Bless you for doing this. I've heard you've had some negative experience with some of the XI community and that breaks my heart. Just know that you're appreciated by a lot of people I've talked to!
So, I'm using Ashita. I went through all the steps, everything worked. Xipivot even moved the folder to the active overlays section, but it had no effect. I tried turning them on and off, reinstalling xipivot, zoning in and out of different areas, using different versions of xipivot, I'm not sure what else there is to try. Can anyone please help me?
Sorry this is really late but did you end up ever figuring this out? I've been trying to figure it out all day. I see the overlays but nothing happens when I enable them.
any chance you or someone could make an instalation video that's not so high on resolution? I can barely make out what it says there with my current monitor
I really wanted to download this, but it seems the current package for XI Pivot has changed dramatically since this video was made and it's no longer relevant.
The Settings file is generated after you first launch XIpivot for the first time in game. Either via //LUA L XIPIVOT for Windower or /LOAD XIPIVOT in Ashita.
I first saw your post on Reddit like 200 some odd days ago and I was really interested in this. Haven't been playing XI for a couple of years but in a month or so I'll be buying a PC mainly to play XI and this texture pack is definitely getting installed! Awesome work that you've done and I can't wait to actually play with this instead of just watching your videos. Thank you for doing this and I can't wait to try this out! and
I am extremely confused as to how to install this. I'm using Ashita V3, and I just don't understand anything you're saying. If you were to make 2 seperate videos, one for each (Ashita and Windower) it would make things so simple. I have some other pack installed, but it's buggy, so I was looking into this one. Even your mod page doesn't specifically say where to put the files and what to do. Unless I'm mistaken?
On the XiPivot UI in game when I click the + button to add the available overlay to the active overlay, nothing happens. As if the button does not work like yours does at 8:20 into your video. Please help :)
There's currently an issue with the latest release of XIpivot, the developer is aware - Until then, I'd recommend using 0.3.1 - Found here: github.com/Shirk/XIPivot/releases/tag/v0.3.1 After clicking the + button for the overlay, you'll need to zone or change equipment for the textures to reload.
@@Ashenbubs Hello! Having the same issue with the + button not working. Do I uninstall the current version and just download the older one from the link?
Need a video that walks us through the process for Ashita installation guide. a lot of points you didnt cover for Ashita. not getting the basic or prime visible in xipivot even though I've created the DATs folder and moved them in there.
Are the folders located in the same file path as the one show in the XIPivot UI? Did you unzip the contents of the files on NexusMods or just put the whole rar file in there? (Someone had this issue yesterday)
@@Ashenbubs Mine shows up in active overlays, but doesn't look any different. I'm on ashita and when I type /pivot status it shows up as available, but after I press the + to make it active nothing changes.
Gonna add this here for those that need. For ashita u need to download the xipivot 3.1 and replace the current xipivot.dll with the 3.1 one. After that you need to create the DATs folder under ashita pluggins and add the ashenbubs folder to it but you also need to add another copy in the pluggins folder, so it will be in 2 places. I also added a " /load xipivot " line in the pluggins section of the default.txt file for ashita. After that typing /pivot status ingame will bring up the menu and actually apply it. Then zone to different area. Hope this helps. Now if someone can direct me on how to make xivhotbar stuff work for ashita, that be great mmmkay.
So..I'm using Ashita and I did everything here but when I click the + to add ashenbubs from available overlays to active overlays it doesn't activate it. Nothing happens when I click the + button. I can see the little blue box with the + in it flash when I click so I know it's registering the click... Any ideas?
Maybe I'm dumb, but I followed the steps listed in the guide here for Windower and loaded the overlay in game. But every time I reboot the game or reload plugins, the settings file gets overwritten and the commands for my overlays are gone--they have to be reapplied in game every time I log in. I've tried everything from deleting the settings file and allowing a fresh one to be made, to manually inputting the commands in the file itself and saving it, but it's always overwritten every time. Is anyone else encountering this issue?
This is awesome! I just want to say after setting this up for the past few hours, using Windower is such a better experience to Ashta. Soo much better! Great work on these textures!
Weird! I tried using Windower but kept getting HORRIBLE slowdown on my rig, to the point where just running around in San d'Oria would cause the FPS to dip from 60 down to the low 40s. I just installed Ashita and everything runs flawlessly. Oh well!
Always wondering, what do you use to make the floating text above you and enemies look so good? Oh, found XITide. but how does one get it to work on windower, used the steps here and it wont load? It says loaded, but isnt showing the new font
You have to directly copy it into the FFXI folder, not the XIPivot folder. Fonts load before so it has to replace the original. I have it working fine now
Please forgive me if this answer is in the video, or is easily accessible elsewhere, but is this HD pack exclusively for player models and gear? I do not want to add new textures to the environment, but the fidelity of the armor looks too good to pass up. Any information you have is helpful, thanks!
This HD pack is for everything - People have asked for a split to be made available - It's a lot of work but when I get a day or two free I'll do my best to split them, but can't promise anything soon I'm afraid!
@@Ashenbubs That is totally okay - This is an amazing passion project and you haven't asked for anything to do this. I can not expect you to burn yourself out trying to hash all of that out. Thank you so much for your diligence and your hard work, it really breathes new life into the game from the footage I've seen.
Love your creations, hard work! Thank you very much! But I have a question, I hope you can reply if you see it: I'm using a 27" 4K monitor with 3840*2160 resolution and 150% zoom. Using windower4 to load Primex4 texture upscale, the game window is set to 3840*2100, then the problem is that the game UI becomes very large, and the game menu can not be seen. Changing the computer's scaling to 100%, the game UI display becomes smaller and the game menu is small. Please tell me how to set it more reasonable.
when i put the pivot folder into windower > addons there is no data folder... all thats in the xi pivot folder is a folder called "libs" a README a settings.sample XML file & a xipivot LUA file.. helpppp @Ashenbubs
@@Ashenbubs please do, it looks awesome! I actually just got a version just now from the old GitHub beta and dropped it rom/119 and it looks like it but not as crisp as yours or maybe It’s on my end. In any case, this is proper work!
So, quick question. I have ashita, i installed xipivot, mad the DAT's folder and put the AshenbubsHD into it. got in game and loaded it, small error saying that the config file could not be loaded. pull up the pivot status, load the overlay and nothing happens. Looks the exact same. any idea what im messing up?
@@raoinshishiza152 aha! Did you have to zone first? I don’t think I mention that! I do briefly say about changing armour to see the difference I think! Glad you got it sorted~
There should be an example settings file with the xipivot files, and I believe another one should also be created the first time loading xipivot in game :)
@@Ashenbubs Yes, I've zoned. I finally got XIpivot to show that its loaded with no errors but yet nothing has changed for me. After downloading Basic pack I wasn't prompted to extract the files. After doing that and putting the folder into the dats folder it loads but nothing has changed. Seems like XIpivot is the issue. I even downloaded your font pack and pivot wont load that also. If I override it in the rom folder for the game it works fine.
Using Windower and once I have everything setup as you show in your video, it says the files are loaded when i check status in game but nothing has changed visually.......am I just missing something here
go to your file explorer-->find your addon folder for windower--->xivbar folder--->data---->right click edit the "settings" with notepad and change the x/y parameters from 0 depending on your resolution. might have to do it a few times to find the sweet spot.
If the + doesn't do anything, it sounds like you may have not extracted the .rar file into a folder - Your folder path should look like: Windower/addons/XIpivot/data/DATs/AshenbubsHD-Basic/ROM (all 10 folders, ROM, ROM2, ROM3, ROM4, etc should be here with ROM)
would love to be able to get this working but it just wont happen, i've got it in the exact same folder, relogged, loaded xipivot, zoned, hell i've even redownloaded everything, it just will not work, when i //lua l xipivot the overlays thing is just blank, its in c/me/downloads/addons/xipivot/data/DATs and nothing, tried multiple times
Question regarding XIPivot using Ashita. Have installed everything and followed ashenbubs video guide. But when i get in game and do /pivot to add overlay i can see my available overlay and click on the add option but it does not move to Active overlays. Can anyone help me with this or point me in the direction i might be able to find an answer?
Hey Brandon - Have you unzipped the files into that location, or have you moved the downloaded .rar file there instead? If you unzip the contents of the install there, that should work - If all else fails, I have a discord that you can join via the information above :)
Downloaded the prime version. how come it shows as a .rar file? and in the vid its in a folder? im on Ashita. I put the .rar file in a folder then put that into a DATs folder. It shows up as available overlay but when i click + it doesn't activate.
It's visually very different - Mine focus' on keeping the aesthetic the same to the original - without replacing textures for real life materials such as wood/plants/stone/brick/etc. Mine will give a sense of familiarity. It's personal prefence though.
It's too bad this isn't compatible with the job master star dat from Jeanpaul. I installed the job master star dat file and the game crashes instantly when my character loads into Bastok.
That pack will crash your game unless it’s the had an update from January. FFXI added new icons to the game in that update and some other mods have not updated their files to reflect this. Causing crashes in starter towns. For more information on that other mods issues, read here: www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/55641/january-2021-version-update/3/
You can, yes - You can copy the ROM folders directly over your existing ones in your install directory - But I'd recommend making a backup via copy/paste first.
@@Ashenbubs Was looking into this video: ruclips.net/video/LAs6SCgj8Dg/видео.html Is it really worth using the Ameiliaès Upscale if I am using your 4x prime version
Is there a way to back up my files to use this without XIpivot? I'm on Nasomi and on that server that addon isn't allowed. Thank you, I'm excited to use this and the pack looks beautiful!
the only way i can get this to work is by transfering the files directly into my main installation folder, however by doing this some of the items i was carrying were blacked out so i couldnt even know what items they were, had to recover my original files through steam
does thsi replace the Dgvoodoo or run alongside it? as im having real nightamre with my FPS right now whenever iam near other players or in high dense pop zones. i have windower4, FFXIView,XIpivot,FFXI-HD & your ashenbubs beta but it only seems to want to use the beta over basic or prime? i followed your guide & even changed the overlay scripts in the script files but my FPS is utter garbage drops from smooth 59.8fps to a sluggy 7fps whenever iam near other gamers (im not on laptop im on desktop PC with Nvidia 2060 super RTX card) EDIT: just ran little experiment then.. it seem that trusts with II like Lion II or Prishe II etc (when they have that blocky aura around them) the will utterly destroy your fps rates to single digits ive also just set POL FFXI even windower4 ot ultra in my Pc settings menu now but thats not making any differences so i wonder if its Dgvoodoo & your ashen program hating each other?
Hello! Few things to go through here - Remove the Beta if you're using Basic/Prime, you won't need it anymore - If you experience FPS drops, turn MipMapping off - It runs alongside DGvoodoo. The aura effect you mention is a PS2 graphic effect that never looked good on PC, it's on all avatars and any trusts which are tier II, you can turn it off via an in-game setting which is: "/localsettings blureffect off"
@@Ashenbubs thing is im uttely clueless over these things so im trying to learn as ive owned a PC in all life & it wasnt until last sept when i had my 1st pc built for me & i have some amazing friends who remote my PC to set up all the technical side of things plus they have patience to put up with constant asking of questions lol .. yes the MM is off & im not sure where the Beta is lurking ? i have installed into the Dats folders as in your video but it wont show up in game, but thats good to know that its 100% compatable as i do like both of these add on & def adds a more awesome feel to the game :D i just hate this fps drop as its really having adverse effects on my gameplay .. oh another thing i think might be an issue? is ive lost the word font style after recent updates of ffxi & i cant seem to get them back, again i think that might be another issue im having? as for in game stuffs .. shadows are off, animation frame set to 0, on screen charecters set to 0, footstep focus off plus all the other things to help maintain steady FPS rates none of it helps ah nice thats handy as i didnt know that either as they are some of my best trusts i use so its super annoying when i use them i can even pull my weapon or lock on so i often get killed from lag as mobs swarm me so lag lock in animation lockout cos of fps struggling to keep up :( edit: omg! wow second i turned off that horrible blur setting it went PING back to 59fps damn .. thanks dude thats awesome i never knew about that setting in game which makes me wonder if theres some other things that arent quite config correctly
There is currently an issue with a new version of XIpivot released by the developer - For now, use version 3.1 which you can find here: github.com/Shirk/XIPivot/releases/tag/v0.3.1
Loving the addon! I do experience a problems though, whenever I alt tab out of FFXI and alt tab/click back into FFXI, the game will freeze up, and I have to keep switching windows to try and unfreeze it.
Good content. I managed to load it, but I notice my game is not as smooth movement wise, or maybe FPS wise. I'm using Windower with HD-Basic, any tips appreciated.
You can indeed! Same steps should all apply but you'd have to be using WIndower/Ashita rather than the normal boot mod - Google FFXI Windower/Ashita for more information on that though! :)
sorry for so many comments.. I got it working now just need to mess with resolution more I think because some things dissapear on me like my command window during battle
Thanks for the work, i did everything like the video but nothing work for me, i play wings private server with ashita i add ashenbubshd-prime and xipivot the past version but nothing when zone
do you need to install windower to install ashenbubs HD? Please do make a newer video showing step by step For Example, requirements to install AshenbubsHD, is windower required? do we need to install windower and Ashita first? And also I did not see a addons folder in my FFXI folder A lot of us are not programmers, so we need baby steps to get this installed. Great job on the mod, but definitely make a better tutorial, cause that tutorial is more for people that know what they're doing. A lot of us are not computer programmers =D
@@Ashenbubs • I can pretty guarantee that he didn’t use 7-Zip to Extract all files. I had the same issue so watched NextGames upload again showcasing How to make FFXI Beautiful in 2021 then realized.
so heres my consensus on the pack if your not using reshade this does make the game look better, if your using reshade with levels, clarity, lumasharpen, vibrance. it will get you near the same effect without the whole download and the colors will pop slightly more. cause i honestly see no diff in escha ruann between my 2 chars. one with it on and other with it off.
k after some looking in diff zones its slight changes to the grounds / world giving it a zelda pastel look. atleast when comparing the wood planks in norg. also looks like you made certain walls downgraded with less bricks as well as made them bump out more compared to the original.
This guide needs to be updated for ashita. everything is completely wrong. The macros are not the same. its not /console, its /pivot and you need an older version of xipivot for it to work. You're confusing a lot of players with this guide.
Hi there. I’m sorry you’re having issues following a guide. I believe you’re watching the Windower half and not the Ashita part. I mention that the macro is different in Ashita. I’m sorry if this is confusing for you.
@@Ashenbubs I'm aware of the ashita half. they're different yes but a new player wouldn't know what is different about the macros. I figured I had to change the /console to just /pivot. Also the xipivot is out of date or not working. This will also confuse new players on installing for ashita. They won't know why the HD package is not working. The overlays don't activate in the pivot command window. That's why I said this guide must be redone for ashita users.
Bless you for doing this. I've heard you've had some negative experience with some of the XI community and that breaks my heart. Just know that you're appreciated by a lot of people I've talked to!

If the + doesn't do anything, it sounds like you may have not extracted the .rar file into a folder - Your folder path should look like: Windower/addons/XIpivot/data/DATs/AshenbubsHD-Basic/ROM (all 10 folders, ROM, ROM2, ROM3, ROM4, etc should be here with ROM)
would love to be able to get this working but it just wont happen, i've got it in the exact same folder, relogged, loaded xipivot, zoned, hell i've even redownloaded everything, it just will not work, when i //lua l xipivot the overlays thing is just blank, its in c/me/downloads/addons/xipivot/data/DATs and nothing, tried multiple times
Thanks so much for you work on this! Any chance you could tell me how you split the text out of enemybar and moved the text like you have it?
Question regarding XIPivot using Ashita. Have installed everything and followed ashenbubs video guide. But when i get in game and do /pivot to add overlay i can see my available overlay and click on the add option but it does not move to Active overlays. Can anyone help me with this or point me in the direction i might be able to find an answer?
Hey Brandon - Have you unzipped the files into that location, or have you moved the downloaded .rar file there instead? If you unzip the contents of the install there, that should work - If all else fails, I have a discord that you can join via the information above :)
Hi, I used both winrar and winzip but when I try to unzip it says corrupted :( help
Downloaded the prime version. how come it shows as a .rar file? and in the vid its in a folder? im on Ashita. I put the .rar file in a folder then put that into a DATs folder. It shows up as available overlay but when i click + it doesn't activate.
.rar is a zipped file like .zip, you’ll need to extract the contents of the folder into the DATs folder, and not the .rar file itself.
What did you do to reduce the size of the log window? Its so much cleaner.
Hi, what is the difference between this and Amelila's? Thank you!!
It's visually very different - Mine focus' on keeping the aesthetic the same to the original - without replacing textures for real life materials such as wood/plants/stone/brick/etc. Mine will give a sense of familiarity. It's personal prefence though.
@@Ashenbubs Wow, Thank you for the fast response. Will def. check it out.!!!!
How did you get your 11 to show in the 14 overlay
It's too bad this isn't compatible with the job master star dat from Jeanpaul. I installed the job master star dat file and the game crashes instantly when my character loads into Bastok.
That pack will crash your game unless it’s the had an update from January. FFXI added new icons to the game in that update and some other mods have not updated their files to reflect this. Causing crashes in starter towns.
For more information on that other mods issues, read here:

Question sir:
Can I use the HD textures if I am not using Windower or Ashita, they are not recommended rightÉ
You can, yes - You can copy the ROM folders directly over your existing ones in your install directory - But I'd recommend making a backup via copy/paste first.
@@Ashenbubs Was looking into this video:
ruclips.net/video/LAs6SCgj8Dg/видео.html
Is it really worth using the Ameiliaès Upscale if I am using your 4x prime version
I want my UI to look like this aswell, do u have a video on it?
Is there a way to back up my files to use this without XIpivot? I'm on Nasomi and on that server that addon isn't allowed.
Thank you, I'm excited to use this and the pack looks beautiful!
I'm trying to use this on the wings server and I keep getting micro stuttering, is there anything I can do to fix this?
Turn mipmapping off (0), or to 1-2 at the very least.
Hey bro ! Thanks for this is awesome !!!
Thank you for your hard work! Any chance of a Google Drive upload as Nexus Mods is really slow :)
i can see the windows or what are you doing
Does this have any conflicts with the FFXI HD Overhaul by Amelila?
Yes and no. This pack is 100% all textures whereas that one is far far less. It won’t conflict, there’s just not much point in using both.
Im on ashita and my directory path isn't like that at all. How do I edit that?
Solution for Ashita is in a reply, for when the user PrimeTime asked. Too long to retype.
the only way i can get this to work is by transfering the files directly into my main installation folder, however by doing this some of the items i was carrying were blacked out so i couldnt even know what items they were, had to recover my original files through steam
does thsi replace the Dgvoodoo or run alongside it? as im having real nightamre with my FPS right now whenever iam near other players or in high dense pop zones. i have windower4, FFXIView,XIpivot,FFXI-HD & your ashenbubs beta but it only seems to want to use the beta over basic or prime? i followed your guide & even changed the overlay scripts in the script files but my FPS is utter garbage drops from smooth 59.8fps to a sluggy 7fps whenever iam near other gamers (im not on laptop im on desktop PC with Nvidia 2060 super RTX card)
EDIT: just ran little experiment then.. it seem that trusts with II like Lion II or Prishe II etc (when they have that blocky aura around them) the will utterly destroy your fps rates to single digits ive also just set POL FFXI even windower4 ot ultra in my Pc settings menu now but thats not making any differences so i wonder if its Dgvoodoo & your ashen program hating each other?
Hello! Few things to go through here - Remove the Beta if you're using Basic/Prime, you won't need it anymore - If you experience FPS drops, turn MipMapping off - It runs alongside DGvoodoo. The aura effect you mention is a PS2 graphic effect that never looked good on PC, it's on all avatars and any trusts which are tier II, you can turn it off via an in-game setting which is: "/localsettings blureffect off"
@@Ashenbubs thing is im uttely clueless over these things so im trying to learn as ive owned a PC in all life & it wasnt until last sept when i had my 1st pc built for me & i have some amazing friends who remote my PC to set up all the technical side of things plus they have patience to put up with constant asking of questions lol .. yes the MM is off & im not sure where the Beta is lurking ? i have installed into the Dats folders as in your video but it wont show up in game, but thats good to know that its 100% compatable as i do like both of these add on & def adds a more awesome feel to the game :D i just hate this fps drop as its really having adverse effects on my gameplay .. oh another thing i think might be an issue? is ive lost the word font style after recent updates of ffxi & i cant seem to get them back, again i think that might be another issue im having?
as for in game stuffs .. shadows are off, animation frame set to 0, on screen charecters set to 0, footstep focus off plus all the other things to help maintain steady FPS rates none of it helps
ah nice thats handy as i didnt know that either as they are some of my best trusts i use so its super annoying when i use them i can even pull my weapon or lock on so i often get killed from lag as mobs swarm me so lag lock in animation lockout cos of fps struggling to keep up :(
edit: omg! wow second i turned off that horrible blur setting it went PING back to 59fps damn .. thanks dude thats awesome i never knew about that setting in game which makes me wonder if theres some other things that arent quite config correctly
Anyone know of a usable guide for installing and using xpivot and then ashenbubs on ashita?
nope lol
So do you have to zone to get this to work?
For some reason it wont load the textures even after zoning multiple times.
There is currently an issue with a new version of XIpivot released by the developer - For now, use version 3.1 which you can find here:
github.com/Shirk/XIPivot/releases/tag/v0.3.1
@@Ashenbubs ok it works with this one :D
Is there a way i can have this autoload on login ?
Loving the addon! I do experience a problems though, whenever I alt tab out of FFXI and alt tab/click back into FFXI, the game will freeze up, and I have to keep switching windows to try and unfreeze it.
Good content. I managed to load it, but I notice my game is not as smooth movement wise, or maybe FPS wise. I'm using Windower with HD-Basic, any tips appreciated.
Turn off MipMapping and supersampling in your settings.
@@Ashenbubs Cool. In Windower Super Sampling is already off. Bump Mapping is off. Mip Mapping is set to None
Is this still relevant nowadays? Would love to use it for a returning player!
Yup~ Project is all up to date and complete with retail
miss a step , i must have FFXI already install? If yes, there is a way to have it for free?
download it from playonline. make sure you get the right region, USA Europe or Japan.
@@rd400d thanks but i cant find the windower folder for xpivot
i only have FFXI folder with the ROM folders and others, but missing windower and data folders
I have the retail, but I have it on Steam... Can I still implement this into my game?
You can indeed! Same steps should all apply but you'd have to be using WIndower/Ashita rather than the normal boot mod - Google FFXI Windower/Ashita for more information on that though! :)
sorry for so many comments.. I got it working now just need to mess with resolution more I think because some things dissapear on me like my command window during battle
Thanks ash you are the top dog.
No problem GJ, hope you’re doing well mate.
Thank you very, very much!
It looks fantastic! But why does everyone have blue eyes :(?
Good stuff!
Thanks for the work, i did everything like the video but nothing work for me, i play wings private server with ashita i add ashenbubshd-prime and xipivot the past version but nothing when zone
Very nice and thank you! Can I get these to work on Eden? (private server)
Yup! They’ll work on all private servers!
Thank you
Extremely Small even at full screen. Text was very hard to read
Mine ends with Ashita not dats
I would kill for a font outside of the default, which just looks like broken PS2 letters

I’ve got my font over on NexusMods as a separate download.

do you need to install windower to install ashenbubs HD?
Please do make a newer video showing step by step
For Example, requirements to install AshenbubsHD, is windower required? do we need to install windower and Ashita first?
And also I did not see a addons folder in my FFXI folder
A lot of us are not programmers, so we need baby steps to get this installed. Great job on the mod, but definitely make a better tutorial, cause that tutorial is more for people that know what they're doing. A lot of us are not computer programmers =D
Any idea why this would work using a TV with HDMi cord from laptop, but does not work on the laptop monitor by itself?
Yeah this was no help what so ever, all the files you claim that are suppose to be in specific folders arent there or are different.
2:30 - “If there isn’t a folder named this here, create one”.
@@Ashenbubs • I can pretty guarantee that he didn’t use 7-Zip to Extract all files. I had the same issue so watched NextGames upload again showcasing How to make FFXI Beautiful in 2021 then realized.
THIS GAME IS PERFECT THE WAY IT IS.......................................................................................................
so heres my consensus on the pack if your not using reshade this does make the game look better, if your using reshade with levels, clarity, lumasharpen, vibrance. it will get you near the same effect without the whole download and the colors will pop slightly more. cause i honestly see no diff in escha ruann between my 2 chars. one with it on and other with it off.
k after some looking in diff zones its slight changes to the grounds / world giving it a zelda pastel look. atleast when comparing the wood planks in norg. also looks like you made certain walls downgraded with less bricks as well as made them bump out more compared to the original.
This guide needs to be updated for ashita. everything is completely wrong. The macros are not the same. its not /console, its /pivot and you need an older version of xipivot for it to work. You're confusing a lot of players with this guide.
Hi there. I’m sorry you’re having issues following a guide. I believe you’re watching the Windower half and not the Ashita part. I mention that the macro is different in Ashita. I’m sorry if this is confusing for you.
@@Ashenbubs I'm aware of the ashita half. they're different yes but a new player wouldn't know what is different about the macros. I figured I had to change the /console to just /pivot. Also the xipivot is out of date or not working. This will also confuse new players on installing for ashita. They won't know why the HD package is not working. The overlays don't activate in the pivot command window. That's why I said this guide must be redone for ashita users.
