XU Scripting... : FFXI General Discussions

Ok, yes, I have looked all over. No, I havn't found anything.

How do you actually run a script? I have spent 5 hours today trying to figure it out... And I still have no idea >.<I>.<

Questions:

Where do put the scripts? It says main Script Folder, but which one is that?

How do I actually load the scripts in game?

How do I edit the scripts?

Looked for 5 hours yet you're still asking this question. Did you happen to look without turning your computer screen on?

Judging by your other post in asl's topic:

I am lead to believe that you have installed everything correctly thus far and can at least get the game to run through xunleashed, and just need help actually starting the script? If not, heck even if SO, visit the following link:

http://www.taultunleashed.com/phpbb2/forum-641.html

Follow the instructions from the above link very carefully

Take special note of the following:

Q: I cant bring xu the XU toolbar at the bottom of the screen.
A: First make sure you do not have the following running. Fraps, nView, ATI Tray Tools, and anything else that is hooking into your game. Then do the following.
- Launch XUnleashed
- At the top of the tab, make sure it says "Configured for: (Game Name)"
- Verify the launch path, for example "C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\Everquest II\EQ2.exe" <-- without the quotes
- The following boxes are checked:
- Windowed <-- (This may or may not be needed)
- Force Redraw
- Display Logo
- Use Random FileNames
- Hook DX9

In case you still couldn't get a clue from the giant red underlined words (hey it's ok I've struggled with really stupid things before too), there is a toolbar that will pop up when you bring your mouse down to the bottom of the screen. Click the button farthest to the right (says "xu scripts") and a little blue window will pop up, there are two buttons near the top of this little blue window. These buttons scroll through your available scripts. When you find the one you want, you click the big grey button that says
START and watch it work.

Pay close attention to this one, and also where asl talks about winrar, and how to dload/extract/save scripts:

q) How do I run a script in FFXI when I've launched it?
a) Press ctrl+ins+3 and a little dialog should appear. Select the script you want to run then click start.


If you're STILL having problems then you're going to have to let me know what you're doing, or where EXACTLY you have problems so I can isolate what you need to do.

How do I edit the scripts?

When you downloaded and installed xunleashed you extracted all your files into one spot (hopefully a folder called "xunleashed") that thing that started out looking like a stack of books became a buncha different things (including the .exe program that starts xunleashed) also, another thing that was extracted were multiple folders, these folders each came with a name, and the one you want is called "Scripts" (aka: main Script Folder) Here is the folder you download and extract your scripts into... read this:

q) How do I install XUnleashed.
a) Download XUnleashed then run the exe from where you want to install it, for example if you run the program from "c:\program files\XUnleashed" the program will be installed there. Link to download:
http://www.xunleashed.com/dload.php?act ... &file_id=3

q) How do I open the XUFish file?
a) Download WinRAR from http://www.rarsoft.com It's trialware that doesn't expire and about 55 gazillion times better than both WinZip and the WindowsXP default zip handling.

q) How do I install XUFish?
a) Extract the XUFish rar file to your XUnleashed script folder. Aka, if you installed on the path above extract it to "c:\program files\XUnleashed\Scripts", also make sure you preserve the rar files folder structure. Once extracted there should be a few new files directly in your script folder (for example fisher_basic.vbs) and a folder named xufish.

q) I have never used a computer and don't understand how to extract the xufish rarfile, hepl me plzor?!?!?!
a) Move the rar file to your XUnleashed scripts folder.
Right click the file.
Click "Extract here". (if you have cascaded menus click winrar then extract here)
Move all files and folders in the created xufish_rel_v_3_2 folder into the Scripts folder.

To load the scripts in game follow my above instructions, as well as the instructions from both links I've given you, since they all contain that information.

As for editing, I highly recommend you don't do it. Unless you become a little more knowledgeable in scripting, or at least learn how to get it to work first.

But if you want, check out this link:

Thank you soooo much..... And yes, I have been able to use XUnleashed for probably.... sicne I got this account. That was no problem.... I didn't like the windowed mode from XUnleashed, so I had it hook into Azaril's Windower.... Game runs fine and everything... I'll try what you said to do later. Thanks a lot though. And I don't know much about scripting.... I only know bits of Java, C++, and HTML...

No problemo, sorry if I sounded a little sarcastic last night when I wrote all that, I was tired and in a not-so-good mood.

Glad I could help, now that you know how to start and run the script, any errors or problems you run in with the script itself you will have to direct your inquiries to the scripts main forum and author. Please make sure you follow their instructions as to what to include with problem posts.

This is always a great guide to go by no matter WHAT you're doing concerning Xunleashed:

But pay close attention to:

asl18fs wrote:!!!!!!!!!IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!
When writing bug reports you SHOULD ALWAYS include:
1) Operating system and patch level.
2) Processor type. Did you set cpu affinity?
3) If you have antivirus software intalled and what kind.
4) Version number on the FFXIService.
5) Version number on XUFish.
6) Supply a copy of the code YOU have changed, no matter how trivial.
7) Supply a copy of XUnleashedLog.txt, attach the txt file to the post.
Supply a copy of xufish_logfile.txt, attach the txt file to the post.
9) Step to reproduce the error, make them as detailed as possible!!!

I've also decided to create a guide on how to use Xunleashed with pictures and easy to read information and explanations for the more not-so-advanced users on this site, I just need to find the time now to do it. I'll post a link when I'm finished

Yeah... That stupid Bar doesn't want to pop up and I disabled all that crap >.>

Except for Azaril's windower.... Which is being hooked into my XU

Just cuz I'm retarded when it comes to scripting... I'm going to be reading that guide a lot >.>

lol

I think its cuz I'm retarded and my computer is retardophobic or something..... lol

Its so tempting to just take my computer right now and smash it......

This good or bad?

Still no XU Toolbar popping up.... And for some reason... My XU menu is all screwed up and doesn't look anything like the one posted in that topic >.>

Stop hooking into azs windower, it messes with things.

That explains a lot...... But I use TParty and the FPS thingy...... I guess I can use Azaril's for normal, and XU for fishing XD

think hooking windower is messing up running scripts?
