RaidsRewritten

Plugin for XIVLauncher/Dalamud

This plugin augments existing raids with custom mechanics just for fun.

Available fights

• UCOB Rewritten
• ??? (in time stasis development)

What's happening?

RaidsRewritten is (currently) entirely executed client-side. It hooks fight events to spawn fake attack VFX objects, then runs custom hit-detection checks to determine if the local player was hit by a fake attack. If so, this plugin overrides player controls to simulate the effects of a stun, knockback, etc. If multiple players are running the plugin, mechanic variations between all players are synced via using a fixed RNG seed.

⚠️ To be clear, RaidsRewritten does not change anything about the original fight, it only adds fake mechanics on top of it. Nothing sent to and from official Square Enix game servers are modified, and overridden player controls are only capable of performing what a player is normally able to perform (ex. a fake knockback is just forced movement in the knockback direction). ⚠️

Why is there a server folder then?
