OK, in essence, what it does is keep spamming the "numpad 0" button over and over forever on end. With this, you'll be able to hammer the login server for hours if need be. Usage is simple: press CTRL+Z to enable the script, CTRL+Z again disables it.
The best part is that it sends the key event directly to the FF14 window, meaning it'll keep sending keystrokes there even if you're alt+tabbed running another game or browsing the forums...
This is the script source code. You'll need the AUTOHOTKEY software to run it:
http://www.autohotkey.com
After installing, create a blank file called something.ahk (or whatever name you want to call it, with the AHK extension). Open it up on notepad or something and paste the following code:
Now, if you don't want to go through all the hassle, I compiled an executable version of the script as an EXE file. just run it, it'll put an icon in your taskbar and you're good to go:Code:#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
flKeepLooping := 0
Loop {
if (flKeepLooping = 1) {
ControlSend, , {Numpad0}, ahk_class FFXIVGAME
Sleep 500
}
}
^z::
if flKeepLooping = 1
flKeepLooping = 0
else
flKeepLooping = 1
return

I don't usually download random software from some game forum...
But when I do, I make sure its an executable I know nothing about that wants admin privileges. -

Oooo... nice... a macro to DDoS the servers. Lovely.

09-03-2013, 05:52 AMAlexSkylarkThat's why I open-sourced the script...Quote:

09-03-2013, 05:56 AMAmerothmeh. I was trolling. I'm on ps3 anyway. no real work around for me. instead, I just went camping for the weekend. more people should try that. don't have to fuss about login issues, and I get to enjoy nature.Quote:

Automatically trying to log in, while your not even there?
Exactly the problem.
Instead, Don't.
I didn't see a macro system in game, so they are not officially supported... you might be getting yourself in trouble there in the long run you could even get yourself banned for such a simple, stupid, thing.
Is it really worth the effort? Ruin your chances of playing, just because your lazy? -
09-03-2013, 06:27 AMwingofbenubecause its totally "lazy" to not want to press numpad zero rapidfire for 3 hours straight while begging a queue to show up.Quote:
