NOTICE

This is for setting up a server for the FINAL FANTASY XIV v1.23b client, the original iteration of the game.

The FINAL FANTASY XIV: A REALM REBORN client is not compatible with this project.

Configuring the client

1. Install the Final Fantasy XIV client

2. Install the Seventh Umbral launcher

3. Open <Seventh Umbral launcher install location>\servers.xml

4. Create a new entry:

<Server Name="Localhost" Address="127.0.0.1" LoginUrl="http://localhost/login_su/login.php" />

For a basic rundown of what each of these parts means

4a. Name - what is going to be shown the 7U Launcher's list of servers to connect to

4b. Address - the IP address or hostname that the FFXIV Client will be told to connect to. This should be your lobby server if on another machine.

4c. LoginUrl - the URL address to your webserver's login.php file. On WAMP, the files and folders in your www folder will match the URL.

Note: If the server is on a different machine then the client, change Address and LoginUrl to reflect that

5. Run <Seventh Umbral launcher install location>\Launcher.exe

6. Go to Game Settings and enter the path to <FINAL FANTASY XIV client install location>

7. Restart the launcher and patch client if necessary

8. Make an account

http://localhost/login_su/create_user.php

Similar to above, this link changes based on your webserver setup.

Note: If the server is on a different machine, use it's IP instead of localhost

Starting the client

1. Run <Seventh Umbral launcher install location>\Launcher.exe

2. Select the correct server from the Server dropdown box

3. Log in with previously created account
