xiloader's Issues

Character IDs > 0xFFFF dont write to memory correctly

dsconnect / lobby send the correct id, xiloader receives the uint32 id, something fucky happens and only 2 bytes are written to memory

see DarkstarProject/darkstar#4224

Minimum lengths for user name and password are not enforced

User "2" and password "2" actually work.

The shortest possible username should be 3 characters and shortest possible password 6 characters.

--port argument doesn't seem to have any effect

It seems the ports are hardcoded into main.cpp. Is there any direction on how to connect to a server running non-standard port?

XiLoader not launching

I am trying to get my FFXI launcher work. Windower v4 will work if I launch it without Xiloader. Once I configure it for XiLoader to launch then it gives me an error and crashes Windower. The Error "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application".

So If I try clicking on the XiLoader by itself in the PlayOnline Viewer folder it gives me the same error.

Filter settings not being saved

Hi folks, I guess this is an old one, but I thought i'd take a note on this issue on GitHub. The filter settings for characters reset on every login. I guess there's not tables in the DB that handle this information yet? Cheers.

Win 10 update (I think) and Password field

Ever since one of the windows 10 updates the password field has been adding characters. Instead of adding a single character while typing it would add two. I looked into this and it seems that it is sending a null character between each character in the password. After further investigation I believe that _getch() appears to be causing this issue.

I believe I have a fix for this or a work around at least. I plan to submit a pull request for this issue.

[Feature Request] Change password functionality.

There is currently no way to change passwords with xiloader (to my knowledge). Could this be implemented?

[Feature request] Add optional email during account creation.

When logging in, we should also request an optional email address from the user.

This input should be sanitized and validated to be a correctly formatted email address.

NOTE: This will require changes to Darkstar connect server as well.

[Feature request] Allow changing the user's email address

Following up on #28, we should update the loader to support changing the email address.

NOTE: This will require changes to the Darkstar connect server.

NOTE2: The accounts SQL table contains two email fields (email, email2). One of the fields should store the original sign-up email to use for account recovery purposes. The other can be updated to hold the current email.

That random startup crash

Sometimes at account login, xiloader will crash on receiving the character list. Can immediately close and relaunch without issue but this is frequent and random and somehow in 4+ yrs nobody has raised the issue, so here it is. On the lobby side of things everything looks normal.

We also have a random crash that can occur on alt tabbing out/back in. No idea if its related.

Feature Request - DAT swapping

I'm still super horrible at c++, but I borrowed a bunch of code from XiPivot and hacked it together with xiloader and managed to build an incredibly ugly abomination of the two, but it mostly works as a crude way to swap DATs sooner in the process while using Windower. I was hoping that you awesome folks over here could build out a more elegant/functional solution.

Xiloader crashes when you lock Windows 10

OS windows 10 pro, locking system via windows key+L and using software menu via start button crashes the game without any warning, looks like it just performs a clean exit, no error message to be had... upon unlocking the computer for any length of time the game+xiloader is just no longer running. Repeated several times with both game in focus and out.

Sanitize input and enforce password restrictions

The current code doesn't really do any checking at all. We should enforce username and password length limits, restrict their characters (e.g. exclude spaces), and protect against malicious inputs (e.g. trying to manipulate the SQL query based on their input.)

We can check some of this on this end, but we should probably add checks to Darkstar connect server as well.
