Possibility to open FFXIV up to a moddable UI?

[Elexia]

Oh my, totally forgot that. I stand corrected. Unless of course that is indeed what they meant.. ;o

Sorry, just a little annoyed by most of the replies on here. Omg custom UI the sky is gonna fall.

Generally because a lot of people, especially casual gamers, dislike having to use "standard" mods and hacks in order to enjoy their video game. You can say "don't use it", but the general supporters will say "you don't have to use it but don't expect to be accepted into raids."

FFXIV UI is made in Silverlight and interfaces with Crystal Tools engine through LUA compiled scripts.

It's already completely moddable but.... fight club.

I would love to have an UI Mod that just displays all action bars at once ^^.

First off, its EULA.

Secondly, stupid post is stupid.

I seriously feel like this community is just against change and progress. Whatever makes this game seem like something that came out recently as opposed to something that came out back in 2002 you guys are against.

It's not about Progress...not even in the slightest.

Mods like Bartender, Fubar or w/e made browsing your inventory and using abilities in WoW a lot easier. It is the possibilities of all kidns of mods that makes it less appealing, because it can pretty much destroy the whole purpose of some stuff.

Just consider WoW here...when Blizzard is developing new raid instances now, they already develop them with the thought in the back of their minds, that stuff like Boss Mods etc are being used.

I'm sorry...as far as I'm welcoming modded UIs for easier navigation and stuff...I am completely against stuff that "tells you what to do and when to do it" like Boss Mods etc. Would you like to know that you have to stun the mob in 3 seconds, cause the script tells you that he will use "so and so" ability in 3 seconds that needs to be stunned?

This has nothing to do with progress or "modern" UIs...this is just taking away your own effort and turns it into a trivial task.

People who are against modded UIs are not against the positive stuff that comes with, they are against the negative stuff that comes with it, which outweighs the positive easily IMO. If modded UIs come(which requires SE to make the code public) it's free for use for whatever mod you have in my mind and it WILL end up in stuff like Boss Mods or similiar things, and no matter how much I'd like an optimized UI, I'd rather pass on it if it means things like boss mods will come as well.

Mods are usually made by players for players, most of these make our lives much easier. If u want them u use them, otherwise not. Every person have its own tastes and would like to make this game look/work like they would like to.

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.

I don't mind skins, but I'm not very favourable towards mods. Particularly any kind that play the game for you on any level. I wouldn't want a skin to do anything but allow me to do what I can already do - but with less clicks.
