A custom built launcher for FFXIV written in Javascript on Nodejs via Electron. Needs a lot of love to make it look good and be useful
This is a Javascript implementation of: https://github.com/goaaats/FFXIVQuickLauncher
Note: DO NOT run npm commands in this project, it will install different versions of packages and break stuff.
- Styles:
src/css/**.scss - Javascript:
src/js/**.js - HTML:
public/index.html
For images, you must host them somewhere, eg Github, Imgur or I can put them on XIVAPI.com
git clone '[email protected]:xivapi/ffxiv-launcher.git' # Clone the repo!
cd ffxiv-launcher
yarn install # Snag the dependencies!
yarn start # Build and run it locally in dev mode!Electron is basically a chrome browser without a head (no address bar, buttons etc).
You can do modifications to the html, css or js and reload the app via: CTRL+SHIFT+R.
Make sure your IDE is set to: EMCAScript 6
(If you need SASS installed: yarn add sass-loader node-sass --dev)
yarn buildoryarn build-devoryarn build-dev --watch
yarn dist- This also compiles the CSS and builds the electron app installer.
This will build the installer to: /dist/FFXIV-Launcher Setup <version>.exe which you can share and install.
Open with CTRL+Shift+I
- Save expansion per character rather than app wide
- Add an "Auto-Login" option, if character has OTP it will just auto-prompt, if game is already running it won't auto-login (assumes you're selecting another character)
- Re-write the settings system to split Default Settings and User Settings, simplify it all
- Add maintenance check (parse: http://frontier.ffxiv.com/worldStatus/gate_status.json)
- Allow non-lodestone characters (eg accounts with many characters), right now it spams XIVAPI
- Allow "Named" entries rather than just character/server
