Raid Boss Warnings for FFXIV - Setup Guide

1. Install ACT

Follow this video to install and setup Advanced Combat Tracker for FFXIV:

2. Download Required ACT Plugins

• hibiyasleep's OverlayPlugin - https://github.com/hibiyasleep/OverlayPlugin/releases
• Grab the latest OverlayPlugin-x.x.x.x-x64-full.zip file
• Cactbot - https://github.com/quisquous/cactbot/releases
• Grab the latest cactbot-x.x.x.zip file

3. Unzip and copy Plugins to ACT Folder

• Create the folder - C:\Program Files (x86)\Advanced Combat Tracker\OverlayPlugin
• Copy files within OverlayPlugin-x.x.x.x-x64-full.zip into: C:\Program Files (x86)\Advanced Combat Tracker\OverlayPlugin
• In cactbot-x.x.x.zip there is a folder named OverlayPlugin  add the files in that folder to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Advanced Combat Tracker\OverlayPlugin

4. Enable OverlayPlugin

1. Click "Browse" and select OverlayPlugin.dll within C:\Program Files (x86)\Advanced Combat Tracker\OverlayPlugin
2. Click "Add/Enable Plugin"

5. Add Cactbot Overlays

I use 3 types of Cactbot Overlays:

1. raidboss - For raid boss warnings and timers
2. dps - For dps meters
3. oopsyraidsy - Mainly to show who got hit by avoidable damage

To add them:

• Click on "New" under the OverlayPlugin.dll tab, give it a name and most importantly, select Cactbot for Type:

• Once added:
• Set "Dps update interval seconds" to 3 for each one
• For "URL" select these files for the respective overlay:

• raidboss
  C:\Program Files (x86)\Advanced Combat Tracker\OverlayPlugin\cactbot\ui\raidboss\raidboss.html
• dps
  C:/Program Files (x86)/Advanced Combat Tracker/OverlayPlugin/cactbot/ui/dps/rdmty/dps.html
• oopsyraidsy
  C:/Program Files (x86)/Advanced Combat Tracker/OverlayPlugin/cactbot/ui/oopsyraidsy/oopsyraidsy.html
• You will notice that the overlays show on screen, you may drag the top of the overlays to position them. Dragging on the bottom-left corner of each overlay resizes them.
• Once you are happy with their position, check "Lock overlay"

5. Enjoy the enhanced raid experience
