Your request is rather vague. I can think of three different "FASTCAST spellcast scrypt[sic]" implementations that have very little to do with each other, but I have no idea what it is you're asking for.

I am looking for a XML, to manage all different type of fastcast in the most efficient way. Ideally for all jobs

I just saw yours Motenten. It does help

Question:
Between Line 415-429 of BLM R3
Since Reraise*/raise*/Arise is a healing (skill) , did you forget the fastcast for them?

[Yugl]

Make an include file and just add the line to every XML.

<include name="Fast Cast Set">
<set name="FC">
<hands>FastCastHands</hands>
</set>
</include>

Add that to your sets

@Yugl
I just downloaded your BLU spellcast and include (im using mote's stuff on 3 other jobs but he doesn't have blu) and I go to start downgrading all the gear to stuff I actually have and ran into strange terminology. In the sets you have some gear listed, but for entire other sets you just have <slot>Example</slot> which I assume is nothing at all.

For resting, i'll just stick in hmp gear, thats a no brainer - so is FullEvasion.

Is there a reason for BlankSet? Whats Direcast-1? Should WS base be things that wont change with other specific WS sets? Etc...

Physical-STR-CA
Physical-STR:ACC-N
Physical-STR:ACC-CA
Physical-Dex-N
Magical-Int-DEX-BA
Magical-INT-VIT-BA
Magical-INT-MND-N
Magical-INT-MND-BA
Magical-INT-INT:MND-N
Magical-INT-INT:MND-BA
Magical-MND-MND
Magical-CHR-CHR
Utsusemi-Precast (fastcast? Haste? Evasion?) Looks like evasion is in midcast but so is PDT?
ConvertSet - ive been rdm, which is the only reason i know what to put here

Also, the Macros im assuming are based off the nonsense spells at the bottom? Is there a list of specific macros i'm supposed to be using? It took me several days to learn there were switches in Mote's stuff for evasion, but here it looks like I just macro Vulcan shot and it toggles all the gear into blankset etc... I guess ill just start throwing gear in slots and see what happens lol.

[Yugl]

1. BlankSet: Used to use layer multiple sets. For instance,
<equip set="TP|$Var1|$Var2" />

If Var1=BlankSet and Var2=BlankSet, you'll onry equip TP set. If Var1 is set to PDT, you will use PDT over your TP set.

2. Direcast: Used to equip Spell Interruption (SI) or PDT gear when casting buffs/enfeebles. Primarily used during Abyssea era to keep PDT/SI gear equipped during sleeps.

3. WS base is pretty much that.

4. Class-Primary Modifier-Secondard Modifier. CA = Chain Affinity.

For instance, Charged Whiskers is Magic+dINT+DEX WSC%. Heavy Strike is Physical+STR WSC%+Requires Accuracy+Chain Affinity up (CA) or not up (N)

5. Utsusemi-Precast is what you equip during Utsu:Ichi casting. You can rotate between different defensive equip like SI, Evasion, and PDT

@Motenten: Having issues with your Spellcast sheet for PLD. Most specifically, it never seems to swap to any form of Engaged gear. I even downloaded a clean copy and tried it, still no dice.

No issues using your include/sheets on other melee jobs.

[Kensagaku]

Wrong thread!

[Yugl]

This this thread for support questions. This thread is mostly for shared XMLs and techniques for speeding up SC for XML creators.

[Kensagaku]

Wrong thread, m'bad. >_< I misread it. Reposting there!

[Kuji-Kiri]

Does anyone happen to have or wanna throw together a Geomancy/Handbell Skillup script?

Very late on this one, but (due to a more detailed comment from someone else) this is probably fixed now.

[mistmonster]

Hey Motenten I was wondering if you could help with your SMN scrip. (which I love btw, so awesome, thank you for all .xmls) I wanted "Kite" mode to switch to gaiters regardless if pet is out or not. I added a "move/kite" section but it doesn't seem to work when I toggle to "Kite". I'm not technical enough to figure this out was just wondering if it could be done?

Thanks for you time

[Motenten]

Add the $Movement set to the end of the line that sets CurrentSet (line 804 in the default version).

[mistmonster]

I tried that but then it keeps the Gaiters on all the time, doesn't matter if kitemode is set to none

[Shadowmeld]

Anyone have a good FASTCAST spellcast scrypt for all jobs?

With all Fastcast gear , Cure spellcasting, Enhancing spellcasting, Elemental , song , blue mage , Tom Staves

IE: My Blm use Fastcast, Curespellcast, Elementalspellcast , enhancingspellcast ( belt )

This is an example of what i'm using right now , but i need to update it. I was thinking make 1 rule for all jobs , instead 1 rule for every jobs but dunno :E

Mrp: here is what you are looking for. I can't post links so I'll just post the code in the thread

For sets, I have fastcastbase with my default fast cast gear.... every other set is fast-%Skill (I.E. fast-elementalmagic or fast-healingmagic). Some spells, like cures with extra gear have specific names, like fast-cure. All fast-%Skill sets have fastcastbase as a baseset. The more specialized ones base off of their respective skill, so baseset for fast-cure is fast-healingmagic.

Here are the rules.

[Motenten]

I tried that but then it keeps the Gaiters on all the time, doesn't matter if kitemode is set to none

Then use $KiteMode instead of $Movement, since KiteMode is a subset of Movement, and the value in Movement is probably getting stuck.

That works perfectly, thank you!

Wrong thread my bad.

[Motenten]

Please use the Spellcast Help Thread, and post your XML on Pastebin.com.

[Taint]

My PLD SC is up and running. Good second option for the first page of XML.
