Windower: State of the Project Update! New Plugins!

[Lyltia]

I know exactly how it works and how it is quite possible for a blu/rdm to get to 350 stoneskin naked in abyssea without Atma help.

Funny, my naked Mithra BLU95/RDM47 has Enhancing 138, MND 77+40, which comes out to 299/350~

Yes, 'every time' was an exaggeration. However, if you're casting two damaging spells, instead of one damaging and one sleep/flash/whatever, the mobs then have to resist/evade twice to live, instead of just once; and even if they live through both, they'll have less HP than if they half-resisted CW.

Anyway, you started this by insinuating I use gimp sets or some such shit; yet you concede that I'm killing faster than you are (if only marginally) while carrying a lot less gear. If this doesn't tell you you're carrying around a bunch of marginal shit, I don't know what will.

Less BLU pissing contest, more MSJans talk.

[NynJa]

So in spirit of offering non-negative nancy feedback...
In the echo that follows when you finish your gear change, would it be possible to mark down which pieces of gear were not moved, either because they were in an area the plugin isnt instructed to use or because the item doesnt exist (porter moogle for example)?

[noodles355]

Do you guys know if there's going to be an update to chatmon? Had this error appear in the console whenever someone says something in /say for the longest time. I know you can just disable filters, but was wondering if there was a real fix coming?

Chatmon: Error in Expression: Syntax error at position 5 near (""","mm(o)?g(a)?m(e)?")
Chatmon:: regex(""","mm(o)?g(a)?m(e)?")
Chatmon: Error in Expression: Syntax error at position 5 near (""","o{1,2}sa[l]*e")
Chatmon:: regex(""","o{1,2}sa[l]*e")

Also posted on windower forums, but I might as well bump with this as well...

Some quick updates to these plugins, and download links:
Find
GearCollector
FFOChat

For all 3:
Fixed a bug with settings xml where it wouldn't properly detect a changed character for character-specific overrides.
Added <debugMode> setting. This is used for generating debug logs. To use this:

• Create a directory called 'debug' in your windower\plugins folder.
• Add the setting <debugMode>true</debugMode> to the appropriate settings xml.
• Reload the plugin.

If you are having problems with a plugin, generating a debug log will help troubleshoot that.


FFOChat:
Added new settings:
<showJoins> will, if set to true(default), show all users entering and leaving a channel.
<autoJoin> should contain a comma-separated list of channels to join automatically upon connect.

Added new command:
//chat names <channelNumber> will show the names of everyone currently connected to that channel.

In addition, names of everyone in a channel will be shown automatically upon joining that channel.


GearCollector:
Fixed some crash issues dealing with invalid input or improperly formatted spellcast files. These should now spit out a message to console instead of crashing.
Bank/Locker/Storage will now automatically disable when appropriate.
Added new setting:
<openStorage> determines whether or not to open the item screen when moving items. Note that if this is set to false, auto-sorting will not work.

[Yugl]

Btw Aureus, they should be allowing global access to storage now. I'm not sure if you have accounted for that yet.

[Akyrey90]

Search for "Simple Blue" from Masao, very simple 3rd app and by far fastest (for simulating up-down + enter).
All configuration you will have to do is:
- 1 SpellList xml file with all yur current spells in exact same order
- 1 xml for each spell "set" you want, for example "Breath.xml" "Nukes.xml" "Default.xml" "Solo.xml", etc...

It's a 3rd app tough, not a plugin, ie you still have clik on it from yur desktop and choose which "spell set" you want to load, pretty much like old GearCollector and Exiled, but much much faster.

nvm of the nvm! could i have a link to an updated version if there's one? the one i'm using isnt working properly!

[Tirgen]

Not sure this is the best place to ask - But how about a plugin that dumps a listing of your inventory list into a CSV?

I'm thinking something along the lines of
Item, Location, Quantity
Fire Geode, Mog Sack, 22
Byakko's Haidate, Inventory, 1
Noble Bed, Mog Safe, 1

[nitsuj]

It's important to note that you are not forced to use Gear Collector, and you're not required to post on here with comments telling us that you're not going to use it.

It will eventually allow you to pick where things are stored, because I like to keep all my gear in certain places. But the plugin is not for everyone. If you want to grab your gear in < 10 seconds in exchange for having your stuff in random places, then awesome. Use it. If you want to take 20 minutes to gear up but have your mog locker meticulously organized, more power to you. It's just personal preference.

[Tirgen]

Just to clarify - I'm not ragging on Gear Collector at all-

The plugin I asked for is independent of Gear collector, though inspired by it's utility. I would like to make an attempt at code that will analyze available items (ie everything you 'own') and creates spellcast sets for a selected job

Think along this line - I've got Nin, Mnk and Whm at 95. I level my Thf naked via GoV-Abysea ect and never bother to get gear for it. I don't really care about it, and in days past, I'd just drag it along naked for TH because its a pain in the ass to gear it up. BUT! given that Gear collect makes it really easy to move gear around - I'd be a little bit better off dropping on the 'best' gear I already have for it - If only I didn't have to put in the effort of figuring out what the best gear I have is and then write spellcasts for it... (which is where write some code with basic rules comes to mind for me)

[Mojo]

I'm having issues getting this to work.

I have reduced my XML to the simplest form to just try and get it working and see where the problem is, but even this won't work.

Spoiler: show

It's important to note that you are not forced to use Gear Collector, and you're not required to post on here with comments telling us that you're not going to use it.

It will eventually allow you to pick where things are stored, because I like to keep all my gear in certain places. But the plugin is not for everyone. If you want to grab your gear in < 10 seconds in exchange for having your stuff in random places, then awesome. Use it. If you want to take 20 minutes to gear up but have your mog locker meticulously organized, more power to you. It's just personal preference.

I'm glad to hear that it will eventually let you choose where things are stored. That's what I'm looking for.

To elaborate upon why, I do not strictly play on PC. Occasionally, I may log in on an Xbox 360. One of my roommates primarily games on PC, but also uses PS2. Furthermore, there are times when I'm on the road, and I'll use someone else's computer/console, where I may not have control over the plug-ins (if there are any at all).

Because of that, using Gear Collector in its current state and then logging in with a machine where it isn't available would completely defeat the purpose of having used it originally, as the inventory would be entirely scattered. What was quick in one case would become awfully time-consuming in another.

That, of course, is just another reason beyond a general desire to have one's gear organized neatly, which my friends and I also have.

I look forward to the future of the plug-in.

[Sekundes]

I've been using Gearcollector for a week now on my alt since all her gear actually fits in one storage location and it works amazing for that. I actually don't mind switching jobs anytime there is a benefit to doing so.

My main will take some work on my part which is why it hasn't been done yet. GC is perfectly capable of doing what I want but I'm going to have to reorganize sets and make some various adjustments.

Just wanted to say that it's taken the pain out of changing jobs and is pure awesome. Thanks for all the hard work on this.

[Haborym]

Having issues with GearCollector. It loads up fine, and starts but it doesn't collect any gear. I have tried //gc haberym_THF, //gc THF, //gc haberym_THF.xml, //gc THF.xml, and none work.

Any help?

[Byrthnoth]

It doesn't like capitalized tags, so go through and lowercase all of your tags like <Spellcast> -> <spellcast>, etc.

[solanis]

And I get hit sometimes because:

1. I don't have any movement speed for blu.

lol

[kenshyn]

(which is where write some code with basic rules comes to mind for me)

Man the ultimate in lasy lol now in spellcast you have a feature called exportgear all you have to do is put equipment on your thf one time and do //sc exportgear thfthset and it makes the xml out of your current gear. Then you just have to copy that gear into a thf.xml template and your done takes no time and little to no effort.

Exportgear is the best thing they ever added to spellcast imho....

[MarkM.]

Sorry, I know this should probably be in the random question thread, but asking here, is windower still safe and not broken after the last update? Been a few years since I last played.
