VanaClock
This project has been abandoned. The latest version will remain available for download, but please don't ask for new features or OS ports. I am making the source code available under the GNU General Public License.
VanaClock
VanaClock is a clock program for Final Fantasy XI that runs on Mac OS X. It allows you to search for and keep track of certain routine events within the world of Vana'diel. For example, in addition to showing you the current game day and moon phase, VanaClock can tell you what the day and moon phase will be at a certain time in the future. Also, the current status of the airships, ferries, and guild shops are readily available. Lastly, VanaClock includes a time search feature which will allow you to answer questions like, "When is the next full moon?" Or "When is the next Watersday?" Or even "When will it be 10:00 on Lightningsday during a New Moon?"
And no, I have no Windows version. I neither have the tools, know-how nor inclination to port VanaClock to Windows. If you're looking for a Windows version, try this thread on Allakhazam (the 2nd post). And if you're wondering "Why Mac in the first place?" — the development tools are free, creating GUI programs is quick and painless, and I happened to have a PowerBook nearby whenever I played FFXI. ;)
The latest version is 0.9.5.
I've been getting feature requests and I guess that's a good thing (it means people are actually using VanaClock). Unfortunately, I haven't played FFXI for nearly a year now... and really, that translates to having no motivation to work on this project anymore.
I plan to release the source code under the GPL sometime (a change from normal BSD-license usage). Xcode is free. Hopefully some enterprising user will pick it up. (And if someone does, please tell me!)
The most popular (and currently only) feature request I've been getting is for alarms.
Additionally, Chains of Promethia introduced a few more modes of transport. Having the schedule for those would be nice too.
