Windower 4 - Discussion and Support

[Trumpy]

If someone is workin on findall is there a way to add a message when its done working? for example you are sposed to type //findall for it to take inventory of your inventory. but there is no message that i have seen that it is starting to check it or that its finished. and then i will log out to switch to a new character and a message saying something to the effect of "findall isnt finished working yet" sometimes i will give it like 5 minutes and get that error so i dunno if i am breaking it somehow. Just a thought/suggestion.

So for some reason Giant Scales aren't trading to Unstable Displacements for me. Same with storage slip 1, I couldn't get it to trade in my 45 salvage gear (which weren't on the slip as I could trade the slip solo and look at the gear on it). I go to trade, and when I hit ok, nothing happens. I have all the items still and such. Is there anything in regards to windower that may be causing this issue. I can't complete CoP on my mule because of the giant scales, which is highly annoying as they have 15-25 of chapters 1-5 to get a full set of upgrades and can't do anything about it.

Regarding lvl 45 salvage pieces, those go on slip 14, as they fall under salvage II.

For the scale... Just logout in front the displacement get in with out windower... Trade.. Logout get back to windower? Or just go all the way w/I windower... Your are not forced to just play with it -_-

So this is a windower issue? Guess I can farm extra scales on each char and do this...

You do know that every displacement doesn't need a scale right? Only certain ones.

[Kanriel]

Yes, only the unstable displacements, like the one I was stuck at.

[Trumpy]

Before trying the log out into regular version jsut to get thru the displacement did you try unloading various plugins/addons to find the culprit or jsut //unloadall then reload the plugins u need when thru? if unloading everything including addons doesnt work then its windower itself and not one of them.

I'll try this next I go for it before doing the windower-less option. I don't play as much on days I work and so haven't gone out to try it yet.

For some reason POL is crashing whenever I shutdown. Windower 3 had the same problem, but doing //unloadall before a shutdown would prevent the crash from happening. Is there any fix for it on 4?

hmm why is that an issue if you are already out of the game?

No, and we're not really concerned with fixing that. Use //terminate to get out quickly. Avoids the logout as well.

[Scrynth]

On the topic of weird crashes. I've had /sit crash me a few times recently. Not sure if it's gearswap/shortcuts or windower4.

[Arcon]

There's currently one known crash related to unloading addons. If you crash when not unloading addons it's something we don't know about and we'd like a crash dump if possible.

Why does battlemod KEEP saying HQ Tier 2 no matter what the synthesis is.... it's kind of annoying lol.

------------NQ Synthesis---------
Then immediately behind it
----------HQ Synthesis Tier 2!----------

--------Break-------
-----HQ Synthesis Tier 2!-----

[Byrthnoth]

That should be fixed now. I just pushed an update.

[SnickySnacks]

For those interested, we've added some new options and fixes to battlemod:
condensecrits - (default: false ) combines critical and normal hits together into a single line (the line will show as a critical hit line).
sumdamage - (default: true) turning this off will display individual hits in simplify mode on a single line
so instead of
Snicky 600 hit -> Mandragora
you will see
Snicky 100, 300, 200 hit -> Mandragora
if combined with condensecrits, the critical hits will show up with a !
Snicky 100, 500!, 200 critical hit -> Mandragora

We've also fixed kick attacks and guarded hits not combining with normal hits!

I'm open to suggestion for further improvements.

I've also created a PetTP Addon for those of us who love our pets.
It corrects some of the weird behavior of the plugin version of but otherwise should function pretty much exactly the same.
If you run into any bugs let me know.

Which weird behaviours? Don't think I've seen anything strange in a while.
Thanks for the addon btw, I love PetTP

An awesome thing that Nitrous did with his AutoControl addon is using Timer's "shared" timers frame to track maneuvers. Since it's a pain to track them with Bufftimers and Timers itself doesn't track them.
RUN has a similar problem with runes (even if they last ~5 mins compared to the 1 min of PUP maneuvers).
Maybe you guys could think to add this to timers by default? Or not worth the effort since I assume someone will want to transport Timers from Plugin to Addon in the future?

[SnickySnacks]

As for pettp:
In some cases avatars would show up with a numerical HP reading (it was picking up the puppet hps and applying them to other pets.
The current hps of a puppet were often slightly off due to pettp using the maximum hps * hpp versus using the actual current hps when available.
Plus I disliked how it would show stats for mp when my puppet had 0 max mp.

At any rate. Now that it's an add on its much easier to keep updated

Any tips in getting sandbox plugin to work on windows 8.1 x64?
If I enable it from windower gui game crashes right after main window appears (no directory created), loading from within game still lead to crash, but directory appears,empty, in temp.
FFXI and windower are both installed in "neutral" localtions (D:\games\PlayOnline, system is on standard C: ), UAC is disabled, paths in antivirus whitelist (using integrated microsoft one).
Error popping up is a generic appcarsh one.
