Do you guys need Fullscreen Windowed?

[Reztic]

Hope this is the right section, because its my first post and I am a bit nervous.

Seems that everyone want to play this game Windowed, but at the same time fullscreen and without the Borders. Kinda like how World of Warcraft has that fullscreen windowed option. This also allows you to play a simulate fullscreen but still allow you to alt-tab.

OK, let me say that I am not the best C# programer, I am mainly do Java and C. In a nutshell, this basically removes the window style from the application, which are the borders and shadows of the FF14 window. Then moves the window to the upper corner to simulate a fullscreen(actually, this is customizable). Remember your game is running in Window mode, so crossfire or sli might not work. This does not modify anything game data. All it does is tells the Windows Operating system to remove the border and shadows.

Here some pictures, just in case you don't believe me. Images might be big since my screens are dual 1080p

Before I move on, I was hoping if tell me if this is against the FF14 User Agreement, if not then I have no problem releasing it along with source code. If there is something out there does this already, please let me know.

right section but against the user agreement

but you can do it at fansite forums. so many people want this

It, most likely will be against the TOS due to categorizing, but obviously it would not do anything malicious. There has been lots of programs that perform the same thing that all got C&D (well not all but most). I think a lot of those though were because of future plans to in-cooperate plugin/scripting which is then poking at the TOS a bit more.

In my opinion it should be allowed for peeps to publish their software because lets face it those who want windowed/boredless already do it anyway, the only issue they can be tasking a risk with the application/script they use, even using yours they are taking a risk its not some keygen as such and devs cannot go around approving peoples application.

Let 1 person be approved, have to let everyone.

Thanks for the reply. Too bad it's against TOS

Well I was planning to release the source code also so people can compile the program themselves.

Doesn't give you an unfair advantage or endanger "company secrets" so I don't think SE would care as much as people think. Besides the part altered is most likely not SE code but Microsoft code as it is in the Windows framework. Stuff like enabling LAA should also be legit as the PE header belongs to Microsoft too :P

Just use AutoHotKey, it manipulates Windows only (removes borders and repositions the window) and therefore isn't against TOS. The only issue is that you're going to take a hit to FPS.

I use that too.
Works pretty good.

I don't see them banning people for these kind of things, but oh well, shit happens

[Kailea_Nagisa]

it does not modify the game, there for is not against the TOS, it is only interacting with windows.

Please continue your work.
