HOW TO: AutoLogin When Locked Out of FFXIV (PC Only)

Daggra

Alright ya'll. First, I'd like to say that this is an incredibly good game. I've been lucky enough to enjoy every minute of it. I feel the dungeons, cross-class, deep crafting, and even the main storyline are all incredibly addicting.

That said, I find it sad that some of our gaming brothers can't login to FFXIV and spam the login screen pointlessly. I do NOT leave my char logged on, and I encourage you not to do so either. This prevents our friends and community from being able to logon and enjoy the game.

 

Instead, I beg you to download a program called "AutoHotKey" (google it), then please google the "script to spam a key". Once you have the script, run it in AutoHotKey and target the {Numpad0} key. This will allow you to spam the login without having to be around your computer until it gets you in.

This is better than leaving your character logged in all day and taking up precious slots from our brothers who want to play. I'd post the exact script and links here, but I'm not sure I am allowed to.

 

Thanks for the read. See you in game.

Thank you for this tip, going to try it after work! All I ask for is allow me to at leats wait in a queue so I get a chance to play, this looks like the next best thing.

I don't see why you could not post the script, it is not like this is to bot in game.

I am glad to be able to help the community! I think it's sad that some pigs are remaining logged in preventing others who have barely played from being able to join..I suppose they may not know any better.

Using a script lets you take up room only when you NEED to.

If I am allowed to post the script, I use (I did NOT write it):

 

 

<pre lang-auto="" linenums:0="" prettyprinted"="">

F2::

If State=50

State=Off

else

State=50

SetTimer SendKey, %State%

Return

SendKey:

Send {Numpad0}

Return

 

Please ignore the very top line (before 'F2')

You press F2 to turn it on or off at will. Ensure that Numlock is on to run it.

This script usually gets me on within anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes depending on how many people there are trying to login. Thank you for your feedback.

I did something similar but with an xbox controller, just spamming A. Then I realize I was hitting cancel on the queue window. Ill try that auto hotkey ... hopefully it wont do that so I just just leave it working until I notice i am in game.

Just to warn everyone, was this is a good post, it will probably not work because if you are LUCKY enough to go through that error, you will get into the queue and spamming "numpad0" will cancel the queue 

 

Sadly..

I did see it cancel the queue once, but when I glanced over and saw the queue I just hit F2 to turn the script off. For some reason, it almost never gets a queue anyway and just throws me into the game eventually...*shrug*

It actually DOES seem to work! Not sure why, but it usually skips the queue and takes you right in. If it does hit the queue, you usually keep getting in it over & over, giving you time to turn off the script.

Try it! It's great.

thanks daggra, thats much better code than what I was using with locations and sleep (wait) states.

edit: it goes so fast I couldnt even see if the queue came up so I added Sleep 1000 to slow it down.

gotta love some autohotkey:P
