Has this been updated for the patch? It doesn't work for me after 2.28

[automationarmy]

ouch. Havent used it in awhile but Im sure I will at some point. Its quite useful. I don't even know where it comes from or that would be a good place to start looking for updates.

Anyone?

best I can tell a guy named maury ishaxin (game name) who ironically plays(ed) ffxiv on my server created the hack. He's not online atm and courtesy of some googling it appears he dropped an app in for a wildstar guild so im not sure if he's ever coming back.

That being said - I'm not sure what it would take to update or if anyone can.. but it would be awesome if so. Im not sure if its something as simple as editing an ini with the version number ala out of date wow addons or if its much more complicated...

either way - I wouldn't count on him being available to do so >.<

[Tassabra]

I sent him a PM on reddit, but no response either. Guess he is gone for good. I'll try to decompile his exe and see if it's an easy fix.

Tassabra - I will love you. This "hack" has SO many applications/uses beyond leviathan that its a wonder its not integrated into some of the other tools available. With that said, it would be a shame if this died/went away.

Please keep us posted.

ndcx - I wish I knew what to do w/ that lol - its on my to do list...seriously!

You can try this i suppose: Link
You might need to install the 2012 c++ runtimes

sauce:

#include <Windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

#include <TlHelp32.h>

DWORD  dwFFBase = 0;;
BOOL   SetZoom(FLOAT fZoom);
DWORD  GetModuleAddress(DWORD ProcessId, CHAR* pModuleName);

	HWND hWndFF = FindWindow(0, "FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn");

	DWORD dwProcessId = 0;
	GetWindowThreadProcessId(hWndFF, &dwProcessId);
