The Ashita Project goes live!

***matix*** · 2013-03-17 08:09

This morning I brought suitMeUpScotty to 1.1.x, there has been a major internal overhaul, also there have been new commands added, the ability to load/unload specified profiles, and a debugging mode to help pinpoint errors.

I dislike having paraphrasing that "its spellcast" because while it functions in a similar fashion to the end user, it has some minute differences, the most immediately noticeable difference is that there are no "after-cast's" in this system. Instead of "after-casts", the system is configured to check your current player status(engaged/idling/healing/crafting/etc..), it will then proceed according to the rules given. I have grandiose plans to incorporate a "gearCollecting" feature, and im also toying with the idea to add a feature to let users track their current parsed accuracy, and hence, equip sets based off your average acc%. Should something function not exist that you can think of, I will work with you to create it! I'm interested in creating any requests/functions people desire(any LuaCast requests! it doesn't have to be scotty related~), with Ashita and its LuaCast plugin there is massive amount of things and/or ways i can create helper functions, or create specific conditions to check against. Or just create things! Please mention any specific requests if anyone has any~!

Below i have spoiler'd what an example profile looks like. It us purely an example used to show people how to setup rules, with many --comments to try to clarify how the system works. The code is pretty easy on the eyes, but it can get out of hand fast without a decent editor(Personally i recommend notepad++, ive also heard eclipse supports Lua highlighting and is also popular).

If this looks like something that may interest you, or enhance your experience when using the Ashita windower, please give it a try! I am eager to respond to requests and/or aid anyone with issues. Most of all though, id really like to get some feedback about the plugin in its current state, so that I can plan on what the next step for the plugin will be.

You can find more information, including a full list of features, and commands for suitMeUpScotty at: http://tinyurl.com/suitMeUp

Thank you for reading~ I hope this can help all the Ashita users out there! Do not hesitate to PM me on BG/GW/FFXIAH, or if you are IRC saavy I am most easily reached via IRC in the #fface channel on irc.ffevo.com

If this looks like something that may interest you, or enhance your experience when using the Ashita windower, please give it a try! I am eager to respond to requests and/or aid anyone with issues. Most of all though, id really like to get some feedback about the plugin in its current state, so that I can plan on what the next step for the plugin will be.

You can find more information, including a full list of features, and commands for suitMeUpScotty at: http://tinyurl.com/suitMeUp

Thank you for reading~ I hope this can help all the Ashita users out there! Do not hesitate to PM me on BG/GW/FFXIAH, or if you are IRC saavy I am most easily reached via IRC in the #fface channel on irc.ffevo.com

Not using Ashita currently, so can;t check your script, it looks nice tho. One thought I had, how does it handle instances when you want to equip two of the same item (ie. two Dark Ring)? Spellcast had some problems with that.

I will do some testing to make sure it has no issues, it "shouldnt" due to how the equip strings are sent, but that is something I didn't think about. Thanks, I'll check into this, the feedback and ideas are appreciated!

I'm surprised no one mentioned that there's a new, desired plugin: GearMe, an analogue to GearCollector. This is what I was waiting on before giving Ashita a try again. Installing now.

Fixed link. Can delete this post and prior.

***matix*** · 2013-04-03 06:23

I have just pushed an update to suitMeUpScotty, v1.1.3. Major changes have been implemented. All actions are now handled via packets rather than parsing incoming /commands. Some inline coloring has been added to make output easier on the eyes, and some various bug fixes. If you use the Ashita windower please check out the plugin http://tinyurl.com/suitmeup

***matix*** · 2013-04-06 07:57

I have released a very important update to suitMeUpScotty, bringing it to version 1.1.4b It fixes several issues created by the SoA release/March update. if your already an ashita/scotty user, please update to the 1.1.4 version. Important internal functions have changed and I cannot guarantee previous versions to be in working order. If you are an Ashita user, but are not familiar with scotty, please take a look! scotty functions similarly, but not identical to spellcast. It uses highly customizable Lua based profiles, and there a very large assortment of conditions/functions that can be used and/or checked against. Lots of additional information and documentation can be found on the main scotty page which can be viewed at http://tinyurl.com/suitmeup Thank you and good luck!

***matix*** · 2013-04-18 07:25

A new update to the LuaCast/Ashita scotty plugin (an enhanced spellcast style plugin allowing the use of LUA profiles) has been released bumping its version to 1.1.44.

Previous issues relating to some BST ja's and a few other instant activation JA's firing too fast for their gear to be equipped, have been fixed. The fix involved staggering the outgoing job ability packet by a very tiny amount and may be susceptible to issues from lag, should this be a problem the delay can be modified manually within the main file.

Asked earlier in the thread was if scotty has issues with equipping two items of the same name, Dark Ring's for example, scotty users have reported to me that this is not an issue.

A program/app/plugin for converting spellcast xml's into LUA profiles is in the works, since scotty is NOT setup the same way as spellcast, it will not be possible to always make a 100% conversion, however all the functionality, and more, is possible, and while converting a profile may be the easiest route for many people, users would highly benefit from rewriting or editing their profiles to best utilize the features that LuaCast and the AshitaCore provide.

A newly added feature will now allow macros to be bound based on a table inside your profile. Example usage for this feature is as follows:

Code:

macros =  
{
    ['ALT1']        = '/ja "Fight" <t>',    --binds fight to 'alt 1'
    ['SFT2']        = '/ja "Leave" <me>',   --binds leave to 'shift 2'
    ['ALT_CTR_SFT=']= '/ja "Berserk" <me>', --binds berserk to 'alt+ctrl+shift =' 
    ['CTR9']        = '/ja "Reward" <me>',  --binds reward to ctrl 9 (the jaGearAdjust was used to equip pet food and reward gear
    ['ALTq']        = '/scotty set idle',   --binds '/scotty set idle' to 'alt q'
    ['ALT_CTR=']    = '/scotty set tp',     --binds '/scotty set tp' to 'ctrl+alt ='
};

When/If using this feature, be sure to use CTR, ALT, or SFT long names such as 'ctrl' and 'shift' are not recognized yet, however they may be used with the newly added '/scotty macros' command, which can be used to print out all of the macros within the table or you may specify it to list all macros bound specifically to alt/ctrl or shift.

Examples have been posted to the scotty thread showcasing some nifty tricks, and how a user can setup their own /command interpreter. Functions that hook onHandleCommand, onHandleNewChatLine, onHandleIncomingPacket, or onHandleOutgoingPacket may be created by mimicking the events.Add function used in the custom command handlers. Some creative, elaborate and powerful functions/setups could be set up by using these.

If you are already a scotty user, or you wish to learn more about the plugin, take a look at its thread: http://tinyurl.com/suitmeup

Thank you, and good luck!

Ive released two new plugins, eventLogger, and follower.

Follower http://tinyurl.com/LCfollower is a simple and small enhanced following plugin, its setup so it can be loaded on a mule than controlled with /p and /t command like 'follow' and 'follow 6' (to follow at 6 distance). If you cannot live without dualboxing check it outQ

eventLogger http://tinyurl.com/evPlogger (name pending, autoEvent? suggestions?) Allows the user to log all LuaCast events to screen or to file. Events are added to the log in the order they appear, in REAL TIME, you can easily see exactly what, and when your ffxi is doing. Commands executed via menu can even be seen, and you can see how ffxi behaves internally with this plugin.
Here is screenshot with 4 examples of how the on-screen log works.

Fig1+Fig2 shows a log with many lines, with several types of events, (as they happen in real time), Fig2 is here to show the [Event] statusType logging in action, you might notice the [Packet logging off.], packets are logged to a file by default(can be toggled via '/elog plogger') in the format like "EA 03 4E 54 EF 0E 0D". events can be blocked per ID to make it possible to easily isolate the event or packet occurring at a certain moment(like, say you were trying to isolate which packets were related to querying the '/assist' command).

Fig4 shows the second logging mode "last" mode, this mode will always show the last event given to occur, the chatline, command, and packet in/out lines always remain, except they only show the last event to go off in their jurisdiction.

Fig3 Trigger Plugins - This is one of the cooler parts, I added some functions and posted a template profile(which ill post in a spoiler tag below for people to check out). What this 'trigger plugin template' will do is allow anyone to easily jump in perform code/functions anytime an event is triggered, invaluble for testing and debugging, and it can even be a great way for someone to quickly and easily interact with their ffxi.

The template is aimed to make interaction with ffxi's existing events much easier by simplifying the functions associated with events and exposing them to the trigger profile template. Exposed functions have names like onChatline(nMode, text) for each event, where nMode would be the ID and text would be the text given (since it was a chatline). onPacketOut(packetId, size), for example, could trigger a message anytime a certain packet goes off with a code block like this:

Code:

onPacketOut(packetId, size)
    if (packetId == '0x15') then 
        print('hello packet 0x15!'); 
    end
end

With the logger running and the template file it is real easy to interact with ffxi. Get creative, this plugin could be used for tons of things, think of it as being kind of similar to autoexec, only without any restrictions.

Check the spoiler tags to see what the trigger profile I was running in Fig 4. looked like. It has some basic prints for each event that could easily be modded, saved and ready to run for anyone. Read the plugin OP for more information about enabling eventLogger to see the trigger files (done via '/elog triggermode' after /luacast load trigger)

Spoiler: show

Awesome

**Rhinox** · 2013-05-28 14:28

I know you guys been working on an improved version of spellcast any idea when that will be coming out?

Gearswap and suitmeupscotty are cool but I'm looking forward to what you guys have coming up.

**Pebbs** · 2013-05-28 16:23

TL;DR Ezra beta 3 weeks from now. Ezra is close to spellcast in functionality.

FarmerBob has been reworking "Ezra" after he did something stupid and lost the near Beta. (He won't tell me what the stupid "something" was.)

From my conversations with FB, he expects Alpha in the next week, with Open Beta approximately 2-3 weeks from now.

From the pre-Alpha, it sort of looks like spellcast, achieves the similar effects, but does it differently.

Items I've seen so far in the pre-Alpha:
Character XML files (1 file per character)
Inside each character is a Job.
Inside each Job are 1 to many groups.
Each group has sets, and "triggers".

Triggers seem to be similiar to spellcast rules, but are different.

Example (remember from pre-alpha):
PLD Cure Cheat Example
Rule: HP=Max and (Action="Cure IV" or Action="Cure III" or Action="Cure II" or Action=Cure)
PreSet: curecheat
Middelay: 500
MidSet: maxhp
PostDelay: 4000
PostSet: TP

Example 2:
PLD sudden death imminent example:
Rule: HP<100
PreSet: TwilightReraise

Things I've complained about (again pre-Alpha):
1) Variable sets are not implemented (yet). FB looking into this.
EG: instead of returning to the TP set above in the Cure Cheat example, I'd like to be able to specify that my PDT set should be returned to or my PDT, whichever I've set previously.

2) It is not immediately clear how to implement a "day of week" type rule/group. FB assures me that he will add something that isn't kludgey.

3) The name of the plugin was taken from a character in FairyTail. FB seemed happy rather than upset at the complaint >.> but then again I wasn't overly serious when I complained.

**Rhinox** · 2013-05-28 16:41

Sweet can't wait

**atom0s** · 2013-05-28 17:44

As it stands now, given that I haven't talked with FarmerBob recently, we have basically considered matix's script "suiteMeUpScotty" as a viable replacement to SpellCast.
Granted, with what FarmerBob is working on, it could become a more suitable replacement.

Time will tell when Erza is released and we'll see.

**FarmerBob** · 2013-06-03 19:34

Since Pebbs spilled the beans early, I'm looking for a few Alpha / Beta testers to assist with the Ezra plugin. The FFEvo forums have more details on how to get early/experimental access.

Ezra's official blurb:
Ezra is a plugin to allow for complex interaction with gear swapping, log filtering, and log display, while attempting to remain user friendly.

I will also say that Ezra is trying to fill the same gap that players feel exist with Ashita, as which SpellCast fills for Windower.

My other plugin is called GearSwap, and is essentially the "easy mode" for avoiding writing pre-action gear swaps. GearSwap is getting a face lift as part of Ezra to better streamline moving between the two projects.

I do not see Ezra as competition for SpellCast, or as a means of enticing players from Windower to Ashita. If, however, you see me compare Ezra to SpellCast, it is only because SpellCast has set the bar, and is the current standard for automated gear swapping.
