FFXI Font

Did you extract the files from the archive you downloaded? There should have been no need to rename any files, as they should have extracted just fine in the appropriate place if extracting them from your route FFXI folder.

i dont know :/ i just tried something else, if it doesnt work i need to just delete it all and replace the originals ><

Okay, this would probably be better to resolve in voice than posts. Do you have skype or ventrillo? I'll be happy to help you out and fix this issue.

i have ventrilo, not mine though. i just put the originals back in place and everything is fine, but i really want to get the font and icons changed >< you have a vent server?

no... i put the files as 51.DAT and 57.DAT and my screen went black and i couldnt do anything....

PMed you vent info.

yes, i restarted like 5 times, i started to panic and just put the originals back lol

Trouble getting into vent? If so I'll make you one nice walkthrough post.

had to get my mic and it was tripping out, be on in about 1 min

weewoo is trying to help me but it seems theres a problem with my comp itself

For whatever dumb reason, Adobe reader tried to be the default software for running a .rar file so I tried giving her a .zip to see if this works.

Giving her WinRAR. This should solve the problem with her being unable to access archive files.

I personally wouldn't do it any other way. It's my way of making sure I know what is going where and what is being replaced on my terms >.>

I coulda given her the installer but it's much better this way IMO.

SUCCESS!

Has this thread been mostly about someone changing their in-game font? Forgive me, I tried to retrace the steps and it seems like that. That seems cool, to be able to change your font to whatever, but I'm more interested in extracting the font to be used elsewhere in Windows.



Well that would suck, but I'd do it if it meant being able to have the font. I'd like to create a "revised search menu" or sorts and would like to have similar font to be able to compare, etc. I mean, if there's a font out there that is reasonably close to FFXI font, I could use that, too. But if the only means at this point is to extract the font, I'll do it. I guess, worst comes to worst, I could type the alphabet in my chat log, screen cap it, and create the font that way. I just thought maybe there was already a method to get the font, given that it's an 8 year old game...

:D

There is one problem though.....

Well, I know how to go about moving replacing and adjusting things with modded files already made for me. I suppose the next step is learning how to make my own dats. I have access to all the software and files to do so, but have yet to motivate myself to learn how to make my own -_-

?

Ive been online for like 20 min now and this guy has been this way, hasnt changed.

What pants/gloves is he supposed to be wearing? Sounds like your pants or glove data for those pieces might be missing or corrupted.

idk, but his hands arent showing either lol

Generally that is a case when it comes to Opaline/Benedight pieces as the body piece includes hands and the legs include the boots, but frankly I have no idea what is going on here. You'll have to tell me what he's wearing by examining him.
