Windower 4 - Discussion and Support

[nikia]

Yeah i use the filters, however unless it was changed it doesnt allow for filtering of readies and the result. I like seeing the casting/reading/using text, just not the result of the action. Like i dont need to see that a PT just got shell but knowing the WHM did cast it is nice to see.

Any reason why the below command doesn't work anymore?

send @all "\/\/exec keyboard/enter.txt"

[nikia]

After some more testing I can say BattleMod breaks ChatMon events, I use dozens for buffs/debuffs that wear and now none of them work.

[JSHidaka]

Not sure if this have been asked before, but is possible to make each profile have their own list of plugins/addons to load? I tried that Plugin-Manager but is not automatic...

[Cairthenn]

Plugin manager is the only way to do that really. The other option is you can create several files in the script folder containing the command line loads for the desired files/plugins, and then name it after your character or something. When you login, you could do //exec [name].txt.

The get_player() error with dressup should be fixed. Also, a small note on usage in general. Weapons, shields, and ranged really haven't been added yet, but they're still usable if you know the model IDs. I've been at it on and off (mostly off at this point..) for awhile now, but weapons have over ten thousand IDs I need to mostly figure out and map by hand. That said, if you edit the settings file manually, it uses the model ID, not the item ID. If you fill in something incorrectly, you're going to have some really weird results, which usually just means invisible body parts or incorrect gear, but I've seen stranger.

Beyond that, I'm open to suggestions. I got sort of sloppy/lazy with the interface because the model mapping had drained my desire to work on it so much, but I'm past that now if I pretend weapons don't exist.

And be sure to type '//du player [name] race galka' for everyone you don't like!

Not sure what (if anything) changed, but it works if you omit the \/\/. Also, quotes aren't necessary either (it concatenates every argument after the char designation with spaces).

Just got home, a few random questions if anybody feels so kind to reply:

1) Client updated to 4.1, I noticed the font in the console is different and slightly bigger, it stays slightly outside of the consoleBG now. Is it ok or did something mess up in my local install?
2) I remember someone asking about it but I don't remember the answer. What's the real difference between Distance (plugin) and Distance (addon)?
3) Anybody has a screenshot of MobCompass?
4) What's the real use of "Porter"? Anybody has a screenshot? I don't get why someone would use that when the same author released FindAll which basically should do that and much more, no?

Thanks!

That's normal, ConsoleBG's defaults haven't been adjusted yet. You'll have to do that in the settings XML for it.

2) I remember someone asking about it but I don't remember the answer. What's the real difference between Distance (plugin) and Distance (addon)?

a) The addon is invisible when you have no target
b) It's draggable (although that's still a bit buggy, due to its right-alignedness, you'll have to click to the right of it to drag it, will be fixed at some point)

You'll find more and more addons that used to be plugins, even if there's no difference at all. The plan is to convert as much as possible and discontinue plugin support eventually. Windower 5.0 will only have Lua modules and no more C++ plugins.

[Sechs]

Where do I have to change font type/size for console? I only found the XML for Console BG.
Also Timers' font is slightly... smaller I think, or different, but in the XML it's still the same Arial/8 I had before.

[Darkmagi]

Updated to 4.1 while I was in game, and half my chatlog was replaced with months old delve battle spam. Wtf? lol

[Arcon]

console_color [alpha] <red> <green> <blue>
console_font <name> [size]
console_timestamp [0|1]

Taken from here.

Note that changing the console font removes previous console lines. This will be fixed at some point.

[Sechs]

Yeah but in which file do I have to put those? They're not present in any of my current config files.
init.txt? But you talked about an xml file earlier.

[Arcon]

The XML is only to adjust the ConsoleBG background to match the console. It's in Windower/plugins/settings/ConsoleBG.xml.

Those settings go in the init.txt (or any other file you want). Those are normal Windower commands, you can enter them from the console as well, or chatlog with // prepended.

My Windower 4 updated today and i'm getting POL crashes whenever I start the game up. (looks like luacore crashes.)

What should I do?

[Arcon]

Provide us with a crash dump, as described here.

[Garris]

Trying to make a dump now, but WinDbg won't let me save or export it because "not enough storage is avalable", even after I free up a good deal of space.

[Zirael]

For some reason we're having resources issues on 4.0 that were already solved on 4.1. I'm not quite sure why. There should be a "settings v3.xml" file created in your ../addons/battlemod/data folder if you load battlemod with up to date libraries. That would have a <simplified> tag in it.

Not getting arrows here either, I've manually updated libs folder and redownloaded whole battlemod folder via launcher.
On Github page bmod settins file is 7 months old, maybe ..//data wasn't properly transferred from your beta 4.1 repo?

How much space you have on C It might be referring to your Temp folder and not necessarily folder where you want to save the file.

[Garris]

I have like 50 GB free of the 150gb my drive has. How much space do I exactly need to have free? like 100gb?

And I cleaned out the temp folder and no go.

[Sechs]

Those settings go in the init.txt

Cool, thought so.
Since these weren't available commands in the previous windower though, can anybody tell me the font type and font size used by default on previous versions of windower so that I can set 4.1 the same as my old versions?
