Titan Development Log

Fixed a launcher packaging and cleanup gap that could leave dgVoodoo active even when its checkbox was OFF. With FFXI closed, Standard and compatibility launches now move the recognized legacy dgVoodoo DLL and its configuration into a recoverable graphics backup before starting. Unknown graphics wrappers are preserved and block launch with a clear explanation instead of silently loading.

New installers include only the supported bootloader executables, preventing optional graphics wrappers and local graphics settings from being bundled from the build computer. Opt-in dgVoodoo activation and normal ON/OFF restoration remain available.

Launcher and installer are Microsoft Artifact Signed. This removes the reported unwanted-wrapper condition. No game-server restart is required.

Recruits once again follow in a spaced line rather than all converging on their owner. This corrects the bunching introduced by the earlier following update and applies with master Gambits ON or OFF.

If a recruit ahead stops making progress for two seconds while too far behind the owner, followers can catch up directly. They return to formation when that recruit moves again. Nearby resting formations remain in place, and named Trust behavior is unchanged.

TitanGambits 2.4.4 remains the current addon.

TitanGambits now uses the same native ImGui collapse and resize controls as XIUI config. Use the top-left arrow to collapse to the header, drag the title bar to move, and drag window edges or corners to resize. A stable window identity retains ImGui window geometry across addon versions; screen-size constraints keep dimensions within the display.

Settings appears below Info in the sidebar, with plugin opacity from 30% to 100%, text/control sizing from 70% to 200%, appearance reset and window position/size reset. Opacity is scoped to TitanGambits and includes its text and controls.

Info uses the available window height and wraps long target details. Party/action controls are omitted from Info and Settings to leave more reference space. Smaller windows scroll their content when needed. Collapsing or resizing does not change Gambits preferences or combat behavior.

Close FFXI and use the launcher to install 2.4.4. No launcher binary or game-service restart is required.

TitanGambits adopts the XIUI config style with gold sidebar navigation, warm dark panels, rounded controls and matching scoped ImGui font sizing. Green/red action buttons and job-role colors remain. Website menu icons provide Home, Auction House, Mercantile Guild, Development Log and Discord shortcuts that open only when clicked.

The master Gambits switch now pauses player automation and all owned Recruit actions, including their normal native AI and pets. Existing actions can finish and Recruits keep following. Master ON resumes saved row preferences; individual row changes cannot bypass a master pause. Other players and their Recruits remain untouched.

Newly recruited or recreated Recruits default ON, while unconfigured player jobs default OFF. Automatic tank assignments choose one Main Tank in PLD, NIN, RUN, WAR order, with remaining tanks Off Tank; explicit selections remain authoritative. The master pause is saved per character and also applies to new Recruits and restored parties. Individual Recruit OFF still selects normal native AI whenever the master is ON.

Generated Recruits now follow their owner directly, including while paused, so a stationary recruit ahead cannot hold the others in place. WHM, RDM, SCH and DNC use green healer rows with Aggressive and Conserve controls; SMN, BRD, COR and GEO keep support controls. Old RDM settings migrate safely, and player RDM cures work with non-WHM subjobs.

The header uses a separate server-confirmed master state rather than combining individual switches. Install the matching TitanGambits 2.4.3 through the launcher with FFXI closed.

Party Gambits now uses the established healer job colors: White Mage, Red Mage, Dancer and Scholar rows are green, including Red Mage rows with support-priority controls. Other server-assigned healer roles also remain green. Bard and other support rows retain their yellow color.

This display-only correction preserves all role controls, selected preferences and combat behavior. Close FFXI and use the launcher to install TitanGambits 2.4.2; no game-server restart is needed.

Fixed the launcher update failure that reported “Launcher update response is invalid.” The previous installer exceeded the 100 MiB download limit in installed launchers. The replacement removes duplicate embedded addon assets and stays within that limit; both executables are signed with Titan’s Microsoft signing identity. A release-build size gate now prevents this packaging regression.

TitanGambits 2.4.1 uses green for ON, selected role presets and configured support priorities, and red for OFF or unselected controls. Melee ON/OFF uses the same colors. Removed the [x] selection markers. Colors follow confirmed server settings; combat behavior is unchanged.

No game-server restart is needed. Close FFXI and retry the launcher update or Check Files to receive the changes.

Added optional nheatx XI Vision map overlays and PhoenixTracker to the launcher. Both start OFF and download hash-verified files only when enabled. Turning maps OFF returns to the original maps on the next launch; original client DATs and user overlay settings remain untouched. PhoenixTracker OFF removes its startup load while retaining saved tracking data.

The launcher and installer are signed with Titan’s Microsoft Artifact Signing identity. PhoenixTracker is pinned to a reviewed upstream revision.

Biast now spawns directly in Xarcabard without killing Shadow Dragon or winning a placeholder lottery. After defeat, its next spawn is scheduled eight hours later. Saved cooldowns survive server restarts, and any existing later cooldown is retained. Shadow Dragon now respawns independently.

Activation verifies the live timer setup before reopening connections.
