Our TODO

Our current ideas and feedbacks are in: TODO List

A profile selector (in game) is scheduled to be developed. But since the begining of this project (28 Apr 2020), we have only reached a donation marker of 20$. After so much effort, this plugin is not our priority anymore since we can not make a living from it.

Build yourself

You can build yourself, instructions are here: Build yourselfo

Import triggers

1. Start the game and make sure the plugin is working.
2. On your computer, go to your %userprofile% folder (eg: C:\Users\) folder.
3. The go in the FFXIV\_Vibe\_Plugin folder (or create if it does not exists)
4. Add the triggers file you want to import (eg: MyTrigger.json)
5. In the plugin go to the Triggers tab and click on Import Triggers at the bottom.

That's it. It should load all of the triggers. Note: you can define a custom directory to read/write in the Options tab.

Export triggers

1. On your computre, go to your %userprofile% folder (eg: C:\Users\) folder.
2. Go to the FFXIV\_Vibe\_Plugin folder (or create if it does not exists)
3. In the plugin, go to the Triggers tab.
4. Create your triggers (if they does not exist).
5. Select the trigger you want to export and click on the Export button.

That's it. You should see them in your userprofile directory. Note: you can define a custom directory to read/write in the Options tab.

FAQ

Troubleshooting

Make sure you have the intiface-desktop and not the new Intiface Central.

1. Make sure your toy is not connected to another device (eg: your phone, your browser...). Disable the bluetooth on your phone.
2. Make sure the addon is correctly installed (check the installation process again).
3. Make sure you have the latest version.
4. Upgrade your Intiface by clicking and installing any updates (Settings tab).
5. Make sure the Intiface is up and running. Go to Server status > Start Server. You must have one green icon and one red icon on the top right side of the window.
6. Ingame, make sure the addon is connected to Intiface. Click on connect (in the Connect tab). Now, go back to Intiface. You should have 2 green icons on the top right side of the window.
7. Ingame, make sure the IP is either 127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0 or your real internal IP (eg: 192.168.1.250)
8. Ingame and on Intiface: make sure you are using the same port on both sides. You can try changing it to something else on both sides.

My device is not working correctly

Please make sure to test both Bluetooth and the dongle of the device. Choose the one that works best for you.

My X-Box Controller is not working well

This is not related to this plugin. You probably should not use Bluetooth.

My Lovense Nora is not doing rotations

Please stop using Lovense Dongle. Connect using the Lovense Connect or bluetooth. If you don't have bluetooth please buy a bluetooth 5.0 dongle on amazon for 20$.

The plugin does not connect to Intiface

Please make sure you are doing it right. Make sure you have the intiface-desktop and not the new Intiface Central.

1. Open Intiface and click on the top right side red icon.
2. Uncheck everything but not WebSocket and Bluetooth. WebSocket should have the following text: "on [All Interfaces]:12345"
3. Click on Start Server (now you should have one green icon and one red icon on the top right side).
4. Go to the plugin and click connect (you should have two green icons). If this is not working: please try change the IP Address to 127.0.0.1 or your computer IP Address. Also make sure the port is 12345 or correspond to the one in Intiface.

The device disconnect every now and then.

Please make sure to follow those steps before asking for help:

1. Disable all triggers.
2. Create a new and very simple trigger (eg: vibration on a message). Make sure it is correctly working.
3. Wait twice the amount of time needed to have the issue again. (eg: if it was around 30min, then wait 60min or more).

If it works, then it's a trigger issue from one you have created. If not:

1. Don't stop the game, don't stop Intiface.
2. Turn off and on your controller device.
3. Let it reconnect to intiface (without restarting intiface app).
4. Test your trigger again. If it works, then it probably a bluetooth issue. Nothing we can do about.

How do I share my configuration
