  • Fixed display issues in the Japanese translation (@qitana)
  • Changed the cutscene detection to use the parser's opcodes. This should make updates for game patches unnecessary.
  • Updated translations: Japanese (@qitana), Korean (@Jaehyuk-Lee)

Please let me know if you find any bugs, either here or on the FFXIV ACT Discord.

The .7z and .zip downloads are identical. Just different archive formats. Download whichever is easier for you to extract.

Some notes for new users:

  • Make sure you disable the old OverlayPlugin and restart ACT before adding this plugin.
  • Don't overwrite the old OverlayPlugin with this one, extract the archive into a new folder.
  • If you get a message complaining about a missing CefSharp.Core.dll, make sure you have the MS Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019 installed.
  • Make sure no OverlayPlugin*.dll or HtmlRenderer.dll files are in your ACT folder.

This update adds a few new options, overhauls the overlay settings UI and fixes a few annoying but rare bugs.

  • The Force white background setting will now be saved (just like all the other options).
  • Negative zoom values are now possible which allows you to scale the overlays down.
  • Added additional error checks to warn users about common problems (like an outdated Newtonsoft.Json version).
  • Fixed an issue where the overlay URLs would sometimes revert to about:blank.
  • Added more info to the Not initialized! error message.
  • Fixed an issue where ending combat through overlays didn't work.
  • Fixed FFXIV memory reading which broke after patch 5.18. (Thanks @qitana!)
    This should fix the enmity overlays.
  • The WSServer tab now uses libcurl for downloads just like the rest of OverlayPlugin. This should solve the issue
    where generating a SSL certificate failed because mkcert couldn't be downloaded.
  • Added OverlayControl which allows addon developers to embed web pages in WinForms controls.
  • Overhauled the overlay settings UI
    • The settings are now grouped into several tab to reduce the clutter.
    • You can now assign multiple hotkeys to the same overlay.
  • Added an option to disable overlays. A disabled overlay won't use any resources but won't be able to do anything either.
  • Added an option to mute hidden overlays.
  • Updated translations: Chinese (@ShadyWhite) and French (@mooondark)

Fixed a possible freeze during startup (I've only seen it in combination with ACTWS so far but other plugins might trigger this as well).

  • Fixed #59: OverlayPlugin overlays shouldn't accept input focus (this could caused reduced FPS in-game after clicking on an overlay)
  • Optimized EnmityEventSource: If the enmity overlays caused stutter or other issues, this should fix it. Collecting enmity data now takes a fraction of the previous time (~35ms -> ~3ms).
  • Improved ACTWS shim: This fixes the MopiMopi buttons. Screenshots aren't implemented, yet, but ending encounters works.
  • New OverlayPlugin installations default to sorting by DPS
  • Loading OverlayPlugin before ACT_FFXIV_Plugin.dll should work now
  • Dropped the minimum required .NET Framework version down to 4.6.1 (the same as the FFXIV parser)
  • Improved startup speed
  • Updated the AddonExample project (@qitana)
  • Added a site with some documentation on the new overlay API and some other stuff: https://ngld.github.io/OverlayPlugin/
  • Updated translations: Chinese (@ShadyWhite) and Japanese (@qitana)
