Possibility to open FFXIV up to a moddable UI?

[Kallera]

Agreed-------

On the plus side, think of all the FFXIV rage/freakout vids it could create!

As they say, any publicity is good publicity.

I would like a mod that let me take screenshots during cutscenes without the ui visible (and without the SE copywrite message!) that would be a useful mod.

Aye, the ones that came up after the initial launch really brought in all the players.

An SE made Mod for Video capture! GO

UI Mods would be a welcome addition. I just wonder how many features can be packed safely into UI mods.

[Reika]

Video Capture mod (Yes, Please.)

This sounds like the justification the 24-7 bots use on Bodhum. We have folks with all level 50 crafts on our server already. Its not physically possible.

Im talking about mods that help players, not doing things instead of them lol ...

We checked in with the dev. team about their plans for custom user interfaces and we received confirmation from Yoshida that there are plans in place for supporting UI mods in the future.

YAY!! That is great news.

I tried to photoshop an UI and how i would like to see it.

(Blue squares are a tooltip).


upper left, your class, your exp bar, what you got on main hands, if a bow equiped, what ammo you're wearing, then some Arrows you are carrying in your bag, (different color meaning different ammo type), could have put how many arrow left on different type.
Bag inventory, gils on you (probably add guildmarks and stuff like that). upper right the buff/debuff on you.
Down right, target mode (ALL), minimap (square) with the R/S button that can change to orange/red depending on your traffic connection, with a tooltip that show the exact R/S. Took the buttons skin from Steam Buttonfacade (wowinterface), but any skin could be fine, that will show all the bar (and then their recast).

this is a minimalistic try, i didn't add my own bar or enemy bar or stuff like that.


My guess, it could be a great idea to let player design their own Unit Interface, without giving access to real "mods" (SE can probably easily grant access or not to thoses functions).

I dont think people can cheat with thoses things allowed, anyway, not allowing a mod and an ls asking you to use it, it's like asking you to use a claim bot to join an HNM ls (and some of FFXI linkshell ask that badly...).

(sorry for my bad english).

Do not use?

Do not take advantages through UI mods while I'm not using it.
