Things Broken 5/15

[Evane]

Lol, he went by wikia and it was wrong. Fixed otherwiki so others arent confused.

Funny how he ignored what the Mog said and went to check wiki on how to finish the trial.

Download the latest patch from here and replace the status icon dat in the right folder.

Thank you very much sir.

[Funkworkz]

Thank you very much sir.

You could also run a Check File process before logging into POL to fix it.

Not really something that's "broken" per se...

But has anyone else noticed a delay in using macros on PC? Like before you could easily graze over the alt/ctrl + whatever buttons and hit multiple macros in succession, but now you have to wait for the macro bar to actually appear on screen before the game will register it as being pressed. Might not be too noticeable on some melee jobs, but it is very annoying rolling on cor and doubling.

Best way I can explain it is yes the update makes the macro bar appear a half second quicker when ctrl/alt is pushed, but you cant activate a macro until the bar appears. Very annoying.

Yes, noticed that last night and was pissing me off. I'd rather it go back to the old way if it means there is a delay now. I mean, who really was complaining about that anyway?

[Churchill]

Makes macros worthless IMO. Performing well means spamming macros in quick succession, not waiting for a fucking menu to pop up to be sure it goes off. Just gonna revert all melee jobs to SC now and ws through ctrl+w.

[Prothescar]

Why the fuck even bother bringing melee jobs anymore? Dead weight.

[Churchill]

Needs more meteor

If you're using windower anyways, you can just make a file:

blmmacros.txt:

bind ^1 thunder5
bind ^2 blizzard5
etc

Can bind more keys, including combinations (ie, "bind ^1.." = ctrl-atl-1) and no macro lag.

! alt
@ windows key
# app key (right side between windows key and ctrl, usually)
^ ctrl

you want to know what's broken? i'll tell you what is broken

CORSAIR IS BROKEN!!!

just done dyn-qufim, was doing it for 20k exp cor feet upgrade, first of all, phantom roll recast is 30 sec, second i rolled over 11, 9 times in a row, unable to "bust", ai for rolls seems messed up, i was gettin 11 rolls waaaaaay too often(without snake eyes), way too often was getting lucky rolls, i'd say that i was getting 75% lucky rolls between bolter, rogue, chaos and dancer rolls that i used throughout the run...

overall run was extremely fun for me, was killing Decent mobs faster then i do eps, if i don't get lucky roll or 11 and "bust" then my phantom roll recast is already at zero and i just "keep on rolling baby"
one's time ran out, and i exited... the dream land... phantom roll back to 60 sec and i get the "bust" buff /cry /cry, i want to live in dynamis!!

[Fondue]

r u srs

if you get an xi you can roll the 2nd buff with 30sec recast timer + when you bust it just disappears and you can keep rerolling it until you get another xi

been like that for months man

Assuming im not using spellcast, can these binds also be used to switch gear for WS (via windower macros) as well as use the WS, or would i need to bind two separate keys.

Maybe ill finally break down and start looking into spellcast as something other than an enhancing magic skillup helper.

[Strawhat]

does it also work if you have no buffs on? and 9 times in row man?

[Nekradarken]

SE did a poor job in resizing the old status icons. Some icons are "broken".

You can do w/out spellcast:

bind ^1 exec nukegear_thunder.txt; input /ma "Thunder V" <t>; wait 10; exec idlegear.txt

for example.

About the only difference is that if you changed that <t> to <stnpc> or any of the other <st...>'s, the wait timer would start right away anyways - so if you take 10sec to select your target, you'd cast in idle gear. I'd have to see your macros as they are now to comment more on how to adapt them, though.

This seems to happen every other time they touch any of the status icons regardless.

Dunno how it's so hard for them to check the masking value after the DXTC compresison is done. Also is it me or did they just resize them? There's zero extra detail over the 16x16 versions.

Just did a Kaggen run as whm and I thought I was lagging really bad...


Edit: I posted on the OF, this shit is making me rage. I always lag for graphics intensive events, like vwnm and also legion, and as it is atm, I can barely make my macros go off at all, unless I'm all "press ctrl" "hold... hoooooold" "hit right macro". Really angry right now -.-

[dannyl]

remove shadows and weather effects?

[Kirin]

A solution for all you people like me having slight lag issues with macros.

Go to the FFXI View thread on the windower forums and download the link to update the fonts/macro bar. Stuff works like before. Having zero issues on Dnc right now.

It was simple, but one of the guys on the last page updated just the fonts AND added in the Square versions of the icons so people who borked it from installing FFXI view after the update have a fix now too.
