FINAL FANTASY XIV: STORMBLOOD - CUSTOM LAUNCHER

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.

Source files

• 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

Getting started

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.

Compiling the JS and SCSS

Make sure your IDE is set to: EMCAScript 6

(If you need SASS installed: yarn add sass-loader node-sass --dev)

• yarn build or yarn build-dev or yarn build-dev --watch

Compile

• 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.

Dev Tools

Open with CTRL+Shift+I

Preview

Todo

• 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
