Windower Problems with 5/9 Update

[nitsuj]

Chatmon confirmed bugged out and Spellcast reporting "InInCombat" error are known issues.

Please post other broken issues here for us to look into.

EDIT: Spellcast and Blinkmenot updates released: http://forums.windower.net/forum/5-p...datesreleases/

You probably already know this, but things like //Drakesbane are bugged in built-in FFXI macros used for spellcast, but not typed out or bound to a key. A quick fix for the macro is /console Drakesbane, that does the same thing and works.

It's been temperamental since the update. First time I logged in it hung at the downloading data screen and crashed. Relogged with no autoloaded plugins and it was fine. I was in Port Jeuno and a few other people had mention this happened to them as well. While reinstalling XIView and FFXIVision a window kept popping up saying that Windows was configuring FFXI, then it went away, and I haven't seen it since. I've relogged at least a dozen times tonight and at least half the time it seemed like there was a problem. Couple times POL was real slow loading FFXI. But every time I'd relog it seem fine again. Wish I could be more specific, but like I said. Temperamental.

//.txt macros don't work, but they work if you change them to /console exec .txt. //cancel won't work, but /console cancel will. Haven't noticed anything else yet.

Whipped out my NPC, engaged something in Promyvion (quest), and the game froze and crashed just as I delivered the killing blow. Spellcast was working fine up to that point. Then I re-started windower, logged back in, and Spellcast wouldn't work.

I shut down, restarted, spell cast works again.

I had no issues at all last night with typing "//c3 de" and getting the expected spell on the expected person. I never had to reload spellcast, never had to shutdown/reboot/quit the game and come back in, it worked from my first login until I went to bed. Logged in, about 5 minutes later someone said something about //updateresources being available, so I did that, but even before updateresources, it was swapping gear just fine.

If SE found a way to break spellcast or detect it and ban you, would you all quit, or play the game like everyone else?

[Nameless]

You mean everyone else being maybe less than half the population.

2.44 is currently out.

Good luck.

Think this speaks for itself; we'd all be banned.

Surprisingly enough some people refuse to use it. Why, though, is beyond me. That said..lolPS2/XBox.

Last night I did a few KCNM runs (3man). After entering the BC, I was unable to move my character. I was able to tab around selecting party members, but character was rooted in place. I was able to fix this by changing any equipment. Anyone else experience this problem?
Same problem occurred when I exited the BC. However this problem never happened outside of zoning in between KCNMs.

I'm not sure if it's windower related, but last night I had an issue where I was suddenly unable to target anything for like 5-10 minutes. Could move/use menus as normal, but no targetting keys worked at all. Resolved itself somehow without relogging.

We'd just come on BG and troll people, too.

Please don't do this in my thread, thank you.

//.txt macros don't work, but they work if you change them to /console exec .txt. //cancel won't work, but /console cancel will. Haven't noticed anything else yet.

Figured it out

[Firedemon]

/console exec Thunder4.txt

[Esvedium]

/console exec Thunder4.txt

Change one of the slashes to console.

2.44 still cant //provoke with macros have to /con provoke. Not too major, but shorthanding macros saves some time too

I haven't tried it, but does //c1 work in macros (alias) or do you gotta do /con c1 for that too?

[Byrthnoth]

Also, has //c6 ever worked?

[Eeeks]

Last night, I wasn't able to target someone and cast Raise with just //raise (poor bastards were trying to kill Resheph with a pickup...very messy). I had to add the first few letters of their names. I don't do anything too intensive with Windower/Spellcast though (like multiboxing with dualsend), so it's not really a problem for me.

I'll download and try out the new Spellcast when I get home. Many thanks to those who keep Spellcast, and Windower in general, updated. <3

the spellcast update only fixed the IsInCombat bug I think. What did SE do to our macros
