Why no GLogitech® GamePanel™ LCD Technology support?

[Yellow Mage]

yes, except SE seems to think that anything that enhances FFXI and improves on it's faults is cheating.

Well, to be fair, since stuff like that doesn't come from S-E themselves, then there's the potential that not every person playing the game will have access to such tools, thus making the game unfair to them if they are still using a so-called "faulty" interface as opposed to somebody's homebrewed "fixed" one.

Also, PS2 and 360.

Biggest problem with FFXI tbh.


All for setting up a mod API that works across all consoles?

I for one think it would be awesome. What is this chronograph plugin you're talking about, Tsrwedge?

As reply to "They would need to make this for every system"
The PS2 and Xbox360 support is not an issue. This is obviously for PC users only, as consoles use controllers. And even if PS2 and Xbox360 are able to do this, it wouldn't be hard to make either, unless the Logitech Keyboard or the Console's aren't able to do so. That's not SE problem then though.

As reply to "What would you need to put on it?"
Well how about /tell or pary invite notifiers? Or just other fun stuff. There's a lot you can do. A lot of games that support this also run and play fine without this specific keyboard. It's just for fun either way... but that's what games are all about anyway!

[Tsrwedge]

It is in the software that accompanied the keyboard. In the LCD Control Panel, it's under "Logitech G-series LCD Countdown Timer". Config page is shown below.

Ah, that. I should've known. I was hoping for an actual FFXI plugin.
I'm sure everyone can imagine that feeling, when you're logging into Final Fantasy, and your Keyboard LCD displays " Final Fantasy XI "
That's a little bit of happiness right there :P

Ps. That Haste timer of yours, isn't that unhandy if you have more than 1 person in your party that needs Haste?

[Tsrwedge]

No, cos it marks the first haste in the cycle. If I'm /blm, I know the second one needs to go off at about 2:12-2:10, or if I'm /sch I know it ought to be 2:15-2:12, and so on.
