• E3's coming up, should be fun.
• Made some updates to the list today, mostly for the file change tool program though. two .ini files were updated for it to support ToAU content. I added NPC_ROM4 for the NPC section, and LordSquall sent me MAP_ROM4. Also, since it was brought to my attention that the face models weren't included in the equipment section, I put copies of them into the FreeList folder. To use these, go to the Free tab and you can load up the lists in the left most column.

• April 23rd '06
• Put the NPC.lst into the zip file, so if you're downloading for the first time just get the big zip file, otherwise just go ahead and get the single updated list file.

• April 19th '06
• Update the NPC list for ToAU. Since it's just one file, I'm only uploading that one. You can download it using this link: NPC.lst. Save this into your OriginalList folder in the Model Viewer folder. To be able to view the ToAU models you'll need to change the Original .DAT path from ROM3 to ROM4 (Note this will make CoP models unviewable till you change it back). There are a few items that will need name corrections and whatnot so send that information my way and I'll get it updated, for now I'm off to finally play the game.

• April 18th '06
• Oops, was a number off for the Mithra's Corsair Hand AF, this has been fixed. Thanks to Mikiru for pointing it out.

• April 17th '06
• Figure I'll put this up now instead of having a 3 day dely like last time. Maintanence gets done in 6 hours of this message. I leave for work in 1 hour. I'm scheduled to be done with work at the same time the maintanence is supposed to be done. However since it is a closing shift I won't get out for another 30~45 minutes after that time. So if there are any more models in todays update, there'll be a slight delay, but hopefully not as long as the delay on getting the 12th's update out.
• Looks like it got pushed back an hour, can't have missed too much, downloading now. I'm gonna combine the 12th's and the 17th as "one" update as far as the model viewer is concerned.
• Alright, list have been updated, didn't add much, just replaced the missing armor sets. I still have generic names on these, so my next step is to go look up the actual armor piece names and the next update will be with the proper names.
• Proper names updated.

• April 15th '06
• Sorry for the delay on putting the lists up on my websites, they had been out since the 13th if you knew where to look. I blame school and work and them making me really tired for the delay.

• April 11th '06
• Ramath has sent me a correction to the Relic Great Katana. It turns out that *Unknown 5 in the Great Katana's section is actually Amanomurakumo. With this correction, I bumped up the *Unknown numbers up a notch. The List-2-20-06.zip link above has been updated with the changes. The exact changes are as follows:
  Amanomurakumo (Relic-5) -> *Unknown 3
  *Unknown 3 -> *Unknown 4
  *Unknown 4 -> *Unknown 5
  *Unknown 5 -> Amanomurakumo (Relic-5)
• Also updated is the Map lists for the File Change Tool thanks to Lord Squall. This change can also be found in the List-2-20-06.zip
• Added an Affiliation section into the links, I'll probably have to organize it better, but for now I need to go to work.

• April 10th '06
• A new .DAT site I stumbled upon last night called Final Fantasy XI Dats. They're striving to be your one stop visit for all your .DAT needs, So if you're a creater, head on over and submit your .DAT mods. I have submitted all of my .dats that are hosted here to the site as well.
• Awhile back I edited the Ancient Blood portrait in my mog house as a demonstration for Arketa. I decided to go ahead and release it for anybody that wants a RDM picture in their Mog House. You can find it on the bottom of the Mods page.
  

• March 20th '06
• Small update today...
  The information revealed at the Fan Festival has pretty much doubled my anticipation for ToAU.
• Go check out Vana'Guide and get yourself an automatically updating signature (FFXI PC only). You'll also find a forums and a nifty database (Items, Equipment, Food, etc) and various guides (Genkei, Renkei, Dynamis, Merits, Campsites, etc). Plus they have many more exciting projects coming down the line, but you'll have to visit to see.
  (Vana'guide was added into the Links section)
• Also, I put up a new way to contact me. You can now leave me voice messages via the power of Odeo. I put a link up to the right of the Contact Me section. If you are in a hurry or just don't feel like trying to type out what you want to say, just leave me a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

• March 1st '06
• *Unknown 1 of Great Axe and Great Sword has been updated to Darksteel Voulge and Darksteel Falx (respectively), thanks to Demajen for that information.
• For the FFXI File Change Tool Users there is an updated effect.lst in the .zip file thanks to Kanachan
• In the Elvaan-M hands list, the Dusk and Koenig names were swapped, this has been fixed. Also, the Yasha Jinpachi (NIN-JSE) has been renamed to Hachiman Jinpachi (SAM-JSE) as the Yasha Jinpachi uses the same model as the Roshijinpachi. These two corrections are thanks to Ithorien.
• Something from me also, Check out the Mods page for a White Mage Wyvern.

• February 22nd '06
• I seemed to have had 2 menus here on the main page, this has been fixed.

• February 20th '06
• Gotta leave for work soon, but I'll see what I can find before I go. Watch the top of this page for updates.
• Had some minor internet problems, but the list has finally surfaced, be sure to double check for any errors I may have made.

• February 19th '06
• Made some minor changes to remove the frames, the old framed page can be found at oldindex.html however, due to changes with the menu, it won't work.
• Bone Deaf has sent me another mod, the Panther Mithra be sure to check it our on the Mods page.
• I'm prepared for tomorrows update, however, the maintanence gets done about an hour before I have to go to work, so depending on how soon they allow you to update before the maintanance is done, I may be delayed a bit with releasing updated list files. And as before, you can use the Red Mage icon on the top left to return to this homepage.

• February 14th '06
• Bone Deaf sent me an update to his Lizard Galka mod, check it out on the Mods page.
• To increase communication options, I signed up for a couple different IM services, You can find the usernames up in the top frame under Contact Me. I thought Phabin was a fairly original name, so I was surprised when both Yahoo and AIM said it was already in use, cookies for you if you figure out what the H stands for. I will try to leave these contacts online as much as possible (even when I'm not at the computer) so if I don't respond to you right away, it's probably because I'm away from the computer, but I'll try to answer you as soon as possible.
• Also, I'm too lazy to find whatever code is necessary to stick a poll directly on my site, so send me your responses via any of the contacts listed above. The poll is, Should I remove the frames on this website or Keep them? This poll will run until saturday, I'll make necessary changes by Sunday if it's voted to remove frames.

• February 9th '06
• Thanks to John, the "??? Jerkin" has been updated to "Dusk Jerkin". List-12-12-2005.zip contains the changes.
• Due to my delay in responding to e-mails, Bone Deaf actually has an updated version of his Black Mage mods already, as well as faces for the Female Taru's as well.
• Screenshots: Males Females
• "Since the previous release I have smoothed out the eyes of the male black mages (now that I have Photoshop) and finished the female Taru faces as well." -Bone Deaf
• Bone Deaf also submitted a Lizard Galka Mod, check it out on the Mods page. Screenshot
• Also, I updated the FFXI FileChangeTool page with some information on the usefulness of the History box.

• February 7th '06
• I think that takes care of most if not all of the e-mails now, if you were waiting for a response from me and you didn't get one, try sending it to me again, I may not have gotten it the first time.
• First up: DOOMer 2k sent me an e-mail saying that the Genbu's shield correction was infact incorrect, so I have updated the list files back to "Shield: Marine/Turtle/Genbu's Shield" and "Shield: *Unknown 03".
• Next: I received a tip from Kaze that the "??? Doublet" is actually the "Cerise Doublet". Both this and the Genbu's Shield have been updated in List-12-12-2005.zip
• Bone Deaf sent me a mod pack entitled: The Black Mages. This pack can be found in the Mods section.
   "Quite simply I wanted to have Black Mages running around instead of the Taru." -Bone Deaf
• And, saving the best for last, A new program to add to the Tools list, FFXI FileChangeTool. This program makes swapping files for FFXI a breeze. Has the ability to swap Equipment, NPC's, Maps, Weapon Skills, Animation Effects, Background Music, and Sound Effects.

• February 4th '06
• Thanks to Fallnax from Allakhazam, The Yasha Sune-ate for Hume-M has been fixed and no longer shows up as Vegabonds Hose. The List-12-12-2005.zip has been updated with the fix, or since just a single file was changed, you can just download Hume-M_Feet.lst. (This goes inside the "List" folder in your Model Viewer folder)

• January 31st '06
• As some of you may have noticed I've been afk to say from the internet since my last update. I've been a bit busy, but things have calmed down somewhat, so I'm back to updating the site again.
• First up is e-mails, I seem to have gotten a bunch in my absence, I'm going to start replying to them now, so for those of you who sent me stuff, expect to see replies soon.
• Next I see they announced a February update, As usual I should be ready for it and have updates to the list files ready by the end of the update day.
• Lastly, more info on ToAU released, it's looking good. Anywho, when it becomes available, I should be preordering it so I can get it as quickly as possible so I can get updated list files specific to ToAU content. Being that ToAU content will most likely be in a Rom4 folder, users will have to manually switch "Original Dat path" to see the content. If this ends up being too confusing for some people, I may add a small note into the list files explaining how to switch from seeing CoP content to ToA content and vice-versa.

• January 13th '06
• list file update today. "Shield: Marine/Turtle/Genbu's Shield" has dropped Genbu and been renamed to "Shield: Marine/Turtle Shield". "Shield: *Unknown 03" has been renamed to "Shield: Genbu's Shield". List-12-12-2005.zip updated to reflect changes. Thanks to DOOMer 2k for the correction.

• January 12th '06
• Small update to the list files today. "Advanced Aern?" has been renamed "Promathia [Combat]" this has been updated in the List-12-12-2005.zip file found above. The only file affected is the NPC.lst file in the OriginalList folder.
• I had a good winter break, didn't spend much time on the computer so sorry for the delay on e-mails I'm just now getting around to responding too.
• Got Animal Crossing: Wild World as a christmas present, e-mail me if you want to exchange friend codes.
• I feel that this news section is getting a tad long, so I made an archive page for older news and will only keep the 15 most recent entries on this page.

• December 13th '05
