Titan Development Log

Titan Chat could display a native linkshell message without its character portrait because those messages did not carry the character identity used by the image lookup. Your own messages now retain your current character ID, and other senders resolve through the public website character portrait directory.

Portraits follow the current directory as rendered images change. Titan and MercantileGuild chat retain their existing message delivery and privacy rules. Close and reopen Titan Chat after the launcher applies this update to load the new portrait lookup.

Titan Chat now reads the game’s native linkshell text as well as packet messages, including your own sent messages. The viewer accepts only Titan and MercantileGuild matched to the current character’s equipped linkshells; private linkshells and tells remain excluded.

A message observed through both delivery paths appears once, while intentionally repeated messages remain separate. Each feed retains up to 60 messages observed during the current character session while its window is open. Close and reopen Titan Chat after the launcher applies this update so the window loads the new code.

New Tactics job profiles start in Aggressive mode with Skillchain Focus enabled and automated AoE weaponskills disabled. Turning AoE weaponskills on saves that choice for the profile; existing saved choices are preserved. Four controls beside Expand All and Collapse All apply Aggressive, Passive, Skillchain Focus or Freewill to the player and owned recruits currently listed. Each control preserves the other mode, AoE choice, subjob and tank role. Same-job recruits continue to share one saved profile. Close and reopen Tactics after updating to load the new controls.

TitanHub displays native sparks rewards as “Servo gains 21 titan sparks.” without balance totals or parentheses. EXP keeps its normal “Servo gains 140 experience points.” wording. Native reward channels, colors and reward calculations remain unchanged. The formatter reads only the valid incoming packet data, preserving compatibility with SimpleLog. Reload TitanHub after updating.

TitanHub displays native sparks rewards in the compact format “Servo gains 15 sparks (648/99,999)” while preserving the native reward channel and color. EXP gains also show current EXP and the amount required for the next level, such as “Servo gains 144 experience points. (3,400/4,500)”. The EXP suffix uses the server’s post-award status, including level carryover and caps. If that status is unavailable alongside the reward, the original EXP line is preserved. Reload TitanHub after updating to activate the formatter. Reward amounts and progression are unchanged.

Combat sparks rewards now use the game’s native sparks reward message instead of the purple system announcement. The message reports the amount actually credited and your new balance, uses the same reward display category as EXP gains, and works without TitanHub. Sparks calculations, the 99,999 cap and elemental hunt rewards are unchanged.

Launcher 1.6.46 places the minimize and close controls nearer the top-right corner and aligns the Online status and player count with the center of the diamond icon. The header uses the website’s status colors, divider and player-count wording.

The Play page now displays the Titan logo in its upper-right area. Account shows only the login panel, positioned on the right, leaving the rendered character background visible. The compact character information card remains at the bottom-right of Play.

The launcher and matching setup installer are Microsoft-signed and available through the normal launcher update check.

TitanChat now includes messages you send through your equipped Titan or MercantileGuild linkshell alongside messages received from other members. Your own lines were missing because the live viewer only read incoming linkshell packets, and normal linkshell delivery excludes the sender. The viewer now observes your normal outgoing linkshell messages without sending a second copy. It collects new messages while open; it does not load earlier chat history.

Combat notices now use lowercase sparks, for example: Servo gains 15 sparks (602/99,999). TitanHub recognizes the native formatting bytes around the line before assigning the EXP-gain display category. The credited amount, balance and 99,999 cap are unchanged. After updating through the launcher, reload TitanHub and reopen TitanChat, or restart the game, to load the new handlers.
