Noticed a bizarre behaviour. Dunno who the culprit is but I think it's Shortcuts
I just noticed that in my keybinds I had the spell "Animus Minuo" bound as /ma "Animus: Minuo" <me>, notice the colon.

Normally (with shortcuts unloaded) such command would produce error.
With Shortcuts loaded it would instead work, BUT, it would not proc Gearswap at all. Basically the spell was launching without precast/midcast.
If I were to type //animusminuo no problem at all instead, Gearswap would work as expected.

Timers is putting the buffs with the longest duration at the top of the list, and the shortest at the bottom. With lots of self cast buffs up this tends to result in things wearing while I can't even see their timer. Since they got pushed off the visible list by things like reraise/pro/shell, etc.

Is there a config option somewhere to change the buff list priority, or does this need to be a bug report on github?

EDIT:Hmmm. It may actually be listing them in the order they were first used. You just tend to put the longer lasting stuff up prefight.

**Sechs** · 2014-10-19 10:25

There are 3 sorting methods for Buffs, in case you didn't know.
You can also increase the number of displayed stuff.

**Martel** · 2014-10-19 10:35

I did just find the sort type setting. But had no way to know what the other sort types were. Is there some place I can look at documentation on timers? My searches haven't found anything.

I think 8 displayed buffs is fine, as long as the 8 I can see are the ones closest to wearing. btw, what are the 3 sort type? Creation and...?

EDIT:Ok, found it in the master changelog.

Timers 3.3.0.5 - Motenten

Add new pref for sorting order (Creation, Duration, Alphabetical)

We really should put that in the XML file... if you create an issue for it, I'll add it in another Timers version.

I have a question about Gear Collector
Would some major change be possible in the future?
Currently the only setting available is to make GC ignore certain repository. Basically an On/Off switch.

Would it be possible to allow a deeper range of settings to be stored into an XML?
For instance:
1) Being able to assign a certain repository to a certain category of item (Head equipment, Body Equipment, Consumable, Craft, other etc)
2) Being able to create lists of items, and make so GS not only knows where to find a certain item (he doesn't really need to) but knows where to PUT a certain item when he has to take it off the player's inventory.

**Arcon** · 2014-10-20 06:08

GC itself will likely receive no such update, but there is some talk of making a Lua version that could be adjusted to work differently. The only GC update I still have planned is to make it read files from the GS folder in addition to files in the SC folder.

Ok got a crashdump of what happens when I get a nvida driver error that kills all copies of PoL. Just want to confirm that its not a windower problem and that it is a issue with how the game interacts with newer drivers and such. I have the crash dump from the other two characters as well if needed. This has been plaguing me since Legion was introduced.

My brother just got a GTX 760 and started crashing with the latest driver (344.xx I think), with plain vanilla FFXI (no Windower, no dat mods, nothing). I have a GTX 550 Ti with 332.21 driver and don't crash at all with Windower and map dats. Maybe try downloading 332.21 from nvidia's site and see if that helps.

That dump does not indicate a Windower issue. As usual, that does not necessarily mean it's not caused by Windower, although it is unlikely. Can you see if it happens with vanilla as well? Or is it too rare/random to test?

I can force it while standing with more than one character pointing towards the proto crysta, rakazanar skirmmish, incursion boss, ark fights or one of the legion halls. Obviously can't dual box on vanilla but I'll give it a shot tonight since if this can be remedied that would be a huge annoyance off my shoulders for tri-boxing and crashing.

Over the years I've tried a ton of drivers with my gtx 295 and never fixed the issue. Now that I have a gtx 770 I cannot use the older kinda more stable drivers. I've tried all avaible normal and beta drivers available for my current card with all similar results

I just learned about the "Unlimited" plugin last night. A bunch of LS members were raving about it.... 60 FPS, where was this 10 years ago. D:

I did an Incursion run with LS still keeping a minimum of 45-50 FPS..... this is godly.... BEST...PLUGIN....EVER.....THANK YOU.

**Arcon** · 2014-10-22 06:48

This has actually been around for a rather long time, just not as a Windower plugin

You can also uncap the frame rate entirely in the settings, but that will max the CPU usage and it actually feels less fluid in certain situations, because the animation speed is timed to your frame rate and the constant shifting feels like it's lagging, despite still being much faster than normal.

**Byrthnoth** · 2014-10-22 06:49

It will also DC you when you zone if you fully uncap it, potentially.

**Arcon** · 2014-10-22 15:05

I have yet to experience that myself, but I can imagine that happening if you have a lot of complex and expensive pre-render events registered, so it probably depends on how many addons you have loaded. Something could be done against that, if we identify the problem, as it is most likely a specific addon that makes it happen.

**caalibeandip** · 2014-10-22 17:30

does anyone know how the plastic surgery thingy works? sick of my hair hanging out of all my head pieces >.>

**Arcon** · 2014-10-23 00:32

Not entirely sure, but you should use the DressUp addon instead.

**Draylo** · 2014-10-23 08:54

That should have been fixed three days or so Ago
