The "bribe" was there before- either thesyndicate has simply re-posted after getting the lock down, or opinions have changed such that the administrators have decided to not lock him down. I will be quiet however, because the evident lack of a lock down probably means that they want this thread to be full of relevant discussion and not idle blabbing.

I bought this program and i tell ya what. Its fu*cking awesome. It really does make everything look so much better. And if you have a really high end pc the High quality setting is just unreal. You have to at least try this b4 you knock it. People wouldn't buy it if it was crap.

Now I'm not a lawyer, but I think one should be consulted.

I'm still curious if your app falls under section 2-4 of the FFXI licence agreement (pulling out relevant parts):

2-4. Restrictions.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you may not:
(a) modify, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Licenced Software; (f) use the Licenced Software to provide service bureau or time-sharing services, or for any other commercial purpose.

I don't know if anyone else has widescreen but I tried this program and it totally killed my graphics on FFXI. They do not look so bad normally but with the program it looks just aweful. I am sure it is most likely because of the widescreen. Note: I do have my FFXI set to play in widescreen.

Yes, do some research on the installer/protection he is using. He admits it...

There is info posted about this in the old post :)

Here it is (copy and paste):
Quote:

By: Ceryx
But alas, a fool and his money are soon parted. A vocal few may arise to discredit the charlatan and attempt to drive him out of the village, though they may find it harder than they may have previously believed--the combined weight of Ignorance surely topples the meager offering of Logic.

And thus, the commoners paid for the labor to be done for them, never minding that odd keystroke logger cleverly disguised as "Live Update" or "Serial Key protection" (Making sure you aren't a thief).

In addition (edit): irsetup.exe has variants as spyware to run ad pop-ups on your machine.

Usually it will store itself in C:\Documents and Settings\%user%\Local Settings\Temp\irsetup.exe

That is where you will find the file residing. You will also usually find two processes running (Hit CTRL-ALT-DEL and check your process list). Now, it could be a legitimate variant of the IndigoRose Setup program, but then why would it be running hidden processes in the background?

Go do a search on google.com for "irsetup.exe" and you make your own decision why this is included in this "software" (and I say that term loosely) package.


And:
Quote:

good research. irsetup is a variant of indigo rose setup factory. which is the software used to create installers. and the installer created contains .dat files that have been imported and created using a visual programming language. yes, tis true.


Here is google:

it's a shame that such a topic is allowed to exist on this forum.... for commercial purposes......


also, this so called program is what we call a "vaporware"


thesyndicate is selling registry enhancement & minor optimizations for real money which is against the FFXI EULA and against allakhazam guidelines

on the previous topic every attempt to get info from thesyndicate ended in "in just works, too complicated for you I can't explain"

that can't be serious


again here is a link I posted on the previous thread, with registry optimisation enabling supersampling FSAA & performance tweaks..... for free (as it should be to begin with....)

this tweak changes the render resolution, not the overlay one

you could run a render resolution of 2048x2048 and an overlay resolution of 1024x768

rendering the picture at an higher resolution than the overlay is what results in supersampling FSAA, you'll get a really better picture

just be aware than 2048x2048 need a really fast machine & GPU, this setting is just too choppy for me

you can try lower settings (such as 1512x1512 or 1280x1280) and see what is working best for you

No, because 2024 is not a power of 2.

You could, however, set it to 2048x2048.

(Also: 1512?! 1536, maybe, if your graphics card supports weird values [it's 3x512, so possibly on some cards, but it's not standard]. Caught that in your post, Ash.)

you're so right, I deserve to be eternally tortured, naked, in a dungeon -_-

so everyone, sorry for the big mistake, anyway to clarify, here are the usable resolutions for the engine rendering :

2048x2048
1792x1792
1536x1536
1280x1280
1024x1024
768x768

your card don't need to support anything, this resolution is only the resolution in which the engine is going to render the graphics

the actual resolution displayed by the monitor is set by the overlay setting (in which you setup more regular resolutions)

i wish everyone would leave this guy alone. i'm sure ffxiee took him quite some time to develop, and the pay version is a recent thing. it was free for a long time before that.

not once did i have any popups occur on my PC.

he put time and energy into a product that he can now make a buck on. i think its a great idea (and im a lil jealous that i didnt think of it first ^^;).

kudos thesyndicate, and i look forward to your future projects!

i have actually purchased this tweak and this is what i have to say:

Usually i tweak games myself by messing with the registry and so forth, although i do this, i don't like to. sometimes i end up messing things up and have to reinstall the game. this tweak in my own opinion is a GREAT thing for people like me and for the ones who don't even know what registry is. especially the pro version that will be comming out. to be able to simply the tweak this game by using traditional drop down menus and radio buttons is just an awesome thought. I play final fantasy xi with two different computers and two different accounts. I play my main account on my desktop which has a pentium 4 prescott cpu running at 3.2ghz, and a ati x800 pro. i constantly run my second account on my laptop which has a athlon 1800+ cpu and this crappy integrated video card called radeon igp. after using version 1.6 for both computers, i noticed that on my desktop i end up looking at various things in the game and say "ohhh, thats purty...", and on my laptop i can now actually party without thinking my FFXI screenshot screensaver is on :p.

Heres what i would like to see in the pro version when it comes out:
1) The ability to extend the maximum clipping distance of the games environment. (who agrees with me?)
2) Increase the number of players visible at once.
3) Use some features of direct x 9

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! i know that no way in hell square will be happy with those tweaks, but those 3 tweaks sure would prevent me from saying "retro" to ffxi's graphics after playing a good round in doom 3.

well anyway...

when will the pro version be avail?

nobody said a frontend to tweak FFXI is not welcome

what I'm saying is that charging for such a program is evil and probably illegal as well

edit : the changes you are asking for will never come out

thesyndicate is tweaking the engine with minor (and well known) optimisations, not rewriting it

The FSAA tweak can be done by hand by editing the registry, you don't need to buy this thing for that. All the stuff about "improving performance" is just a combination of generic tweaks off the internet and bunk (it'w quite obvious this guy knows nothing about D3D internals)

If you buy this you are at the very least getting ripped off, at worst you may be installing a keylogger that emails your FFXI passwords to somone.


Also, this thread was locked for a reason, hopefully the admins will ban his ass this time around.

Not quite correct, you can actually use any value that it divisable by 2. I run the game in 1024x768 for both background and forground. Gives better performance than the default 1024x1024/1024/768 and looks exactly the same. In 1024x1024/1024x768 there is a bit of FSAA in the verticle direction, but you can't even see it unless you specificly look for it and it's not worth a performance hit from rendeing in a slightly higher resolution and rescaling the screen to the display resolution. Better to just set the rendering resolution and display resolution exactly the same for maximum performance in this case. Also, if you have a marginal PC you may want to try 640x480/640x480 instead of the default 512x512/640x480. It runs slightly faster and looks much better.

How many sock puppets do you have thesyndicate? The reply above me is a sock puppet.
tehsyndicate, Posted: Aug 14th 2004 3:33pm, Score: Sub-Default, [expand] hey just got to tell you.. . your accusations of having sock puppets are incorrect. ask any of the admins if you want. they can verify it. thanks. you can believe what you want about this software but it does what others say it does. it works. btw, if you compare my software to the registry tweaks the tweaks come out very laggy. so whatever to you and enjoy to the people who aren't being ignorant.

Tell you what im just doing what everyone wanted here proof that the app is legit and works if you dont like it just stay out of this thread damn you people want references of people using the app then you dis it when we try to tell you about it! Anyways I tried to help you out Tsunami by telling people that I have tested your app out but im not gonna sit here and argue with these people over it! Its well worth the money use it or dont. I'm glad to be aboard take care.

still arguing about this program? geez, isnt it enough that the admins say its ok? yet you guys just underrate anyone who likes and uses the program.....
cmon kids, theres no spyware, both adaware and systemmechanic spyware have found nothing, there are no processes running that you say there is, so why continue with bad mouthing it over things you quite obviously dont understand...

i had no problem spending money on this, and alot of others dont either, if you dont, simple, dont spend the money.... stop trying to force your warped sense of right/wrong on everyone else....

I see someone has started a graphics and performance post.. I actually tried your suggestions and compared it to FFXI Element Enhancement's results. Graphics came out "okay.." but the performance and lag was rediculous on higher resolutions. I do recommend FFXI Element Enhancement over any of the registry tweaks I have seen floating around the net. but don't take it from me.. ask tsunami creations - ffxi element enhancement users!

as you can see this is mainly irsetup installer files and new mouse pointers, there is no change in directX files


Registry changes

with FFXIEE 'recommended' settings

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PlayOnlineUS\SquareEnix\FinalFantasyXI]
"0000"=dword:00000003
"0001"=dword:00000400
"0002"=dword:00000300
"0003"=dword:00000500
"0004"=dword:00000500
"0007"=dword:00000001
"0011"=dword:00000000
"0017"=dword:00000000
"0018"=dword:00000000
"0019"=dword:00000000
"0020"=dword:00000001
"0021"=dword:00000001
"0022"=dword:00000000
"0023"=dword:00000001
"0024"=dword:00000000
"0028"=dword:00000000
"0029"=dword:0000000c
"0030"=dword:00000000
"0031"=dword:3bc49ba6

what it does :

- set the mipmapping setting to 3
- set the overlay resolution to 1024 x 768
- set the rendering resolution to 1280 x 1280
- enable sound
- enable simplified character models
- set maximum sound effects to 12
- disable bump mapping
- enable high texture compression
- set uncompressed on screen maps
- set hardware mouse pointer
- disable opening movie
- set gamma base to 0

- changes 020 & 031 keys values, I don't know what these keys are doing



with FFXIEE 'performance' setting


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PlayOnlineUS\SquareEnix\FinalFantasyXI]
"0000"=dword:00000000
"0001"=dword:00000320
"0002"=dword:00000258
"0003"=dword:00000300
"0004"=dword:00000300
"0029"=dword:00000006

what it does : (in addition to the above)

- set the mipmapping setting to 0 (off)
- set the overlay resolution to 800 x 600
- set the rendering resolution to 768 x 768
- set maximum sound effects to 6


and ..... THAT'S ALL !!!!

Now I hope everyone will understand why you can live without this program, thesyndicate is only using well known registry tweaks

Ok this was tested with the free version, I don't want to buy the evil commercial version for this testing (unless thesyndicate is willing to give me a free serial number for my tests.... cmon....
if you have nothing to hide.... lol)


The good news : no spyware detected


again here is the link to my thread where you can find how to setup the same tweaks (and more !) yourself and for free :


http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/forum.html?forum=10&mid=1092217004356138177&num=13

edit : added some reg keys effect

Wow! Just wow!

Something that I had requested from the first thread finally shows up, and it's not from the developer himself.

As I long suspected, the app just make registry changes and replaced mouse cursors. Realizing that this prog is a complete ripoff, syndicate just decided to play dumb and not say what it did or changed, in fact there were blantant lies about the Direct X modifications.

What an embarassment.

it's hardly a embarassment considering it applies registry tweaks.

Considering this isn't way everyone wants to do, this product is decent.

Arguing about people not wanting to make their own changes to registry settings is like telling someone to build their own computer, when they have no desire to.

nobody said a frontend to tweak FFXI is not welcome

what I'm saying is that charging for such a program is evil and probably illegal as well
