This can be used to add custom lobbies to the game, otherwise there's no way to normally. (The retail client will use the built-in URLs in the executable, the launcher doesn't pass any.)

# LauncherTweaks
|
|
|
|
Tweaks for the official FFXIV launcher.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
* Configure the launcher URL, enabling you to write custom launcher pages.
|
|
* Configure the boot and game patching URLs.
|
|
* Force the launcher/boot executable to use the system proxy. (The web browser portions of the launcher already use the system proxy.)
|
|
* Force the launcher/boot executable to always communicate over HTTP instead of HTTPS, to make it easier to replace with local services.
|
|
* Bypasses the (soft) WebView2 requirement introduced in Patch 7.21.
|
|
* Disable the boot version check.
|
|
* Add extra arguments when launching the game.
|
|

|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Grab a build from [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/redstrate/LauncherTweaks/actions) or build the project with the instructions below. Then, place the `winmm.dll` next to the launcher.
|
|
|
|
To configure the launcher URL, place a `launchertweaks.toml` next to the launcher executable:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
# Must be able to serve a index.html or else the launcher 404s:
|
|
launcher_url = "https://launcher.mysite.localhost/"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### macOS/Linux
|
|
|
|
Wine will prefer it's own `winmm.dll` by default, but you can change it the configuration (`winecfg`). Applications like [Bottles](https://usebottles.com/) have dedicated settings for this too.
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
We require Nightly to build, but `rust-toolchain.toml` should prefer it by default.
|
|
|
|
## macOS/Linux
|
|
|
|
It's possible to build this project outside of Windows. Ensure that you have and build with the correct target (`x86_64-pc-windows-gnu`):
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you encounter an error message like:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
error occurred in cc-rs: failed to find tool "x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc": No such file or directory (os error 2)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then you need to install the MinGW toolchain, as one of our dependencies has to compile C code.
|
|
|
|
## Tips & Tricks
|
|
|
|
Check out the [Launcher page on wiki.xiv.zone](https://wiki.xiv.zone/Launcher) for more details about the launcher's functions.
|
|
|
|
### Logging Proxy
|
|
|
|
You can use the `winmm_proxy` config option to sniff the non-web browser traffic from the launcher. You need a HTTP proxy capable of logging of course, I personally use [mitmproxy](https://mitmproxy.org).
