Install

1. Copy targetaura.dll into ...\plugins\.

Settings are saved to <Ashita>\config\targetaura.ini.

Troubleshooting

The plugin figures out which draw call belongs to your target from a stack signature at draw time. If a future client update shifts that signature and the aura stops appearing (or bleeds onto nearby entities), run /taura calibrate while a visible enemy is targeted, or tweak the gate window under Advanced.

Building from source

Requires Visual Studio 2022 (x86 toolset) and the Ashita v4 plugin SDK (the folder containing Ashita.h).

1. Edit src/build.bat — set VCVARS to your vcvars32.bat and ASHITA_SDK to your Ashita SDK folder.
2. Run src/build.bat from a normal command prompt → it produces targetaura.dll (32-bit; PE machine 0x014C).
3. Copy targetaura.dll into ...\plugins\.

The NM list src/nmnames.h is generated from the mobdb dataset; regenerate it only if that data changes.

Notes

• NM data is derived from the open ThornyFFXI/mobdb dataset and baked in at build time. The plugin needs no data files at runtime.
