Re: Toon Shading

DL the zip file and unzip it into your Final Fantasy XI folder. your probobly gonna have to change some things in the "FFHook" Config settings. make sure everything reads as this

PolRegKey = SOFTWARE\PlayOnlineUS\InstallFolder
# for US client(?)
#PolRegKey = SOFTWARE\PlayOnlineUS\InstallFolder
PolRegValue = 1000

FFRegKey = SOFTWARE\PlayOnlineUS\SQUARE\FinalFantasyXI
FFWindowXValue = 0002
FFWindowYValue = 0003

You have to addthe US part im pretty sure



As for getting into the game, POL will work fine. Once you start the game up though it might be awhite screen. i fixed that by going to the FFXI congfig tool and putting it back onto the default settings for everything. i logged back in and everything worked.

Re: Toon Shading

looks like they just put a stroke on the models...isn't toon at all until they vector it fully.

Re: Toon Shading

It really doesn't look that impressive. Pixel cell shading looks a lot different, not just a black outline and a few more shadows.

Re: Toon Shading

Thank you for the compliments on my sig. Yes, I did the work, but Im new at it, so I dont take requests yet.

Also, thank you Eriatarka for the windower link. Problem is though, I STILL cant get it to work. I started off by dl'n the zip file and unzipping it in the FFXI folder as mentioned. I then changed what needed to be changed in the FFHOOK config. At this point, I click on the windower. This message pops up:

pol.exe - Unable To Locate Component
~~This application has failed to start because MADCHOOK.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. [OK]

This confuses me because Im looking right at the file. Its right there...in the same folder. Where should I put it so it will be located?

I click 'Ok' and even though the message says "application has failed to start", after clicking 'Ok', POL starts. More confussion.

I continue and log in, just to see what happens. I click on the 'shortcut' just as you would do in the english windower. FFXI boots up and it isnt windowed.

I dont know, but maybe someone could help me here, but I cant try again until 6pm est, if all goes well with the update (Dec. 12th). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Toon Shading

Go to the .ini file, and change the regkey to US (look a few posts above). That will solve that problem

Re: Toon Shading

Re: Toon Shading

I found out the problem.... and I feel ashamed for not knowing better.

Once you unzip the file, you will get a folder (most likely in japanese). That folder adds to the path. You cannot have that folder in the path (I knew better....). You only need what's inside of it. Take those files out of that folder and put them in the FFXI folder, change the regkey to US as mentioned above, and it should work without getting the error message.

I have yet to test it in-game because of the update. I post again if there are anymore problems.

Re: Toon Shading

Take those files out of that folder and put them in the FFXI folder,.

Which files exactly?

[The Don]

Re: Toon Shading

Which files exactly?

All of them. This is the easy way:

Unzip the file to your desktop. Once you unzip the file, you will have the "FFWindowerënÄa" folder. Now, in a seperate window, open up your FFXI folder; wherever you have it saved on your computer. With the FFXI folder open, switch back to the "FFWindowerënÄa" folder, select ALL the items in that folder (yes, all of them) and drag them over to the FFXI folder. Now, change your regkey in the .ini file to US as shown above.

Once you start the windower (FFHookLauncher), you shouldnt get anymore error messages. This is all in good faith that the windower will actually work. I have to wait until after the update to see if it works.
