Actually one of the worst ones I remember was in 1996, it was a huge blizzard. I was a little kid living in Staten Island and I remember the snow was taller than me lol. It didn't get as bad as then but its weird to have all this in FEB. Worst I remember was somewhere in the 1960s and had no snow. It was 5f, -15c, with a FIERCE wind roaring through the steel canyons. My car's battery froze and cracked. No idea of the humidity but it obviously enough to help the cold penetrate.
I have been more comfortable at -20f. I had never heard of a car battery freezing before. My electrolyte had to have been weak.

1) Ditch the whole massive list that is auto generated and instead hand tailor lists from safe to more risky.
Agreed with everything else, but... The punishment for using third party software doesn't vary by addon, so the warning should be universal as well. Players have been and will continue to be banned because they thought they were using acceptable addons. This is almost giving them a reason to point a finger at you when that inevitably happens.

Talking about the winter games, thia time, for the first time in hiatory a brazilian (and maybe the first latin american too) earned a gold medal.
When he earned the medal, we had some news of winter games at front page here for a couple of days, before all the news related to itnsimply vanishing from the site
That was fun for a little while until you dug a little deeper and discovered he was Norwegian. His mom was born in Brazil or something and he didn't want to compete for a spot with his stacked Norwegian team. Of course Brazil took him.

Potentially yeah, not sure how to weigh 100% chance with ele obi vs the occasional(30% chance?) 15% boost

One reason I don't want my stuff to be in this collection, but not the only reason, is that the links are not to the repo but directly to each individual lua file.
I need users to be able to see, for example, the main repo-related readme rather than the per-addon ones, but also the links to my discord, the links to my patreon (I don't have one, saying in general), etc, otherwise we have a Google Search Snippets issue. Furthermore, you are not linking to repo licenses, which depending on the license might not be allowed.
Websites are also publicly available on the entire internet, yet we have robots.txt and scraper exclusion for a reason.
(also you're listing a million library files that are useless on their own, but this is a minor detail)
Those are some fair points, and valid criticism. I appreciate that, thank you.
1) I'll make sure your addons are not included going forward, and include a form for those who also do not want their addons included. If I can build the site into something people are happy to use, in time I will include a way for authors to opt out of being included on their repos, but that feels very presumptuous of me to do right now.
2) I will sort that so instead of linking to the Lua directly, it goes to the repo. Unsure why I didn't do it that way in the first place honestly, likely just inexperience on my part.
3) Licenses is a good point, and again, my fault for lack of experience, I will fix this up. Thank you.
4) This will likely be fixed with the move to linking to repos, instead of linking to addons directly, but I will make sure I do a pass to filter out libraries.
On the whole, thank you for the measured feedback, I appreciate all of it considering your experience.
You know as well as I do that those warnings mean nothing and OP will get the blame regardless how many warnings there are.
You generate a list, you make yourself responsible for what's on the list.
Someone searching the Internet on their own and downloading something can only be on them.
There are always going to be people that are going to do something stupid, regardless of warnings, and suffer consequences. I do not feel that alone is worth preventing to try to do something that might help the majority.
On the other hand, most of them are just shovelware. It'd be more useful to have a curated list of ~50 worthwhile addons written by hand with information on them than an auto generated list of 700 links to trash. It's a little easier to sift through than other search methods, but it's still mostly junk.
I like the idea of a curated list, maybe that could eventually be the main tab of the website with "All" being an alternative. Thank you for the feedback.
The idea of a centralized site sounds great but this is kinda throwing out AI slop vibes to me at least.
I was actually very very scared to share this site publicly and it took some convincing from friends to get me to do so, because I was worried it was just going to be labelled "AI slop".
I know you don't me, and I don't know you, but I can promise you I am very strongly anti-AI. I've spent the last year or so teaching myself python, as I already knew a fair amount of HTML, and Lua from my previous career. I've driven my poor friends completely insane with questions about how to do this, or that, etc. I understand why you would make that assumption in today's world, but at the same time, I'm a little hurt that my work isn't good enough yet to stand out from AI, yet. I can only improve. As for your feedback...
Here is some constructive criticism.
1) Ditch the whole massive list that is auto generated and instead hand tailor lists from safe to more risky.
2) Dont link directly to the lua file but to the owners repo itself.
3) Windowers official repo doesnt even really need to be listed here since all addons are in the launcher. Can make a note to check the launcher for official addons
4) If repos have a mix of safe and risky addons have a note that some addons from the repo could be risky.
5) If a repo author doesnt want to be in your list be respectful and remove them(or dont but then makes you seem shady and untrustworthy)
1) I won't be doing this, right now, at least. Maybe in the future when I can curate a list of solid addons.
2) See my reply to Lili above.
3) Fair point, I'll change that.
4) I can do this as I manually review repos after making changes.
5) See my reply to Lili above.
Thank you for your feedback.

It isn't just Asura. It's happening on all servers and there's issues connecting throgh PoL.
Seeing as my JP friends and a few NAs are not having issues, there's probably a faulty node somewhere.

However I do think some addons/repos are better left in the shadows for reasons. We all may know something exists but doesnt need to be front and center on a site. It could also lead to bad things for noobs that dont fully understand what they are getting into.

Every "naysayer" is already using a lot of these addons.
The concern is around how this list is generated and who is responsible for its content.
|
|
 |
|
|
FFXI basically runs on people working hard in their spare time to make addons work, and continue to work. I think this is a good idea and I hope the naysayers enjoy playing a laggy mess with non of the QoL features from addons stuff like this helps to support.

Seems to me that if OP wants to take the blame that's totally up to them. Maybe some people are too stupid to search effectively.
On the other hand, most of them are just shovelware. It'd be more useful to have a curated list of ~50 worthwhile addons written by hand with information on them than an auto generated list of 700 links to trash. It's a little easier to sift through than other search methods, but it's still mostly junk.

This is a good idea, but is OP prepared to be the gatekeeper of other author's addons? The list is not curated as you say, which makes it effectively the same as searching "ffxi addon github".
Having a nicely presented list is great, but first time an addon on the list doesnt work or does bad things the onus will be on the list that addon came from.
What makes official windower addons "official" is that they are curated and their updates vetted.
Quite literally the first thing under the title on that page is a warning against what you said here.
"Here's the list of everything. You assume all risks. Dont @ me when you get banned cause you loaded dumb ***."

I just did 3 sets for some of my jobs and it seems the SP reduc cap is not the same for each job.
It seems only WAR/MNK/THF/WHM/BLM/RDM can have SP-3. All other jobs are cap to -2.
So for my WAR i did : head-2/body-3/legs-1/feet-1 for a total of 3m30 reduction (relic hands gives more duration on MS so it's definitively better)
For BRD : head-2/body-2/hands-1/legs-1/feet-1 for a 3m30 reduction (relic legs are only 30sec duration for SV, only few circumstances where it's not worth)
For COR : head-2/body-2/hands-1/legs-1 for a 3min reduction (relic feet is better i think)
Is someone else can confirm these cap ?

Thank you for your contributions, this will definitely be a helpful tool for those who want an easy and simple way to look up for their addons (and most updated versions).
I get you're trying to do a good thing, but theres a reason most of these addons arent supported by windower. Even if we all know where to find them, you've just broken the first rule of Fight Club.
We know what anchor is but we dont tell people where to get anchor or how to use anchor. Its not to gatekeep, its to make sure that people who dont know what they're doing dont get themselves banned.
You're the first person to name a specific addon. The post didn't mention Anchor at all, so if we're talking about "Fight Club rules" that seems a bit ironic.

I appreciate what you're saying, and you present a good point, but I personally don't see the difference between someone finding an addon on github, downloading it without understanding it, and possibly resulting in punishment, and getting it from an aggregated source such as this. There's nothing stopping someone from just looking through github to find anything listed, my crawler is just using their API to find addons, ultimately, same as anyone can just find said addons using the right search terms.
What system do you have in place for repo owners to opt out of being scraped?
There's currently no system in place, quite simply because this is all publicly accessible. Anything on the site can be found via a search on GH as I mentioned above. If there's a particular reason a repo owner does not want their stuff listed (but continues to want it publicly accessible?), I can look into it.

Its +15% enspell dmg, only thing comparable is obi under i think day+weather or double weather.
Depending on the situation osash is still better even with double weather+day, because weather/day bonus still activate even without obi equipped, just not each swing.

OK, so possibly in order to collect all KIs for every craft you have to get a Tier 4 shield (not just spend the extra 380k GP on KIs).
I swear I'm not going to get into *that* conversation again, but just to clarify, when you say "stage 4 shield" you mean like "Beveler's Escutcheon", right?
Because yeah, you'd have to actually complete all 8 shields, tossing 7 of them, on the same character to get all KIs.

Neat project for sure--though I wonder if a simple "-Awesome" Wiki/markdown file on github would be more useful long-term?
|
|
 |
|

Hm! Maybe I don't. I thought I remembered that from when I was scanning my permanent KIs to see which I was missing, but checking the .dats it looks like it's not the case. There's a lot of "Spiffy Synth." KIs (approximately in the right spot for a crafting KI), but that may just be a placeholder.

Is there any consistent way to get metal H from Haughty Tulittia? Took it down to 35 % using Aeolian edge indirectly while all characteres were targeing another mob then from 35 % to 0 targeting Tulittia. No metal.
