Windower 4 - Discussion and Support

[Esvedium]

Is ObiAway a working addon? I can't seem to get it to work at all. I start with all 8 obis in my inventory, cast Thunderstorm on myself, nothing happens, and when I click thunderstorm off, I get errors in the console:
"obiaway: Lua error (runtime) - ...am Files (x86)Windower4/addons/obiaway/obiaway.lua:69: attempt to compare number with string"

Line 69 in my obiaway.lua is: "if id>=178 and id<=185 then"

I also have another error that pops up in my console when loading obiaway:
"obiaway: Lua error (runtime) - ...am files (x86)Windower4/addons/obiaway/obiaway.lua:84: attempt to call field 'get_items' (a nil value)"

Line 84 in my obiaway.lua is: "items = windower.get_items()"

I tried changing obiaway to function off of /case rather than /sack by changing all the references from sack to case, but even with them all going back to sack, I get the same errors. Any help would be appreciated.

Obiaway has probably not been updated. Your best bet is to file an issue over at github:
https://github.com/Windower/Lua/tree/4.1/addons/obiaway

However, just looking at it...

windower.register_event('lose buff',function (id, name)
should be
windower.register_event('lose buff',function (name, id)

and
items = windower.get_items()
should probably be
items = windower.ffxi.get_items()

I don't use obiaway, but see if that helps

Tried to fix this addon just now. Please lemme know if it doesn't work still. I didn't test it since it was already broken and i don't use it. Also added the option to set your location you want it stored, as well as changed it so that it will put all unneeded obis away at once, rather than one at a time. The command to change location is //obiaway location <satchel/sack/case>. As before if you just type //obiaway it will try to store all your obis you don't need away. in your specified location (default is still sack)

[SnickySnacks]

windower.register_event('load'), function()
should be
windower.register_event('load', function()

(If it wasn't obvious, you can fix the .lua files yourself without waiting for the windower devs to update them. They'll still get auto-updated once they are officially fixed)

Porter seems hit and miss for me these days, without needing to delete windower completely and start over someone told me to just delete the luaCore file and windower would redownload it?
WIll that work incase i somehow corrupted it?

No, Porter is an addon and it resides elsewhere. It hasn't officially been maintained in a long time, it's quite possible for it to be broken somehow. If you can report a detailed error, we can probably fix it.

[Trumpy]

Porter still seems to be missing the chocobo masque/+1 and chocobo suit/+1 as well as glinting sheild and bomb masque/+1 and anythin added about the time chocobo masque was i guess.

Using Dressup I was trying to change my Iuitl set into the Dream set for xmas. everything was going swell until i got to hands and feet. I think the iuitl hands and feet model numbers in the file that came with it are wrong. as a test i switched charis hands+2 into dream gloves +1 and it worked, but nothing is changin when i use the iuitl numbers for hands and feet. I did not test the feet with a different item though but i assumed it was basically the same deal. head body and legs worked fine. What confused me is there is two numbers in the files u supplied. but the numbers that get put into the settings file dont necessarily match either of those numbers. I think i just realized i been using replace instead of self tho. gonna try that now. but still those numbers may be wrong for model numbers.

[Trumpy]

Also occasionally random plugins or addons seem to reload themselves. spellcast will for example. cant think of others off the top of my head.

Dressup i think does this too on occasion or will give an error sometimes when im on a mule. Today when it loaded up at 9;30 pm eastern i got error Dressup: lua error (runtime) - .../dressup helper_functions.lua 100: attempt to index a nil value
it doesnt crash just gives error.

This is due to slip 11 not being fully mapped in slips.lua lib file.

If you start another Windower instance while currently in one, and it updates a plugin, that one will automatically reload in the running Windower instance. Could that be what you observed?

[Trumpy]

Arcon, I do get what you describe yes, but sometimes i will be sitting there while lookin at the internets and i will see spellcast reload the job xml that i am on currently, or sometimes when i take an action or zone. I think a couple nights ago I didnt do much for a couple hours (was online afk) and when i got back into game i saw in the console like maybe 3 different plugins/addons had reloaded and i didnt open any other launchers. it doesnt seem to cause any problems when it does happen just kinda weird.
I think spellcast had been doing this before 4.1 was released, jsut more things doing it now. I dont think i have seen it at all the last day and a half.

Sometimes when I change job timers will glitch. Yesterday I changed from sam > mnk and konzen/meditate/sekka timers all stayed on indefinitely with their counters frozen. When I changed back to sam the same thing has happened with impetus and formless and the sam timers have cleared themselves and started working properly.

I should note this is happening when I change jobs while stuff is still on cooldown, if I wait or change jobs twice it clears everything properly.

[Trumpy]

oh yea i also meant to post about that problem fake. sometimes timers for jobs i wasnt on would pop up when i use an ability. happened on my dancer and as a monster.

Loging on mule for login points gave me dressup error:

/dressup/dressup.lua:81: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)

[Cairthenn]

DressUp error should be fixed. For reference, I made a lot of changes that shouldn't really manifest on the user end, but changes nonetheless. I was having issues with config, so I removed the self table altogether as well as character-specific saves. The upside (or downside) to this is that all settings in the global scope will be mirrored across dualboxed characters. So if I make myself a Tarutaru M, I will appear as a Tarutaru M on my mule's screen as well (my mule wouldn't, I would).

If you want settings specific to a character, you are free to add the relevant xml attributes to an entry of your character's name manually until I work out how to make config work better with keys that don't exist in the global table.

I'll see if I can replicate the Timers issue. I haven't seen it before.

Edit: That will be fixed too when it's pushed.

[Trumpy]

Well i was makin me and my mule wear dream armors. I thot i had unloaded both and was doing them one at a time. When i got to the second character i thot i unloaded it on the first, but i had forgotten. When i finished everything was working peachy but for somereason i think i had decided to reboot ffxi. when i got back on the first character lacked blink settings loaded. when i checked settings it had global blinks how i wanted but now there was a entry under my first characters name with no blink info, also all the dream armors werent set up for the first character again. I think its cause of how lua addons are always saving changes to the file, with two chracters adding to it it gets screwy.

I was going to try again this time makin sure only one character had the addon going at one time. I think once its set up individually it might work fine, unless there were other issues i dont know bout. But everytime i hopped on a mule character (as in not my main or dualbox) there was an error, sometimes different lines. But you may have fixed this. For what i want to do with the dream armor will work with out individual self settings though since i want them to be the same, I jsut wont change faces or whatevers.

Really like this addon cairthenn

Anyone know if AutoRA is broken or if it's just me? I edited my delay, saved, engaged, went to hit control D and nothing happens.

Is the silence Plugin still working? Mine hasn't worked for Spectral Jig in quite a few weeks

[Trumpy]

I havent tried silence addon for a couple days but before when it came out it indeed blocked all the equip messages, but instead showed 5-10 blank lines for like anything that happened. So i went back to the plugin which works fine for me.
