[kid720]

im sorry if this was already asked but i have searched every where and can not find out how to get the lunar thingy and windower thing to work. I have never done thid b4 and would really like some help. could u please explain this to me so an idiot can understand lol

[TinyTerror]

Im not trying to be insulting or anything, but if you can't figure out how to read the instructions for using/installing lunar that come in lunar.zip, you aren't going to be able to use lunar very well once you get it running. Its alpha software, and is full of bugs.

[Onitaru]

I'm lazy (sloth :3 ) but Tiny if you wouldn't mind I could type up the dumbies guide to installing and useing Lunar....not that it should have to be done anywa.

This is from the readme file that is sitting on your hard drive.

INSTALLING LUNAR:

Installing Lunar is really easy, just follow these steps:

1. Unzip Lunar.zip to a folder on your desktop.
2. Copy the Lunar folder and Lunar.dll into the plugins
folder where you have the FFXI windower installed.
3. Run install.bat to install and register FFXIRead.dll.

You should get a message saying that FFXIRead.dll has been
registered. Click ok. Now you should be ready to use Lunar.


USING LUNAR:

Using lunar is also easy. After starting FFXI with the windower,
select a character and enter the game. Then follow these steps:

1. Press the ` key on your keyboard. (its next to the 1 key)
2. Type "load Lunar" without the quotes, then press enter.

If you have Lunar installed properly, you chould see the
Lunar logo for a few seconds, and some text containing the
plugin version.

3. Press ` again to close the console if you are done entering
commands.
4. When you are done using Lunar, type "unload Lunar" in the
console without the quotes.

When you unload Lunar, the game will freeze for 2 seconds, and
Lunar will unload. The 2 second freeze is completely normal. It
is used to allow any scripts you still have running to shut down
on thier own.


RUNNING SCRIPTS:

Once Lunar is running, you can start running scripts with it. To
run a script, type ".Lunar load scriptname" without the quotes.
Scriptname is the filename of the script you would like to run.
To unload a script, type ".Lunar unload scriptname" without the
quotes. Please keep in mind that a script can change it's name
during execution. You can use the ".Lunar list" command to see
a list of all the running scripts.


INSTALLING SCRIPTS:

Lunar scripts are kept in the /Lunar/Scripts folder. You must put
your script in this folder for it to be detected by Lunar. Any
additional files used by your script must be placed in the same
folder as the script unless specified by the script itself. Scripts
can be placed in subdirectories for the sake of organization, but
you must include the subdirectory name when you load the script.

when i try the install.bat file it says this

c:\winnt\system32\cmd.exe

c:\documents and settings\administrator\desktop\new folde\copy FFXIRead.dll c:\windowsytsem32
the system cannot find the path specified.
0 file(s) copied

c:\documents and settings\administrator\desktop\new folde\copy SDL.dll c:\windowsytsem32
the system cannot find the path specified.
0 file(s) copied

c:\documents and settings\administrator\desktop\new folde>REGSVR32 c:\windowsytsem32\FFXIRead.dll
the system cannot find the path specified.
0 file(s) copied

then a second window says
LoadLibrary("c:\windows\system32\FFXIRead.dll") failed-the specified module could not be found.


What does this mean I did wrong? I just wanna learn what all of you guys know so that I can some day help out othere people just as you guys do.... Could someone please explain this to me, and if not I understand. I guess I am just making myself feel dumb. Please someone help me

no offense here, but it'll say the same thing for when you install lunar to other people's computers. It shouldn't be something concerning you.

IF you didnt understand that which was already in the lunar.zip file, well you'll have torouble using the windower.

Just read the stuff in the lunar file(s), I think these boards aren't designed for people to be lazy in. I think that's a sure way to make yourself not to look a tad bit on the shallow end of the intelligence pool.

try not to make yourself feel stupid, it helps no one and certianly not yourself. Just hit the '`' button when you're in the FFXI game.... and this was already put somewhere, maybe those little files were written for a reason....

Btw, not everyone is using the ` key to open the console. I know I'm not. (I had to change it due to issues with my EU keyboard)

[Onitaru]

I quote ppl alot so I use ~ hand to change it from ` to \ seeing as its a key almost never used
