I've been playing FFXI on and off since the North American release, and one thing that always bothered me was how much time GearSwap users spend digging through Lua files. Over the years I kept wishing there was a way to browse, organize, and manage sets from inside the game instead of constantly tabbing out to edit text files.

I recently resubscribed and decided to see how far I could push the idea using modern AI tools to help prototype and test concepts. What started as an experiment turned into GearTree: a Windower addon that transforms GearSwap Lua files into an interactive in-game gear management system.

Instead of searching through hundreds or thousands of lines of Lua, GearTree lets you browse, inspect, organize, and update gear sets directly inside FFXI. The goal wasn't to replace GearSwap, but to make maintaining and navigating large GearSwap files significantly easier.

Why I Built It

As GearSwap files grow, they become harder to navigate and maintain. I wanted a way to browse and manage large GearSwap files from inside the game without constantly tabbing out to search through Lua files.

One of the primary goals was making it easier to maintain large job files and quickly find, inspect, and update sets while playing.

Recent Update (0.4.1)

  • Shift Mode now uses Shift + Arrow navigation, leaving normal arrow keys available to FFXI.

  • Both features are enabled by default for new installs.

  • Existing users may need to manually enable them because GearTree preserves existing settings files.

I just tried this out. The first time I tried to //gt saveslot ear1, it crashed my game. I decided to try again and it didn't crash me this time.
