http://resources.windower.net/data/ - but, this is where the updateresources command pulls them from, so it's possible you're experiencing an issue with updateresources as well.

Delete the resources/ folder entirely, and then launch ff again, see if the folder gets recreated. If it does, check items_weapons.xml for chatoyant - if still doesn't appear, replace all the .xmls in your local folder with that link.

Thanks, I just downloaded those manually. As for the //updateresources command, I have no idea. The text in the console would have led me to believe it updated properly, but the resource files I had afterward were all from 6/13/2012.

Wrong place for me to ask maybe? Binder and maybe spellcast plugin related.

Motenten's Scholar R3 spellcast uses ClassTriggers to execute stratagems. To use the AoE statagem, one has to input //classtrigger AOE in their macro (or command line) instead of /ja Accession/Manifestation.

I added this as an alias in my init.txt file:

Code:

alias g15v2_m1g5 input //ClassTrigger AOE;

'g15v2_m1g5' is the G5 key on my G15v2 keyboad - '//ClassTrigger AOE' activates whatever AOE statagem that is available to me based on whether I'm under Light or Dark Arts.

Save my init.txt, start up POL/FFXI, hit G5 - nothing happens.

If I open up the windower console and cut and paste the same alias from my init.txt file while I'm in game AND THEN hit G5 - works as it should.

What am I missing? I would like to be able to hit my various G keys when a sch stratagem is needed without needing to add them into the windower console whenever I login. Any help is appreciated.

Forward slashes need to be escaped via a backslash in exec/init.

Furthermore, why are you using input //whatever from an alias? It's redundant, you can just alias windower commands directly instead of going through the whole 'input //' part.

**|Heretic|** · 2012-08-12 23:25

Thank you thank you. I never had a need to use aliases before, ignorant that I didn't need the input part I suppose.

It's like error 14001 or something, I forgot.

Then also wondering if anyone has the files to make Apradar2 work properly again. I hate not having radar...

I hadn't heard of Attainment till you mentioned it, and now that I've read about it, I want to use it. I may play with it during my lunch break. If I get it to work, I'll tell you what I did.

Also, I still use the latter, but only at home; I haven't set it up on my work PC, though I should. What happens when you try to use it?

EDIT: Well, after an hour of troubleshooting, I could not get Attainment to work—ever. Considering that there aren't any file placement, security, or other such issues preventing it from running, and that every other plugin I have loads up just fine, I'm going to presume that there's something wrong with the DLL itself.

Why the fuck can't POLUtils find the .exe file when I download it? I have tried:

Downloading both 64 and 32 bit (I have 64bit)
Searching through program files (x86, the path it downloads to; the Pebbles folder doesn't even show up)
Searching through entire computer for "polutils.exe" with no success
Running POLUtils through desktop shortcut (I get the "cannot find polutils.exe") and "run polutils" after you finish downloading it

what the actual fuck

File goes in here:
..\Windower\plugins\settings\PetTP.xml

This is what you should have inside, and it works changing the respective values here:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<settings>

<global>
<xPos>613</xPos>
<yPos>985</yPos>
<font>Arial</font>
<fontSize>10</fontSize>
<textA>255</textA>
<textR>255</textR>
<textG>255</textG>
<textB>255</textB>
<backgroundA>190</backgroundA>
<backgroundR>0</backgroundR>
<backgroundG>0</backgroundG>
<backgroundB>0</backgroundB>
<autoColor>true</autoColor>
<bold>false</bold>
<bgVisible>true</bgVisible>
</global>


</settings>

**ArchDizzle** · 2012-09-01 01:25

Thank you, somehow the xml got moved out of the settings folder that seemed to be the hiccup.

For those that don't monitor the windower site, a couple new plugins have been released over the past couple weeks.

http://forums.windower.net/topic/214...lugins-binder/
Binder is a replacement for the classic G15Binder plugin, with new features, and support for a much wider array of devices.

This plugin monitors your chat log for hints from chests to make opening them a bit easier. It does not automatically open chests, it just makes suggestions as shown below.

So, I went on windower website to find a looping macro to skillup enhancing while asleep or afk. I found one and modified it very slightly (removed the binding of escape to cancel the macro and changed how long I rest between sets) but so far it has crashed 3 straight times after completing 7 sets of spells (goes through group 1-11 7 times then crashes). Can anyone find the problem?

Most moved to using spellcast over windower script just because of crashing issues: http://pastebin.com/u/Milkmanskid

Aureus has a new plugin for blocking bazaars you do not wish to view: http://forums.windower.net/topic/216...gins-bazblock/

Iryoku has a plugin that tracks how much time you've spent within a zone (I think?): http://forums.windower.net/topic/215...ins-zonetimer/

Have at em.

**Julian** · 2012-11-18 07:12

Uh, isn't zonetimer old? Or does this do something new over the old one?

**Yugl** · 2012-11-18 07:14

Seems so, but they probably reuploaded/fixed the plugin; not really sure.

**Julian** · 2012-11-18 07:15

Documentation on some of those posts really leaves something to be desired. Oh well.

Also, this looks like a temporary (?) Spellcast guide for those that don't want to keep using the archived version: http://forums.windower.net/topic/213...66#entry216066
