Client Setup
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
