2-4 weeks until I build a tolerance where I can be faded and work on my content 

100% though for a fact my stuff will continue it may be a month longer until things really start getting done

But getting there has been the goal for years

Next 170 days is primarily focusing on horizon with light testing and trials to aio

14-30 days after that 170 it’s going to be finding my balance again

Eventually after those 2 steps I’m expecting a major boom in content and work on the aio

Update on the api situation 

It doesn’t look good

I did get my hands on the api thanks to one of my testers

But as far as a public release.. who knows..

My discounted Gemini ran out and I don’t want to pay $30 a month without a plan

I could buy the discount on another google account which would work

I would have to show Gemini my entire project and that could take some time

Writing code completely sober was fine when I enthralled in the process

It’s a lot of critical thinking and some testing is exhausting 

With the primary focus of making days fly

It kinda slows the time down and I smoke a lot more cigs when I write

Which is bad for me and expensive 

Planning on quitting cigs as soon as I get off probation they were just a crutch to not smoke or drink

When I finally can smoke and drink and I want the days to not fly and be as long as possible

I’ll be in a much better spot to actually write code

The writing and problem solving and discovering process will be much more exhilarating and enjoyable 

So that’s where we stand right now

Program will likely get a few fixes in the 170 days left

But really keep an eye out for around the end of April or may for the program to really evolve 

PS2 FFXI Emulation(PCSX2)

Fun little project for today

So many ps2 builds been coming out recently. Finally got one that worked.

About a week ago I tried to get the crystal server installed for about 12 hours straight with no luck.

This one, "FFXI PS2 NO Play Online test build." took about 6 hours to get fully working with the set up(Which did not work as intended) and the final fantasy install

The app that comes with it for the most part none of the install actually worked

I had to do nearly everything in powershell terminal

I had to add each sql to the database manually

I had to rename several parts of 1 of the files

Eventually it all worked

Server files:

https://github.com/HAB3X/ffxi-2016-ps2/releases/tag/v1.2

Game disc .iso this server requires(need to be signed in):

PCSX2 and ps2 bios easy to find with a simple google. Plenty of bios downloads out there.

Reminder

Friendly reminder

The most recent retail update broke the retail version of EliteApi.dll

EliteApi.dll is the file that All in One uses to read and write to FFXI's memory

Atom0s is the developer of EliteApi.dll

He has a fixed version of the api but currently the only way to get it is to donate to him

He has said multiple times this is because it is in a beta test and he is going to release it for free like he always has in the past

He has also mentioned he recently had a death in his family which resulted in him needing to step away to do real life things

Another thing mentioned is Phoenix private server support may be in the works.

I check his discord server multiple times a day for the file to get uploaded, and as soon as I can get that file I will be making a post here saying the all in one is good to go and be used on retail again

Hopefully Phoenix soon after that

While I would love to donate to obtain the new version of the api; I don't think he would appreciate me slapping it in my all in one and releasing publicly before he does.

What can you do if you really want to use the all in one on retail?
Nothing is stopping you from donating to Atom0s, grabbing that api.dll, replacing the retail eliteapi.dll inside the libs folder of the most recent all in one download,  you should be able to use the all in one on retail at that point.

5$ is the minimum donation to get that api

What if I don't want to spend money on the api?

Just wait like me and numerous other people. He will release it eventually.

OnEvent blu spell learning

Just wanted to put an idea out there for blue mages learning magic

All in One users can type the name of the spell in the trigger phrase input

and a <call> in the action input

When the mob uses the tp move you'll get notified by a party <call>

Allowing you to not pay attention to FFXI and focus on other things you'd like to do

sub brd for paeon and easily learn spells without needing to focus on the monotonous task of turning your back and waiting for the tp move

Could even set an OnEvent trigger to recast paeon after it wears!

Allinone Fixed download link

This has the bug where private servers were not attaching properly fixed

Key: lPZ95x1ByBcLiuwEUOfXilHOZIBe4JnVwfrUc_U0myA

Link: https://mega.nz/file/TPxTEaaS

Issue was when switching to the new build that allowed selecting your api in the program

some of the old code got left behind and it wasn't all linked properly

resulting in when trying to attach to process elitemmo.api.dll was not starting as it should

this version should fix that

Auto update is pushed

My Coding Journey

As a young boy I was always interested in computers, the idea of code even though I had no idea what it really meant, video games, the ability to read/write video games data with a .exe always intrigued me...

Upbeat's graphics settings

I tried Reshade couldn't find a way to minimize the setting window

I've used Dgvoodoo for years at this point

My computer is a AMD Ryzen AMD Radeon and it has a graphic setting window/application called AMD software: Adrenaline Edition or AMD Software

Upbeat's HorizonXI Fishing Guide

Since this post has received so many views I’ve decided to update it a little. All updated text will be this color blue.

This is going to be a quick explanation of the path I took to level fishing.

Currently I am 72.6 and i've got 0 to 72.6 in less than 2 weeks.

Reading many other horizonXI fishing guides gave me ideas but I did disagree with a lot of the suggestions.

Lets get right into it.
