Random Question Thread XXI: You're Not My Random Question Thread Dad

[Radec]

Thanks. I should have been more specific on one point. I will generally be dual boxing with WHM, so I can cover the Staff + club. So, excluding staff and club does WAR still come out ahead?

Excluding staff and club, still a tie without event items. Either end up missing raiden shadow freeze or ei jinpu koki

Edit, /muchlater - LSMate had a decent idea, if you don't have raiden freeze shadow (aka you pick nin) you know right away if you get a thunder/ice read that you can't trigger, and can potentially deagg the mob off the nin before the whm acts, leaving the whm close to claim soon as idle.

Asked this before and either didnt get any help or missed it.

Trying to get my 360 controller to work on ffxi and when i go to config it Triggers, Dpad, and right stick don't work anyone know how to fix this?

edit: Nvm seem to got it to work now.

Does anyone know what drops the Odious Talisman used to spawn Taquede (the Sune-ate NM) in Dyna-Beaucedine?

[Yugl]

Here's a grand one: All sets for MNK?

[Mrbeansman]

What mob names do I change in Zhayolm Remnants so I can see what mobs drop cells?

Downloaded spellcast and a NIN xml, I put it in windower > plugins > Spellcast folder. how do I load it in game?

[Jem]

//load spellcast

[Yugl]

Should automatically load if you named it nin.xml.

[Diddy Kong]

I have spellcast loaded, but the xml isn't working. Is there a way to manually load the xml, and unload it? I don't want to use it on my MNK, just NIN for now.

[Jem]

When you load spellcast it should check your job and if you're on MNK it won't use it. If you're on NIN it will. When you job change it performs that check again.

[Diddy Kong]

lol found the problem. It was named nin.xml as a txt file. thanks anyways.

So I can just unload it when I change to monk and be gravy?

Edit: One more question, how do I edit it once it's already saved as a xml if I get a new piece of gear?

[Miroku_Asura]

I play on a 1920 x 1200 monitor and whenever I summon an avatar, it's summoning circle underneath it is an oval instead of a circle- My aspect ratio is 16x10 which is correct, so I have no idea why it's squished- is this just a thing that happens if you play with widescreen settings?

Here's a pic- had to crop for BG bucket:

Spoiler: show

You don't need to unload it. When you job change spellcast will automatically stop using it. Everytime you job change it checks your job and uses the correct xml for that job. If there is no xml for that job it just uses nothing instead.

You can just edit it in notepad like a text file.

Spellcast will look up a .xml for your current job every time you change jobs in following order:

1. CharacterName_MainJob_SubJob.xml
2. CharacterName_MainJob.xml
3. MainJob_SubJob.xml
4. MainJob.xml

So if you have separate .xmls for multiple characters or different subjobs, name accordingly.
e.g. "taube_blm_rdm.xml"

"//sc r" reloads the xml for your current job
"//sc f <filename.xml>" lets you manually load a particular .xml

Spellcast @ windower.net

...And like was said above, edit it like a text file. Just remember to save it as a xml.

If you don't already have a program other than Notepad to edit .xmls, try Notepad++. It color-codes a lot of the syntax, which is quite helpful.

I prefer Sc1 for xml editing. You can either download and install it, or just have the whole program as a .exe (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/scintilla/Sc226.exe) and run it without installing, which is nice if you travel with a thumb drive and xmls on there (back and forth to work, etc) and it also color-codes things, you can collapse/expand sections, etc. Personal preference, but either notepad++ or sc1 is far better than notepad.

Are the NQ zone bosses in the 4 Dynamis town zones duoable with DD + WHM?

[Aihree]

Yes, provided whm/blm or dd/dnc for stun. They can still cast Death. The jeuno one recently fought by me tried to spit death out what seemed like every time it's recast was up.
