Windower 4 - Discussion and Support

Any way to fix the used Stratagem numbers on Timers? It's been showing 1 with a cumulative recast time rather than 1~5 with a single Stratagem's recast time for a while now for me.

This happens to me intermittently. Try reloading timers when it happens and it should start working normally again.

Are there going to be updates to Spellcast going forward? I know GearSwap is the new cool toy, but, I have zero programming knowledge. I've tried to figure out GearSwap, but, it's so confusing to me. If there are not going to be anymore Spellcast updates, is there a GearSwap for dummies anywhere?

Thanks.

Gearswap is working with the latest updates, however doesn't seem to return to engaged sets after weaponskills, or at least when i SA+WS on THF w/ Mote's THF file.

[Arcon]

We're working on fixing Spellcast. There's a really unusual bug that doesn't seem related to anything we did, so it's a bit of a bitch to figure out at this point.

it cant determine if you have a buff or not that part still broken, so something with you SA is messing it

Unrelated to all the update work: How do I turn things into monsters with DressUp?

[Arcon]

Speaking of update work though: Almost everything should be back to normal. Only SC currently has trouble loading the right file on startup/jobchange, but I'll fix that in a bit.

I'm still getting the lua runtime error for gearswap.

refresh.lua:456 attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)

I believe it's been said a few times in this thread that no one is currently working on FFXIDB, nor does anyone plan to. It's unfortunate, since the amount of times its problems have been mentioned indicates there's healthy interest, but they're looking for someone who wants to take over the project, and have not found someone yet.

(However, the map info specifically has been cited as being analyzed in some way, and presumably, an alternative mini-map display may be in Windower's future.)

[Prothescar]

I'd do it if I knew how to code ):

I'm having this same error today, double checked for updates before even loading gearswap 10 minutes ago, is their any way i can fix this?

We'll still be fixing issues with it, and I'm trying to develop for it, but I was mostly focused on LuaCore so far. I'll have a bit more time soon and we just got some reinforcements, so we might actually get the ball rolling again.

[Sechs]

One thing that hasn't been said yet but I feel it has to be said, despite the fact it may look a bit rethorical.

*Thanks for all the work you've done guys*

I'm particularly surprised by how, in spite of the sheer amount of broken stuff, you acted so fast and the day after everything (almost!) was perfectly working again.
Sometimes I take Windower and everything else as a "given" thing, like I paid for it or something, not realizing that it's completely free and developed through sweat and efforts by people who are doing it without getting anything out of it.
Thank you all guys so very much <3

That is a resources issue. When the resources are updated it will go away.

Edit: I updated GearSwap to potentially avoid this issue, but it has been a long time since I looked seriously at GearSwap's resource resilience so the bug will probably just pop up somewhere else. Also, the new gear obviously won't work until the resources are updated.

[Arcon]

Speaking of which, the resources have been updated. Type //updateresources to get them.

Thanks for the sheer amount of time you guys put into all these plugins to keep things working, with them having gone back to patching every month. It really makes the game easier to get friends playing and to find out things.

XI-Util was run by someone here, wasn't it? I still use the AH plugin a lot, but a lot of items added with Adoulin aren't searched by it. Any chance something like that could be added to Windower?

[Arcon]

Unfortunately that won't happen anytime soon.

When upgrading from 3.4 to 4, do I first need to uninstall 3.4? Or do I just install 4 and it will automatically overwrite 3.4?

[Arcon]

Best to put it in a different folder then just copy over your scripts and your Spellcast XMLs.
