A tool for configuring Final Fantasy XIV and ACT on Linux.

Source: https://github.com/Zi-SH/ffxiv-tools

Prior to the creation of xlcore, manual configuration of Final Fantasy XIV was required on Linux. While its configuration wasn’t notoriously difficult allowing other apps to work along-side it on the same WINESERVER was often complicated.

When I began doing hardcore raiding on Final Fantasy XIV, I required ACT (Advanced Combat Tracker) for performance metrics I could review after the content. This application required fairly specific networking configurations, especially under Linux, due to things such as networking capabilities on binaries. More specifically, features like cap_net_raw, cap_net_admin, and cap_sys_ptrace=eip were required on the WINE binaries for the functionality ACT provided.

This clusterfuck has been superceded by both GoatCorp’s XIVQuickLauncher (XLCore) and Marzent’s IINACT (It Is Not ACT) Dalamud Plugin.
